Queer Scene in Court.
WALLACE, Idaho. Feb. 20. "It Is
the heart that moves the hand. I am
the man that killed Fred Tyler. Turn
all these other fellows loose, for I am
the man that done the deed."
This was the announcement which
startled Judge Wood's court this morn
ing. A small dark stranger with long
black hair and a stubby beard was
standing up beside Steve Adams, pro
claiming himself guilty of the crime
for which Adams is on trial. A com
motion followed.
Mrs. Adams burst into tears. Adams
himself turned pale. Seized by two offi
cers, the stranger was hurried from the
courtroom to the Sheriff's office. There
he said his name was Patrick C. Ryan;
of Butte; that he had just flnished a term
in Deer Lodge Penitentiary.
After being released, he said he had
gone to Burke, where Roosevelt's daugh
ter had told him to come to "Wallace and
take charge, of this case. He said if
Adams was convicted an earthquake
would destroy the Coeur d'Alene. Ryan
will be committed- to the asylum. Adayia
cays he does not know the man.
Tills morning's session of the court was
taken up mainly with reading the testi
mony given by Coroner Keys at the pre
liminary hearing, the attorneys having
asreed to this method, owing to the Cor
oner's illness. His testimony relates
largely to the condition of the body of
Tyler and the surroundings, where it was
found in the woods.
Deny the Body's Identity.
Willie the defense still conceals its pol
icy, signs have led to the prediction that
Adams' attorneys will endeavor to cast
doubt on the identification of Tyler's body,
and will also uphold the theory that Ad
ams was not in the Marble Creek region
at the time this murder occurred. Adams
is beginning to show some signs of the
severe strain, and at times appears wor
ried and uneasy. Mrs. Adams also has
given signs of nervousness as the state
masses its evidence.
The afternoon feature was the evidence
of Detective James McParland. McPar
land testified that he had been manager
of Pfnkertons for the last 12 years and
had been connected with it for the last
forty. He hud never been employed spe
citically against the Western Federation
of Miners, but Instances had arisen where
he had found them to commit crimes. He
denied that he had agreed with Governor
Gooding and Warden Whitney to subject
Adams to live or six days' solitary' con
finement and that flt the end of that
time he would be ready "td 'cough it all
up."
He denied that he administered tt'hat is
known as the "third degree" to Adams.
The third degree means subjection of a
prisoner :.o solitary confinement and then
asking and leading him to confess. He de
nied that he had made any arrangements
by which Adams and Orchard should be
locked up together and that he called
from time to time to see what progress
Orchard was making towards getting
Adams to corroborate the confession
Got Ills Victim Mellow.
He admitted that he went to see Adams
February 26. with a view to getting him
to confess. He also admitted that he took
him into the inner room of the warden's
office, and gave him a cigar and told him
that ho was his friend, and admitted tell
ing Adams his own past history. He ad
mitted a lengthy dissertation to Adams on
his duty toward society, his wife, family
and daughter. McParland admitted tell
ing him that he was the man who
busted up" the Molly Maguires in Penn
sylvania and admitted repeatedly that he
told Adams that the "state always acted
fair with those that acted fair by it."
The witness admitted that a nice lunch
had been served to both and that in the
afternoon he had "got the patient mellow
and ripe," and had made him believe that
it would be better to tell all.
He referred to the Western Federation
as criminals and said that Adams seemed
to agree with him. He denied that threats
had been used or inducements held out
to Adams and described the whole trans
action as a "business proposition."
The examination was conducted in a
theatrical manner by K. F. Richardson,
nnd the court-house was packed to the
coors. .
Confirms Former Witness.
C. S. Thiele confirmed the testimony of
McParland with regard to times, places
and datct. Thiele denied that shortly
after Adams' arrest he told Adam? that
"all you have to do is to go to Boise
and do w.iat those fellows want, and you
will be all right," and denied that he told
Mrs. Adams that they did not shackle
Steve because they did not want to make
him mad at them, and wanted to make a
good impression.
He admitted that there were eeverfli1
Ktatements made by Steve Adams relat
ing to different matters. and all were got
at the same time.

OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 20. (Special.)
Sam H. Nichols, Secretary of State, and
B. B. Bryan. Superintendent of Public In
struction, who, together with State Land
Commissioner Rosa, form the State Board
of Land Commissioners, testiiied before
the Ross investigating committee today
that they acted in only a perfunctory
manner, so far as the state's lands were
concerned. They admitted that they were
at the mercy of the Land Commissioner
and his cruisers; 'that they merely looked
over the reports and voted about as the
Iand Commissioner directed.
In response to queries on their policy
in disposing of the land, Nichols said that
he favored rapid sales. He thought fu
ture generations could take care of them
selves. Bryan was for conserving the
lands.
B. T. Allen, United States Forest Re

Many a man has asked me, "How
can this advertiser expect to get his
money back?" "How Can It Pay?"
Arid still they keep on taking them. First Jap-a-Lac, then Pond's Extract Soap, then Diamond
Dyes, then Jap-a-Lac again, thenW. B. Corset, the big, standard, well-recognized and successful business houses.
And now ALABASTINE pays eighteen thousand dollars for a single advertisement, four pages, printed in full
colors. Look for it in the current Delineator now on the news-stands.
FIRST The big ad stands more than a cluince of attention. It
commands attention its magnitude proves that it's worth reading impresses
it forever on the memory. If the advertiser spreads the same money over
many small advertisements in many small magazines, he would simply be "one
of the crowd." And he would not make half or even a third the impression.
SECOND Retailers KNOW the bigger power and surer results of these
big advertisements. You don't have to explain or argue the matter with them.
They have had experience, and they know it already. This fact alone adds
immensely to the results of your advertising.
Look for this advertisement and read it carefully. If you are a business

service the largest, the strongest, and the most efficient, single power for business

Alabastine Your Walls
And Combine Healthfulness With Beauty
"J"HE pleasing decoration of the walls of your home will do more to beautify it, in the
eyes of your family and your friends, than any other one thing.
Alabastine is the only material that can be used for wall decoration to produce
dainty, artistic -and harmonious effects, that are both durable and sanitary.
Alab astine differs from kalsomine, in that Alabastine becomes a permanent part of the
wall once it is applied. You can re-decorate in any desired tint, without removing the
last coat of Alabastine. This can be done with only one wall decorating material and

are permanent, too. You
need re-decorate only when you desire a change of tint
and then another tint can be applied right over the first,
or the second, or the tenth, and the wall is all the better
for it.
Alabastine is manufactured under U. S. Letters Patent,
and is sold under a guarantee to be absolutely pure and
free from every harmful ingredient.
Alabastine is sold in five-pound, carefully sealed and properly labeled packages
By dealers everywhere in drugs, paints, hardware and general merchandise, at 66c
the package for tints and 50c for white.
Ask for Alabastine and get Alabastine. An imitation is never as good as the original, no
