Tbecourt room wu well filled yestcrday^afternoon, the occasion being the heaxtDK^of the motion for a new trial in the Bryaon^caae. ^ A. UlaJiet, Brvaon'a atU rney,^m%,W a strong argument in favor of his^rliett. raising pointaof law and submitting^the affidavit which was mentioned yester^^day. Mr. Wallace followed in an able^argument, after which Judge blake t.vrr-^ruled the motion ;or a new trial. The deci^^sion is in substance as follows:
Ihav ifiv^-n this case a great deal of at^^tention, in ket-piug with its characu r and^magnitude. As already stated by me, I^h^v carefully examined the U-atiuiouy.^and am reasonably iamiliar with ail tM^point- winch have bfi-n raised by counsel.^I havr- considered the caae without any^bias or prejudice, and have read th^- evi^^dence with the view to sati-f y mysell as to^^',--it.i-r or not this defendant had b^*en^properly found guilty by the jury by^whom he was tried.
Tliegrounds upon which this motion are^prt-di'-at^d arv, first. In r-ference to tlie^empani-ling of what are IfrinM prejulicial^jurors. our statutes make the preMiimg^ju-tice the trier ot jurors to aact-rtam^whether or not Un*y have bias or preju^d re, and in the exercise of that preroga^^tive certain limitaiions have been pre^^scribed fef the statute. 11 has been truly^remarked by counsel that our statute is^perhaps nothing more nor less than .4 leit-^eration of the common law as incorporate!)^in the statute tin the matter of this pnju^dice ot jurors. In the case ot Con.mon^wealth agsmst \Veb^ter, 5th Cuslung, 2i^^^Chief Justice .shaw said iu substanc-mat^ttie materisi inquiries enut^-niplatt-d hy the^-'n'.ute. as applicable to this case, were,^whether the juror had formed|or expressed^hii Batatas, or was sensible of any bias or^prejudice in regard thereto. The word^prejudice seemed to imply nearly the same^thing as opinion: a prejudgment of the^case, ami not necessarily an enmity or ill-^will agaiust either party, 'the stat^^ute intended to exclude any per^^son who had made up his mind,^or formed a judgment in advance,^in favor of either aide. Yet, the opinion^or judment must tie something more than a^vague impression, formed from casual^couversat oris with others, or from^reading nnt^ rtect, abbreviated tiewsp-tpt-r^rep ri- It must be such an opinion upon^the merits of the question as would be^hkelj to bias or prevent a candid judgment^upon a full hearing of the evident e. It one^had formed what in some sen e Uiii.ill be^called an opinion, but which yet fell short^of ail iHH any bias or prejudice he might
cieutiously discharge his duty ss a
juror.Wear, we have a statute under^w.',:r!i win n a juror testifies that he i. is an^^ ^pinion or an impression that is tornied^from reading newspapers, or from public^rumor, that then upon lu^|niry had by the^court, ami the judge being satisfied tlat he^can render a verdict according to the law^and the evidence, he becomes a competent^juror. Jurors frequently say tha, they^nave an opinion when they do not really^mean what they say, and when in reality^they have none such, and the judge who^presides t the trial thereupon procei-ds to^satisfy ataaself as to their competency, to^determine the question as to whether they^have a piej idice or not. and from the rvi-^deuce nad mis case lam satisfied that the^jurors under our statute wi re competent,^it does riot appear that the court in so^many words asked whether they could
rendera verdict a^rdmg to the law and
theevidence; but when a juror is sworn to^try the issues involved lie is sworn to ren^^der a verdict according to the evidence.^Those jurors who Limed th' ir opinions^from nailing newspapers ready li ul no^opinions that the court regarded as such:^and as the judge truly remarked.it would^be ntedless to ask them whether it would^require any evidence to remove such im^^pressions so obtained, as it would neces^^sarily require some testimony to a-t so.^That being so, it does not show lh.it the^juror was incompetent under our statute,^when such a juror states that he couiu^reader a verdict according to the evidence.^As to the constitutionality ot the statute^under consideration. 1 will not pass upon^that, except to state that 1 have no do 11it of^its being constitutional, as 1 have had oc^^casion fo investigate the question very^carefully. And even if there was some^question aNiut it, 1 should not, sitting as a^jndge of this court, declare a slatu'e un^^constitutional winch had been in loice in^thia territory a great many years, ami^which bail been accepted by the courts^without apparently any question.
