Whereupon Judge Mediation Or

County Jail.
Mr. MacKnight Makes 1t Matter or Per-
s0nal Behind tho jail
Bars.

BUTTE, July d. Special. THE hearing
in the contempt case was very brief to-
night and it ended in Editor MacKnight, of
the Helena journal, being placed behind
the bars. When the case was called Mt
seven O'Clock Attorney e. d. Weed arose
and said: After consulting with the per-
son who gave q portion of the information
which was used in the alleged contempt
article, with all respect to the court, the
defendant must respectfully decline to re-
veal the name of the person. The matter
is one of personal honor with Mr.. Mac
Knight, and he is not willing to comprom-
Use the person who gave information sim
ply in private conversation and not in
tended as a contempt of court"
Judge McHatton said; "The defendant
MacKniRht, having refused to answer the
question. is committed to the county Jail of
Silver Bow county until he does answer the
question, and the proceeding on contempt
is postponed until such answer is made"
Attorney Weed asked that the court first
listen to argument as to whether the ar
ticle is really a contempt, as in case it
should not prove to be contempt it would
not be necessary to answer the question.
The Judge replied that he would not in
dulge in argument on the case SO long as
the defendant stands in contempt of court
and that the further hearing of the matter
is postponed until the present contempt
is satisfactorily adjusted by the defend
ant answering the question. Mr.. Weed then
asked that the court fix bond for the de-
fendant to appear before the higher court,
pending the preparation of paper. The
Judge replied that the court is not desirous
of imposing unnecessary hardships on the
defendant, but that he would not in this
case or in any case admit to bail de-
fendant who refuses to answer n question.
He said: "rhe order as made will stand"
He then adjourned court and ordered the
sheriff to take charge of the defendant.
The sheriff thereupon conducted Mr.. Nc
Knight into the corridor of the jail and the
door was closed.
Efforts are being made to have Mr.. Mac
Knight released on writ of habeas corpus
from the supreme court, and Mr.. Weed will
go over to Helena in the morning to en-
deavor to accomplish this. Mr.. MacKnight
will doubtless have to remain in the sheriff's
custody until Tomorrow night, as papers
can scarcely be prepared and Mr.. Weed re-
turn to Butte before that time.

similar to those growing out of the New Or
leans killing exists here. Some days ago, in
a drunken row between lumbermen and
gang of italian railroad laborers. Horace
Fisher, lumberman, was stabbed and killed
by Paolo Passuzzi, who:escaped to the
ltrlian camp, whe,e he has since been pro-
tected. The Italians flung the flag of Italy
to the breeze and defied the lumbermen to
interfere with Passuzzi. The lumbermen,
thoroughly aroused, threaten to kill every
Italian in the neighborhood. They noti-
fed the Italians that unless Passuzzi WAS
delivered to the jail for trial inside Of
five days they will come prepared to take
him at the point of Winchester rifles. The
Italians appealed to the Italian consul at
Philadelphia, who has demand protection
for the Italian subjects. The district at

advise them to deliver up the murderer.
The consul has sent men here to investi-

THE WHEAT TRUST COMBINE,
Editor Crum Denies That Ono Has Been
Formed.

