Was Still Out
,
A telephone message at 3:30
this morning to The Bonanza
office stated that the jury In the
Davis murder case was still out.
The defense had its inning yester
day and all of its witnesses testified
to the cruel treatment of Mm. Davis
by the murdered man. A. J. Wood
ward, who is now running the Peo
ple's restaurant on Central street,
testified that on or about May first,

volver'at his wife in his place, in
tending to kill her, and that he had
several times heard deceased threat
en to kill his wife it she would not
consent to join the girls leading a
life of shame so that she could add
more money to the income of Davis.
John Boyer was put on the stand
and said that he had twice seen Davis
beat his wife in the Eureka saloon.
Eva Craig testified that the murder-
ed man had almost killed her in a
dark alley one night taking her for
his wife. Edward Flowers and Mrs.
Lizzie Craig both testified to the dif
ferent beatings received by Mrs.
Davis at the hands of her husband.
Justice Brissell was called in re
buttal but the atorneys for the de
fense objected to the line of testi'
mony and they were sustained by
Judge O'Brien. ,
At 3:30 the district attorney, Pat
rick McCarran, began his opening
address to the jury. He briefly went
over the summary of the evidence
gathered and showed that the mur
der was deliberate, premediated and
willful. Mr. McCarran, who Is one of
the most gifted orators In the state,
was at his best in both the opening
and closing addresses to the jury, his
closing argument being especially a
most masterful effort.
The court adojurned late In the af
ternoon to meet again at 7:30 when
Lawyer Cole for the defense made
the opening address. Mr. Cole was
followed by Attorney Gibbons, who
devoted his time to showing the mo
tive for the deed and how the wife
had led a life of slavery with her
husband. He traced the cruel treat
ment of Mrs. Davis from their mar
riage in .1905. to the Sunday before
the shooting. Although Mrs. Davis
had returned from Bodie with $200
which she turned over to her hus
band the defense proved that "Devil"
Davis wanted to send her immediate
ly out again to lead a lite of shame.
He brought ip before the jury var
ious arguments showing that the de
fendant did not have any control over
her mind during the night of the
shooting. As Mr. Gibbons wound up
the closing argument tor the defense
the defendant who had been swaying
back and forth in her chair for some
time, broke ., down and sobbed for
several minutes.
At 9:50, the district attorney, Mr.
McCarran, began his closing address.
His ringing tone throughout his clos
ing argument made the crowd listen
Intently for every word. He showed
that the defense could not prove an
overt act and that their plea must go
by the boards. He brought out the
insanity plea which the defense had
first tried and, said that as Insanity is
the dethronement and the alienation
of reason it was well for the defense
to try some .other plea as the evl-
hobbfjs

dence showed conclusively that Mrs.
Davis was in her right mind when the
deed was committed. "Why should
'Devil' Davis wish to kill his wife?"
went on Mr. McCarran, "and here is
another inconsistency, for if she had
brought in the money why should he
desire to kill the goose that laid the
golden egg." Here the district at
torney caused a sensation by holding
up the pistol with which the deed
was done, and continuing, said
"With that thing she says that she
came to get her clothes, to bid him
good bye, to tell her husband that
she was going for good. No, Mrs.
Davis came there that night to kill
her husband for the reason that she
was Insanely jealous. Had reason
been dethroned by the agent of in
sanity?

