Yesterday produced the evidence on which
Lester ". Wyman was discharged as a
conductor and which formed the basis OF
lis claim for 900 damages for defan1a-
ron OF character. This was filed with a
demurrer to Wyman's second complaint,
which was overruled by Judge Humes.
The new documents in the case show
that the company employed a detective
from the Thiel agency to watch the con-
cucrors. and gave a copy OF his trip report
which Is the document Wyman claims in
sured his character. The company now
sets forth that no one saw this report ex-
cept the executive committee of the COM

report is OF q trip made on the railroad on

stolen fares were collected IN different
parts Of the car. two in the front end and
one on the rear platform, two from men
ard one from n woman. This is very ex-
srt, but the company goes on to admit
that car No. was assigned TO the plain

DEATH TOOK THE WITNESSES.
Evidence I'm Banister Murder Case Al
most All Removed by Accident.


The state Is likely 70 be short Of wit
nesses In the prosecution OF David BANS
ter for the murder OF old Thomas Day on
September -. for two OF them, George W.
Smailey and John Glover. were among the
rescuers at the recent fire ar the mine,
who are now buried IN f., and r. 81. Gfb-
son, another important witness. WAS killed
az the boiler explosion at Green river
slope on October s.
The case against Banister is one Of cir
crmssantial evidence entirely. He board
ed with the murdered man, Day, and some
scandal arising, Day ordered him TO leave.
He did So but kept up his intimate rela-
tons with Mrs. Day. and then the hus-
band left his wife and home. 3anister
then returned TO his old quarters with
Mrs. Day. and some days after Ter hus-
band was found murdered at the fan
where he worked.
r. N. Gibson, who me. his death az the
boiler, lived 30 feet below Days house.
and his wife was a niece of Day. The
murder occurred during Sunday night.
The following morning at o'clock Glib
son heard OF IL. and Immediately returned
TO inform his wife. He found Banister at
the from. gate talking to Mrs. Gibson.
Calling his wife by her first pame he
said: Uncle Thomas was murdered last
night up al the fan" HIS wife said: 1T
is not possible, is it?' Gibson told the
story OF the murder. and he would have
testified had he lived that while re told
1t Banister never asked question or made
any remark whatever in respect to the
tragedy.
Gibson was also witness as 70 the find
ing of the club with which the murder Is
believed 10 have been committed. on a
by-path leading north from the fan, and
on which the footprints were discovered
which, the state holds. correspond with
the shoes Banister wore. The club Is also
claimed 10 have belonged TO BanIster and
this was a point on which Gibsons testi-
mony was expected.
George Smalley. who led the Inflated
party OF rescuers In the recent Franklin
mine disaster. and whose body has not
yet been recovered. was even more inn
portant witness. He was one of the first
who visited the fan after the murder, and
II was he who discovered the foot marks
leading TO the spot where the club was
found. and who covered over those foot
marks with sheets OF iron to preserve
them for Identification. Suspicion lad al
ready turned on Banister. and Assistant
Superintendent Hawkins requested Small
ley TO aid the constable in keeping en- eye
on Banisters movements. His testimony
was very material 10 the state. as it was
due 10 his statements that Banister was
arrested.
The evidence looked for from John Clio
yer, whose body is still unreeovered. was
OF a more general character, and princi-
pally corroborative only.

TWO TRAINS TO PORTLAND.
Service to Be Given by the
Northern Pacific.

A night train from Seattle TO Portland
is likely to be one of the earliest changes
in Northern Pacific passenger traffic, and
it is learned on good authority that such
a change will be inaugurated within a
few weeks. There is also in early contem-
plation a train service between this city
and Tacoma that will reduce the time 10
one hour. The travelling public has long
awaited better service. both between Sc
attic and Portland, and Seattle and Ia
coma, and both changes or schedule VIII
be gladly received. BY reducing the time
10 one hour between this city and Tacoma,
the Northern Pacific promises 10 cut into
traffic by water, which at its best cannot
make the run in 20.
Yesterday there was conference by
Receiver Andrew +. Burleigh, General
Manager G. W. Dickinson and Assistant
General Freight Agent 8. G. Fulton, but
the results OF the meeting have not yet
been announced. The officials also met

Mr. Dickinson came TO the city hurried
ly. in response 10 a summons from Mr..
Burleigh and left on the overland at 40

Pacific;
Lately have been over the road many
times, and ! can say il is the one trans
continental line. IL never was In better
physical condition than at present. and
one could almost make any time he
pleased. / say this from a thoroughly I'M
prejudiced standpoint
Since the appointment OF Mr.. Burleigh
as receiver Mr.. Dickinson has been serv-
ing in various capacities until he might al
most be termed a railroad Poo-Bah- In
St Paul recently. after stating that he
was working in harmony with Mr.. Ken
drick as general manager. he was asked
TO whom he reported His answer was:

manager Of the West end OF the line,
west of the Eastern boundary OF Mon
tana. I report 10 the receivers. and To
Judge Beatty. I'm Idaho. where as yet no
receiver has been appointed.
Since the above was printed. Judge Beat
" has appointed Mr.. Burleigh receiver Of
the Northern Pacific in Idaho. and the
latter has extended Mr.. Dickinson's au-
thorfty 80 that now he has control Of the
entire west end Of the line.
