The Wheeling Case. ¶ The trial of Wayne O. Wheeling for the murder of William Tweedy at Maynard on July 2d, was resumed yesterday morning before Judge Cheney. Only seven witnesses were examined, for the purpose of impeaching the testimony of Lewis W. George as to his statements about the affair made immediately after the shooting. The first witness, W. A. Wright, stated that the blacksmith, in relating the circumstances of the shooting a few hours after it occurred, told him that Tweedy made use of an oath when he got up and asked Wheeling why he killed his bull. Dr. L. C. Maynard and Peter Morris made similar statements, the former having called at the shop two hours after the murder, and the latter not until four days later. ¶ James Heffner, who lived seven miles from Maynard was there on July 2nd and talked to George about the homicide in the evening a few hours after Tweedy's death. He also corroborated the testimony of the other witnesses regarding the statement made by George about Tweedy's using an oath. He had another conversation with the blacksmith on August 16th, when the latter gave a slightly different account of the affair. W. H. Wicks and Joseph Johnson made substantially the same statements. Fred Seavey and E. B. Turpin testified to the same facts as the previous witnesses. At 2:30 o'clock the court adjourned until 10 a. m. to-morrow.
