wood, which left Seattle at 1880 a. m. and is
due here about two hours afterwards, and 1t be-
ing possibly about o'clock when he came to

suLLIvAs's wrLLINa AID.
Ike Evans, the deputy sheriff who assisted
Sullivan In kidnapping Albertson and Bailey,
Was the next Witness He testified that he
served the warrant in the regular way; that Al
bertson had resisted; that he had taken Albert
son and that he had been taken away by mob.
Judge Burke took the witness in hand and got
him very angry at the outset and kept making
him warmer at every question. He made the
deputy sheriff admit that the warrant was givea
% him to serve on September 8, that
he carried IL around two days
n ssastls without even inquiring
where AIbertson could be found. Witness at
6rst denied intimacy with Sullivan during this
eme, but finally admitted. He could not ex-
plain why Sullivan was on hand at the time of
Che arrest or how the cab came to be waiting for
them. He didn't know how 10 explain
his connection with Sullivan in any
way. Every admission came from him with
very bad grace. particularly those showing that
DO carried the warrant in his pocket two days
without attempting to make the arrest before
Sullivan gave the signal AT the conclusion of
his testimony the prosecuting attorney said:
"four honor, We rest our case"
FULL STORY MUST BE TOLD.
Hardly had the words Eve rest" passed the
nps OF the prosecuting attorney before Judge
Burke was on his feet 1t was the general inn
preston amongst the spectators that no evil
dence viii be produced on behalf OF defendant,
and that the court would be asked TO dismiss
the case because the prosecution had
failed TO make its case. But Judge Burke
speedily indicated that, although he thought
the court might be willing to dismiss the case
o. that stage the defense did not wish it to be
Done. Addressing the court. Judge Burke said:
May 1t please the court: Under ordinary cir
cumsfances and in an ordinary case, the course
for the defense at this stage would be perfectly
obvious, and IL would be simply on this kind of
testimony 10 move instantly for dismissal OF
the case. because IL is perfectly plain and evil
dent to US that there Is not so much evidence as
pun OF air on which to base this prosecution
aimed for the ruin OF q young man; for
your honor has observed, the plaIntih has not
fpterp0Sed single technical objection to the
presentation OF the case, by the courtesy of the
prosecuting attorney, and We propose 10 follow
HAT up. Now, IL your honor please, In introduce
ING the entire testimony OF the defense, not in
answer 20 any case made against US, for there is
absolutely no case made against us, but TO throw
eood OF light upon the transaction and show IL
nom 10 z, ii your honor please, aud show
shat this man Is being pursued unjuslly and is
tust as innocent rs any man In the city OF New
York, now ask leave, with your Honors per-
0issson, 70 Introduce testimony Tor the defense
There was q murmur of approval as Judge
Burke concluded his remarks, AMI a number
who were leaving the courtroom because they
supposed the case to DO at an end, excepting q
formal dismissal by the court, filed back in II
set places OF vantage, when they heard Judge