Grum Denies IhAG Ono Has B0Gn
Formed.
New YORK, July 4.-To-day reporter
interviewed w. G. Cum, general manager
in New York of the bureau of the National
farmers alliance and Reform Press assooi-
alton, touching the so-cnlled wheat trust
combine among farmers. He denied that
any such combine had been formed. The
suggestion was made, he said, some
time ago, that farmers would do
we'll to hold their wheat for remuneratlve
prices in preference to allowing il to fall
into the hands of INSCRIPTIONS spectators.
Upon this advice, word was sent out
through the bureau of the reform press two
weeks ago, advising farmers to hold their
wheat. Several sub alliances in Illinois
met and passed resolutions to this effect,
which We're published in alliance papers,
there being no effort to conceal the fact
whatever. Crum said the attempt to
make it appear now ss if some trailer"
had revealed the matter prematurely is in
ke 4plng with many similar attempts to in
vent certain ambitious leaders with an air
of impo t nce far beyond their ability or
worth. Editor Crum, who is a practical
farmer himself, and tho ioughly posted in
the schemes rs narrated, says he does not
believe intelligent farmers will be ought
with such chat. lie is convinced that Ger
tain schemers are trying to work the
Farmers alliance for all it ls worth for self
ish and political purposes.
AS to combination among farmers,
Crum said: II would be very glad if the
farmers could, by combination, secure
good prices, especially for wheat. The re-
port coming from st. Paul stating that Ig-
natlus Donnelly was opposed to Il wheat
trust among farmers betrays the dema-
goguery of the whole plot, for whiis cham
pioning the cause of the farmers, he ia
we'll known rs u knight Of Labor leader in
the west. He is looking for Il presi
Dental nomination in 1892. He hesi-
tates to urge wheat combine
which would affect the price of the bread of
those whose sutfrages We must have. While
favor any plan which will contribute hon
estly to farmers welfare, l have doubts Of
the efficiency of the policy of farmers hold
ing too long to their whent. 1t takes
money to move as we'll as to buy wheat and
If held too long and the worlds crop turns
ont larger than anticipated, crash is inn
minent, more disastrous in its consequences
than dreamed of in the philosophy of the
most pronounced alliance doctrine"

reason TO believe that rebate was paid by

to him that certain political debts had to

way. He also understood that newspapers
that did not get advertising were taken care
of by those that did get ~. After McCam-
mant left the room Committeeman Elting
stated that Notwithstanding the auditor

New YoRK July N.-The trial Of Samuel
W, Lewis, the Wall street broker who WAS
nccuaod Of stealing from his wife, Mrs.
Alice g. Bostwick Lewis, who was formerly
the widow of prominent resident Of
bridgeport, Conn.,, was concluded this
afternoon in verdict of guilty. The sps-
cific accusation was that on July 1S, 1889.
the complainant, Mrs. Lewis, gave the do
fendhnt $1,000 with which To buy 100 shares
OF Pullman Palace car stock, and that
Lewis never bought tho stock, but appropri-
nted tho money. Mrs. Lewis told tho story
OF her husbands dishonesty to the court.
she was very much excited. She is Il
matroniy looking woman about ~ yenrs
old, with dark features and brown hair
mixed with gray. She said:
II met Mr.. Lewis in the summer of 1885
at Black Rock, Conn. He called on mo
some time later at my house. No 6, East
fifty-eighih street, this city. and after my
divorce We were married-in December,
1887 The first the defendant said to me
about stocks was in the winter of 1896. when
he told me that Pullman Palace ar stocks
were going to have II big riae and advised
me to buy 100 shares, which could get by
paying on installments. ] gave him S1 900
on June "a, and on July Is, $500. This
WAS prior to our marriage. On September
Is. gave him 500 on the same account.
In the August following our marriage we
lived at Orange. N. j., and one day asked
him about the Pullman stock. He said il
was all right and gave me letter to
man named Johnston, broker.
l went to Mr.. Johnston about
my stock. then to the office Of the
Pullman Car company, and finally to the
Farmers' Loan and Trust company, but
found no stock to my credit. Then re-
turned home and asked him what he meant
by sending mo on FOOLS errand. He said
that he sent me out of the house because he
was afraid ! would have him arrested"
Lawyer Grundel cross-examined Mrs.
Lewis, but failed to shake her testimony,
She said the defendant had given her a
statement of their money transactions. Sho
never received a certificate of her stock,
however, and when she asked what he had
done with the money he said he had spent it.
The prisoner, Lewis, went on the stand in
his own behalf. He is medium sized man,
slender, with big, bullying eyes, which are
partially concealed by eyeglasses. A close
ly cropped brown Vandyke beard adorns his
face, and his general appearance would in
dictate that he was clergyman. Lewis nd
mitted that he had received the money from
his wife. and said it had been lost in in
iudicious speculation. He was under the
impression that man could spend his
wife's money without being prosecuted.
The case was given to the jury to decide
after several other unimportant witnesses
had been examined. The learned men of
the jury took only ten minutes to decide
| that Lewis had no right to spend his wife's
money without an accounting, and found
him guilty of grand larceny in the first de-
gree. Lewis was remanded until Friday
for sentence. He will probably get five
years.
