-
The case Of the State vs.. E. O. Foers-
ter was submitted to the jury last Fri
night, week, but after wrestling with
the problem of guilt or innocence for
ten or fifteen hours the peers came to
the conclusion that it was one Of the
insoluble questions and agreed to dis
agree. A new venire was issued and
twenty -four other good and true mon
ordered brought into court Monday
morning.
Case Of Jno. Hart VS.. G. Buzzelle 90
ably conducted BY Jones, Of Boise, was
taken under advisement and is there
yet.
W. NJ. Traver vs.. Buxzelle also rest
IN the bosom Of the court.
Simpson Bros. vs.. Powers and Sny-
der was gotten into presentable con-
dition through the kindly intervention
of Caldwell attorneys and q verdict
for Plaintiff rendered. It is hoped
that members of the Caldwell bar win
continue to extend professional conr-
tesies to their Nampa brethren.
Mexican VS.. Lawson and Gwinn,
Morrison & Rice for plaintiff; Lot &.
Feltham for defendant, case taken
under advisement.
On Tuesday morning the case Of the
State VS.. Forester was again taken up
and consumed all of the day.
This is a case wherein II. j. Mclean
is prosecuting witness Mr.. Mclean
claims that he and Forester were ont
on landscape painting expedition.
They painted everything a deep scarlet
hue from Payette to Moscow. When
the vermillion dissipaters started out
Mclean had about 1900 plunkess and
Forester sported some zoo ditto.
When they got tired Of painting large,
red horizons, thew returned home, when
Mclean found that the balances on hand
were altogether ont of proportion to
to the original investments Forester
had about $500 left, whi.c lis exchequer
was about depleted. Mclean could
only rustic 1876 out of the wreck. Nc
Lean concluded that Forester had
sniped up, hence the case. District
Attorney made very able presenta-
ton If the case and painted Foerester
in rather somber colors, but 0. +. Jack
son counteracted the able officers
eloquence and influence and won freer
dom for his client and laurels for him
self. Mr.. Jackson is a promising young
attorney of Boise.
Geo. r. Kennedy convicted Of bur
glary, was sentenced to two years in
states prison at hard labor.
Hon. J. NJ. Martin, of Emmett, was
one of the petit jurors.
Judge Nugent and District Attorney
Hays went to Boise Wednesday.
The general impression is that Foer-
ester was not guilty of grand larceny,
as charged.
People say that Kennedy deserved
what he got. He is spoken OF as 4
worthless character.
The next regular term of court in this
district will be held at Weiser May %
mosquitoes permitting.
| NJ. Is. Gwinn estimates that this term
of court will cost Canyon county abou,
$4,000. A great deal of the expense il
chargeable to the Forester case.
| Judge Nugent expresses great admir-
alton of the character and inteliigenc,
of Canyon county jurymen. He, say,
they are men who think for thcmseiye,
"a rare quality in jurymen.
The slender evidence adflnee.
against Forester, suggests the ide,
that grand juries in future Ought to b,
a little more cautious about fetaynin,
true bills that turn out false.
