say something regarding our presenco
here as attorneys for the defendant. At
t he time my name was suggested I was
out of the city and knew nothing of
what was transpiring here with ref
erence to the selection of counsel for
the defendant. When the circumstances
of my selection were told to me I was
extremely reluctant to accept. But the
duty had been imposed and I consider
ed It my duty, In view of all the cir

Tho presentation of the govern
ment's case began shortly before 3
o'clock when Assistant District At
torney Haller began, with much de
liberation, to address the Jury. He
spoke very briefly.
"Wo shall show," said he, "that, for
some days prior to the shooting this
defendant had premeditated the shoot
ing of the president. He know that on
tho Sept. 6 the president would re
ceive the populaco in me Temple of
Music; that on that day he went to the
exposition, got Into line with the peo
ple and approached the president; that
he had a weapon concealed in his
hand, and as the president extended
his hand In kindly greeting he fired the
fatal shot.
The Fatal Shot.
"He fired two shots, in fact. One of
them took effect in the abdomen and
I caused that mortal wound which re
' suited In the President's death. That,
In brief, Is the story which we shall
show you. Witnesses will tell you this
story, and I am sure that when you
have heard the evidence you will have
no difficulty in reaching a verdict of
murder in the first degree."

followed by Perry A. Bliss, a photogra

the afternoon was taken up with the
testimony of three physicians, two of

i ing his last days, while the other per
i formed the autopsy. The latter, Dr.
' Harvey A. Oaylord, was the first of
the trio to be called. He described the

Dr. Herman Mynter followed, and
his testimony was of Importance, in
asmuch as it brought out the fact that
the reason why the fatal bullet had
not been located at the autopsy was
because of the unwillingness of the
President's relatives to have the body
further mutilated by their Instruments.

Roth surgeons testified that the
primal cause of death was tho gunshot
wound in the stomach. One effect of
this wound was, they said, to cause

morning evinced no interest whatever
in the proceedings, but as the testi
