defendant. Ceorge Dillen to me
We talked about the trip to Cal

nient he was receiving in jail.
Sheriff Thomas entered about that
time and asked me about the Ash
Madow fence feud that was ex
isting there. He said that neith
er of us would get any votes
: there on account of this trouble,
j Dillen then began talking, saying
i-Oiily one thing is bothering me.
! If I kuevv she was true or not it
I would make no difference- Kios
and 1 had talked this over three

' went to dinner.'
The testimony of Mr. Dunn
from this point was almost iden
tical with that of Deputy Sheriff
Van Vleet, telling where Williams
took the little gun and went out
to the still, and to which liios
later in the evening. The shoot
ing and the burial of the body
and Williams started to walk to
was told to the jury in the same
manner in which Mr. Van Vleet
had explained the alleged con
fession of Dillen. Dillen told
witness that wtieu selling .u i
Williams three linns, once over
table he shot Williams three tunes
once over the eye and
twice on each side ot
the nose. When Mr. Dunn asked
nili.oi nliout the watch and was
shown the same he said he was ig
norant of any knowledge of it.
Defendant then said he had three
defenses, "self defense," "un
written law,' 'Williams breaking

to kill him " He asked witness,
to find out 'if my wife was true.'
"He asked men," continued the;
witness, "if we had Zampati. and
I replied yes, and he 'said to
'turn him loose as he was inno-
cent and knew nothing about it.' I
Witness stated that Dillen told f
him the reason he killed Williams ,
was because he thought he had)
tl,een intimate with his wife, but,
he did not know whether he had
been or not.
