The seneation of the day da Alia’
Moore case was the fairy-tale that ‘District Attorney Power drew out of
Francis N. Barns when the ‘latter was
put on the stand by Lawyer Tyrrell
to testify that he (Burns) saw the killing from bis room in the Morgan &
Roberts block and that Kilroy and
not Moore was the aggressor throughout. The District Attorney did all this
The story
that Burns told abont the whikglers,
machine men, etc., is like one that. reGently ‘appeared in the Black Oat
mes where he evidently read it.
Upon the reconvening of ‘court. at
three o'clock yesterday afternoon the .
map of the State was withdrawn gpon
objection of the defense, District: Attorney Power ssying. he. wanted no
error in the casa.
Robert Gates ‘re-called: Am sure
Kilroy had no cane when he and I were
talking on Broad street the night of
the killing.
Attorney Tyrrell made his. opening
statement: We propose to show there
are two sides to this case. We will
prove that Moore has lived alone in a
cabin for twenty years. He is a peculiar man, His. peculiarity has become a delusion on some matters. He
left his gabin on the night of the killing between 7 and 8, came to Eilers
man’s saloon and stayed till midnight.
Just before closing Kilroy came in and
talked with Hilerman, ‘then all went
out. Kilroy claimed the shutters had
not been closed by Moore the night before. Moore said he closed them.
Kilroy called him a liar. Moore weat
down to the Herald corner. Kilroy
and Gates had gone ahead. Kilroy
came back and called him a thief, saying he had threatened to kill him. He’
had his pistol in his hand. Moore said
he had said he would kill him if he
didn’t quit following him. Kilroy
called him a —— thief and said he had
a mind to run him in any way. They
separated. Moore called to Kilroy
that he dare not arrest him, but said
jhe would have the officer arrested in
tbe morning? Kilroy came back, took
him by the shoulders, put his thumbs
against Moore’s windpipe. and began
shoving him back. Moore feared he
was to be killed. Then came the firing. Moore's mind as to that part is a
blank. We will show Moore has been
demented for years, haunted by. strange
fears, We will show be was hurt on
the head when a boy of six; he was
struck by.a tree; that ten years ago he
was struck on ‘the bead with a windlass; that later he fell from a borse and
again sustained injuries that would
tend to prove him insane; will show
that insanity is tainted in the blood;
that uncle of father died of insanity
in Hlinois; that a brother of the father
has been confined in the asylum at
Reno for twenty-four years past; that
‘the father has a sister who has a son
insane; thut a cousin is confined at
Agnews; that his mother died insane;
that he had been hounded and dogged
by the officer and that it effected his
mind so that he believed the officer
was always after him; ander these cir-4)

Mr. Burns ‘was excused bas the

A copy of the wodiuatiaant in 1893
of Mr. Burns to the asylum from Alameda county, for hopeless -insanity,
was offered by the District Attorney.
Mr. Power said he wanted to call Dr.)
Tickell, who had examined Burns at
his request, but the doctor had been
called to North San Juan and would
not return till noon. This branch of the
trial went over.
‘Larry Mullen was called: Am a
miner. On the night of March 30 saw
Moore and Kilroy in front of BHilerman’s. ‘ Kilroy called Moore a liar. I
stepped back because I was afraid of
getting hurt. Icouldn’t hear all that
was said. Gates was not there then
that I could see. Kiltoy and Moore
went down street as I left. The shutters were: open the night before, although Kilroy said they were not. .
Cross-examined; Kilerman was there
all the time. I am so deaf I could not
hear well. Iwas afraid something
would happen. I went up Broadstreet.
I heard the three shots soon after. I
did not go' back becausé I had tio business there. I didn’t think there had
been any trouble. I was sober that
might. I had two five cent beers and
they would not makean old man like me

in your office that Kilroy said “you are .
a liar,” or “you lie.” i
C. W. Kitts, the Grass. Valley attorney, was sworn: Have known Moore