1notice in one ol these motions or no^^tices ot intention to move tor a new ti, 1^that one of tbe grounds alleged is ti at no^venue had been prov. u. Inasmuch as this^case will goto the appellate court, I ^fcjaartj^to say that the hading of the li sly ot Mrs.^Lundstmm in tins shaft, descnoed by tne^witnesses, would in the absence of any^other evidence, afford a presumption tor the^court to decide that the woman was killed^la that particular spot. And the court^would also consider the circuinslaiic s un^^der which the body was found. The fact^that her hands had been tied while si e was^yet alive, the bruises upon her person, and^that she could not have come tbere of tier^own volition, that there must have been^tome outsi lc agency to place her in t: e^I ind tuin she was when found, afford suffi^^cient grounds for supposing that she came j^to fu r death there, and l^r Morris has t. .^-^tiried that tins shaft is in Eewis and Claike^county, Montana territory. In my judg^^ment, theu, the venue has been properlv^established by the testimony.
Now,in reference to thia newly discov-^crep testimony, counsel has referred to tbe^theory upon which this caae was present^^ed to the Jury. It is a well-known fact !^that counsel in addressing a jury will pre^^sent the facta of tbe case as they view^them, and their deductions therefrom, and^it often happens that counsel will give^wrong reasons, and draw from the evi^^dence erroneous conclusions in presenting^the caae to the jury. In the case of the^Commonwealth against Webster, to w inch^1 have already adverted, it is a singular^fact that there the defendant was a . used^of having perpetrated the alleged homicide^In four different ways, one with a hammer,^one with a knife, one by either pou iding^or beating, and the fourth was by some^means or other to the grand jurors un^^known. Counsel addressed trieiuselves to^the jury on those different tluones. and^yet when the facts were ultimately known^it transpired that the death of George^Parkman was not caused in any of the^ways suggested or dwelt upon by the coun^^sel in their arguments to the jury. In like^manner, the mere fact that counsel may^have advanced theories in this case, would^have nothing to do in determining wbnther^or not the party is guilty. This newly dis^^covered evidence, in my judgment, does^not explain at ail the views or the opinion^which 1 entertain regarding the case^Dixon testifies as the reasons why he made^an investigation of that shaft, that he saw^the foot prints of a woman within a short^distance of tbe mouth of the shaft, that he^thought th^ appearance of the shaft indi^^cated that some person had been recently^down there from the removal of dust, and^that a pole which was in the shaft looked^as if it had been recently touched by some^person. These are the reasons which be^gives for having made the investigation.^These, however, are not at all material in^this case, only in so far as the ultimate fact^la concerned, to-wit: that he descended^the shaft and discovered the body of the^deceased; and that these foot prints n.ay^have been made by some ot those parties^referred to in the depositions containing^the newly discovered evidence does not af^^fect the fact that the body of Mrs. Lund^atrom was found in the shaft. In this con^^nection 1 will state that the strongest fact*^and the most damaging circumstances^proven in tbe trial are not at all^affected by this newly discovered^evidence. The facts which satisfy me of^the guilt of the defendant are that he was^living with this woman, holding illicit re^^lations with her. bad made threats against^her. not only here but in the state from^which they came, had several quarrels and^misunderstandings with her. and was tbe^last person, so far as the testimony shows,^that was seen with her when she was alive,^and I refer now to the afternoon of the day^of her disappearance. This woman un^^doubtedly left that house expecting to re^^turn to it: about that there can be no ques^^tion of doubt. She had paid a mouth's^rent in advance, and never had communi^^cated to anybody her intention of going^away. She never did return, and this de^^fendant told parties who had asked about^her that she bad gone to Butte. He ad^^mitted upon the witness stand that he falsi^^fy d when he stated that he saw her in^Butte eight or ten days afterward. The^next morning after the homicide is sup^^posed to have taken place this defendant^was up two or three hours earlier than^usual, in the room which theretofore bad^been occupied by them, packing up articles^belonging to ber. and packing them in^trunks which were subsequently sent to^Butte- Then he had in his possession not^only ber effect*, but he bad certain jewelry,^Dortions of which appear to have been^wrenched In a most viol, nt manner from^another portion of jewelry that was upon^the person of this woman when ber body-^was found. Now, supposing that ^^jawly dasuavejod evidence should
thetact that there was some strange-look^^ing person, acting in a suspicious manner,^in the vicinity of this shaft at different^times, or that the footprints were made by^other persons than tbe deceased, that does^not affect what I consider the strong facts^of this case. True, it la a case of circum^^stantial evidence, but I am unable to see^wherein the links that constitute the chain^are in any way broken or affected by this'^newly discovered evidence.
