JUDGE WOOD ASKS
IE TO DECIDE
Will Give Decision Monday on
Motion for Change of Venue
in Moyer-Haywood Trial.
TRY CASE ABOUT MAY 1
Defense Asserts People of Canyon
. County Prejudiced Against Pris
oner and That Impartial Jury
Cannot Be Secured There.
BOISE, Idaho, March 21. At Caldwell
today tba argument of the motion for a
change of venue in the Moyer-Haywood
rase was brousht to a. close by E. F.
Richardson, Judge Wood announcing that
he wished to consult authorities and
would not be able to render his decision
until Monday. Perhaps the strongest
point made' by the defense was that upon
which the Judge asked for authorities.
This was that a motion for a change
of venue could at any time be renewed
by the defense; that if the present mo
tion was overruled and circumstances
later made it obvious to the court that
a change of venue should be taken,
then the motion could be renewed and
granted.
"We contend, your honor,' said Mr.
Tlawley, "that a fair and impartial .jury
can le secured in Canyon County. If,
when the time comes to impanel the
Jury, it develops that a Jury cannot be
secured of men not prejudiced, then your
honor can signify a willingness to en
tertain another motion of this nature and
grant it."
In his address Mr. Richardson, for the
defense, said: "The prosecution, your
honor, sets up a claim that if these de
fendants cannot secure a fair trial here
they are up against it just as bad in any
other' county in this part of Idaho. I
am willing to state that it may be true
that a fair trial, may never be held for
these men, but if there is a county where
the defendants would have a better
chance for a fair trial than in Canyon
County they should be given the benefit
of a change of venue to that county.
"What reason is there that this case
should be retained in Canyon County
w hen at least 600 people have affirmed
that there exists a general prejudice
against them here?
"The law of this land is made just as
much for these men as for any man in
the land not convicted of crime. Society
has no right to malign these men, to
abuse them. Society has only the right
to regain their bodies until a full deter
mination of the truth of the charges
against them can be had. It was a wise
provision of the law that a motion of
this character should be allowed."
Judge Wood asked whether, if the case
were transferred to another county, the
defense would claim the right to change,
then ask for another removal.
Richardson said:
"If the change is made to another coun
ty, I want to say that we shall expect
to go on and try the cases there, at the
same time I will say that we shall take
pains as ,we have here to ascertain what
conditions exist in the county to which
you m,y pee lit to move the cases.".
12. X. Richardson, for the defense,
closed the arguments. He consumed 3 1-2
hours in presenting' hia side of the case.
Mr. Richardson devoted a great deal of
time to the newspaper clippings which
had been read as part of the motion for
a change of venue. He held that the
publication tended to prejudice the people
of the county against the defendants and
that the wide circulation of the papers
among them made it impossible for the
defense to have a trial before a jury
drawn there. This was no ordinary mur
der case, he said, and it should not be
treattd as such.
Governor Steunenhcrg was the leading
man of that county and his murder cre
ated great excitement. Everybody knew
him and all were interested in him and
his killing was the subject of discussion
constantly for months. That tended to
prejudice the public mind. He said It
might be true that there was no county
where there was no prejudice, but if
there were one where there was less
than in Canyon, they wanted the benefit
of a trial in it. He stated they would
be willing to have the case removed to
Washington or any other county.
It was informally agreed that the case
should be set for trial about May 1, as
should suit the court.

