Tho prosecution opened tho caso
and David L. Lake was sworn. Ho
said he lived in Mt. Pleasant. He
said that ho and a party of
friends had gone to Rock Lake Aug.
1 to enjoy tho peacefulness and
quiet of tho lake and among other
things to fish and go boat-rldlng.
They wero thero for two weeks' tlmo
having secured tho rental of a houso
near tho lako and two boats for that
length of time. On August 2 the
four defendants came to their camp
and proceeded to take the boats. He
stated that ho had rented the boats
of Hugh McGranaghan who was tho
owner. Mr. Lako stated that Mr.
Ackerman and another man came up
to tho houso whoro ho was and told
him that ho (Ackerman) had rent
ed tho boats and had como to use
them on Mr. McGranaghan's order.
Lako declares that ho offered Acker
man one of the boats but he refused
to take ono of them but wanted both.
During this tlmo McCann and Burr,
two othors of Ackerman's party wont
down to tho shoro where tho boats
wore tied. Lako wont down and told
thorn not to take both boats, but that
thoy could havo ono. Lako then got
In ono of tho boats and McCann fol
lowed him, pushing past him to
tho roar end where ho ordered Lako
out, using strong language and
ho did not heed him
doubling up 'his fist. Lako said
whereupon ho was shoved out into
the water. Ho got back Into tho
boat and was again thrown put. Mc
Cann told hi in to stay out and in
attempting to got back in a third
tlmo, Burr who was standing on tho
bank, grabbed Lako by the should
ers nnd throw him Into somo bushes
near the bank. Thoy both then got
Into tho boat and bogan to shove off
with tho oar. Lake grabbed the boat
with his fingers and ho declares Mc
Cnnn kicked thorn until ho was
obliged to lot looso. All this tlmo ho
declares that McCann was very much
I excited and angry. Ho stated that
Ji'st boforo this occurence tho party
I consisting of hlmsolf, John Brain,
' Charles Bonham, Harry Moarso and
throo others were proparing for
, breakfast and It was between 7 and
8 o'clock In tho morning, When
Ackerman came to tho caran with his
, friend ho looked up at the house and
' said, "You aro not going in that
hnnpo are vou?" "Wo are going In
thero." Tho attorney for dofonso
ohlccted to this and it was overruled.
When asked what occurred botwoen
him nnd Ackerman concerning houso
and boats, Lako replied, "Ackerman
said, 'McGranaghan sent mo down to
get the boats, whero aro theyT I
says, "They aro down In tho water."
I says, "Did McGranaghan sond you'
down horo to got thorn?" Ackorman
then replied with "Ho did." "I told
him 1 did not bellovo it" nnd ho then
snys, "What do you mean?" "I
moan, says I, that I don't bellovo
McOrannghan would rent us tho
boats and thon turn around and rent
them to you nnd sond you down aftor
thorn. I am willing to dlvldo up
with yotn" "Ackorman than says
"McCann go and arrest tho wholo
bunch." Ackorman thon says, i
'Don't you know I am going to take
both boats nnd you with thorn?" Ho
then told ngnln tho occurrenco in
tho bonts as heretofore described by
him.
On being cross-examined by C. P.
Soarlo ho admitted that Ackorman
enme up to him about 8 o'clock on
tho day of tho occurrance. like a
gentloman nnd denied calling him a
llnr when ho said McGranaghan rent-1
od him tho boats for tho day. Ho
also admitted that Ackerman offered
to take them to McGranaghnn In his
uuiumuunu io prove nis siatomom
and offered to pay $100 If Mc
Grnnnghan had not rented thorn tho
boats. 'He also stated that ho got
In tho boat first nnd that McCann got
in and walked paBt him to tho roar
end where he stood up.
John Brain wa3 sworn. Ho stated
that ho lived In Pleasant Mount and
that he was ono of the party with
David Lako at Rock Lako on Aug.
2. He corroborated most of Lnko's
testimony of the affair but he said
ho saw McCann and David Lako
grapple in the center of tho boat.
Ho states that ho saw McCann push
David Lnko out of the boat and
when Lake attempted to get In again
ho shoved his fist in his face and 1
threatened to hit Lako If he got In j
the boat again. He stated that Lako
got In again and was pushed out two
more times, tho latter tlmo by Burr,
when Lake got In and stepped on
Burr's foot. His testimony was not
shaken by cross-examination.
Charles Bonham was sworn. His
testimony, too, was about tho same
as the others as he was a member
of the party on Aug. 2. On cross
examination ho admitted hearing
Lake say, when he had been thrown
from the boat, "Thats Just what I
wanted you to do." Ho stated that
the distance between the two boats
was about G feet and that at the
time of tho alleged trouble he was
engaged in taking out the poles and
fishing tackle, from one of tho boats.
