The Lee Trial-The Charge.
BEAVER, Utah, Aug. 3.
In the Lee trial the Judge charged
the jury to keep the substance of the
charge. In addition to the usual in
structions they were charged that the
jury should determine whether a COM
bination had been made to perform the
massacre, aud if Lee had been a party
thereto without regard to the fact
whether or not he with his own hands
assisted in the massacre; if they be-
lieved the Indians were greatly in
censed against the emigrants that was
no excuse for the whites. If they were
cooperating with the Mormons it only
made the offense more heinous. At
the close Of the charge District Attor-
ney Carey opened, reviewing the testi-
nlony; Sutherland following for the
defense. In the attempt TO break down
Klingensmith's testimony some facts
have come to light concerning the
course of the defense which looks as
though an attempt was teing made to
clear the head of the Mormon Church
by sacrificing Lee.
