Lively Times Between His Honor
and Counsel for Defense.
LOOKING BAD FOB DEFENDANTS
Judge Beatsy's killings Do Not BY Any
Means Favor Adjournment
Had Amidst Confusion.

CGuR D'ALENE, Ida, Sept 12.-TSpecial
telegram to TIE HERALD. The opening
OF court today was like that of MAY
morning, but ere the day closed the scenes
OF the courtroom beggar description Tho
defense introduced George 3. dcAuley
who testified as to the occurrences at WAL
lace on the 18th and 18th OF July, and recog-
nized defendants Giles, Hyatt. Murphy
and Devins as being present with the mob
that came up from Wardnsr Junction after
the surrender
Upon cross examination by Hawley he
admitted being a member of the Mine
Owners association, and had contributed
money to assist the prosecution.
Witness John Porsius testified that de-
PENDANT J. w. Glass ordered the union men
into line after the non-union men had left
on the train July I3.
Gross, Major w. W. Woods and Van y.
Delsshmutt testified at length to inter
views at Wallace on the 18th and 18th Of
July between themselves and Defendants
Bushnell aud Peter Breen. relative to the
surrender of the men at the Gem mines.
The written agreement made at the
time between the partisans, and signed By
Gross for the Gem and Breen at Bonner
for the citizens, was introduced 1t was
drawn up by Major Woods OF the request
of all parties and provided for the dis
charge Of the Gem employees and their
shipment from the country. The prosscu-
ton tried hard to prove that Breen and
Bonner epr eseuted the miners union.
but the witnesses all declared that they
pretended to represent the citizens Of
Gem.
The witnesses all testified that Defend
ant Bushnell, g. attorney for the Miners
union, participated in the negotiations
pending the surrender, and with Breeu
and others attempted to induce Desashmutt
to telegraph the president to have the
troops stopped from entering the several
camps. Delashmutt, who was formerly
mayor of Portland, Or, gave a very
graphic description of the troubles, but his
rsgid cross examination by MIR. Reddy
shook the testimony considerably The
cause as it now stands looks bad for De-
fen dant Bushnell but he declares his
ability TO prove c0nclusively that he acted
all through as citizen, anxious to save
---O
good OF humanity.
just before adjournment Mr.. Reddy
asked for an affidavit fled in the contempt
case in order to get data for an impeachlng
question Of witness DelashmHtt. Although
the clerk said he had it in his possession
the court refused to allow Reddy to obtain
it, ruling that the questions based upon it
would bo immaterial. Mr.. Reddy insisted
upon bis right to the question, and Judge
Beatty became angry and threatened coun-
sci with penalty for contempt of court.
He persisted and boldly declared that if he
was to be committed for contempt of court
while exercising his privileges as an attor-
Fey in defense of his client he invited the
penalty. Mr. Genehi attempted to get in a
word and was very promptly sat down on
by the court.
Adjournment was finally had amidst con-
siderable confusion and with decided
feeling of the defense that they have as
little to expect from his honor as they had
from Wiley or Curtis.
