SLAUQflER HOUSE
SWEET SHELUHG
SAYS A WITNESS
Farmer and Former Em
ploye of Company Contra
dicts Testimony of Dozen
Witnesses for Defense.
The slaughter house of the Central
Dressed Mont company, concerning
v hlch evidence has been given by
nearly a dozen witnesses for the past
week, is as sweet smelling; and as
clean and delightful a place as can be
found up and down the Boise river,
according to evidence produced by the
plaintiff In the libel ease against the
Capital News, In which the Central
Dressed Meat company demands dam
ages to the amount of $10,000.
This is the evidence given by George
Henry Walker, a butcher employed
there for some time, of Arthur G.
Winston, a farmer who passed by the
place and could smell nothing but a
few burning bones and of O. G. Gib
son, a stockholder and director of the
plalntilT company, "ho swore that he
.lid not find the smells emanating
from the place at all objectionable to
him, but who informed the attorney
for the defense that he was not fa
miliar with Kau de Cologne.
George Henry Walker and Arthur G.
AVinston were on the stand yesterday
afternoon and the examination of Gib.
son took up the attention of the court
tills morhlng. Walker is the butcher
employed at the slaughter house up to
'.August 10, on which date he said the
offal pile had been burned and that
there was a Are there nearly all the
time.
He said this pile was about eight
feet square and the bone, feathers
and other matter in the pile would
burn several days. He said he didn't
bave any maggots In the pile on the
Iflth and there were no (lies around
tile Are. He said he knew that this
• Arc pit" or olTal plie was established
In April or May of this year. He said
prior to that date the pile had been
located a. half mile further down
(ground belonging to Goodman. He
said he never slaughtered cows con
taining unborn calves and did not run
cars of calves down the chute into
the' river that he knew of. II«
the screen door did not come

downlnnd
quite to the floor, but the opening liad
been eovered by a hoard to be re
moved for shoveling refuse out onto
the platform. He said that from the
first to the tenth there were no dead
chickens in the yard when he was
there. He said there was a toilet
house just south of the bunk house.
Tlie rendering room, he said, was in
good condition while lie- was there. He
said there were two windows and
both were screened and a door, also
screened. He said there was a ren
dering kettle and some cans with tal
low and lard in, lard coalers, lard pres
to r and a strainer. He said there was
some burnt lard, some tallow and
lard a little off the last time lie ren
dered lard there. He snid it was to
be used for soap grease and some of
it had been there two or three
months.
Saw No Maggots.
They had no odor, he said, and ho
saw no maggots and he had never
seen Aies blow lard. He said that
when they slaughtered they ran the

at night run It out Into the slaughter
room to stay alt night and they went
after It about 5 or • o'clock next
morning. He said the blood was run
down the chute to the river back of
the slaughter house. He said that
Deputy M. S. Parker gave permission
to them to slaughter out of hours pre
scribed by law.
Arthur G. Winston wae their next
witness. He lives five miles west ot
Boise. He was at the slaughter house
Aug. ,2 and went through the yard,
lie saw the offal pile which he said was
about 8 by 10 feet and 12 to 18 inches
deep. It was burning and he could not
notice any stench and saw no flies. He
•was within 8 or 19 f et of It on a foot
path. He walked through .he yard and
noticed It was very clean with no dead
chickens or carcasses. There wore no
dead calves there. The branch of the
----------
river at the slaughter house runs Into
the south channel of the river back of
H. D. Goodman's ranch and then ;
through the ranch of witness and thej
two channels came together Just below a
Pierce park. He never noticed any !
stench at his place and no more g ree h
flies than can be seen along the river j
any where. I
On cross-examination he said there]
ere big green flies all up and down,p(,
the river but none at the offal pile. He,
snid no one asked him to testify hut >
that, he came to listen to the testl
mony and was summoned as he arrived. I,
He first told D. H. Eastman nbout j
what ho knew of the case. He said un'
the offal pile there was nothing but a|
few bones almost entirely burned. He
noticed no different odor In or about
the slaughter house premises than he'
noticed elsewhere along the river out
side the burning bones. It was Just os
sweet and free from odor as any other
place along the river aside from the
burning bones.
Stockholder on Stand.
O. G. Gibson, a stockholder and di
rector of the rentrai Dressed Meat
company, was the first witness this
morning. He said he took charge
tho slaughter house on Auk. 12 and weis
again on Au*. 14 and knew of the kill
there on Aug. 13 and threw out somc'getcr
trash and burned it. He was there
Ing of a cow and a calf. There was an-|any
other cow to be killed, he said, after
he left,
On Aug. 12 he said he found the
place cleaned up Uke It always Is. The
hack door had a screen in a good con
dltlon. He didn't remember whether
tlie door from the killing platform was
open or shut. He sold there was a hole
five or six Inches from the bottom of
the hog vat which made it Impossible
to use it. He snid there was n. little
water In the bottom of the vat but he
didn't notice any bad smell. He said
there ws a plank to close the bottom
of a sc: ■ en door and this board was
I taken up to sweep out offal and refuse
the hoard Is then replaced. He said
there weren't any cracks in tlie «laugh -
house which would admit flies.
There were no ofTal piles in tlie slaugh
ter house and he never saw any barrel
containing water or other substance on
the twelfth but there was one there
on the fourteenth which contained tal
low to be used for soap grease. He said
he saw the butcher throw tallow into it.
The witness took it out on the seven
teenth and burned It up on the trash
pile.
He described the "dark" or "cooling"
room in which the meat was run after
being dressed. He said there were a
number of chickens kept at the place
hut he didn't know where they would
Bet any maggots to eat and he didn't
see any dead chickens.
The offal pile was burning on «hej
fourteenth he said, and was kept burn
ing all the time and he smelled no
stench and he never saw any maggots
but there were always some flies
around.
There was no stench or bad smell In
the lard house and no lard in there at
all, hut there was some soap grease.
