SON 3S CALLED. Waldo Hauenstein, son of the murder victim told of his father’s whereabouts the day of the murder as he knew them. “I went up town that evening at 6:30. When I left, father was still reading the news paper. I watched the parade and then got a wireless instrument 1 Was interested in and took it home.” The witness identified the pack etbook as the one belonging to his father. He said two or three years ago he found a box of cartridges in a bureau drawer at home and that he thought they were 32-caliber. He said he knew of no weapon that his father ever had. “After father came back from New York he was jovial up until Wednesday or Thursday before the shooting. Then there was a change in his manner and he stood fre quently looking out of a window in the parlor, as if he was studying. When father spoke of publishing the story about the real estate company I told him the company might sue him for libel and I thought he hadn't ought to do it He said Mr. Riddle told him that if there was any libel attached to the articles, the newspppers would have to stand for it.” Warren Hilliard said he last saw Hauenstein alive when he ordered feed at Butler's store, where he is employed, about 2:30 in the after noon. He coroborated Butler’s testimony regarding the money Hauenstein was carrying. Charles Evans, former engineer at the water works pump station, testified he had known Hauenstein intimately for 10 years. He said he talked to him several days after the account of his trip to New York had appeared in the newspapers. This was on High street. He called to me and said he had a little ad venture in New York and wanted to talk to me about it, so we went up to his office. SEES TWO MEN. Walter J.
