Mabel Normand’s Former Chauffeur
Must Face Jury
LOS ANGELES, April 4—Horace A
Greer, former chauffeur for Mabel
Normand, film actress, was held to
answer on a charge of attempt to mur
der after a preliminary hearing on
charges growing out of the shooting
New Year’s night of Courtland S.
Dines, wealthy Denver oil operator.
Dines on the stand showed a mem
ory considerably improved over that
which characterizes his previous ex
amination, but his “I don’t know” was
just as strongly in evidence when he
was questioned about the actual shoot
ing that broke up his New Year party.j
He admitted to Justice J. Walter
Hanby that he was drunk at the time
—able to walk, but not able to walk
straight.
Edna Purviancc, film actress, and a
member of the party at Dines’ apart
ment, where the oil operator said she
had spent the entire raw, again was
called to the stand. She reiterated her
previous testimony that she was in the
bathroom when the shooting occurred.
Mabel Normand another film actress
present at the party, was absent from
the hearing.
Dr. Raymond G. Taylor, x-ray spec
ialist, who took the stand at the hear
ing, testified that his negatives show
ed two “shadows” indicating that
Dines had been shot in the left shoul
der and the right breast.
The total of purported bullet wounds
on Dines’ body was brought to three
a few moments later when Dr. Guy
Cochran, his physician, told of an addi
tional one where a portion of Dines’
ear had eben shot off, apparently by a
bullet.
Dines identified a blood stained un
dershirt as similar to the one he had
on when shot, this over strenuous pro
test of the defense.
He told of the afternon and evening
party in his apartment attended by
Misses Normand and Purviance and
continued:
Greer came about 6:30 o’clock. He
knocked at the door. I asked who was
there. He replied Joe Kelley (the name
by which Greer was known in the Nor
mand menage.) I kept Greer waiting
a little while and then opened the door.
Greer walked by me to the davenport
on which Miss Normand was sitting, j
! Miss Purviance was in the bedroom or
the bathroom .
“Greer wanted Miss Normand to go
home. They talked a moment. I
moved over alongside of Greer; I did
; not like his tone of voice and she had
not expressed herself on his urgings
that she go home.”
“Then what happened?” asked the
assistant district attorney.
“I don't know,” came the familiar
reply.
“Do you know who shot you?”
“No.”
“Did Miss Normand shoot you?” he
was asked and the defense sprang to
its feet with a volley of objections that
Miss Normand was not on trial. The
objections were sustained.
“Did Miss Purviance shoot you?”
was the next query.
“Was she not in another room?”
“I believe she was,’ Dines replied.
; The oil operator did not remember
I whether he had attempted to hit Greer
i but he was certain that he had not
I shot himself.
1 To the court who had asked why he
was unable to rememebr, Dines said
that he had been “out all the night be
fore,” the shooting and had been drink
ing all that day.
He could not remember whether he
I had worn his bath robe which was
brought into court. There was no bul
let holes in the robe. There were two
in the undershirt previously exhibited.
The regular dance given by the I.
O. O. F. lodge will be held Saturday
night. Good music, the public in
vited.

ANDREW LINDQUIST HURT
WHILE ENCAGED LOADING
HORSES ON S. S. STARR
Andrew Linquist, a member of the
Alaska Hills Mines Corporation party
which left on the Starr last night
with machinery for the company’s
property at Nuka Eay, was seriously |
injured while loading horses on the j
boat, one of the animals rearing and
Striking him in the head with the |
calks on its front feet.
Linquist was engaged in holding a
horse in the loading chute, and had, j
it is alleged, neglected to tie the ani- j
mat’s head down. As he stood in j
front of the animal’s head it reared
and struck him in the head with its j
forefeet, the calks penetrating quite j
deeply. Linquist is resting easy to- j
day under care of I)r. Baughman at 1
the Overland Hotel, but is very weak ,
from loss of blood.
Bystanders say it was a miracle his |
kull was not fractured.
