OGDEN. June Especial. l-Eugene
Borei, the slayer Of George Lewis, was
this morning released from the custody
of the United States marshal and given
his full liberty, Judge Miner having de-
cided that he is not insane-now at least.
Borel will probably return to Wyoming
and again take charge of herd OF sheep
Tor his old employer.
The Borel case was taken up immedi-
ately alter the Fourth district court con-
vened this morning. DIR. Adams was
still too i'll to make his appearance in the
court room and the defense again objected
TO the court adjourning to the DOCTORS
quarters for the purpose of taking the
experts testimony. Judge Miner did
not desire to decide the case upon the
evidence then IN and requested that more
witnesses be sworn. Deputy Marshal
Gill took the stand and stated that he had
been unable TO discover any signs OF IN
sanity in the defendant and in his opinion
he was as sane as any man, except that
his mind was not as light as those of
men whose calling in tle required their
mental exercise to p reat Qe -ree.
The court req ested Judg re Rhodes,
for the defense, take the stand. but
the attorney declin ad and in lurn asked
Mr.. Allison to he sworn and give his
opinion OF the case. Mr.. Allison said
he did not care to be sworn, but he would
say that it WAS his unqualified opinion
that Borel had never been crazy or even
mentally unbalanced a moment in his
lie. There being no further testimony
IN the case, Judge Miner adiudged the
.Frenchman to be perfectly sane and
ordered his release.
Before Borel left the court room free
man the judge gave him some splendid
advice and stated that while he had
passed through some trying scenes, ne
had no right to take the law into his own
hands, but, that inasmuch as jury of
twelve men had decided that he was in
sane at the time he fired the fatal shot, he
was blameless in the eyes of the law and
could commence anew without a stain
upon his character and good name. Borel
was much affected by the little talk, as
GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.
Judge Miner has found Henry Whet-
stone guilty of contempt of court and the
deputy marshal viii be arraigned for
sentence tomorrow morning. Meanwhile
Whetstore is out on 81, 600 bonds.
