; during the day.
This morning when court opened
, there was n clash between the two
brilliant luwyers.. Jerome wanted to
, ask certain questions of Janies Clinch
. Smith, brother-in-law of Stanford j
, White.. Tills man was on the stand
. yesterday afternoon and testified that
Fie was on .Madison Square Carden
the night of the murder and that
Tliaw came over and talked to liim
just liefore the tragedy.. Jerome

MORE DELAY.

before the trial of Moyer, Haywood
and Pettibone will be started.
Today Judge Byron declared that
he was disqualified to cry the case as
he had a brother interested as an at
torney in the defense of Harry Or

This calls for a postponement of
even the preliminaries.

GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO. TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1907.
THE TRIAL IS ENDED
Fate of Morgan Williams and Ed
James Now Bests With
The Jury.
Shortly beroro eleven o'clock this
morning the last witness In the case
of Morgan Williams and Ed James,
charged with murderous assault, was
called. The Jury was then excused
until two oclock and the Judge and
attorneys took up the work of pre
paring the Instructions. There were
many lively tilts between the counsel
over various provisions of the In
structions.
At two o’clock the instructions
were read to the Jury and the argu ;
ments were then entered upon. At-!
torneys Wheeler and Welser spoke
j for the defense and Attorneys Carna
j han and Fry Spoke for the prose
tion. The arguments were all force
ful and masterly, each side putting
up a fierce fight to win the case.
The case was turned over to the
jury about four o’clock. It is predict
ed by many that the jury will be out
for several hours.
The last witness for the prosecu
tion was introduced yesterday after
noon about three o'clock and then the
defense opened Its testimony. Mor
gan Williams and Ed James were of
course the most important witnesses.
Each described the row that occur
red on the street at Fruita, as he
saw it. Williams made a very good
witness and neither he nor James
were badly confused by the prosecu
tion. Their accounts of the trouble
were similar In all the important de
tails and neither's testimony was
shaken to any extent by the prosecu
tion.
Williams stated that on the after
noon of December 24th, he and Jam
es went to Fruita from the Williams
ranch to get shaved. They stopped at
Mrs. Williams’ millinery shop and
got their mall, each receiving n let- ,
ter. Williams states that his letter
Informed him of threats that Bert
Younts had made against him to the
effect that Younts would shoot Wil
liams when he saw him. Williams
testified that ho left the millinery i
store with James and started down
the street saw Younts. He approach
ed Younts, laid his hand on his shoul
der and drawing him around, slates
that he asked him about the gun he
was carrying for him (William*).
The witness testified that Y&unts
made a move as if to draw a gun and
then in order to protect himself he
struck at Younts, knocking him back, (
and then striking him two or three
more limes knocked him to the (
ground. He admitted kicking Younts
and said that he did so in order to.
disable him so that ho could not.
draw his gun and shoot him. In the (
meantime, he said, a big revolver had
fallen out of Younts’ pocket. Wil
liams detailed the part that James
took in the affray aud also told of
the interference of Nearlug, tin* half
brother of Younts.
James’ testimony bore out the
statements of Williams. He declar
ed that Williams simply acted in self
defense and was justifiable.
Miss Lizzie Williams, a sister of
Morgan Williams, an eye-witness of
the fight, made an excellent witness
for the defense. A number of other
witnesses were introduced by the de
fense yesterday afternoon and this
morning.
An uninterested spectator listen
ing to the testimony on both sides
would not have much trouble In con
cluding that neither side is free from
blame. It was simply u clash be
tween two pretty tough characters.
The prosecution endeavored to
prove the assault on Younts unpro
voked while the defense endeavored
to prove it justifiable.
The instrutions given to the jury
were very lengthy and neither side
could claim any advantages from the
instructions. The court declared that
if Morgan Williams and Ed James
were convinced beyond a reasonable
doubt that Bert Younts was going to
make an effort to kill them, they had
a right to attack him even if he had
not struck the first blow or drew a
gun. On the other hand the court in
structed the jury that if a man pur
posely accosted an enemy when he
knew that the result of the encounter
might prove fatal to one or the other
if he sought the trouble, then he was
not justified in making n plea of self
defense.
The instructions seem to cover
every point of the case most thor
oughly.
The court room was crowded to
overflowing all afternoon. The in
terest In the case Is great.

Some Interesting Statistics

UP TILL LAST NIGHT
When the books were closed .

