the Judges Decision.

TnE PRISONER HELD FOE TRIAL.
The case. So far as the claim for convic-
ton extends covers the dates March 10,
1877, To September, 1877. Other testimony
of eYenls outside those dates Of course only
tends To Tx the responsibility. The first
question is whether there has been any de
falcatinn at all. Mr.. IIatch's thorough IN
vestigaton showed. however. beyond a
doubt, that there was ~l6.ra0 collected here
which Was never credited at st AlhanS. As
To the responsibility, the testimony Of Mr.
Appleton and the clerks that they never
took any of the money is entitled to no
weight over that Of the respondent that he
took none OF it. Mr.. Paige had substantial
~ the sole duty I'll trallsmittin. money tn st.
Alhdns lie had been doing this for some
years before this thruugh freight came into
the office. There had been no dcfalcation in
these years. Mr.. Page knew that large sums
OF money were coming into the office. and
on the theory of his innocence it must be
proved that he transmitted all the money to
81. Adams and this was sufficient only to
balance the station account. Mr.. Paige had
means Of knowing that large sums ot money
were ostensibly collected in addition to
those collected un the station account The
question is, il he was innocent how could he
fail To know that large sums Of money were
being taken, unless. indeed proper credit
was not given at 81. Adams Ii he was in
noc"nt, | don't see why he could not have
known that some one else was taking money
from the safe or not putting it in. The only
avenue of escape for Mr.. Paige from crimi-
nal responsibility, it seems to me, is that
suggested by him in his own testimony-the
system of bookkeeping at ST Adams The
receiving clerk at st. Adams must have
known as well as Mr. Paige that the reports
from the Burlington office were defective.
The defalcation is to be laid to one of them
or else 10 Il non-credit at st. Adams OF

My judgment is that the evidence should he

animation Of three more witnesses this
morning In the Burton trial the prosecu.
ton rested. the evidence showing that
another woman besides Mrs. Bowman
was also killed by Burton. This after.
noon the defense opened It's case by
stating that the Morrisites claimed to be
the chosen people OF God. and that the
Savior would o o appear on earth and
give them power and orders TO kill all
who were opposed to them; that they
continually drilled for this purpose, and
had arrested and manacled three men
who were dissentsrs from their teach.
inps; that O writ OF habeas corpus on
behalf OF the prisoners was issued to the
Morrisites from tho District Court. TO
which writ they paid no attention; that
thereupon O warrant OF arrest was issued
for the leaders aud the aid OF the
Mormon militia invoked TO enforce the
services OF the warrant; that after the
surrender Morris and his followers Of.
tempted TO recover their guns. where.
upon Burton j~ustifedly killed Morris,
but that others at tho same time shot In
the crowd, whereby the two women aud
one Banhs we're accidentally killed. The
defense thus far has put two witnesses

Of living, manner Of drilling and some
