Weaver, Bonita, stockman.
The case Wednesday morning devel
oped into a battle . between the prose
cution and the defense - over the signed
statement of confession.
ST ATE M EST IS READ
Howard told two stories in the con
fession, one contradicting the -other.
District Attorney Lytle testified he
first saw the statement on December
10, when .it was delivered to him by
the driver of the ; stage between .On
iario and Vale, by prearrangement with
District Attorney i Swagler, who had
calied him up, Lytic said, and told him
the statement would be sent by mail if
finished in time, otherwise by messen
ger. Lytle testified he took tbe state
ment to the "sheriffs office, where he
found Deputy Sheriff Schnur, Thomas
Jones and Lloyd Miches. They all went
into the main office at the Jail, where
the statement was read to the defendant
and his signature secured.
Thomas Jones, Lloyd Riches and Joe
Boyer were in turn called to identify
the statement and substantiate the testi
mony of Lytle and Schnur. Over the
objection of the defense that K was im
material, the signed confession of How
ard was introduced as evidence and read
to the court by Lytle.
ADMITS CAlTSIJfO DEATH
While admitting that Howard caused
the death of Sweeney, Attorney J. W.
McCulloch stated in his opening argu
ment for the defense that Howard was
23 years of age ; that he was born and
raised in Malheur county, at Jordan
Valley, and that this, is the first time
I he has ever been accused of a crinrfe.;
that before 21 years of age Howard went
to war. and on his return weat to work
in .Malheur county.
The defense will base its case upon evi
dence that Howard was negotiating with
Sweeney for the purchase of one of the
latter's cars, and in the negotiating made
some untrue statements about his ability
to pay for the car. The evidence would
show, the defense claimed, that - while
Howard and Sweeney were driving
about on the morning of September 14,
Sweeney found out Howard was misrep
resenting about his ability to pay and
upbraided him. caused an altercation re
sulting in bolws leading to Sweeney's
death.