Asto the defendant's right to have this^motion passed upon by the Mai court. I^agree with counsel, that is better that in a^caae of this magnitude, the judge who pre^^sided at tbe trial should pass upon the mo^^wn for a new trial. This was a privilege^which the defendant could have enjoyed in^this case, if he deemed it important. It^was a matter well known to counsel for^defendaut that Judge McConnell had re^^signed, and was soon to be succeeded on^the tiet.cn; but sufficient time had inter^^vened between the trial of this case and^the retirement of Judge McConnell to have^afforded ample opportunity to prepare a^statement and have this motion passed^upon by him, so that there was nothing to^prevent Ukta defendant from having this^motion heard before the judge who tried^th^ case. In reference to this case in Wis^^consin, to which counsel for defendant re^^fers, it clearly appears in the first place^that there they have a statute governing^mot.una for new trials in civil ca^es which^requires that the judge who tried the case^In the court below should pass upon the^tuotii in for a new trial, and the court says^that the same reasons should apply on a^motion made in a criminal cas-. We bitve^no statute of that kind here, and as I have^already stated, there was nothing to pre^^vent the defendant from having the judge^who aat on the case below act on tbls mo^^tion. There is another feature, and that 1*^this: It is true that the judge who sits at^the trial of the case can judge of the credi^^bility of the witnesaes.and form his opinion^from their appearance and simitar circum^^stances: but in this case no question of that^kind arises. In the motion for a new trial^tin-re is no question raised as to the credi^^bility of the witnesses, or tbe nature of^their testimony, and therefore one of the^strongest reasons why the judge who pre^^sided at the trial should pass upon the^motion for a new trial does not^exist in this case. The evidence has been^preserved by the stenographer, which^brings about a different state of facts in^relation to the preparation of a statement^of the evidence to that where reliance is^tiad to the minutes of the court, and when^tt.e motion for a new trial came before a^judge who had not presided at the trial, it^would necessarily follow that he was In no^position to review the evidence which had^been adduced at the trial, unless counsel^agreed thereto.
.So,upon a calm review of all the facts^of this case, with all the light that 1 have^iiecn able to give it, 1 regretfully come to^ti e conclusion that this defendant has been^justly convicted by the Jury who aat in his^case, and that he has had a fair and impar^^tial trial. The motion, therefore, for a^new trial will be overruled.

Thereis every Indication that the cele^^bration of the Fourth of July in Helena^will be a grand success. Prominent cltl-^zene are taking hold of the affair, and tbe^result is that already quite a number of^features of more than ordinary interest^have been attempted, and in addition it ha*^been suggested that there be a night pa^^rade, the military and civic organizations^participating, while It Is not impossible^that there may be a torch light procession^In which members of tbe campaign clubs^of last fall will take part as one body. The^torches and uniforms of those^clubs are still available, and with^a very little drilling the ^boys^ could^make a very good appearauce^^for this time only,^ a* tbe play-bills say.^Tbe various trades will also take advan^^tage of tbe opportunity to make an exhibi^^tion of their strength. The railroad em^^ployes will probably turn out in force with^floats, and other industries will be well rep^^resented. Business houses will have an^opportunity of vying with each other to s- e^which shall make tbe best display iu tbe^line of decorations either on floats or in^their store windows. Tbe proposition has^been made that the pioneers be invited to^take a distinctive part in the celebration,^which will mark the second step in the ad^^vance of Montana from the territorial con^^dition to statehood. The races will be on^that week, and that will furnish an addi^^tional and powerful incentive to visitors to^come to Helena Tbe celebration can^easily be made worth a journey of many-^miles to see, and it is the intention of the^promoters to do all that can be done in that^behalf.

THE STAR MINE.
LatestReport* from the California Mine^owned by Montanian*.^Henry Klein and Albert Klensichmidt^are home from a visit to the star mine, in^Fresno county. California J. M. Sbopp, of^Missoula, who accompanied them, is in San^Francisco seeing tbe sight*. Mr. Klein^said when reached the mine about ten days^ago there was three feet of snow on tbe^ground. The new Holloway tramway and^100-ton concentrator had just been tested in^motion, but a breakdown occurred necessi^^tating the stoppage of operations. The^machinery being all new there are always^mishaps in getting it regulated and they^had to send to San Francisco to replace the^broken portion of the tramway. It was^expected to have the machinery running^again in a week. The tramway is a mile^and a half long and cost S2U.0U0. The con^^centrator cost about SfiO.OOO. Mr. Klein^says the place through which tbe tramway^runs is one of the most p'c-^tureeque sights be ever saw;^about midway the tram runs over a moun^^tain and dowu a steep grade to the concen^^trator. It is entirely hid from view by the^thick timber. To build it. It was necessary^to hew down trees the entire distance. At^the mine the ground had to be cleared ot^trees to permit of the erection of buildings.
