cross-examined he startled the court
by flatly denying that he had ever

charged with the murder of Game
Wnrdcn A. S. Hubbnnl, in the circuit
court this morning, and the Into of
the Trnil creek trapper will be in the
hands of the jury some time tomorrow
afternoon.
Four witnesses nppenred for tho
prosecution tho last ono IVcaccutor
Kelly himself, who took the stand to
refute intimation by tho attornoy for
the defense that James Vogeli of
Eaglo Point, who told of a thrcnt
ngninst the lifo of Hubbanl Martin
made on n hunting trip, wns unduly
influenced toward tho state, because
of a ense involving the closing of his
tavern through an onlcr of the then
Governor Oswuld West.
Prosecutor oa Siaad
Prosecutor Kelly said, that ho re
ceived a letter from Governor Wwt
saying thnt the W. C. T. 17. of Eagle
Point had cluimed thnt the saloon li
cense under which Vogeli was oper
ating was invalid, and suiwetsted that
he closed the resort. Prosecutor
Kelly testified thnt ho wrote Vogeli
that it had been reported to him that
his lieenso wns invalid. Vogeli se
cured his attorneys, who the state
chief remembered ns Porter J. Ncff
nnd Clarenco Itennics, brother of the
nttorney for the defense, to handle
his affairs, and nu investigation of
the county records disclosed that his
lieenso was valid. Prosecutor Kellv
said that iu his letter ho had ordered
Vogeli to close, but tho order hud
never been obeyed. Attorney Itcsaios
denied that he intimated, ns tho pros-
ecutor charged, that there was col
lusion between the stuto nnd the wit
ness. Vogeli Jleanl Threats
Vogeli testified that ho wns on a
hunting trip with Martin, near the
Chris Natwiek road camp, two veurs
ago, when tho defendant threatened
the lifo of Hubbard for his arrest for
violation of tho fishing laws. Vogeli
said ho asked Martin for his version
of tho affair, having heard several
accounts and Martin gave it with
some feeling. Ho said he told Martin
it wns "not right, but did not justify
him in killing Hubbard."
Three wituesses were called by the
defenso before the noon recess C. E.
Terrill, u Littlo Hutto creek fanner;
S. II. Haruish, a livery stable man of
Eaglo Point, and Walter Woods, a
stockman of tho Ensle Point district,
who admitted that ho had been a wit
ness in several lawsuits of the Eagle
Point district. Tho credibility of nil
was attacked by tho stnto, Woods iu
particular being under heavy fire
upon cross-examination.
TerrlU's Testimony

warden told him that Jio was going to
arrest violators of tiio gatno laws ia
