Indicted for tho killing of Jolin
Gunning at Centralia on
July 2Gth, 187G.
The first witness called whs J A McNnir
who was sworn, and testified as follows:
Examined by Jlfr JIughctAbuut two
o'clock on the 5tb of Julv. 187C. I wrts on
the porch of llnuar store with John PellTer!
looked towards. tho street and saw Gunning
Iuuuiiiik uuwii, ne uaiuu uuu me more nione;
he hail n pail with leaves and huckleberries
in 11, leaves at bottom and berries on top; in
about 10 or 20 minutes he started up the
street; went to Mrs Cain's, didn't stop more
than n minute, or so; he crossed over the
street and said': "I am coinc in here." lie
went straight lu and walked to the rear end
of the store. Uurley kept kind ol a store
and drinking home. Saw his wife talk with
him n little and she went back nut nf sirrht.
she came back soon with n liltchei: she
poured something into a itlass nnd Gunning
raiseu tne gias a tnougn no was (Kinking;
shortly after that she came out from behind
the bar nnd crossed lo the north side of the
room; Gunning followed after her and they
stood and talked a little while, I looked down
the street and saw (Jurley in front of Fort
ner's tin store. He walked straight tin the
street and went into his nlace. and dawn tn
where Gunning and bis wife wero talking;
lie swore anu grnuDea tne pan irom her and
bit Gunning over the head; thn he crowded
Gunning towarda the front dour, kicked at
him; at the'door he struck at Gunning with
a slick, and I thought he hit him, then lie
kicked the pail out aud it rolled into the
street. Ills wife caught hold of her husband
and held him back; Gunning squared him
self on the walk and put up his fiats as though
he would fight.
Ho said, "Come out of that Curley. D n
ur bouI I cau whip you." Curlev came to
..1 r i.t ,
your BUUl I cau wuip yuu.
djor nnd Mrs. Curley caught hold of Curley
ana tried to 1101a mm, lie got loose irom
her and jumptd off the walk toward Gunn
ing, picked up a stone, threw it, it hit on the
walk in front of Mrs. Cain's, lie threw
another stone and came near hitting Mrs.
Gunning. Then Maggie Gunning, daughter
ol John uunning threw a stone and hit
Curley iu the forehead. He staggered and
bled bad. He soon sta rted to pick up an
other stone but Mrs. Curley took him in tho
home. -Mrs. u anu .iiaggie look uunning
home. About 10 or 10 ininutts after that
Curley came out holding a cloth to bis head
and went down the Btreet to a druc stofe.
That was the last I saw of Curley until I
.saw him here in court. After Curley came
in I saw Gunning put his hand up to defend
himself from Curley. Did not tee him strike
at Curley. He was backing towards the
outer uoor. uuriey Kept striki ng at nun to
nut him out of the house. Gunnintr was
just going through the front door the last
time Curley struck him. When Gunning
came into my skre alter being put oat by
Curley I felt the back of bis head; there was
a lump there abouttoe sizeot an ece. Uuu
ning aiked mo to feel the lump. From the
time that Curlev nut Gunning out until
Gunning came into my store it was about an
hour or an hour and a halt. Alter that!
saw a crowd of mct carrving a man up tho
street. They carried him into dunnlng's.
It was about an hour from the time I saw
Maggie Gunning hit Curley with Btone until
l saw the man carried to uunning s. just al
ter I i"aw the crowd brine the man up the
street, I saw a man at the side door of Cur
ley s house, tie went back around tho cor
ner of the house. I resided in Centralia af
ter that until May, 1877. Curley's house
was on the oppostto side of the street from
my store, about 100 feet distant. Gunning
was somewhat ;intoxicatid when he came
into mv store after Curley bad put htm out.
I.don't think Curley was drunk when I saw
him. When he aiked me to treat him he
was not excited. He afterwards became ex
cited in talking about Gunning. Gunning
was about 60 years old. The ptick Curley
had when he said he would smash Gunning's
head was about 1 inch in diameter and
about 3 feet long.
Cr"05-amtnet by Mr, Jiuclaleur Curley
carried a cane that day. Sometimes
he carried a cane and sometimes he didn't.
It was a straight cane a near as I can re-
mcmuer. wiun t examine it particularly.

