ROMAN MURDER CASE TOOK A TURN
The Wife Dismissed and Crnmp Held as
the Real Assassin.


Boise, July 2O.-The mysterious Roman
murder case in Canyon county took an
other turn today. Mrs. Roman, who had
been arrested on a charge of killing her
husband, was released, and Matt Crump
the principal witness against her. was at
once placed under arrest for the crime.
Thomas Roman, whose home was at
Lower Boise, was called out of his house
on the night of May 10 and killed with
an ak. noise was made on the corral
fence as though the stock were entangled
in the wire. Roman went down to see
what was the matter, and the next morn
ing the body was found in a clover field.
1t was at first thought that a tramp had
done the deed. After a time the public
began to suspect Matt Crump. the hired
man, while there was also some suspi-
cion directed against Mrs. Roman. Fin
ally Crump was arrested on complaint OF
Detective Eldridge. While under arrest
he made a sworn statement that Mrs. Ro-
nan committed the deed. that he saw
her do it as he rode up after trip to
Caldwell. Eldridge claimed that Crump
had confessed that he had killed Roman.
Crump was released of the charge, but
held as a witness.
Some weeks later Mrs. Roman was ar
rested, and her preliminary hearing oc-
CURED today. Crump was placed on the
stand instead, however. proving a good
witness for the state.
He apparently surprised the prosecution
| by disclaiming any knowledge of the muir
| der. He claimed to have spent the night
| of the murder at the home of Russell
| Smith, near Caldwell. His attention was
| called to the confession made at Payette
| in which he declared that he saw Mrs
| Roman kill her husband with an ak
| Crump admitted having made and signed
| the statement, but denied having sworr
to it, and also declared 1t was made un
| der duress, and while he was in fear o
| death at the hands of Eldridge. the al
| legged detective. He persisted in this ex
| PLANTATION of his confession.
After repeated questions and denials o
| a similar character Mr.. Smith, for tn
| prosecution, arose and caused sensation
| by moving that the defendant be dismiss
| ed and that Crump be held until a com
| plant could be lodged against him for tn
murder and a warrant be issued. The cour
| granted the motion. and Crump was i'm
| mediately arrested and the date for hi
| examination set for Monday. July 20.

PoPUusT CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
ST. Lawrence, the Blind orator. Doomed
in Parts of Ibis Section.

1
Pullman, July H.-The populist picnic
here on Thursday last has been product
i've in furnishing candidates for the CUB
erantorial contest of 1896, and much talk
in regard thereto is the result. c. W.
Young the standard-bearer of 1892, is re-
ported as being actively in the race and
working hard for the nomination. Belts
name is also mentioned. as well as rep
resentative Neill Cheatham. The prime
favorite, however, in this vicinity seems
to be j. II. st. Lawrence, the blind orator,
who came within one vote in the last
populist convention of being the nominee
for senator in the Sixth district. Mr.. st.
Lawrence is well thought of and known
to be conservative, although he is thor
oughly in sympathy with the populist
cause. Having addressed audiences all
over the state. he is well known to most
of the third party people and has many
supporters among them. 1t is rumored
that he will stump the state of Oregon
from the early part of next January until
the election in June and endeavor to make
as many converts as possible to the cause
he advocates
The party is not satisfied with the show
ing 1t made there last year and will try
in every possible way to swing oregon in
to line at the next election. and to this end
is trying to induce Mr.. ST. Lawrence TO
participate in the campaign.

Her owner believes lie Can Make the
Defender Hustle.
New York, July H.-When the Vigilant
meets the Defender tomorrow she will
carry larger sail than that under which
she appeared yesterday. She will also
have a bigger balloon jib, and it is safe
to presume that the sail area added by
the changes will assist not a little in send
ing the yacht through the water faster
than she went yesterday. Yachtmen are
hoping that tomorrow's event will take
place in a stiff breeze, If not a blow, for
nobody knows definitely what the Defen-
der can do in a heavy wind. Mr. Willard,
who has charge Of the Vigilant. was will
ing to admit that his boat was outsailed
yesterday, but he still holds the opinion
that he can still give the new boat close
race. All sailors who have hitherto been
insistent that center board model was
superior to a keel, point to the fact that
never before was a center board beaten
by a keel, and declare that there must
be further test before they will confess
defeat.

Omaha, July IA special to the Bee

What is going on at Fort Washable
seems to be a military secret Word
comes from there, however. that the In
dian judges and two policemen who were
sent to Jackson's Hole 10 or ~ days ago
returned last night. They report that
they were detained as captives by the
Bannocks for several days, but at last
made their escape. Nothing has transpir-
ed to indicate what their report is, except
that the movement of a small body of
troops from the fort is apparent, as wag-
ons are being loaded with supplies today
and everything is active. Preparations
are going forward for some kind of a
movement. but with only AZ men at the
post 1t will not be a formidable army.
People are indignant that Fort Washable
has been neglected, but they have great
faith that General Coppinger, the new
commander of the department, will recog-
nize that it is an exposed point.
