Before the Beers case opened Judge Howell announced that the Jury be taken to the Hot Springs Sunday, that Is those who desired to go, and those who desired to attend church could do so, properly at tended. On Friday night tha Jury at- tended the performance of "Zlra" at the Grand. George Gunnip, bookkeeper for the Electric Supply A Fixture company, was the flrat witness of the day. When he went to work cm the morning of the tragedy all the employes were at work. Shortly after Walker arrived and asked the wltnesa to send a boy for Mr. Lawrence. Ray Gledhlll was dlspinched on the errand and about 0:45 Lawrence came In. Wltnesa Gunnip then Identified In detail the diagram of the store. When Lawrence came In witness waa at work in the front part of the office. Then some one called up on the phone and the party at the oftier end of the Hhe asked If Mr. Lawrence waa there. Lawrence waa called to the phone. Witness did not remember what Lawrence raid ovre the phone. He did not remember what he testified to at the inquest. Did District Attorney Halverson: the over Lawrence Mr. apeak hear you phone?" Yes sir. Witness: What, If anything, did he My?" Q. I wouldn't be sure If he used A, any names, but he said "Come over to the store; Mr. Walker wants to speak to you. " Walker and Lawrence then went to the rear of the store. About five minutes afterwards Dr. Beers arrived, carrying a small satchel, hut before he arrived Lawrence said to witness, If there'a any trouble lock the front door, or words to that effect "After he arrived I locked the door," continued the witness. "The next thing that attracted my attention was scuffling. Shortly after the scuffling started there was hollering, yelling. The hollering was like as If some one was in distress. He would yell a while and quit a while. He did thla a number of times. I did not notice much scuffling after the yelling started. I might have heard talking, but I didn't understand what they said. I did hear somebody say "once." I waa not familiar with Walker's voice nor the voice of Dr. Beers, but I dont think Lawrence said It Walter Bauchamp then came from the rear of the store and Miss Stone, the stenographer, left Lawrence came to the door In the division partition and told them to keep the door locked. I saw two men come to the front door. One was A1 Power. What other words did you q. hear?" " A. I have an Impression Attorney Hutchinson objected. After considerable discussion the objection was overruled and the wltnesa told to answer. I have an Impression that some A. one called My God, Walker, dont kill me X dont know whether I heard that or some of the boys told me. Witness, continuing, said Lawrence came from the rear room and asked Hardy to get a hack. About 1:10 Law- 10 rence left the store. About 0:15 Walk er left the store and witness noticed blood mi his shirt. About 10 oclock witness went Into the rear room and he noticed blood on the floor. lie did not know whether the floor was mopped that day, but It had not been when he entered. Lying Lon the floor of the room when he en- tered were a pucketknife, watch. Huger nail file and. a pair of glasses. Ha picked up some of the things, Beau-cam- p picked up some, and he thought Lawrence picked up some. He did not know what he picked up nor what Lawrence picked up. He had the watch for a time and then he gave It to Law. rence. The glass of tha watch waa broken but it was going. A number of question were asked concerning the painting of a box In the rear room, the Insinuation of the prosecution being that the box had been painted since the tragedy, thua destroying evidence. Questions were also asked relative to paint marks on the floor. Attorney W. XL Hutchinson conducted the Referring to the telephone message received for Lawrence the witness could not remember whether or not Lawrence waa busy talking to Deputy Sheriff Cave at the time. Nor could he remember that when the call came Lawrence said: Im busy now; tell them to call agqln." When Lawrence did answer the phone wltnesa said he answered: Come over to the store; Walker wanta to ae you." As Lawrence answered the from the phone Walker approached rear of the store and told him what to aay. He waa not certain whether or not Walker said he "wanted to aee Beers." The attention of the wltnesa was directed to discrepancies in hla testimony today and hla testimony at the preliminary as to the time of the arrival at the store of Beers, Walker and Lawrence, and he continually reiterated hla answers of safety, I am not certain," or I do not remember exactly." While the wltnesa did not remember the exact words Beers used when he entered the store, he knew he asked for Lawrence. Q. "When did you see Lawrence next?" A. I did not see him until he came out and said Keep the door locked. " Q. "Did he say locked?" The witness hesitated for some time, and Judge Howell said, "Answer the question If you can." Then hesitatingly he answered, "I dont remember whether he said abut or nocked. The testimony he gave at the preliminary examination waa read to him In which he said he waa told to keep the door "shut." He wad asked if he testified that way, and ha replied, "I guess I did." Ie that your answer now?" Q. A. rTee." Attorney Hutchinson then took a new tack. He asked the witness If Wil 11am F. Hull, husband of Mrs Hull, the star witness, was in the store that morning and he said he was. Then the attorney started to go Into the question of the 'construction of the store building upstairs, where the Hulls lived, but Quat-litH'i'- ct certain?" REQUIRED RESERVE A. "No sir." Q. "Then why do you remember this fact now?" "The door waa shut and I would not have locked it If I had not been asked to." Q. "Your memory la not very good. Is It?" A "Bometlmea It Is, sometimes It Isn't." District Attorney Halverson: "Why did you not go bank to the rear while the fight waa going on?" The question waa objected to and was withdrawn. Gunnip was shown a small hunting-cas- e watch and asked If It resembled the one that was In his possession for some time, and he anewered "Yea." The wltneea waa then excused. Mlsa Edith Stone, etrnographer fir the Electric Supply A Fixture company, waa next called. She testified that ehe answered the telephone call and the question asked was, la Mr. Lawrence there?" and she replied that he was. "I turned around and called Mr. Lawrence," she continued. "Mr. Lawrence did not come at once and I laid down the receiver. Shortly after Lawrence answered the phone and Walker came forward and aald: Tf that's Beers tell him I want to see him,1 and Lawrence In turn reepated Mr. Walkers here and wanta to talk to you.' Five or alx minutes afterwards some one came In. I did not know Dr. Beers. He had a satchel In his hand. He Inquired for Lawrence and I think Gunnip said back there.' The men went to the rear and about five min utea after the scuffling began and when I heard the scuffling 1 put on my hat and left." She heard no words. Asked If she heard Lawrence aay anything about the door, witness replied: "I heard him aay something about the door something about lock' Ing the door If any trouble started. Aa she left Lawrence directed that the door he shut and It waa locked after she left. The elicited noth Ing new. ' Juror Hutchins asked, "Was the door unlocked when you went out?"