in the store and on the stoop John l'eillcr
and Anthony Keller were with me. My
store wa3 exactly opposite Curley's hemsc.
When Curlev was in my store alterwards.
John Peiffer and Anthony Keller were pres
ent. I have not seen John Peifl'er here. I
am told he lives in Kansas. lie was at the
store all the afiernoon. Have not seen An
thony Keller here. Understand he lives in
Centralia. It was about IS or 20 minutes
afttr when Gunning went Into Curley's
house during the quarrel. Didn't see
them at tho door of Curley a house, nor on
the pavement. Mag lived with her father
at the time, unmarried. From Curley's to
the drug store it was 400 or 000 feet. I
saw Curley go into the drug stoic. It was
about three-ouarters of an hour after that
that I Faw a man carried into Gunning's. I
was tubpwnaed last Saturday morning iu
Cherry Valley, Illinois.
Adjourned until 2 p. m.

he came over Uunning came over one side
of the street and Curley on the other. The
old mnn was sitting where tbe masons were
at work at the culvert. Curley went into
the drug store. He had blood on his head.
He came out ot tbe drug store and we'it up
the street and crossed over and came down
tbe other wide to Former's house, came over
towards the drug store and stopped and got
a stonr, went towards where Gunning was
sitting, struck him iu tho head and tbe old
man tell over senseless, mere wasstones
and clay in the Btreet. When he lifted the
stone he went on the pile where the old man
was sitting and then threw the stone, lie
was pretlv near uunning when be threw
the stone. The stone would weigh two or
threo pounds. He appeared to throw the
stone with full force I went over to where
he wns lying. Some men carried him home.
I was about M or .IU yards away when (Jur
ley struck him. I was near by when they
carried him nway. Gunning's bouse was

17 y can. I stood on the pavement by
drug store when tho blow was struck, Wlirn
Curley came down the street ho w.is coming
in the direction of tho drug store. When he
saw Gunning he stepped oft" the sidewalk and
made for lilm. He passed up on the east
sldo of the street lowgtds homo after the
blow. There were one or two masons work
ing at the culvert. When I cot lo where
Gunning was lying there were half a dozen
or mnro people there, Don't know what has
become ot the stone that wns used. I saw
a stone there that was supposed to be the
stone, it had blood on it. Don'tknow wheth
er anybody took It. btonea wero lying loose
on the Btreet. It wasn't long after Gunning
was struck that he was taken home. It was
about ten minutes after Curley left the dtu
store until ho came back across the street.
It might be less aud it might be more. Ho
went up the street about one square, about
300 feet. He was in the drug store only a
few minutes. I was at the place where Gun
ning lay a few minutes.
Jtedirecl by Mr, Iltujhet -When Curley left
the eldewalk ho went a few steps toward
Gunning, who was not many yards
away. The old man waa Bitting on the cul
vert, Curley came down on the west side,
and stepped off as he was going to the drug
store, and when lie saw Gunning he stepped
up nnd struck him, Curley did not ap
pear to bedtunk.
Cross-examined Curley had a cap on his
bend. There was no blood on his laco. lie
went Into the drug store without stopping.
Dr. 11. M. Lashelle sicorn Keside in
Centralia. Was there in July 187G. Am a
practicing physician. Gunning waa hurt on
the 2Gth of July, 1870. Between 4 and 0 p.
m 1 saw him. He was in an uuconecious
condition, aud I ordered him to be put in
bed. l examined l.im and found a fracture
of the skull. The right parietal bono was
broken and driven in on to the brain 2
inches in one direction, 1J in anotbrr. I did
not then know how deep it was. The next
morning I discovered effused blood on the
eyelids, and then I had every reason to be
lieve there was a fracture at the base of the
brain. .Gunning died on the 2nd of August.
I saw him two or three times every day. He
remained unconscious all the time. I tried
to speak with him several times; he would
try to answer Bnd couldn't. 1 made a post
mortem examination with Drs, Yocum and
Yeomans; We (ound the fracture of tho
right parietal as stated before, a depression
ot the brain J nf an inch, and two other
iractures, one extending downwards or back
wards to the occipital bono at tho base of tho
bralu, also an abscess farmed at tbe base of
the brain. The wound was necessarily mor-
tal. It appeared to be made with a blunt in
strument. Tho skull was about three-sixteenths
of an inch thick. There were no
sutures at the fracture. The blow that
caused tho fracture must have been deliver
ed with great force. I treated Gunning as
my patient Irom the beginning. A man in
his condition could not form and express an
intelligent thought. Gunning was 07 years
old. He was a man of ordinary build. He
was not as strong apparently as Curley. The
diirereuce was k the age. He might have
been as tall.
Co3 examined My house ia about 175
feet from the drug store. I was not at home
at the time of tne blow, I was told at tbe
drug store that Curley hod been looking for
me before tbe blow. 1 nave a record 01 visits
made to Gunning after he was struck. Dr.
Yeomaus was called in consultation on the
th on the 28th 20 and 31. I think Gun-
ncdied in the night. I was there between
and 9 o'clock on the evening before he
died.
In answer to the court.
The post mortem was held at the instance
coroner Murphy.
Dr. Yeomans sworn Have been a nracti
cing physician lor 20 years, lived in Ashland
In July 18(0. I visited John Uunning 2 or
ree limes. I think I saw him tbe second
day after the injury and twice afterthat. I
i.iuiid mm almost entirely insensible, irom
injuries described by Dr. Lashelle. Trephan-
; would not nave been possible, i assisted
tho nost mortem. fThe witness produced a
diagram showin the character of the wound
and Iractures I
ine niiw must nave come irom aoove
downward, a little to one side but so as to
nke the skull pretty nearly at right ang es.

