The Committee Failed in Their Pros
ecution of Henry Boerner.
The victory of the saloon men
was complete and the defeat of the
Sunday law self-cOnstituted COM
mittee of % regulators was ignO,
miriOus and regular Waterloo in
the trial of Henry Boerner before
Justice Jones and a jury yesterday
afternoon. AS on the previous
trial, of Richard TOmmins, the
court room was so crowded that the
justice had to move upstairs into
the unOccupied court chamber of
Judge Kings FOrty-tifth judicial
district court, and even therein it
was almost impossible to find
standing room. The counsel for
the state We're Messrs. Edward Hal
tom, H. p. Drought, and assisting
them was the county attorney.
Those who appeared for the defense
were Hon. p. j. Lewis, Hon. Mar
tin Aubrey, Hon. S. G.. Newton
and j. H. Burgess. The panel
of the jury selected comprised
Messrs. Alex. Sartor, ST., and Abe
Samuels, jewellers; Mcclellan
Shacklett, lessee of the hot sulphur
wells; Rudolph Seebe, Natzi
Weiss, proprietor of the Vienna
restaurant, and Phil Heitgen, eX-
deputy assessor.
The prosecution utterly failed to
make out case. In the complaint,
the infOrmer, Pubokowski, had
sworn that Henry BOerner was the
person who owned, kept and run
the saloon, but the. testimony Of
fered by the state officers showed
that the saloon was the property
of a. SchOlz, to whom the license
was issued, and who filed the bond.
When Schramm, the clerk
of the tax collector, brought
the records of the collectors office
and showed the falsity of the
charge against BOerner. The per-
pleXity of the prosecutors and
Drought was painfully intense and
with the best grace they could as
sumo, they admitted that they
had got after the wrong man on
the wrong charge.
The defendants counsel demand
ed verdict of not guilty and the
prosecution could not oppose it,
and announced their willingness
that it should be returned to the
jury without leaving their box, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.,
amid the laughter of the crowd.
The prosecutors announce their
intention to continue and will next
take up the case of Dick TOmmins,
which resulted on Wednesday in
mistrial in Justice Adams court.

The reason the Republicans were SC
anxious to go into caucus was the follow

dated Feb. 6, and says: ave, the under
signed, hereby announce and declare our
purpose to vote for w. V. Allen for United

John NJ. Thurston was invited into the
Republican caucus and made a statement
confirming the above, he having been in
terviewed by certain members, both Re

fact that the Democrats would present
their ultimatum. Later he was given tn,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-After routine
business yesterday the senate listened to
Hill give his views on silver. He came out
squarely in favor of free bimetallic coinage,
but failed to state at what ratio. He
moved that the Sherman act repeal bill
be taken up and the mo ton was defeated
% to AZ. The car coupler bill was then con-
sidered for time, but without action. The
senate spent the remainder Of the day in exc
cutive session. During tie session the senate
passed the Indian bill and the quarantine

Repeal the Sherman Law and Free
Coinage Is Here. Says Hill.
People did not half realize the over
whelming power OF the United States. By
means of free bimetallic coinage the
United States had been able to confer upon
all nations the bOundless benefits of the
gold of California, and by means Of it
again the United States would be able
to confer upon all nations the unbounded
benefits of the silver and gold Of Colorado.
Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
The time for conference was past; the time
for independent action had come The re-
peal of the Sherman law was, in his opin-
ion, the only action needed to test and full
fill the endeavor to reach free bimetallic
coinage by the route of an international
agreement That was the point on which
all his remarks were meant to converge.