Pat Manning Pays Dearly for
Insulting Policeman.
LOGGER TAUGHT LESSON
Jack Phillips Appears In Police
Court With Headache and Gets
Fresh Air and Exercise
at RocVpile.
Pat Manning was surprised wnen he
was fined $15 in the Municipal Court
yesterday morning for being drunk and
disorderly. His chief offense was in ap
plying disrespectful epithets to Patrolman
Humphreys when the officer passed him
on Burnside street Wednesday night.
Manning is a giant in stature, and witl
a supply of North End whisky under his
belt, felt even larger. Combined with
his ideas of his prowess was an ugly
feeling toward policemen in general.
Manning had been down from the woods
several days "tanking up," as they say
In the district where loggers make their
rendezvous. The presence of the officer
made him angry and every time Humph
reys came in sight Manning would begin
to swear.
Wednesday night the officer decided to
put a stop to Manning's talk, and or
dered Manning to move on and keep
quiet. Manning refused to obey and
clinched with the policeman. The latter
soon freed himself from the powerful
grasp, whipped out his revolver and
literally drove his prisoner to Second and
Oak streets, where he was delivered into
the care of Jailer Bndicott.
The case was heard by Judge Cameron
yesterday, and he decided that Mr. Man
ning should contribute $15 for his con
duct. "Such a headache!" exclaimed Jack
Phillips, when he was brought Into Po
lice Court yesterday. He held his head
with one hand and the lines in his face
depicted his agony.
Phillips was arrested during the night
for having morphine in his possession.
"What is the matter with you?" asked
Judge Cameron.
"I'm not feeling well." replied Phillips.
"What ails you?" asked the Judge.
"I think I need 'rush air," replied Phil
lips. "I haven't had any since I was
locked up."
After hearing what the arresting officer
had to say. Judge Cameron decided the
case.
"I agree with you." said the Judge to
Phillips, "that you need freh air. -It is

ORDINANCE SIGNED
I Blue Stamp Will Show Here
Z after Whether Law Has
Been Complied With.
The meat inspection ordi
nance, passed by the City
Council last Monday, . was
signed by Mayor Moore yester
day afternoon. The ordinance
will become a law Tuesday.
The ordinance, which was
drawn up by the Hoard of
Health and the health and sani
tation committee of the City
Council, is modeled after the
requirements of the United
States Government in its in
spection of meat.
As soon as the law goes into
effect every pound of meal
sold in Seattle must be inspect
ed. Whatever meat comes from
outside the state is inspected
by the United States Govern
ment, All meat slaughtered in
Seattle and to be used for home
consumption will be inspected
by the city.
The local inspectors will
stamp all meat inspected with
blue indelible ink. The stamp
will be similar to that of the
United States Government.
Penalties of fine and imprison
ment are provided for any per
son who sells meat that has not
been inspected.
AU cattle slaughtered here
will be subjected to an ante
mortem and post-mortem ex-,
amination. Cattle belonging
to fanners of the vicinity and
destined ' for consumption in
Seattle are to be slaughtered at
Frye & Bruhn's abattoir. The
charges for killing are fixed by
the ordinance. .

AT FIRST AND ALDER STREETS
ON THE CORNER
(From Collier's, March 16.)
EDUCATING
BUTCHERS TO THE
INSPECTION. irj
At Montgomery, Alabama,
where an admirable system of
inspection is maintained, the
health officer says that When
the question of abolishing the
numerous butcher - pens and
dirty slaughter-houses first
came up, and it was proposed
to substitute a modern abattoir,
a storm of protest arose. The
butchers declared that their
occupations would be gone,
their business ruined. The need
for reform, however, was
preached; inspection both be
fore and after killing was
shown to be necessary. The
city passed an ordinance abol-,
ishing butchering - pens within
police jurisdiction. Reform,
once forced upon the butchers,
became as popular among them
as among the other classes of
citizens. What Montgomery
has done Alabama can induce
other cities within her border
to do.
Education of the. farmers
who kill only a few animals
proceeds more slowly than the
training of the butchers.. As a
matter of fact, it should be
more . rapid. More than two
per cent of the cattle in Maine
are affected by tuberculosis,
though that state has had for
years a most efficient cattle
commission. This percentage
v is, therefore, as low as it is
likely to be in any of the set
tled states. Not one-tenth of
one per cent of the cattle killed
by local butchers in Maine are
condemned for tubercular in
fection. The result is, of
course, that the people of
Maine eat infected meat.
Tuberculosis, already the
plague of America, is spread
and fostered by the apathy of
the states in regard to meat-inspection
laws. .
