John G. Goslaw testified -- I am a brother of Charles Goslaw; have been in Los Gatos two weeks and known Grant for a short time. My brother was going to commence Thursday morning to move the Episcopal Church. When he came from San Jose I told him Grant had been there and got the tools. I went with him to Grant's house. I staid outside and my brother went in to see Grant. I heard some words and then I heard a regular racket --"a tumbling down noise." I heard the voices, but couldn't hear the words. I went as quick as I could to stop it. My brother had Grant up slamming him down on the floor in the corner. There were marks on Grant's face then on the right side. I caught hold of my brother as quick as I could. It was in a little kitchen with stove, shelves, etc., about 8x10 feet. I caught Grant by the hand and eased him down, and then I caught hold of Charley with both hands and made him stop. He had Grant by the shoulders and was going to slam him down when I caught him; some sticks and stuff were on the floor. Then we came out and met Hill, the next neighbor, who lives about thirty-two feet from Grant. He told my brother that he was "a living witness" to what he had done, and Charles stopped and quarreled with Hill and I went away, leaving them together. It was about half past seven o'clock. There was a hurt on my brother's hand the next day. He said it came from the knife. My brother wasn't drunk. He was "pretty well shot."
Dr. F. W. Knowles testified -- I got there about 8 o'clock. The man died form injuries that were made apparently with a blunt instrument. [The Doctor then left to make the autopsy an will testify further at the preliminary examination.]
J. H. Hill testified -- About a quarter after seven I went into my cellar to get some wood. I heard some conversation outside and thought I recognized the voices. I stepped outside to the corner to listen when I heard Johnnie Goslaw say something; couldn't tell what it was. Then I heard Charley says, "No, I won't hurt him." Then Charley went up to the door and went in and closed it. After a few seconds I heard something like a stove falling and then I heard thumping on the floor. It sounded like a muffled hammer. Then the brother went in and when he came out I made the remark to him, "I am a living witness to what you have done." Then Charley turned on me and used foul language and John walked off before his brother did. Then I went in and found the old man in that senseless condition, in a pool of blood, and then sent for Constable Reynolds.
John Goslaw recalled -- I do not remember my brother saying "I won't hurt him."
The jury returned a verdict declaring that the deceased came to his death at the hands of Charles Goslaw, an unknown instrument being used. A charge of murder was not made.
Yesterday afternoon Goslaw was removed from the big tank in the County Jail to the small tank allotted to murderers. He refused to make any statement, saying the matter was in the hands of his lawyer.
