J '-: The story as told by Sheriff De-
K yiut yesterday morning is to Uv ef
fect that on the night in question,
hen Dr Lee went to the barn to
doctor a sick horse, a man In the hay
called him to aid in dressing cer
tain gunshot wounds in his legs,
which, he said he had received accl
dentally while on a hunting expedi
tion near Ogden with s friend The
nipn told Lee that the friend had
shot him accidentally and that he
had paid but little attention to th'e
wounds He was In a hurry to get
back to Park City, he said, but that
upon reaching Morgan he was db
anlcd and had concluded to stop over
night.
Dr. Lee gave the man assistance
by extracting some of the buckshot
from his legs and d re-slug the
WOnnds so as to stop the bleeding
which he observed had been quite
copious Not being a physician and
not equipped with instruments for
probing for buckshot. Dr Lee said
he could not get all of the buckshot
oat of the man's legs He succeed
ed, however, in extracting a large
shot from the left ankle and some
smaller particles fro:r tb'. ri itg:
The wounded man was given food
by Mr. and Mrs Francis and he was
Invited to a bed In the house tor the
r.ight. He did not accept the cour
, tesy of sleeping in the house, how
ever, saying that he would be com
fortable in the hay. On the follow
lng morning he was offered break
fast but before it was prepared he
disappeared, presumably for Park
City.
It Is said by the officer that Mr.
and Mrs. Francis were approached
bj the wounded man and asked to
be allowed to sleep In the barn before
Dr Lee saw the man. They furnish
ed him with a few blankets, as he
told them that he would rather sleep
In the hay than In the house Ho
also asked them for a bottle of wa
tor, stating thai he was thirsty.
The man with the gunshot in his
ltg8 approached Iee by saying, as
Lre attended to the sick horse, that
he wished he was the horse Lee
nsked him why he preferred to be a
hoise. whereupon the man told him
that be had been accidentally shot
in the legs and that if he were the
horse he would be getting treatment
Then Lee examined bis Iors and
i ressed the woundB, n is not known
lnre the man went the following
morning, as nothing more was seen
of him.
In spite of the fact that Martin
absolutely denied having ever seen
Lee, the veterinary surgeon has de
flared thai the prisoner Is the man
he found in a barn at the home of
Joseph Francis in Morgan on the
evening following the shooting of Ed-w.-.rds.
IJe removed two buckshot
from the wound near Martin's right
ankle, but could not remove the buck
tin t from his left leg because it was
lt: bedded too deep Lee's descrlp
lion of the patients actions and of
, th manner In which he received the
gunshot wounds, convince the officers
, tl at Martin is the man discovered in
tie barn.
Mr. and Mrs Francis have not beeu
conferred with by the officers but
Deputy Sheriff J L. Hobson and De
tectlve Robert Chambers have gone
to Morgan today to hear their story
'they may be brought to Ogdeu for
tic purpose of identifying Martin. It
i- i ndertood by the officers that the
Francis family have Identified Mar
tin by the picture published in the
newspapers, but look upon that lden
tiflcatlon as rather uncertain
When Dr Lee ldentl'led Martin,
Wednesday eenlng, as the man he
had treated In the barn ai Morgan,
the prisoner was in Chief Norton's
olllce surrounded by more than a
oozen men. among whom were rail
road employes and county and city
cfltcers. Lee first viewed the faces
In the room and then went into an
other room followed by the chief and
Sheriff DeVine. He told the officers
thKt he wa quite certain that Mar
tin was the man. hut that he could
tell better were he to see the wound
ed legs. He placed his hand on Mar
tin as the one he dressed the wounds
for and Martin followed him to an
adjoining room where Lee was per
mitted to see the wounds. After
looking at the wounds Irom a short
distance, Lee said thai they looked
very much like the wounds he had
dressed.
The story of Lee's knowledge of
the man In the barn with wounded
legs has been known to the officers
tor a number of day? and the Infor
mation was given to all the newspa
pers Thursday with the understand
inc that it should not be published
until given at the time of the pre
liminary hearing, but the morning pa
pero published It this morning, much
to the annoyance of the sheriff and
chief of police. The Standard could
ha e run the story' yesterday but
would not do so because of the
r.reement with the officers that It
should be withhold. Speaking of the
breach of good faith, the officers to
day stated that they considered It
er unfair as It placed the officers
St a disadvantage in securing evi
dence in the case.
