crnutictcd before Justice H. -A. Johnson;
The .case was very closely - contested
but was concluded shortiy before 5
o'clock wlien Justice Johnson aifsounc

10 o'clock this morning, j . jj'
Cha. l McNary. deputy prosecut

he defendant was represented by Car
tii and Adams. ( . j ..-'...
The case opened with a tilt between
the opposing-counsel. which was pro
l..ned throughout the; examination,
the progress of which was greatly de
terred by the offering and argument of
various objections on technical grounds.
When court had convened. iMcN'ary re
qreMed that the room be cleared of all

of that 'publication was 'back of the

dividual was attributed the institution
of the case. iMcNary denied in positive
ttrnis the imputations that had been
nade: After an extended debate on the
Tt-uwU of McNary" to .have the conrN
room cleared. Justice Johnson rtik-d
thaf. while he was nppose4 to a public

pr,ve that the case 'was one of black

of the -witness. II. AVeleh
was called. "Other witnesses for the

'The testimony offered by the latter

An effort is being made to secure the

.MuUigan. Wm. -Murphy and Edi Kelly,
sent up from Baker coanty in J Febru
ary, 1808. to serve five year sentences
under charge of robtitryv telnj artrttd
with dangerous weapons. Sheriff A.
H. Huntington, Senator Wmi Smith
and Chas. A Hyde, of Baker City, have
written letters favoring their pprdo.t,
and petitions have ieen forwarded to
the, executive office, signed by ten of
the jurors and a long list oi the citizens

The jurors state that a verdict of
guilty, was returned reluctantly and
that, under the evidence submitted in
the case. Such a verdict should not have
been rendered, but. under the court's
instructions, they felt constrained to do
so and. therefore, they recommend that
a full pardon be granted to the defend
ant. The circumstances under which the
crime was committed, a set out by the
petition, show that the defendants were
miners, and at the time the trouble oc
curred were taking a lay-off in the
town of Bourne. It ijnas immediately
after payday, and they fell in with some
crap gamblers and, it seems, the de
fendants lost their moiiey at the game,
in which they claim they were not fair

the gamblers, their grievance was talked
over and they decided to return and
demand their money. The gamblers

ROGERS MELD TO CIRCUIT COtRT
His Rond Was jFixed at $500. in De
fault of Which He Was Remamrqd
to the County Jail.
(From Daily Statesman. May 13") '
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning Jus
tice II. A. Johnson rendered his decis
ion in the case 01 State vs. v. U. Kog-
ers. charged with rape and who was
given a preliminary- examination in
justice court on Thurslay afternoon.
and whicn was taken tiiuler auvisement
until the hour named. Justice Johnson
decided to hold Rogers to the circuit
court m the sum of $500 bomls in de
fault of which the defendant was co.11
mitted to jail.
An irresponsible puolication in tins
city in its report ot the preliminary ex
amination misrepresents the testimony
that was adduced at the trial, but it has
always exhibited a laculty to distort:
iacts ami this" instance would not be nj-
4iced did it not tend to create a wtonji
impression. The lollowing is a portion
of the report alluded to: "It was also
shown on her testimony, (meaning that
of the complaining witness) that alter
the fracas in the photograpn gallery,
theyRogcrs and the girl.) walked up to
Rogers bouse together, and she staye-J
to simper with the family." The f;-e-
gf ing paragraph is incorrect in every
particular. .No such testimony was in
troduced bv the girl or by any of the
other witnesses for the prosecution. A
a matter of fact, the testimony adduced
at the examination showed that the girl
after leaving the photograph gal err
went, unattended, to the home ot Rog
ers Where she remained until about 7:3b
'clock. leaving for her home just en
minutes after Rogers reached his-hont
from the city. The girl did not cat sup
