The Tdstimony All in-The in-The Arguments Now in Progress. Warming the Jury With 'Words. At the opening of tho court on I Tim rort.iv nnrninc ths crosa-eiamin- alion ol the defendant, JOSEPH DUDLEY, Was resumed was liviog at Spencer Spen-cer Raymond's, I bad made it my home since my wife and I aeparated. I do not atrip there now. That night I had teen in the houae about two . hours before Harry came. I intendec to etuy there ail night. I did noi , undeimand that Harry was gettins 1 ready to go to Snake River. He did not tt 1 1 me bo. I wanted to aee him about a horse trade. I don't know that he came to ehow ma hia team. I could ntjt eay that I did or did not eeo Hurry evey day after Thureday. I did not go to Wad man's to Bee Harry on Thursday at any time. Harry eeem surprised to see Stephens there. He sid: "Hello!" or eome exclamation, aud wanted to know about tho hoise race. I believe one of Harry'e thumbs waa cut. Don't remember that he bad it done up that night so that be had to hold it up. Don't know whtthrr it was cut off or not. Stephens and Raymond were related by marriage When I eaw flyrum Dudley at Willow Creek and bo told me what W adman bad said, I to!d him I would be on my watch. That's all I can remember of Baying about that. A general convention on the matter probably followed, but I don't remember all that was said. At Willow Creek my brother and I were away from Wad man about two hours or more; between two and three hours. I know a young man named Jos. Smith. I probably saw hira two or three daya before the killing. Do not recollect being with him wtien he waa telling my lortune with cards after I returned from Draper. He told my fortune several time. Don't think he told my fortune after I came back from Draper. I recollect talking talk-ing to him about my wife. Don't recollect telling him 1 waa going to live with her again. If I said anything any-thing I eipresaed Bympathy with her and the children. Can't tell exactly what I did eay, any more than I said she waa true to me. I did say I thought she waB aB gc xi a wile aa ever lived. Don't know that I thought so when I returned from Draper. I would have thought so il I proved her story true. Don't remember Wad-man'e Wad-man'e name being mentioned. I told him that Harry W adman was a good or trusty boy, and I might have said be waB as gcad a friend as I had. He said bethought it waa a dark complexioned person that caused the breaking up of my family. No name waa mentioned. Said he waa a peiaon I thought my friend; hut it waa characterized aa being Wadman who had been eo guilty. I had no hard feelings against Wadman. Djn't know that I eaid so to Smith. It was after my wife and I separated. Had not been to Draper. Never went to Smith'a after I rode to Ogdiin with Wadman, that I can recollect. re-collect. I staid in Draper a couple or three days. I lelt Oeden on Saturday Satur-day morning to go to Draper. I made the whip Borne time before tbe ahray took place. It was first an Indian whip, and I braided raw hide into it, and 1 then covered it with buckBkio. Don't know that the butt waa loaded. Know Cbriatian Olson. Don't remember re-member see eg him in Raymond's corral ihe morning of the day of the killing. Don't remember saying that it waa better than a pietol; that the butt coat me (our-bite. Don't remember re-member saying anything about ita being a good thing witli which to defend oneaelf. lu regard to the statement about to be made by tbe witness in regard to a pistol Wadman wanted back f. Dm witness, he Btated that Wadman had traded him a pistol after he came to Weber, and that Wadman wanted is back. It wbg about a year before the thing occurred, oc-curred, I fired it once and laid it on the cupboard. Wadman proposed to tane the pistol to give it to Dummer, and I said ho could take it, and he took it. and I never saw it again, When Harry firat told me about bim and my wife, it was while we were going to Ogden, four or five, or three or four daya before I went to Draper. Somewhefia near there. Re direct I did not know what Wadman meant when he Baid "Take it back," on Moiiday night. He put hia hand behind, as if to draw the uitttol at the aame timo. Hia cut thumb was on