Mr. McCarran took forty-five min
utes in making his closing argument
and then the court instructed the
jury as to the law In murder cases.
The courtroom 'was cleared and the
jury was locked up by 11 o'clock.
The court room was crowded to
the doors last night, every point of
vantage being taken. The crowd
represented in a large measure the
friends of the dead man and the de
fendant, but there were many citi
zens there to listen to the bursts of
oratory from the three lawyers.
Quick work was the order of the
trial, but two days being taken be

Haywood's Evidence
full of Antagonisms
By Associated Press.
BOISE, July 12. Wm. D. Haywood left the witness chair this
' afternoon. He had been under examination six hours by his own
4 counsel and state, time being equally divided. Haywood's testi- 4 .
4 mony in his own behalf practically closes the case for the de- 4
tense. After one witness tomorrow, the state will begin rebuttal. 4
4 ' There 1 a prospect that the case may be brought to a conclusion' 4
' within "two weeks. " The state expects to close In rebuttal Wed-
i nesday or Thursday next, the defense by Saturday. Much of Hay-
wood's testimony today Is a repetition in detail of what Moyer
said yesterday. Haywood, however, made no effort to deny his
' knowledge of Orchard and his affairs or his connection with Simp-
kins. He was pressed closely as to the passage of a telegram re-
:, lating, to the engagement of counsel to defend Orchard. In this
connection he submitted that he knew Simpkins and retained
counsel, but there was no report from Simpkins to the federation
on the subject. Haywood explained the draft sent to Simpkins
for $100 on the ground that Simpkins had left the money with
him for safe keeping. Haywood in many particulars confirmed
Orchard, hut where Orchard connected Haywood or the Western
Federation with crimes, witness was very emphatlccl in his de-
' nlals. ' He denounced the administration of Colorado at the time
of the troubles as corrupt and extolled the value of the Western
Federation. Through his testimony, Haywood rang a note of an-
4 tagonlsm to what he called the capitalistic class and avowed his
confirmed belief that only by such methods as those followed by
the Western Federation can the working man hope to control
. the situation. . ' m,-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12. Mayor Charles Boxton, the first
. of the corrupt public officials to fall into the net spread by the
bribery-graft prosecution, today on the witness stand in the Glass
trial did much to earn immunity from punishment promisedahim
conditionally by Rudolph Spreckels, District Attorney Langdon, ,
Francis J. Heney and Detective William J. Burns. He told in de-
tail the story of his entrapment last fall at the home or one Roy,
a restaurant keeper who, co-operating with the prosecution.
bought for $500 his supervisorial vote against an ordinance pro-
hibiting child patronage of skating rinks only to turn him over
to the law. He told how Spreckels Heney, Langdon, Burns and
a dozen others outside the doors walked in on him, confronted
him with statements of proof and threats of punishment: how
they offered to let him go free if he would "turn up" his confed-
crates and accomplices inside and outside the board of supervi-
sors; how he agreed and a written guarantee of immunity was
drawn up and signed and placed in Spreckel's pocket; how they
sent him home under escort and guarded him as a prisoner.
The Inn is a new saloon on Colum
bia street, between Ramsey . and
Crook, and has only been opened a
tew days. Besides the bar there Is a
crap game and a roulette wheel eon
ducted there. The wheel had closed
down, there were a few men at the
crap table and a few more playing
cards. There were seven men In the
saloon besides the bartender, when at
12:10 the doors were swung open,'
and the blood of the visitors ran cold
when they heard the mandate:
"Throw up your hands 1"
Standing In the doorway were two
men, not the traditional tall and
short men, but two shorties. Both
wore black handkerchiefs over their
faces with two holes cut for the eyes.
One carried a sawed off shotgun and
the other handled a forty-five Colt's
in a very business-like manner.

as soon as the move was executed,
and the bartender was ordered to get
out and join his customers, which he
did. ;
One grabbed all the silver on the
crap table, amounting to $550, and
then went tor the till, which produc

man was at tne till, a stranger. en
tered the place, and was quietly told
to join the others with hands up. He
did. The robbers then backed out of
the saloon, and telling all hands not
to stir, departed.
The alarm was given two minutes
after, but before the officers arrived
the robbers had made good their es
cape. Sheriff Ingalls ordered some
of his men to the depot to watch the
outgoing freight, while others were
sent to the red light district. The
robbers, however, seemed to have
made a thorough get-a-way, and no
trace of them could be found. Sev