Business Men $24,803 ,
Young Men 5.840 ,

If nil signs do not fall the Y. M.
C. A. fund will reach $35,000 by this
evening at six o’clock, and the com
mittees will bo within $5,000 of the
sum that must be raised before the
building Is an assured fact and with
in $15,000 of Hie sum desired, $50,-
000.
Five working (lays of the campaign
yet remain and surely the people will
keep the average amount raised each
of these days up to $3,000. Remem
ber, if $50,000 is raised there are sev
eral men who have promised addi
tional large subscriptions to pile up
tho big fund that stands out as the*
j goal in this great race for an institu
tion that means a bigger, a greater,
a better Grand Junction. Everybody
has about quit talking of SIO,OOO.
it is now “that $50,000 wo are going
to raise.
$;vooo Came in Yesterday
Yesterday was the banner day
since the very first day of the cam
paign. In all just about $5,000 was
raised yesterday, Including the $1 .-
000 subscription received from Gen.
Wiliam J. Palmer. The hand on the
big clock moved five times during the
day and today It stands most com
fortably near “the high noon” mark.
There is a strong probability that
this “high noon" mark will be reach
ed by Wednesday night and $40,000
will be in hand
The average dully harvest since the*
first day has been $3,000. Can’t we
keep up this lick until next Monday
night at nine o'clock? Surely we can.
Soaked In Enthusiasm
The boys are within SSOO of their
pledged sum, $2,000. But they won’t
stop at that amount and now some of
them are talking about making ii
$3,000. The enthusiastic specimens
of Young America are wefrking like
beavers and all of the teams are
showing up well. The spirit of rival
ry is running higher and higher each
day.
Still After the Big Subscription*
Some of the workers are still ang
ling for SI,OOO subscriptions. Several
are In sight and every effort Is being
made to land them. When a new
SI,OOO subscription or SSOO subsclp
tion is announced the men about the
headquarters take on about two hun
dred horse power additional energy.
For The Railroad Men
Interest among the railroad men of
the city in the Y. M. C. A. movement
la growing and during the past few
days many of the railroad boys have
( ailed at headquarters. A large num
ber have contributed liberally to the
cause. The Y. M. C. A. has done a
groat work for and proved a great
blessing to the railroad men of the
country, and therefore the railroad
employees should be as deeply Inter
ested as any other class of men. The
railroad department of the Y. M. C.
A. Is vast In Its extent and Is grow
ing rapidly from month to month.
Just a few figures to prove this. At
the close of last year there were 230
i allroad organizations, a gain of 23
over the year 1905.
At the close of 1906 there were
. 54.610 railroad men enrolled as mem
bers, a gain of over 10,000 over the
ESTABLISHED 1893.

previous year.
At tho close of last year there wore
162 railroad Y. M. C. A. buildings,
a gain of 32 in one year. Total valu
ation of these Is $3,000,150, u gain
of $742,400.
The dally attendance at railroad
Y. M. C. A. buildings (luring 1906
was 41.984, a gain of 8,033.
A total of 1,137,310 baths were
taken at these buildings by railroad
men in 1906. Beds occupied during
1906 wore 1,472,810.
During 1906, 1,200 lectures and
practical talks were delivered at these
buildings.
At tho present time railroad Y. M.
C. A. buildings valued at $631,000
are In course of construction at var
lous points along many of the import
ant railroad linos of the country. By
Hie end of this year there will be a
total of 182 railroad association build
ings in tho country, valued at $3,584,
850.
In every city and town In the coun
try where there Is a Y. M. C. A. whe
ther it be devoted exclusively to the
lallroad men or not, the employees
of the railway systems form a large
per cent of the membership. The ad
vantages offered the railway men such
a building as will be erected in Grand
Junction are too numerous to dot ail
here. No railroad man In Grand
Junction can afford to give no atten-l
tlon to this great movement. You
have an Interest in It and you should
stand by and support that interest. I
There is no question that what
the Y. M. C. A. movement Is the most!
talked of proposition in Grand Junc
tion today. It is really remarkable
the extent to which Interest has been
developed. Tho Y. M. C. A. fever
has reached the epidemic stage. Its,
contageion is spreading rapidly and
but few men and women are immune. 1
“How much have they got now?’ |
“what’s the hand on the clock point-j
ing to?" and similar questions are
heard on every hand every hour dur
ing the day. Hundreds and hundreds,
of people watch the face of the big
clock and smile happily whenever
they see that the hand has moved up,
a notch or two.
It’s a groat campaign and who will
dure hope that It will be other than i
a winning campaign? It would boj
rankly unpopular to be n knocker on ,
the Y. M. C. A. movement. Earnest j
prayers aro daily ascending to the;
Most High for its success, and those
who don’t pray are boosting and who
pray are boosting too. It’s a com
mon cause and on this battlefield i
every man stands shoulder to shoudcr|
with every other man, if he only does,
his duty.
The announcement made in the Sen
tinel yesterday to the effect that “Ir
ish Kate" or more respectfully. Mr
Mike Costanzo. had fallen heir to a
neat little fortune, was read with
much Interest and the hope has been
generally expressed that the woman
will keep her pledge not to drink any
more.
