Special to the Scranton Tribune, Tuiikhaniiui'k, April 11. When court was called this nioi'tiliitrAbram ldeatculii tnk the stand and the Uefeime resumed the cross-exHmlmitlon. Vor two hours or more the witness underwent a terri ble buttering In thu effort to breuk down his testimony. It was a trylntr ordeal und the witness was worried and nervuuse. Though, in Borne uuliitpor tant details he crossed himself, he stood up to the main facts aud the uu dletice were Inclined to believe that he was telllnK the truth. A. W. Keldman recalled: I was down to Stevens' Tuesday uiornltiK nd saw a lot of people out in front examining something In the road. 1 said to Kred Wall. "Fred, what's the excitement?" He said, "Oh, a lot of fools are out examining where Sherm's horse bled." He had on a pair of dirty over alls. The next day he had on a pair of new ones or at least I thuught they were new they were clean. Theodore Streeter recalled The dirt In the wound on Waterman's temple was dark loam, not coal ushes or cin ders. It was not deeply Imbedded ill the wound as It would likely have been If driven In by a fall from some height. It washed out easily. In one end was gravel about the size of a pea. I had to open the wound to get that out. E. li. Phlnney I was at the Wyom ing House about 10 o'clock on the night of Jan. 8. 1S1I4. Staid about Ave min utes. William Waterman and Wescott were there. Westcott started out to look for U. W. Waterman, while I was there, and had not returned when I left. Fred Wall and another fellow came. In while I was there and asked for Tom. They went out again. The lamp In front of Stevens' was out when I went home. Nina Tells llcr Story. Nina Shook I worked at the Stevens house in January. 1SS4. Uert Pratt, Alva Prtt and Air. Buchanan wero stopping there during court. Fred Wall was about the hotel on the night of the Sth. I noticed him and Pratt going out and In several times. Next day they were all there. I was sweeping In the dining room and hall, next the bar room. They came In between 10 and 11, and I heard them say "If they search us they won't find anything, not even a Jackknlfe." He came in several days after, when Mr. Stevens had discharged him, and wanted some dinner. I gave It to him. While eating he said some thing about their suspecting him of the murder. I said, "If you know any thing about It, why don't you tell?" He said "I don't want to hang myself." He further said "If they hang me I won't hang alone. I'll turn state's evi dence, and some of these fellows will have to hang with me." Up to the time that Fred left I noticed no change in his clothing, didn't see any blood upon him. I told Mrs. Stevens about hearing them say what they did about the Jackknife soon after It occurred, while we were getting dinner. Did not tell It to anybody else except my moth er. About a week after that I was out. in the back yard and the boy called m to the barn door, when I saw Fred's knife on the barn floor behind a post. The boy was sweeping the floor and uncovered It. I took it. knew It was I-red's knife, and carried It Into the house. Mrs. S. J. Keating I know Fred Wall. He frequently came to our house. He came there one evening about two months after the killing. Asked for matches and I gave him a handful. He had two or three pints of whisky. Said he had $17 In his pocket and staid at a certain house In town and lost it. I 'tried to get out of him where he staid, but he wouldn't tell. I said, "Fred, where did you get so much money? I hope you didn't have any thing to do with that murder." He said, "Well, not exactly, but 1 know more about It than I ought to.' He said at another time that Nina Shook knew more about the affair than she ought to. Iff) aald he would get even with her yet. -Along In April he came to the house with Steve. They had both been drinking, but Fred was fuller than what Steve was. Fred put his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands and seemed to go to sleep. When supper was ready Steve told him to come to supper. I said "Yes, Kred, you're welcome to such as It Is," He roused up and said "Walt till I wash the blood off my hands." Afternoon Session. The attempt to show by Dr. Denlson, on the part of the commonwealth, that the fatal wound on Waterman's head might have been produced by a coupling pin, such as Mr. Ide described, was ob jected to by tho defense and the objec tion sustained. 8. 3. Keating I saw Fred Wall on thi morning of Jan. 9, 18M, In front of the Stevens house. I asked him what made the blood tin the ground and he said the old mare hud calked herself when she stood there. Henry Mack told rne next day to look and see what was there. 1 saw some hulr cow hair or horse hair, I don't know which. Looked us If It had been punched down Into the blood with a ntlrk. Afterward I was down In Tom Harding's with him for a glass of beer, and when we came out I said to him, "Fred, It seems to be public opliv Ion that you had something to do with the murder, and If I was yoO and hadn't done It, I'd tell who It was." He said, "I'd be a fool to hang myself. you, you'd like to see me hung, wouldn't you?" I said, "No Fred;'! haven't nothln' agin you." . '1 Dr. E. H. Hill The wound on. the temple of Waterman would not neoes sarlly cause Instant -death. A' person receiving such a wound would be In stantly unconscious and unable to change his position, In my opinion. The wound could not,. In my . opinion, have been produced 'by a coupling pin such as Mr, Ide described. Dr. D. W, Sturdevant concurred In Dr. Hill's opinion In the main points. W.