one enough to make examinations. We
consulted on the subject of trephaning.

Michael Itrcgan, lived In Centralia 1870, with
my parents. My father went, for huckle
berries on the morning of July 2G 187G. He
came back about half past 1 o'clock. Saw
him first at Curley'a alter he came back. I
saw Curley strike him a blow; Juat rs I was
going over he struck him with u stick. As
I got to the pavement he struck my lather
another blow aide ol' the head. He pushed
him out and father nearly fell as he came
out. inert Uurley took the bucket and
struck falh r with It, then threw
It out In tbe street. Father drew himself
up as if he wanted to fight. Mrs. Curley
caught hold of Curley and dragged him In.
and I went and caught hold of fatber and
pulled him off the pavement by the coat. I
got him home and left him talking to moth
ei and went to ge Mm something to eat,
when J came out bo wasn't there, mother
said he had juat gone out. He soon came in
again aud said 111s bead was sore. I looked
and found a lump on his head, about as big
as an egg. There was also a little scar on
the top of his head, He look very little

I washed the dishes aud went out for some

ley was going to tight with father and I ran
between them; then Curley picked up a daughter touch Cutley. At the second quar

)ou. lueti he went backwards a little to
the middle of the street, nnd fired the stone
at father, then lifted another stoue and
threw that ; my mother was running to the
opposite side and the stone struck her cloth
es I think. I said If he fired another I would
strike him back, and then I went to look for
a stone, lie picked up the third stone and
threw at me, but didn't hit me; it caught
in my clothes and fell at my Bide, and I
picked it up and struck him with it ; lie
was picking up another one when I struck
him. W)ien he fired the stones at me he
called mo bad names. I struck him some
place on the lorehead and ho staggered but
didn't fall. He ran into the bouse, and
mother and I fetched father ln our house.but
he went right out again and up the street to
Dan Curry's. Luke Tarnv stood there and
they Btood there talking. Mrs. Curley's sis
ter came to their door and shook her fist at
me, 1 saw uuriey come 10 tbe door with a
cloth to his head. He came out soon with
his hat on and went up towards the Post Of-
ice. the Post oihee andthedrug store are
n the same room I seen him crossing over
from Fortner . I didu t know father was
there, mother said bo was, Curley turned
up the bank by the culvert, I seen him lift
up his hand but 1 couldn't see whether be
had anything in It. I ran into the house
and that's ail I seen until I seen father in
the house. It might have been half an hour
after I saw Curley raise his hand until I saw
miner; be waa all bloody. Thentbey took
him up stairs. Dr. Lashelle came in and
saw him, and was there eveiy day, from one
to threo times a day. Father never Bpoke
aiter ne got the blow, nor opened bis eyes.
When we lifted his eyelids bii eyes" were
turned up. He cot worse every day

I supposed to bo the one that Curley threw;
there were many stones lying around; the
culvert waa open. Gunning sat on the
south side of It I think, about ten or twelve
feet from tho sldo walk. Curley threw with
one hand. He threw very quick itfter ho
picked the' stone up: he was ln his shirt
sleeves; It waa warm weather; be had on
a cap, Gunning was in bis shirt sleeve
with a waistcoat on. and slouch hat.
Mrs, Gunning recalled Didn't notice
which way my husband went alter dinner.
Was at home when he was brought in. He
was paralysed and couldn't sneak. Got worse
all tbe lime until he died. Klever spoke a
word. The blood was flowing all the time
from his head. He was suffering very much
and I was very happy when be went to
