Sioux Citt, Ia, Not. 2ti- The defense renewed the taking oï testtmony in the Arensdorf case yesterday morning. Tweuty witnesses are to be examined tending to impeach the State witnesses oud to establish an alibi. Mtr Harriet Srnltb, who kept the Lone 8tar restaurant, testitied that Mr& JosephBon left the milk can at her place at 6:30 p. m. and that the ice chest was locked thaL night She was corroborated by her son and his wife. Her son's name is Potter. He admitted having had trouble with the Josephsons over a milk bilL B. B. Wrazee 6wore that Mra. Josephson told him that "Bipniarck" did the shooting. Mis. Josephson was recalled by the defense for further examination. She proved damaginj; to that side because she three times amrmed that Arensdorf Ured the shot. Sioux City, Ia,, Nov. 28. - Paul Leader and Harry ÍSherman, saloon-keepers, who were jointly indicted with Arensdorf for the Haddock murdei, were on the witnessstand Saturday. Sherman denied that. he was present at tha scène of the murder, and asserted th;it Arensdorf was at his (.Sherman's) saloon when the news of the murder reached there. Leader, whose wife is a full cousin to Arensdorf, told the same remarkable story he tescitied to on the flrst trial. The story in short is that he and a man by the name of Hart were in Junk's saloon when a man carne to the door and said that thé buggy had got back; that a crowd oí aloon-keepers, nona of whom he, recognizf'd exoept Leavitt, then went ont and up Fourth treet; that he and Hart fol lowed about thirty feet in the rear, passing at the corner of Water street the crowd, which had stopped there; that as they passé d Leavitt, a comparativo itranger, reached over and changed hats with him; that he and Hart never stopped their pace, and when had got 100 teet fcouth on Water street they heard a shot, and, turning, they saw Haddock reeling to the giiter, and a man near him starting to run away north ; that there was no ona else in the street, and that, thereupon, he nd Hart ran off to his hotW ind never told any one until after his arrt.-t Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 29.- The Arensdorf trial dragged slowly yesterday morning, only six witnesses being exainined. Adolph Neppei testified that in buving Mis. Bismarek's house John Arensdorf had merely cted as his agent, he (Xepper) not being on gooi terms with the Bismarck'a Willïam Hiles 6wore to tb e good character of Arensdorf, and to the bad character of Leavitt. Lee Longworihy, a new wltness, formerly the night clerk of the 180H House, on Third street, swore that on the niplit of the murder, shortly aftei the shot was fired, Paul Leader and another man carne around the corner of Water and Third streete, and went east past the MadlBon toward the Mi wüu'c e house. This supports Leader's evueoe and contradicts Bismarck's. J. E. : r ; '.erick, now a St Paul saloon keeper, testified to seeing Leader and Hart going into the English K tch n together on tb nlght of ihe murder, as slated by them when on the stand t e 'ore. Alderman, Grady testiüed that he has no r c illection of seeing Kobson in Jnnk's saloon on the nlght of the niurdir and does not think 1 e was there. This is very material evidencr, and breaks the force of Robson'a testimony to the effect that he w; e In the saloon, talkud to Scholiurd in the presence of Grady, and on going out saw ArenFdirf go west with the crowd. Grady and Scholard deny having seen Robson, as alleged. Juhl, the Dane, said it waa not Arensdorf.but íbavitt.who flred the shot tioüx City, I?., Nov. 30.- All the evk dence in the Arensdorf trial yesterday tended to establish an alibi Robert Buchanan, a boy, swore that Arensdorf was not in the crowd that went west frorq Jnnk's saloon, but that Leavitt was. Lewls Hagenois said he and Arensdorf were ■haking dice for the drinks in a restaurant when the shooting ocuired. His testimony waR substantiated by Carson. Fii z Folgi r, never before on the stand in this caïe, the man charged by lii.smarck with having bought him a ticket to Ban Frtncisco and given bim $95 of Arensdorf's money, denied under oath all these transactions. Bylvester Cranda, whom Bismarck allegei was his compatriot, then took the stand. He denied in the main Bismarck's story, ye% acknowledged that overtures had been made 1o him to whip Haddock. He claimed tq have refused to do the job and that he waa at home when the murder occurred.