the ritht baud, I be lieve. I never saw it and rati Id not tell how it wao cut, or anything about it. I suppoaed, from the way he whb fooling around, that it waa but a Blight cut. I tirat heard ol the cut before mo and my wile separated. I can't tell whether he baa the thumb wrapped up the night of tho : flair. I did not see him favor the thumb any way on Sunday when he waa driving bis team. Smitn pretends to bo a fortune for-tune teller. I had been there before I waa married, aud he told it pretty true, and I went again to get ine Trhyafind wberelcres of my wife'sleav-ing. wife'sleav-ing. Tho laat time I went to Smith's waa a abort time before I went to Ogden Og-den with Wadman. He did not tell my fortune alter I had the talk with Wadman. Waduaan ones started to Montana with one of my teams, btiL bo sent word be was too eick to go, and I went and Harry came back auu worked on my place while I waa eone. I have not often been sworn in court. WFS. MARY RAYMOND Recalled A few daya before tho killing kill-ing I saw WaJman. He came to Bee Joe. Ho said then that hie thumb waa pretty near well. Crotia-examination Thia waa on Thursday evening. Wadman did not say he hud been sent for. PRESTOS BLAIR Sworn On Thursday before Wadman Wad-man waa killed I had a talk with him about Dudley's wife.

(An objection wua raised aa to the method of questioning the witneBsea, and it waa diacused.) Dudley said to me that morning that the whip waa belter than a pistol. He held the butt up to me and eatd tbe loaded nart cnt him t four-bita. He suid it was a good ' thing for a man to defend himself : with when Ireiguting or when at-1 at-1 tricked. (The witness identified the whip as being thn same.) Croea-examination Have known Dudley two or three years. I was going by RaymoDd'a. Dudley was standiug in the corral and called my attention to the whip, I waa there about five minutea. Did not write the conversation down. Did not attach any importance to it. Talked to a good many that day. Cannot tell what I said to all ot the persons. I saw the whip in the evening and thai fixed my mind on what took place in the morning. I have talked to James Wadman about wrmt Dudley said to mo. I have talked fo Wm. Knights about it. Am not very well acquainted with Wadman. I JOHN SPIRES, JR., Recalled Told of taking Wadman:e body home. I saw a piatol on the cupboard cup-board about five minutea after we got in Wad man's house. Did not know tbe pietol. CroBs examination It waa two or three hours after tbe shooting. 1 don't know that John Wadman was at the inquest. John went home with the body, Lyman Skeen pointed the pistol out to me when we got to Wadman's. STEPHEN GREEN Recalled I knew the Dummer piatol. I got it about a week after the killing. The piatol waB eo that tbe cylinder would revolve aometimea and sometimes it would not. I traded it the BBiue day to one of the Wad-man's. Wad-man's.

Did not kuow in what condition the piatol was. Sometimes it would revolve re-volve five or six tinm auccesaively. JAMES SKEEN 8worn I helped to take Wadman's body home. I eaw a piatol on top of the cupboard in Vadman'a house. My attention waa called to it and I examined it. It was not loaded and it did not appear to bava been loaded. Wo examined it becauBe Dudley had said be killed Wadman in Bell-defenee and that Wadman had a piatol. Cross-examination Dudley had said Wadman had a piatol. We got the body borne between 10 and 11 o'clock. I don't recollect who called my attention to the piatol, but it waB not a Wadman. I don't know whether there were any capa on the pistol. MRS. WADMAN Recalled I remember the Dummer pistol. It waa kept on top of the cupboard cup-board two or three weeks before the killing. During that time Henry never touched it. About Christmas time he loaded the pistol to kill aome doga, but did not fire it. Some time after he ehot it off at a post. He then laid it on the cupboard and it remained re-mained there until it was given to Dimmer alter tho killing. Harry never took it again. The introduction of the garments the overalla and iumpera of tho deceased waa objected to by the defenBe. (Overruled. ) The clothea were identified as being her son's. His brother bad worn them.
