One of the men escaped and informed a switchman of the hold: "up, The switchman found Constantine and told him a hold-up was in progress. As Constantine walked toward the car he was waylaid and shot.

The men who robbed the railway car escaped. ing to render a contemplated under- taking less hazardous than other- wise it might seem." In the witness stand in his own defense, David Moon told of the shooting of Clayton McWilliams and John MeGie, with whose murder he is chidrged. Moon told of his "strained rela- tions" with McWilliams, whom he accused of keeping company with his wife. "I went into the drug store and up to the wrapping counter," Moon testified. "McWilliams hurried down from the dispensary and said 'It's you, is it' and dropped his hands. 1 thcught he had a gun. I put my hand in my pocket and felt the gun that had been there since Borg; leveled it and it went off. "Then Jack MecGie rushed at me. We struggled, my elbow struck something, and the gun went off again." "Did yon know whether McCie was shot from your gun?" asked counsel. "Well, he fell down, 1 was kind of dazed." "Did you have anything against McGie?" "Nothing whatevdr, | scarcely knew him." Justice Kelly directed the jury be taken to the jury room while evi- dence as to Moon's war service was being put in. Defense, directly the jury retired, explained to the judge that the defense would take the line that the prisoner's mental condition influenced his actions on the night of the shooting and that his mental condition was due to war service.

Justice Kelly asked prisoner to pass him the automatic. "Would you not be conscious of the weight of this in your overcoat pocket?" asked his lordship balane- ing the weapon in his hand. "Not necessarily, sir, I was ac- customed to carrying a lot of silver in my pocket," Moon replied. "When you walked over to the drug store you had no intention of killing McWilliams?" "No, I would have done it long before, had 'I thought that way about it." "You just went over to discuss your family affairs with him?"
