The witness described the firing of the first shot and told of his attempts to find a place of safety. He said he was wounded in the hand as he attempted to climb into a life boat. He remained on the starboard side of the starboard life boat until the Verona had backed out into the bay. Then just as he was starting to raise up a rifle bullet struck his leg, taking a course thru the limb and emerging at the knee. "That is on your left--?" "On my left, yes, which I ain't got; I lost it!" said the witness. "Did I understand you to say you stood up to see something before you were shot?" asked Veitch. "Why, sure!" replied Golden contemptuously. "I had my two legs then." Veitch wished to learn the exact location of the witness at the time he was shot and to that end referred to the model with the remark: "Look here. Here is the boat as it was at the dock." "I don't like to look at it!" said Golden heatedly. "I lost my leg on that boat!" [Illustration: EVERETT from the water. To the left G. N. Depot from where bystanders viewed battle.] The witness was in evident pain during the examination, having just had a hospital treatment applied to his raw stump, and was rather irritable as a consequence. He answered several questions rather sharply and proceeded to explain his answers. At one of these interruptions Judge Ronald exclaimed to the witness angrily: "When he asks you a question answer yes or no! If you want to live in this country try and live like an American!" "I take an exception to Your Honor's remarks!" said Moore emphatically. The judge grudgingly allowed an exception to his uncalled for statement. In concluding his examination Veitch asked the witness: "What is your name in Polish?" "I am not Polish; I am a Jew," replied Golden. "Well, what is your family name in Poland?" asked the prosecutor. "Goldenhaul, or something like that. Now I call myself Golden. When we come to this country--." "Never mind," interposed Veitch hurriedly. "When we come to this country for good luck we always change the name, you know," finished Golden, and added bitterly, "I sure did have good luck!" This ended the case in chief for the defense, the marshalling of such a mass of testimony from a host of disinterested witnesses, men, women and children, putting it on an entirely different footing from the prejudiced testimony brought forward by the prosecution.
