Articles Introduced in Trial
of Steve Maslich at
Salt Lake
SALT LAKE, May 15. A broken
shoostring -which was attached to a
frayed piece of suspender was Intro
duced as evidence against Stave Mas
llch, -who Is being tried for the mur
mj der of Marco Lauss in Judge Harold
T M. Stephen's division of the Third dls-
W. E. Schoppo, chief deputy sheriff,
testified he found the broken suspen
der by the body of Lauss -when the
crime was discovered at the mouth or
Parley's canyon August 3, 1919. The
prosecution contends the shoostring
vas attached to a watch which the
murderers stole.
Tho -watch, which was taken from
Maslich when he was arrested In
Butte, Mont., promises tQ be the
t . state's most important exhibit, accord-
1 ing to the prosecution. Evidence for
L two days ha3 been largely concerned
- with when It was purchased. Mas-
'. llch, according to the opening state-
4 nient of Baldwin Robertson, prose-
jj cutor, told local officers he had car-
: J rled the watch for years. Paul H.
1 Hay, formerly assistant county attor-
- ney, testified that Maslich told him
: j he had carried the watch two and one-
half years. John McEnnery. who was
1 brought to Salt Lake from Elgin, HI.,
1 5 stated the watch left tho factory at
which he is employed after March 12,
? "Vv 1918.
-icEe Marco Bolich, who stated he had
t fr lived with the murdered man at Tellu
' j ride, Colo., examined the watch on the
J stand yesterday, but was unable to
state whether it had belonged to
h Lauss. He said Lauss had a watch
l of the same size and make.
; Testimony at e beginning of the
trial by W, E. Winney that he saw
one of three men in a scuffle at the
( mouth of Parley's canyon hit a sec-
' ond man in the face was recalled yes
' V terday, wjien L. L. Larson, police offi
cer at Butte, Mont., testified Maslich's
hand was bruised when he was arrest
:;' ed at Butte.
Larson averred Maslich told two
.x. stories of how he got tho bruise, the
first being that he had been in a
? fight and the second that he had fall
en downstairs in a Salt Lake Lotel,
but had spread the story he had been
a fight so gamblers .in Butte would I
think he was a "bad man."
' The letter in tlje possession of the
stale, which was admittedly written
by Stove Maslich to Alary Massura, an
important state witness, has been
translated .from the Austrian, but not
. introduced as evidence. The letter
ipAvas delivered by a mysterious woman
"of dark complexion" after the trial
vas begun. .

Tells Cost of Steam
Plant for Copper Co.
SALT LAKE, May 15 A steam
power plant to develop 40,000 kilo
watts, as planned by the Utah Copper
company engineers, is adequate and
will cost about ?3,SO0,000, according to
testimony given yesterday by L. B.
Stlllwell of Stillwell & Putnum, con
sulting engineers of Now York, before
the public utilities commission. The
evidence given in connection with Uie
application of the Utah Power & Light
company for an increase in rates on
its power system.
Esetimatlng Utah coal to bo deliv
ered at the plant at $3 a ton and to
havo a heating quality of 13,000 British
thermal units, Mr. Stlllwell said that
the total operating cost of the plant
to produce the load required, 37,960 kil
owatts maximum, with an average
load of 3S.373 kilowatts, would be
$823,791 a year. Adding capital costs
for interest, depreciation and the like,
tho resulting cost of the power to the
Utah Copper company would 4.1 mills
per kilowatt hour.
This gives the annual load factor of
85 per cent. Tho evidence was intro
duced to controvert that of the power
company, given earlier In the hearing,
which was to the effect that a power
.plant on Utah lake, at 45,000 kilowatt
capacity and under a 75 per cent load
factor, would deliver power to the ter
minal station at Salt Lake at a cost of
10.63 mills per kilowatt hour. Should
the annual load factor fail to 50 per
cent, the cost per kilowatt hour would
run to to 13.S5 per cent, according
to the power company's estimates.
