Continued from Page 5. only incapacitate him for a few days. Adjournment was then made until 7.30, when Benton was placed in the witness box. {c said his home was in St. Louis, Mo., but that he was employed at the Oakland Hotel Resort, St. Clair, Mich" as second bar-tender. Came to the Falls on August 20th with Nettleton for two weeks vacation. Boarded at M rs. Ink- pin '15, paid for board for one week in ad- vance. Paid Mr. Glaspell for boat two days in advance. Nettleton bought a ".250. knife on Saturday to use on their fishing expedition. Bought awshotgun and ammunition to shoot ducks. On M on- day night met two girls at Inkpin's, where they came for ice cream, and they decided to go for a walk and we passed Nichols and Barry. We then changed our position to the other sidewalk and Nichols and Barry passed us again. The girls then excused themselves to speak with another girl, and we went about 50 feet and stood waiting until their con- versation would be finished. Barry and Nichols passed again, Barry nudging me with his shoulder and saying “Why thehâ€" don't you give us half the side- walk.” When they had gone about 20 feet, Nettleton said, “ If .you think you can put us off, come back and try it." Nichols and and Barry rather rushed at us. I stepped off to avoid Barry, met him with my left hand and struck him on the face. The next instant he grip- ped me with both his arms about my neck and bore me to the ground. It seemed about one minute I was trying to free myself, and then Barry suddenly loosen- both his arms cxclaiming that some one had hit him on the head. Nichols said “I know you boys and we will get you for this.” That was the close of the light. To Mr. Devlin witness said that nothing was said about a revolver that he heard. He said he was 17 years old in November and was not a match for Barry according to his hold. Nettlcton had the knife from late in the afternoon on Saturday until Monday evening. Went to lnkpin‘s and around by the bridge to avoid the crowd. Nettlcton dropped the knife but had found it again. Nettleâ€" ton said “ I think I had to cut that. fol- low,” meaning Nichols. They then went down to the canal for a couple of min- utes. He did not see Nettleton wash blood off his hands. Constable arrested them when they were going to bed. Percy Nettleton, who was then called to the witness stand, gave his age as 15 years. 110 said he worked at St. Clair, Mic-.l1., at the Oakland resort, with his friend, William Benton. He lived at Fenelon Falls with his mother and step- father between two and three years ago. His evidence was about the same as Benton's up to the commencement of the fight. He said he took the knife from his pocket while Nichols was chok- ing him and opened it by putting his arms around Nichols until they met be- hind his back. Nichols' left arm was hurting him and he raised the knife to cut his left shoulder and make him re- lease his hold. Was just in time to save himself beirg choked. Nichols released his hold. l‘enied meeting Nichols with the knife. Must have struck him more than once, but. only intended to stick him in the h it shoulder. Seeing Benton on his knees with his head almost on the ground. and Barry kneeling over him with his arn-s around his neck, he went and struck Barry one stroke with the knife. Thorght he struck Barry on the .shoulder to make him let go. Did not say anythii g about revolver. To Mr. Devlin he said. he did not see any blood on the knife. There was blood on his hands and l e washed them. He said he certainly would not have shot had he carried a 1‘( vol vcr. This finished the evidence in the case. Mr. iilcl)iarmid then pleaded for the pris- oner, pointing out what he considered 1 weak spots in the evidence against him, and speaking of the nature of the provo- l cation he had received. He thought the llocal boys had received no more than they deserved, and if a club had been - used on them it would have served them right. . Mr. Moore, however. spoke strongly against the prison r, saying that in the Way in which he gave his evidence there was a coldness which did not im- press him favorably at all. There was no excuse for using the knife on Barry in such a cold-blooded way. The people ; of this C(untry are not going to stand 5 for such ronsense. There were several 'things N(i}tlei)011 could' have done in- : stead of using the knife. He would find him guilty 'of the charge laid against him, but would defer sentence for a few days i to considcr what his punishment should ' he.