He also testified to Lake's shirt being
torn.
Ralph Benson was the next witness
sworn. He said ho was in Rock Lako
on August 2 and had heard and saw
tlm oppnnrnnen in tho linntn TTo wna
in another camp across the lake. He '
saw Lako shoved out of the boat but
couldn't state who it was that did .
it.
'Hugh McGranaghan, proprietor of
the camp and two boats, next testl-1
fled that he had leased tho camp and
one boat to Lako and said they could
uso the other when It was not other
wise engaged by other parties. On
cross-examination he said ho had
leased the boats to Lako alone and
not to tho whole party with him. He
denied making an agreement with
McCann a week previous for the use
of tho boats on that day. Ho ad
mitted meeting the Carbondale men
on tho road when they were going
to tho lake and talked to them and
admitted telling them to go right in
and uso the boats. He said that if
the boats were out on the lake, to
call them in. He also admitted on
cross-examination .that he had pre
viously told David Lake of tho ex-
pected coming of the Carbondalo
men and Lake had said "Send them
right in when they come." When
pressed for an answer as to why ho
let the Carbondale party in when ho
knew David Lako was using tho
boats, he said that he thought they
would divide up the boats. When
asked by Mr. McCarty If a certain
Mr. Rellly had telephoned him tho
day before, ho answered "Yes," and
told him to come right up. The Com-i
monwealth rested.
Lake was recalled by the defense
and questioned by Attorney C. P. ,
Searle.
"You testified that you had made
all the arrangements?"
"I did. I made arrangements for
mvsolf and narty."

stated that ho lived In Carbondalo
and was a morchant thoro and wa3
ono of a party of four to tako a
plcasuro trip to Rock Lako on Aug.
2. Ho stated that arrangements for
tho uso of tho boats had been made
with McGranaghan tho day boforo.
While In Pleasant Mount on their
way to Rock Lako thoy met Rollly
who stated that tho arrangements
had boon made and everything was
alright. On tho rond they met Mc
Granaghan who told thora to go In
and uso tho boats, If they wero out
on tho lako to call them In. They
went In nnd Ackerman went up to
David Lako and told him they had
como to uso tho boats. Ho explained
In a curteou8 and gentlemanly way
that ho would dlvldo up tho boats
with David Lako and his party. Lake
refused absolutely to let him have
either of tho boats. Ackorman then
called him over to whoro the boats
wore and going thoro ho (McCann)
got Into a boat and was followed by
David Lako, who camo down to the
shore, waving his arms and shouting.
Ho got Into the boat and camo to
wards McCann, tho latter camo to
wards tho center of tho boat where
they met. McCann testified that he
told David Lako to get out and let
them have the boat. Ho rofused
whereupon .McCann said, he walked
towards Lake, the latter backing up
as he approached and ho finally step
ped out of tho boat In the water. Ho
later testified that he heard Acker
man offer to pay $100 to David Lako
If McGranaghan had not rented the
boats to them and offered to tako
David Lake and his party thoro to
prove his statement. Lake refused
to go and said. "Go to h ." He
did not contradict his story on cross
examination. Ho stated that all tho
rest of Lake's party acted like gen
tlemen. He said that after Lako
stepped out of the boat ho told him
to stay out if he didn't want to get
hurt. He admitted kicking at Lake's
fingers on the side of tho boat but
only as a bluff.
C. E. Burr sworn. Stated he lived
in Carbondalo and was a member of
the party at Rock Lake on Aug. 2.
Ho corroborated most of tho testi
mony of tho other members of the
party. He substantiated McCann's
statement that he (McCann) got in
the boat first and sat on rear seat
farthest from tho shore and that
David Lake came running down to
wards them, yelling and very much
excited. He got In the boat and
came towards McCann. The latter
got up and they met lnthe center of
tho boat with a seat between them.
They grabbed each other and Mc
Cann said, "Davy, I don't want to
have any trouble as I can't 'afford
to." McCann was treating tho mat
ter as a joko and was laughing all
the time he was talking to David
Lake. He told Lake to get out and
Lake stepped out tearing his shirt
In so doing. When Lako attempted
to got back In tho boat McCann
doubled up his fist and ordered Davy
to stay out. They shoved off the
bank and Davy then went to the oth
er boat and tried to get in. In so do
ing ho stepped on my toes and I shov
ed him out. David Lake then waived
his arms and said, "That's Just what
I wanted you to do." Burr stated
