THIS MORN NG.
The case against Herman Burmester
accused of embezzling a $500 check at
Eureka, the property of a butcher firm
by whom he was employed, was tried
in part.
The grand jury then filed into court
and presented their final report and
seven indictments found under the ter
rltorial law. One of these indictments
was against some person not yet arres-
ted, accused of larceny, one was
against the man Griffin accused of rob-
berry done at Eureka lately, and one
against William Twelvess of this city,
accused of some sort of illegal manipu-
lation of the books of Samuel Llddiard
& Co., when he was employed as book
keeper for that firm. The other four
were against VIM. Wilson, Nate Mel
baur, VIM. Marsh and S. NJ. Duggins,
all of PROVO, accused Of perm lifting
gaming.
The grand jury after receiving the
thanks of the court for their services
were discharged from further services
at present, to convene again on April
9Th unless otherwise instructed before
that time. There will not be another
grand jury empaneled until September
next, and it is understood that there
have some important cases developed
recently that may need investigation
by grand jury before September.
The grand jury also reported that
they had ignored tie charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses against
Hatch, Halliday and Caldwell. 1t will
be remembered that plior grand jury
indicted these persons and that the
indictment was beaten on demurrer.
1t will be remem befed also that these
parties were accused of sailing the no.
torious Dead Mans mine near the
Uintah resery alton. 1t will appear
then that we are to believe that
they did not salt the mine.
1t is not explained to US however just
how it was that assays from the barren
rock out of that mine at first ran so
high, nor is it proven just how much
money Messrs. NJ. M. Warner, George
g. Whitmore, D. II. Peery Jr., ct al lost
in the well remembered boom" that
followed.
With reference to gambling in Provo
the city administration of Provo was
raped hard upon the knuckles by the
grand jury, who reported that it is use
less heavy expense upon the territory
to call upon grand jugs to investigate
alleged gaming ofen5es within the city
when the municipal officers could if
they would control it. The method
the officers adopted in handling the
gaming cases they recently took up
was criticised.
The case of the People vs.. Rachel
Davis accused of adultery was then
taken up. Mrs. DAVIS is of Payson; her
maiden name was LuyeleSs. The other
party to the alleged crime is Charles
Patten Of Payson. Mr.. and Mrs. Davis
have not been divorced, but they heye
lived apart for about two years, he re-
siding at Lake Shore and she at Pay
son. In November last Mr.. Patten had
d preliminary hearing on a charge of
adultery in Commissioner Shoots
court and WIS bound over to await the
action of the grand jury. Patten is
still in Payson; when his case was
brought before the grand jury, that
body mot the present grand jury ig-
nored the charge,
Mrs. Davis testified before the COM
missioner that Patten is the father of
the child she Carries. This evidence
went against her during her trial this
