To Mr. Evans I Told Golding that McFarlane had gone for a gun;this excited him considerably; other people heard the remark. To Mr. Johnson I thought he had gone for a gun because I knew of his jgoing for a gun at other times before. II.W.Ram lose said: I live in Manti; uras there the evening of the killing; know Gooledges saloon; was there that evening; went there about 7 oclock; I saw several men there; the defendant was not there; Golding and Ilanson were there; they were in saloon, but afterwards they went into the poolroom; Golding challenged Hanson for a game of pool; McFarlane came in and said he was going south in the morning; Hanson said: Well, Defendant said: I will go then. go, my brave hero. Golding spoke up. IIe is no hurry ,but he is a gentleman; McFarlane said he was no gentleman and then Golding slapped liim in the face; McFarlane then went out and when be got outside he turned SnCyou,hl5olding went to the door, and throwing up his hands, he said: We are unarmed, fire away. I was outside when the shooting was done; I saw McFarlane fire two shots at the deceased men; Golding was his first; Harmon said, Oh, my God, Im shot! at the same time he fell; 1 heard McFarlane saying, Ill show you if I darent shot. I helped Golding into the Baloon, and then started after the sheriff; I saw McFarlane going west; he carried a gun, not a pistol; I saw the wound on Ilanson afterwards; lie had a wound on his right breast; it was about an inch and a half in diameter; I saw defendant that evening before the shooting; he was about fifty feet west of the saloon; he had a gun under his coat; I said, Good evening. Cap.; where are you He made no reply; I went up going? to the saloon, and lie came in afterwards; he had no gun on when he came in; saw no arms on either Hansen or Golding. Recess till 2:30. liamlose Saw McFarlane about fifty feet from the saloon; 1 got to the saloon first; McFarlane came in quarter of an hour later; didnt know that McFarlane was making arrangements for a bunt; had no conversation with him then ; saw him again m the pool hail that night; he went out first; followed him out in three or four minutes. Went out to see whether he was going to shoot those men. Thought he was going to shoot them he had a gun; Informed them thatMcFarlane was to shoot; stood in the saloon doorgoing and saw the shooting; Goldingand Hansen come come out and McFarlane was retreating to the ditch by the tie post; McFarlane held the gun ready to shoot. Witness indicates position of McFarlane and Hansen and describes position of Hansen after he was shot. Hansen was walking when he was shot. He was shot in the right breast couldnt say which way shot I heard a conversation betweenranged. Han-Be- n and Golding in the saloon didnt Hee Golding strike him. Golding slap- Eed liim because he doubted Hansen a gentleman. After Hansen went out I tehl them McFarlane had gone after a gun didnt know that but supposed so. Noticed something peculiar about McFarlane that evening, for lie didnt answer me when I spoke to liim. Think Golding had pulled ilia coat off while playing pool. Do not know whether GoldiDg or Hansen was armed; have been acquainted with McFarlane a number of years; his action and speech that night was peculiar. Hansen said, Fire awayi were not heeled! I stood in the house and could see the gun-pan- el; McFarlane said. Now G d d n you, come out. By Johnson Don t know whether defendant had a gun concealed under his coat thought it was a gun; 1 think it was a dark night, not moonlight; this occurred after dark; Golding was a large man; both Golding and Ilansen were larger than defendant: guess the slap Golden gave him could be lieurd all over the room. ByEvans Neither Golding nor Hansen was in any threatening attitude; they were making no demonstrations. By Johnson Could see all the parties at the time of shooting they were nearly in a line. Witness marks positions on the map. liy Evans Ilansen fell over toward McFarlane. By Johnson Where was he lying when you last saw liim? IKittness He was lying on liis coffin. F.

Ilansen spoke up and said: Go! What of it? It might have been a minute before Ilansen and Golding followed McFarlane out. Witness here described how long he though it was, and guessed a minute, within fifteen seconds. Golding went out of the door first, Hansen followed. In three or four seconds 1 heard the report of a gun. I kind of sat down after they went out stooped down to avoid any possible shots. Dont know why McFarlane had tears in his eyes that night; thought his conversation with Cooledge had something to do with it; think McFarlane replied to Hansen about going south, I will, my brave hero! My testimony befere the commissioner is apt to be correct I could remember better then. Witness to Johnson1 What are you trying to get at? Golding broke in. He is not a hero, but a gentleman. Golding afterwards slapped him; couldnt say that I heard McFarlane say, When! talk to a gentleman I stand on my feet. By Evans II is actions that night were like he were angry; didnt know what it was. I never saw him with tears in his eyes before. No agreement was made to take our guns to the saloon that night for the hunt. The arguments in the McFarlane murder case opened Monday morning by W. R. Reid, prosecuting attorney or San Pete county. Judge Jacob Johnson followed for the defense. J. W. N. Whitecotton,tlie recent legal luminary arrival from Kansas, closed in behalf of the defendant. During White-cotto- ns remarks, which were full of and pathos eloquence, McFarlane was much affected, bo..cd his head over his arms on the table and shed tears freely. At 3 o'clock Mr. Evans began to address the jury. Among the listeners were several ladies, who sat through the arguments with apparent interest in the lawyers talk. The charge to the jury was given at 4:30 p. m., and at 8:05 thi verdict of murder in the first degree was returned with a recommendation to mercy. Three hallots were taken. The first stood seven to five in favor of the verdict given, the second was eleven to one, and the third was unanimous. The murderer exhibited no emotion, but looked careworn and weak. He evidently expected the dose lie got. April 22nd was set for sentence, when George Hancock will also be sentenced. Biga Apples are gown fr U trees.

After the sale there was a nice uuw pa., $13,196,680, and this balance the men met in March 25, 1883, in New York and divided among them. Brice, who had put in nothing, drew out $1,000,000, and W. B. Howard, who had discovered the financier in the Ohio county barrister, drew out $3,000,000, besides his profits in the firm of Brown, Howard & Co. In a little less than two years thus Mr. Brice went from poverty to affluence. Then, as most western millionaires do, he drifted to New York. He took a house on Fifth avenue, near Vanderbilt's, and at one time rented James Gordon Bennetts villa at Newport.

If he lives twenty years longer, he will be the richest man in the United States. His properties at present are supposed to bo worth $20,000,000. If they were Bold out under the hammer they would in ail probability not bring more than three or four million dollars, but if Mr. Brice should take an office and devote five years to closing out his property he would have, no doubt, at least $20,000,000. He has railroad interests all over the United States and in Canada, and he is building considerable in the northwest and in New Mexico. Still he is now only 42 years old, and he has made all of this in the last decade. He had nothing to start with, and his success is the result of brains and push. Singular.
