EVIDENCE SHOWS TRIO
: r TO BE BAD ACTORS
' Evidence recently acquired by police
led to arrest this morning of James Mil
ler, one of the three men accused of
-vbeatlng 1 and robbing Benardotte Ma-
cnele, an Italian uwoirr wu ".wujii
a tent near the Blavin road, three weeks
f go. Miller, T. J. McQlynn and J J.
Crawford were arrested the day follow
ing the commission of the crime and
charged with the offense. Although the
evidence against them whs not wholly
" convincing, Judge Cameron held them
to await ,the action of the grand Jury.
Bonds were fixed at 1600 for each of
the men. Mcuiynn ana Miner sucuoear
d In getting bondamen and were re
leased, but Crawford is still In Jail in
default of the necessary ball. ;
Crawford' has since 'been subjected
to the sweating process and lias tola
enough of his connection with the othar
two meri to convince the- police - that
they, are dangerous criminals who have
been responsible. for other crimes than
the one with which they stand charged.
, The chief of police of Vancouver han
. also come forward with 4acta to ahow
that the three men have been associated
together for a long tUne and have fol
lowed the grading camps where Italian
workmen are employed for many
" months. Robberies in these camps have
ben of frequent occurrence, the victims-being
in every instance ignorant
' Italians who had hoarded their wages
and kept the cash about their persona.
The police have been prosecuting a
earoh for Miller for several days, but
without success.. This morning he
walked, into the police court for aome
purpose known only to himself. He
wa espied by Judge Cameron who or
dered 'his arrest. He was captured as
lie was leaving the building by Police
man -Nelson. Judge Cameron made nu
order fixing hla ball at $1,000. In de
fault of this amount Miller was locked
up and wlU again be Bent to the county
jail unless he can secure honusmen.

cauiie the trial of the Hall land fencing

and Kdwln r. Mays standing sldo by
side as the only defendants In the caae.

ary, A. C J5aehory, Cliarles A. Watson,

were all cut out of the present trial by
Mr. Heney thin morning, who snld the
government was willing to accede to
the request of Hall and Mays for a
separate trial.
Oasa Zs Mysterious.
Back of the action of Mr. Heney Is
a world of mystery, upon which he re
fuses to cast any light. He derides the
idea that any of the defendants have
made arranttamenta to testify against
Hall and Mays, but at the same time it
is evident that there Is aome distention
In the ranks of the defense.
John H. Hall, the central figure 1
the trial, does not know Stelwer or
Hendricks by slKht and there Is a
sharp line of divergence between the
lines of defense as it stands from the
viewpoint of Hell and Mays and that
of the other defendants. Hall was dis
trict attorney at tho time the alleged
crime was supposed to have taken place.
Mays was his deputy.
The other defendants were either land
holders and stockmen of Wheeler coun
ty, the scene of the action, or were gov
ernment employes supposed to have
been in the conspiracy. Therefore, it is
apparent that Hall's line of defense
could well be different from that of the
other defendants.
Neither Heney . nor the defense will
state the condition of the tangle but it
is believed that btelwer, Hendricks and
perhaps some of the other defendants
will plead guilty to the charge of fenc
ing government . land, though they will
deny that they entered into a cons,
piracy. If they do take this action, it is
believed they 'will take the stand as
government witnesses in the hope that
an immunity bath will be prepared for
them by the government.
Mr. Han and his associates lean to
this theory, but say they are not afraid
of any evidence which their former co
defendants can give.
Kail XClmaelf Threatens rroseontlon. .
"I am perfectly willing for any of
the men to tell all they know of the
transactions or conditions surrounding
the actions back of this indictment,"
aid Mr. Hall this morning, ."ffhey do
not know anything damaging to ma
Tou can say for me, . however," contin-
uea tne enter ngure in tne aeienae,
"that if any one goes upon the stand
in this case and gives any evidence that
is perjured or in any way untrue I will
prosecute him to the full limit of the
law."
Mr. Heney. on the other hand, is non
committal. "I do not know anything
about the Immunity rumor," he said.
You will hava to go anK tne renow
that started the atory in the first place.
I never said it."
"What does this severance mean,
then?" he was asked.
"Why." he replied, "they asked for
it, and I like to give the defense what
they ask for if it is possible."
It Is not believed that V. P. Mays,
who pleaded not guilty to the Indict
ment this morning, will he tried under
the charge if It should come up later

It was after 11 o'clock before the so.
lection of the Jury began, all of the
time prior to that having been tkun
up In the consideration of the Mays
plan In abatement and the other motions
entered by the defense. The pleas were
overruled bv Judge Hunt and after th
plea of F. P. Mays hud been made and
entered Mr. Heney sprang his surprise
by stating his willingness to proceed
with the trial of Hall nnd Mays, elim
inating the remainder of the defendanta
from the case.
H. 6. Wilson, attorney for E. P.
Mays, filed a demurrer to the Indict
ment objecting to the Instrument on
several ground. He argued that It
did not set out sufficient facts to con
stitute a crime, that the charges were
not clearly set forth, that a man had
been used In showing the lands in
volved Instead of a description, and that
It was Impossible to discover from the
Indictment what crime had in reality
been charged.
inis aemurrer was rverruiea oj
Judge Hunt and the selection of the
jury began. Almost immediately the
first fireworks were set off. Judge
Hunt asked the defendants to come
forward and plead to the Indictment.
"Why." said Mr. Wilson, "the de
fendants pleaded years ago. I do not
know but what the statute of limita
tions has run against their plea by this
time." Everybody smiled and Mr.
Heney took up the examination of Al
fred Freerksen, the first Juror. He was
satisfied and passed him.
Tilt number One.
"I suppose," said Mr. Wilson, "that
Mr. Heney understands that his passing
the juror means hla acceptance by the
prosecution?"
"No," said Heney, "I don't under
stand anything of the kind."
VWell," responded Wilson, "that Is
the way he did it before."
"Did I do that?" said Heney, begin
ning to look interested.
"Yea." said Wilson, "that Is the state
practice."
"Is It?" said Heney, "I did not know
that." .
'"Well, I supposed you had come up
here to start a kindergarten to teach
us how to select Juries," retorted Wil
son. "I am not going to start any kinder
garten to teach you. You are not
qualified to get in," smiled back Mr.
Heney. "You are not old enough to
enter a kindergarten." Then things
settled down and proceeded without s
hitch. Judge Webster taking up the
examination of the Jurors for the defense.

ator Carter's -letter was read on the
subject of the attitude of the general
government towards the western states
as forest lands and grazing. This had
never been treated ns a party question,
he said, and hence he did not hesitate
to criticise the administration's policy.
The president had been unconsciously
led into erroneous views and conclu
sions. He strongly condemned the pres
ent system of leasing, which was creat
ing the vicious features of landlordism
under the United States government
Settlers should be protected from the
herding of ulieep adjacent to their home
steads, hut the wool growers themselves
could remedy this.
Senator Heyburn in hla letter said
the trouble lay in the conflict of the
federal land policy with the land laws
of the United States. He declared in
favor of free and open ranges.
