Lane replied “I-won't do it; I°il shoot.”
Hanly demanded him to stop several

face of. Lane: killing him instantly
Officer Ridley was soon on thy ground”
and found the pistol laying under the
breast Of deceased with his hand upon
it. Hanly came in town with Ridley
and was placed in charge of the Sheriff.
Hanly ‘is a young man of . first-rate
standing; higlily respected by all’ who

‘He said nothing, bat looked
first at one and then at another ina
a threatening manner. Robert Cleaves .
asked us to come down in the cellar to
tilling which he called water. All went
down exeept Lane. When I got haif
way down I looked round and saw that
Lane come out from the door and
stood Watching-us pistol in band. We
were gone from five to ten minates, and
on returning foud him in the same
place still flourishing his pistol. All
went into the saloon with the intention
of getting some beer except Lane, who
went around the corner of the saloon.
We were afraid that he would fire
through the windows as he had fired
in the saloon once before. Robert
Cleaves went into the brewery and got
a double barreled shot gua, the one before the jury. He cocked the gun with
the intention of making Lane give up
‘the pistol. We stood talking a minute
or two atthe door of the saloon, when
Hanly took the gun and he and Cleaves
went around the saloon in search of
Lane, I following. We found him in
the w shed, leaning on a bench
with his pistel in front of him: Cleaves
went up to him and wanted him to give
up the pistol or leave. In the meantime I heard him cock the pistol. Han‘ly held the gun up cocked, with the
stock resting on! his hip abd told him
to give up the pistol or leave the prem-— .
ises. He said be wonld leave. ‘He
went off, with his pistol still in his
hand flourishing it about. He went
towards Turner's, and in order that he
should leave we followed him up—Hanly with the ahead of tis. Robert
Cleaves and I suggested that Hanly
scare him. He said he would’nt do it,
it was all d—d' foolishness. We asked
him to do it several times and he refosed. When.we got tothe junction of
the road that. rans through Turner's
fot with the Grass Val.ey turnpike, we
again requested him to shoot, and Robert Cleavus told him to shoot over into
hie lot.in order to searethe man and
induce him to stop flourishing his pistol. The man kept flourishing his pistol all the way upthe road.. Hanly and .
myself turned around to.come back
when we reached the junction, and 1
looked back and saw Lane coming towards Hanly with his pistol in hand
flourishing it. He was from forty to
fifty feet trom Hanly, as near as 1 could
guess in the twilight. Hanly called
loudly to hitn stop. Lane said he would
not. He again called to hii to stop and
Lune said, “No won’t, I'll shoos.” He
told him to stop three or four times
more until Lane got within ten or fifteen feet of Hanly when the latter shot
hims Lane’s pistol-was held out in the
range of Hanly when the shot was
fired The man fell. I was not more
than fifteen feet from Hanly and in the
rear of him. The man feli, and in a
few minutes Officer Ridley and Weiss
came up.
Robert Cleaves testified. Heard Clark’s
testimony read and know the stateMments therein contained to be true.—
Was distilling and-came up whea .
heard the shot fired in the saloon.—
Lane hada pistol and said if I wanted a
dose he would give me one. lt was
about five minutes of six when the
killing occurred. ‘Lane turned and ran
back towards Hanly, should think he
was 150 feet off. Suould think he got
within twenty feet of Haniy befure the
latter fired.
D. Ww. Ridley testified. Ama police
officer of the town of Nevada, Recognize the body as that of Walter DeLane,
whom . arrested about two weeks ago.
Wasin the vicinity of the killing:—
Weiss’ little girl came into town and
told Weiss a man was shooting at his
hired man, aod . came out to arrest
him. Not finding him 1 followed up
She road and saw the flash of the gun,
Heard some one say something that
sounded uke hold up or keep back. I
went up and turned the body over and
found a Coit’s: revolver lying on his
band. (The revolver was produced and
recognized by the officer.) ‘Ihe pistol
had five loads and one was dischargea.,
Could’nt say that deceased was a man
of good character. Have known him
for some time.