Relative to the condition of the mine, Mr.^Klein said it was looking excellent and the^ore improving, its average value per ton^now being 20 ounces in silver and about 20^per cent. lead. No machinery is used at^the mine, which is not a mine; it is a quartz^quarry. An immense cut has been made^ui the mountain, the ore showing^a sixty-foot face. Mr. Klein said there ts^more ore in sight than the people of this^generation will live to see exhausted. The^Montana men who have put up all the^money have been working about one year,^and will soon be reward^d in the way of^dividends for their energy. Mr. Klein re^^ceived a telegram yesterday stating that^the first shipment of concentrates, three^cars, had been sent to the Silby Smelting^works at Oakland. One car per day will^be the regular shipment hereafter, or until^the concentrating capacity is increased.

rrankle Howard, a variety actress, ha*^figured in many escapades in the north^^west, principally in Butte City. Portland^and Spokane Falls, and now in Helena^She will be recalled as having been con-^tiec-tt d with the shooting of a man ui Spo^^kane Falls in January by bis wife,^^Broncho Liz.^ Frankle at that time was^in a variety theatre, and ^Broncho Liz's^^husband paid more attention to tbe actress^than he did to her. and the woman, in a fit^of jealousy, shot her husband, whom she^found, as alleged, in Frankie's room. Last^Minday n'ght, at the St. Louis hotel, a^woman at mpted to cut her throat with a^razor. A I .mdsome young mixologist of a^Maiu street saloon took Frankie out to^the springs Sunday for a drive. The^young man's mistress had noticed a cool^^ness on the part of her lover, but would^not believe that he looked upon some other^woman with more favor than he had shown^to her of late, notwithstanding she had^been told of it- It happened, however,^that on Sunday she noticed her lover out^riding with Frankie and followed the pair^to ttie springs, where she created quite a^scene, .-she rt-turned to town and went to^tier room, but told tbe hack man to wait for^her as she would return in a few minutes.^About five minutes later the hackman^heard loud screams coming from some one^in distress, and he hurriedly tied his team^and sought a policeman, telling him to^hurry up as somebody was killing a wo^^man. The officer was at the woman's^room in a short time and met the bar^^keeper in the hallway who was afraid to^enter tbe room from which the cries^cume. The screaming woman was his^mistress. The policeman entered^and attempted to pacify her, threatening^her with arrest. After a time he succeed^^ed, when the girl said: ^1 am tired of this^miserable existence, and 1 might as well^end it right nere.^ She went to a drawer,^which she had some difficulty in opening,^and|the officer, supposing she was looking^tor poison, stood close by to prevent any^rash act. After she opened the drawer she^pulled out a razor and in a twinkling had^it opened and made an effort to reach her^throa-, when the officer arrested her hand^and took the razor from her after quite a^struggle. After much difficulty she was^subdued and the ungrateful lover, promis^^ing to err no more, was forgiven. Frankie^heard of the occurrence and remarktd that^policemen were always in the way.
NOTHING IN IT.
The Olaniontl Disooeery the Reanlt of .1^Mii*eon^tru^-tloa.
Itappears that tbere is no foundation for^the report of a diamond discovery at El^^dorado bar. Mr. Foote said yesterday that^the report gained circulation while he was^at the (.rand Central hotel showing some^friends a wooden model of a sapphire^which he had made to describe the specific^gravity of the gem. Incid* ntally he re-^manted that valuable sapphires and gar^^nets had been found in Eldorado bar. and^some one who overheard the remark mis^^construed it to mean that the stones had^been recently discovered in Eldorado bar.^In the effort to get there ahead of anyone^else two or three men left for the place^yesterday.
Mr.Foote says that Montana will in the^near future produce some of the finest^stones ever seen, and he added that be^knew where they could be found, but^would not say. A local jeweler, he said,^r ceived yesterday sixteen garnets from^the east, which had been found in Mon^^tana and which he sent away to have cut.^The cutter offered him S3 a carat for the^whole lot, which contain twenty-two^carats, and he will accept the offer.
