by water-spout last Saturday, in which
twelve persons were drowned. The low

TO BE A BITTER LEGAL FIGHT
Judge Mount Retired From the Bench
because of Peculiar Allegations
as to His Opinions.

Symes was called at 10 o'clock this
morning and both sides announced
themselves ready for trial. M. o. Reed
Of Colfax. attorney for the defense. OBJ
jected to Judge Mount OH the ground
that he subscribed to fund for the
capture Of Symes and that he had made
remarks tending to justify mobs in
such cases as that Of the Conlee MUIR
der. Mr.. Reed claimed that these stor-
les were circulated by S. E. DeRackin
and others Of Sprague and when called
upon to sign affidavits to that effect
they had hung back. He therefore SUBJ
mitted the matter on the affidavit of
the defendant alone.
Judge Mount conceded the point and
vacated the bench to Judge William
III. Upton Of Walla Walla. This is re-
garded by the defense as a point in
their favor.
The work Of securing jury then be-
gan and continued all day and when
court adjourned, at 3 p. M. not juror
had been accepted and not a perempt-
DRY challenge used. The examination
of Jurors was very monotonous, but the
intense interest felt in the case was
shown by the fact that the large court
room was literally packed all day and
the sheriff and court bailffs had much
difficulty in keeping the passages clear
OF the crowd. In the afternoon a good

distant points and the hotel facilities
are greatly taxed.
Ritzville, Wash, Nov. 13.-Sixty men
have now been examined for jurors in
the Symes case and two peremptory
challenges used and yet not single
one has been finally accepted. An order
for another venire is returnable to-
morrow. The prosecution has employed
J. w. Merritt Of Sprague, who arrived
at II a. m. today and Immediately took
a prominent part.
The defense claim they will show that
Conlee at different times offered money
to Adams county officials If they would
arrest Symes, and also that he was a
very bitter and overbearing man and
frequently mistreated and abused pris-
Oners in his charge and that Symes
bore good reputation as a law abiding
man. The main line of the defense will
be either self-defense, pure and SIM
pie. or that Conlee had no warrant or
authority and that as soon as they had
crossed the county line Symes informed
him that his authority ceased and that
he would go on about his business.
whereupon Conlee attempted to re-
strain him and the shooting resulted.
This information is from a reliable
source.
