THE sAwTELL TRIAL.
The Case Opened for the Defense
Nothing Sensational in the Testi-
XVaaIr

mOny-A Weak Case.
DOVER, N. H., Dec. 23.-The Sawten
trial was resumed to-day. To the surprise
sational in its opening, and its evidence
thus far presented shows remarkably
weak case. It had been expected that the
prisoner would take the stand. Witnesses
for the defense this afternoon were exam
ined by George F. Haley of defendants
counsel. Micajah H. Wentworth of Roch-
ester employed the Willeys to draw boards
from Lebanon to Wallace's yard in Roch-
ester. By record witness showed credit
for half days work February 8. They
started about z o'clock that morning, that
being the first day they used wheels, and
returned not far from o'clock
John Wiley told witness wife the
day after the body was found
that he thought he saw the team coming
over East Rochester bridge the Monday af-
ter the murder, and that others said they
heard the shots, but that he could not say
that he did. Joseph B. Swasey of Roches-
ter was one of the searching party for
on the night after the body was found
heard him say: 81 heard them two shots
just as plain" 1t was then reported that
there were two holes in the body. Other
evidence was presented regarding the de-
livery of the boards drawn by the WHY'S
to Wallace's yard. Richard H. Duger of
Lebanon, deputy sheriff, summoned
John Wiley to appear before the
coroner's jury. Wiley said he knew
nothing about the case and added:
"T met that team some time that
week, but to save my life could not tell
when or where. Gross examination
brought out the identification of many ar
ticles found at and near the grave. James
Corson testified that there was consider
able travel on the Rochester road at 4:30
p. m. Alonzo P. Gerriah of East Roches-
ter went from Springvale to East Roches-
ter through the roads which passed the
Blaisdell and Rankin houses, February 8.
Two-thirds of the way from Blaisdell

Big Foote'S Band I'm the Hands of the
TrOOps-One Hundred of Sitting
BULBS Band with Those Captured.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 23.-A special to the
Tribune from Pierre says: Reports re-
ceived from Fort Bennett to-day indicate
that the hostiles under Big Foot have ca
pitulated and are on their way to the post
under escort of the troops recently sent to
their camp at Cherry Greek. Captain
Hearst, with one company, was first to ar
rive, and made terms offering peace if they
would surrender their arms. This they re-
fused, and threatened to massacre the en-
tire company. The next day seven more
companies arrived, when the hostiles
gave up their Winchesters and ammuni-
ton, making protest that it was needed to
kill game. One hundred of Sitting Bulls
band are with those captured. Before the
surrender big council was held between
the stragglers under One Bull and Big
Foote'S gang as to whether it was advis-
able to join the hostiles. Captains Hearst,
Narcisse, Narcelle and Old Chief Hump
exercised what influence they could on the
reds. The entire band will be placed
under guard at Bennett of the Seventh
cavalry during the winter
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s. D., Dec. 3d.
The police have arrested the messiah down
in Red Clouds camp. When they pulled
the white blanket off they found an intel
hgent but harmless crank, M. G. Hopkins
by name, from Nashua, Ia. He claimed
that he was here in the interest of
peace and that he had come be-
cause the Indians misintepreted his mes
sage. He wanted to go to the Bad Lands
but Agent Roger changed the address of
Chadrin, starting him under an escort of
police. Some of the Indians were indig-
nant over his arrest, while others laughed
and said he was crazy fool. None of the
chiefs take any stock in him, and Red
Cloud walked up to him and said "You
go home. You are no son of God" The
Messiah claims that he will go to the Bad
Lands. One hundred friendlies have left
on their peace mission. They took three
wagon loads of provisions.
