Thi act of the defendant, Ru.h a-a-rted,
plawd him in iht of on who
receite stolen projM-ily and reipuired
an explanation.
llur.h alo urged that there wa.
enoiiKh aiivpiciou circumtunce to put
th de'Vihlsnt upon Id anawer and
aiymd that an attorney had no privi
lege above an ordinary citigen of the
United State. The whole of the scheme
of securing the land, lturch declared,
recked with fraud, which the defendant
a an attorney miut have had knowl
edge of. Whether the government had a
atrong cne, he commented, was not a
question, but the court should Inquire
only if there are fact tending to eatab
lUli a theory of possible guilt.
Ilawlcy replying, charged the oppos
ing counsel with an entire misapprehen
sion of t lie law. He aald they were
proceeding on the theory that the de
fendant must prove himself Innocent,
rather than the government should
prove him guilty. Every presumption
in the evidence must be in favor of the
defendant. Every act of llorah's to
which the evidence had alluded was
shown to be open end above board and
in pursuance of honesty of purpose
Every tep .taken by the defendant
was the proper action of an attorney
and that his desire was to protect hi
clients, the Barber Land Company, from
securing claims tainted by fraud. At
the conclusion of the argument Judirel
Wliltson announced he would take the
matter under advisement and render hU
decision tomorrow.

Revenge,
BAKER CITY, Or., Oct. l.-One of the
most dastardly crime that ever occurred
in Baker county wa committed in Baker
City last night when ex-Sheriff Harvey
K. Brown was blown up by a bomb as
he entered his gate. The deed was com
mitted about 10:30 p. m., as Mr. Brown

man s about 5 feet 10 inches tall,
weight 163 pounds, wearing , brown
suit and a celluloid collar and smooth
