BOI8E, IDAIIO, Decombcr 31.?Tho dofenao reated ln tho Fottibone enso to-day and offored to submlt tho cu.to to tho Jury without nrgument. Thu lllnesa of Pettlbone, whlch ls crltlcal, had much to do with tho dofense'a declBlon. Tho announcemiMit came as a cotnplcte aurprlsc to tho State. Judgo Hilton, for the dcfenae, tncroly aald the State had failod to conneut the do fendant with tho crlmo charged ln the Indlctmont. Scnator Bornh asked for a recoss ln order that tho proposltlon of the do? fenao mlght be considercd. Judgo Wood granted tho requeat.

The caae now hangs cn tlrely upoh the nature of the Instruc? tions of tho court so far aa'further proceedlngs are concernud. The prosecutlon admlts that there has been no corroboratlvo evldence connectlng tho defendant dlrectly with tho kllliug of Steunenberg, but la buslng.ita hopc of convlctlon on estab llshlng proof of a conspiracy to klll cnomlcH of the Westcrn Federatlon of Mlncrn. alleglng thnt the murdor of Steunonberg was an lncldent ot that conspiracy.

If, however, tho court ln atruct that proof of conspiracy in Itself Is sufflclent, provlng tho State has pre Jented satlsfactory proof thnt the do tnndant wns a rnember of the conspir? acy, and thnt the klllltig of Hteunen berg was an lncldent of it, the ca.<c will be argued. The State has asked that instructions to thia effect bo glven. PLEAD FOR HIS LIFE Governor Vrgcd lo Coinniule Sentence of Jouew?HelelKh rfeWs. f From Our Kexular Corre?pundent.l BALEIGH, N.
