second degree.
When the case was called the defendant
was in his place, seated behind his coun-
sci, Judge Maginnjs, L. r. Rhodes and
James L. Loar. The three months of
confinement in the penitentiary have told
on his appearance. His face is yellow in
color and cheeks sunken and there is a
peculiar look in his eye.

day and when court adjourned tonight
there were still but eleven jurors in the
box. The case viii be taken up tomorrow

summation OF the Smelter and reduction
works deal. John A. Shettle,, western
agent of the Chicago company, which
proposes to put IN the plant, returned to
Ogden today and says he comes FULLY pre-
pared to carry out his part of the agree

gives as his reason that too much has al
ready been said and the people are losing
or have lost faith in the enterprise. The
5tringency of the money market has, ne
says, delayed matters some, but. the

any unnecessary delay.
