LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
THE TRIAL OF EGAN,
The PrOsee utiOn Rests. Theory Of
the Defense

The Prosecution Rests. Theory Of
the Defense
Yesterday, the fifth day of the Egan
trial, the prosecution introduced fur
ther evidence in proof of it's theory
that John Farrell was wsylaid and
murdered. DIR. Johnson testified to
having made post mortem examina-
ton of the body. and gave it as his
opinion that deceased was shot in the
head from behind.
In the afternoon Judge Berry opened
for the defense. and stated what they
intended to prove. He said that Egan
had been poisoned and that the poison
affected, his mind to such an extent
that he was in constant fear of being
killed. He outlined the theory of the
defense; said that when Egsn met Far
rell in the canyon, the latter, who was
mounted on Q spirited horse, attem pied
to ride down Egan. who, was a.foot
leading his mule, and that Egan be.
lieved he was JUSTIFIED in shooting
him.
The defense then introduced evil
deDce TO show the condition of Egan's
mind after the alleged poisoning. This
was objected to by counsel for the
nntaoc h. L. 4
mitted that they intended to prove that
Egan was insane. A lively debate CO.
saed. in which all the counsel on each
side participated. The Hon. William
Woodburn. TO add weight to his ob.
lection to the testimony, informed the
Court. the jury and opposing counsel
OF his standing among the members OF
the BAR in Storey county. This
brought Judge Grass to his feet. and
he politely Informed the distinguished
counselor that his standing at the bar
IN Virgins City had no bearing what
ever on the principles of law involved
IN the question under discussion. The
Court decided to admit the testimony,
which was in substance that the de-
PENDANT appeared to have some nervous
affection at the time witness visited his
place last winter, shortly after the al
legged poisoning of his provisions.
1t is now evident that the defendant.
who is the only living witness of the
fatal encounter between him and de-
ceased. intends to make statement
detailing what transpired at that meet
ing aud showing that he acted in self
defense.
Last evening the prosecution sub.
pensed ten new witnesses from differ
ent parts of the country.

1HD1A's GREAT MURDER TRIAL.
Tho Crime Of the Hereditary Guardian Of the
Temple Of Juggernaut.
from the London Times.

from the London Times
CALCUTTA, MAY 5.-A special
High Court Bench, consisting of
the Chief Justice and two Puisne
Judges, will sit tomorrow to hear |
an appeal in the case of the Rajah |
OF PO0rree. The Advocate General,
support the conviction. No case
slnc5 the famous Baroda trial has
excited 80 much interest. The
Rajah is the hereditary guardian of
the Temple of Juggernaut, his
special duty in that capacity being
to sweep the space in front of the
throne when the god leaves the
temple for the Juggernaut car. He
is also the secular head of the Hin
doc religion in Orissa, and is wOr-
shipped by the Ooryah people as
the visible incarnation of Vishnu,
being regarded as the lineal de-
scendant Of the old Hindoo kings OF
Orissa, whose dominions are said
to have extended from the Ganges
to Godavery. The murdered man,
. Hindoo ascetic of great sanctity,
enjoyed a special reputation for
curing diseases.
The salient facts of the case, as
given in the judgment of the Dis
trict Court, are shortly these: The
victim of the murder was discover
ed by the police in front Of the
Lion Cato Of the Juggernaut Tenn
pie, covered with burns and other
marks Of indescribable torture. He
lived fifteen days in ageny. His
statement was that two servants of
the Rajah had come to his house and
told him that their master wanted
him. He was accordingly conduct.
cd in the gymnasium Of the palace,
where the Rajah, with ten or twelve
servants, was present. He was then
thrown down and overpowered, and
after being tortured for three hours
was thrust out through q small
back door. After crawling some
distance he was eventually captur-
ed by the police. The motive for
the crime is q mystery. The pur-
dered man was unconscious of hav-
ing offended the Rajah, but stated
that the Dowager Rance had con-
suited him regarding the state ol
the Rajah's mind, aud he had Civ
en- directions for his care. He hac
only once visited the palace. 1
was possible that the Rajah hat
been induced to believe that b,
was employed by the Dowagel
Rance in the work of incanta
tion against him, or thai
there was some intrigue between
them. The trial, which lasted {
considerable time, created pro
found sensation in 0rissa, in conse
quence of the special sanctity both
OF the accused and the murdered
man. The assessors were for ac'
quitting the Rajah, but the Judg,
convicted him, though curiously
enough he sentenced him only to
transportation for life.
The Rajah now appeals from thi
sentence to the High Court. He i
only % years Of age, and is said t.
