Opening of State's Case Against
Bombard and Perry.
BUT SLOW PROGRESS MADE
Testimony Is Taken Down in Lont Hand
and Much T.me Is Rquired for
Each Question--Hlrr Band
mann's Evidence.
Missoula, Dec. 30.-In the district
court room to-day Justice of the Peace
Houtchens began the preliminary hear
ing of Joseph Perry and Alex Bom
bard, who are charged with incendiar
ism in the burning of the Bandmann
bridge last week. The case was called
at 11 o'clock this morning and has
progressed slowly, as the testimony is
all taken in long hand, which requires
considerable time for each question.
The state is represented by County At
torney Denny, P. Z. Prince and Marcus
L. Crouch, the latter as special attor
ney for Mr. Bandmann. The defend
ants are represented' by J. M. Dixon.
There were sworn this morning 10 wit
nesses for the state and two for the
defense, the latter being the wife and
mother-in-law of Bombard. After the
wltnessds had been sworn they were
excluded from the court room, with the
ýdmonition to refrain from talking
about the ease.
Mrs. Bandmann was the first witness
called. $he swore that she was the
.aner of the bridge and that its value
w as about $3,000.
Mr. Bandmann followed and his tee
-tlhnony occupied nearly the entire day.
He testified to his relations with the
twoo,defendants. He said that he had
had business dealings with both; that
Bombard has worked for him, hauling
wood to town, until he had detected
Bombard in the theft of a portion of a
wagont and then their business relations
ceased. As to his relations with Perry,
he -testified that Perry had asked him
for a contract of cutting wood on the
Bandmann ranch, but that when lihe
found that Perry lived at Bombard's
he had refused to do business with him.
Perry was persistent, but Bandmann
refused positively to give him any
werk as long is he remained at Bom
bard's.
At.the afternoon session John Noon
an, engineer of the Northern 'acific,
was called and testified that he left
Missoula on the morning of the fire at
about 6:15 o'clock. His train reached
the crossing near the bridge about
eight minutes later. At that time he
noticed the fire. It was burning in the
timbers that supported the bridge on
the pier toward the east end. IIe saw
nobody at or near the bridge and hur
ried to Bonner, where he telegraphed
the alarm to the superintendent's of
fice in Missoula. lte said that when
he saw the fire it was burning so that
it would have been difficult for two or
three men to extinguish it unless they
had a supply of water on top, of the
bridge.
Fireman Proper oP Engineer Noonan's
train substantiated the testimony of
Mr. -Noonan. and at the conclusion of
his evldeh.ieothe Ode' was: diQtlhued
till Monday.