Mrs. McLaren Boyle-Wallln was
called on yesterday to help identify

MOMGRESS
Democratic Senator Introduces
Resolution Authorizing Pres
ident to Issue Formal Call.
VIOLENT RATE CHANGES
.
Would Establish World-Wide
Basis of Parity Between
Gold and Silver.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 13 A pro
posal that the United States call a
conference of the powers to consldei
a world-Wide basis of parity between
gold and sliver was brought up in
the consideration of the adtninistra
tion currency bill today, when Sena
tor Thomas, Democrat, introduced a
resolution proposing that President
Wilson be authorized to invite Eng
land, France and Germany, whose
monetary system is based on the gold
standard, to participate, and that
five delegates be appointed from the
1'nlted States when any two Europe
an nations had accepted the lnita
tion.
A preamble set forth that rates ol
exchange between gold standard conn
tries and the silver nations of South
and Central America flutcuated io
lently, always to the diaadantage ot
the gold standard countries.
Senator Thomas contended that his
resolution called for consideration in
connection with the currency bill.
"The currency problem In any one
country cannot be satisfactorily set
tied without considering currency con
dltlons throughout the world." aaiC
he
Effort for an agreement for an
early vote on the bill met with llttie
success today. Senator Cummins
Republican, continued his criticism ol
the measure.
Senator Root presented amend
ments to eliminate the guarantee of
e'eposits and revise the note issue
section to provide for a graduated
tax on reserve deficiencies In order
to prevent inflation.
I think this bill has many bene
ficial features which ought to be en
acted into law," he said ' It Is un
fortunate that the circumstances un
der which the bills comes before us,
hamper full discussion It is unfor
tu tate that the Democratic caucus
ret on on the measure was not de
layed until the bill had been thresh
ed out in the senate In representing
amendments we labor under the dis
couraging Idea that the bill has been
already passed."
Senator Root pointed out that
there was no limit on the amount of
I new currency which could be Issued
under the bill.
This provision," said he referring
to the note issue section, "is simply
authority for the further increase of
our present greenback "
He ponted out that the government
already has $824,000,000 of demand
obligations, against which it holds
:'' i ,000,000 in gold and silver. He
arpucd that any further Increase of
obligation should be authorized only
cn ample reserve
Predictions of a big expansion of
business that would threaten an over
expansion of credit and currency tin
aer the new law were adopted by
S nator Root.
Elastic Currency.
"We started out to provide an elas
tic currency but this bill provides lor
an expansive currency." said the sen
ator. "It provides for a currency
that may be increased, always in
creased, but there is no provision
compelling its reductions"
hlle the federal reserve board,
Senator Root admitted, had discre
tionary powers to limit the issue of
currency, so far as the proposed new
law Itself Is concerned there was no
specific restraint on the con?tant In
crease in the volume of currency.
'There will be an activity of en
terprise that will absorb the maxi
mum which the reserves of the
: banks will permit " he said, "and' it
I will require the exercise, to the ex
treme, of the authority of the federal
reserve board to hold it in check '
Bill Would Not Check Panics.
Senator Root declared the new
bill so far as specific restraints on
the expansion of the currecc were
concerned, would not help to check
panics.
"I can see in this bill," he aid, "no
eud Interposed by us to the occur
rem e of one of those periods of false
and delusive prosperity that Inevit
able' ends in ruin and suffering "
It has been the history of this and
Other countries, he said, that panics
follow "easy money "
' That was the case in 1H7 in IS","
in 187-1 In and In Iftfi"." he de
clared.
Senator Root's amendment would
tax all notes Issued after the gold re
si rve dropped below Gu per cenl U
would also provide that any new
notes Issued after $900,000,000 had
been put out should pay a special
tax of 1 U Per cent and that after
$1 ?(H, 000,000 note had been issued
a lax of 5 per cent should be Im
posed on further Issues.
This would a"')w the issue or
Kline $120,00.00 more of notes than
nre now outstanding In the national
bank note currency," said Senator
Root, "and under pressure would al
low a further expansion of $300,000.

business needed the currency badly
enough to make profitable the secur
