1th Murder. Killed J. M.
1900. This Case has AtThan
any Trial Since the

>ass, of Union, and Duncan
iburg. Solicitor Sease was
Wallace and W. W. Dixon,
. * v*
r LEGAL BATTLE.
? . v. * '
ling. Mr.'Barney Bnrgo?s and I
w?*nt to Mr. Munro'a office. Mr.
Bur^esa said a man wanted to see
i me, we went together. I found
several in his office and they quee-.
uoueu me aoout it. i told tbeiu the
iruth. Nearly the whole mill nuked
me about it. 1 - toll) them all the
. same ihmg.
"What position was Splawn in? "He
was facing Going, by turning around
in stooping position toward Mr.
> Going who was leaning on the desk.
Cross examination. The question
as to Mr. Splawn's position was not
asked me by auyone except Mr.
Duncan and Mr. J. C. Wallace. Mr.
Going did not have an angry look
b< tore the shooting. I never heard
a word between them.
Dr. M. T. Smith?I reached Mr.
J. M. Splawn about 7 o'clock. I
was called by telephone. Met them
taking him homo. Made examination,
found one shot in olbow of right
arm, another in angle of j?w passed
out near spine, one entered spinal
column at side, another grazed the
hip. The shot striking angle of jaw
ranged downward and came out aix
inches below aud near spine. Another
struck olbow, ranged ud and passed
i out five or t*ix inches ubovc. Iin
mediate cause of death hemorhage.
Only necessarily fatal wound was the
one in his back. Did not get the
hall. Found several portions of the
i ullet ihnt struck the rib. Found
no ball in the body. Dr. Ausu-ll
an >w? d uie a ball said to be found in
toe bed. I was shown several balD,
don't know of my own knowledge
. where they ctttne from. Mr. Splawn
t made a statement before his death,
a His condition was critical. Not Ions
before he died he asked me what I
1 thought of his condition. lie said
he was badly wounded. I told him
1 would not disguise the fact that he
ii ? as very seriously wounded but advised
him to make a fight for his
t iife. I "think the statement was
it written by Dr. Austell. Don't ree
member if Mr. Splawn signed it or
i. not. I did not administer anything
o r.? him that night. Had told Dr. 1
? Doing that if Splawn recovered it
- would be necessary to amputate his
e hi in.
A? this point the Solicitor moved
r. thai the court adjourn until 3 p rn.
d in honor of the burial of the dead
u preeidei t The Judge said he thought
r.. toe motion eminently proper, ond nd;?
journed court.
w The jury were instructed to go and

) were instructed that ;hey were not
