day afternoon.
Assistant County Attorney Harring-
ton prosecuted and the defendant was
represented by Attorney Gerald F.
Jackson.
AT the outset Mr.. Jackson asked that
the witnesses be admitted to the room
one at a time, SO that they could not
hear each others testimony, as he SAID
he noticed a tendency towards the
dramatic in the conduct of some OF
them.
The court so ordered and also in
structed the deputy sheriff to exclude
the public. as the details were likely to
prove modifying.
Mrs. Green Tells Her story.
The first witness examined was Mrs.
Margaret Green, who, in reply to AS
sistant County Attorney Harrington,
said she lived in Camp lane. she
was at home on Friday, and in the
morning her husband and Storey went
out together. On Saturday morning
about 5 o'clock, when she was laying
in bed with the clothes over her
head, a man came to her room, put OH
his shoes, quietly entered her chaIn-
Der and assaulted her before she knew
who it was She thought it was her
husband. but found to her horror that
she was mistaken and that 1t was the
defendant, Storey. She screamed ana
got away from him and he ran out
towards his tallow factory. The door
of the room was unlocked ana 0-yedr-
old child was sleeping on couch III
the room. She was we'll acquainted
with Storey.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Jackson, wit
ness denied that she had told man
named Robinson another version OF the
tale. Storey had employed her hus-
band to work for him at times ana
they were very intimate. She sald
Storey, when he W. was ID dis 6Uv6pnd
begged her not to tell her huspahu
what had happened.
The witness seemed very much dis
tressed when going into the nauseous
details of the case, but under cross
examination fired up occasionally III
apparent indignation.
Maggie Green, the 10-year-old daugh-
ter of Mrs. Green, SAID sne was
awakened by the banging of the door
and a noise in her mothers room pc
tween 5 and o'clock on Saturday
morning. She did not see anyone
there but her mother. She was crying
and seemed almost crazy. She crleG
all that day, and her father came nome
at o'clock that night.
.I0hn Green, IIlc HuSDd4lQ VI SAtC
woman. told about Storey and himself
going up town on Friday. They re-
NAMED together until about 3 O'Clock
on Saturday morning. They sat down
to rest at the Utah & Nevada depot
and witness fell asleep. When ne
awoke Storey was gone. witness
then went to Storey's house. There
was no one there and witness went in
through the window and slept there
till 10 o'clock in the morning. He
didn't go home then, but spent the day
looking for Storey and was in lgnor-
ance of what had happened until 8
o'clock on Saturday evening when he
went home and his wife told him sub
stantially the same story as she had
related on the witness stand.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Jackson wit
ness said he and Storey had been
drinking, but were not drunk. He
went to Storey's house that night be-
cause Storey asked him to go home
with him as it was nearer than for
Green to go to his own house. He ex-
pected sto find Storey there but didn't.
The Defendants Side.
For the defense Mrs. Margaret A.
Hansen was the first witness eX-
amined She testified that she saw
Storey at North Point about O'Clock
on Saturday morning. He was laying
asleep on the ground with his hands
folded over his breast. That was
about mile and a half from Green's
house Her sister woke him up and
he walked away He was not so drunk
but what he could walk and talk.
John Gilmore resided near Green's
house. On Saturday morning he saw
Storey laying on the ground dead
drunk. He got up and went to the
tallow factory. 1t was just after sun
rise when witness saw him first. Wit
ness said that Mrs. Green's little
daughter told him that her mother had
sent her to tell Storey that the officers
were looking for him, and that ne had
better keep out of the way. Witness
said, well your mother does not want
Storey arrested very badly then" The
girl said she supposed not. Witness
afterwards said he thought that it was
for the purpose of trapping Se-ey that
Mrs. Green had sent the message.
]. 7. Robinson and Charles NJ. Har-
mon were examined but their testi-
mony was unimportant.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas testified to
arresting Storey and to finding him
hiding by the banks of the river.
Storey Couldn't ReeoIIect.
The defendant. on his own behalf,
told how he and Green went out to-
gether on Friday morning and re-
manned in each others company all
day and most of the next night, drink
ing and waiting for news of the Will
liams-Mexican Pete prize fight. Both
he said, go: very drunk and witness
lost Green along about 8 o'clock in the
morning. After that he had no recol-
lection of what he did or where he
went except that along about & o'clock
in the morning he found himself lay
ing on the ground at North Point
near Mr.. Gilmore's place. He
was very drunk and remembered
nothing except that <s<netime before
sunrise he was feeling very
tired and lay down to rest and went
next saw Green to find that he was
angry, but witness had no idea of
what the trouble was.
Witness at first denied hiding from
the officers, but afterwards said that
when he received warning from Mrs.
Green, he thought he would keep out
of the way until after Sunday as ne
thought he couldn't get bonds on Sun
day and didn't want to lay in Jail
longer than he could help.
There was nothing strange about
Robinson bringing him food, he said,
as Robinson frequently cooked meals
for him and brought them, sometimes
to the tallcw factory and sometimes
to where he lived.
This closed the evidence and the
court shortly summed up the case and
held Storey in bonds of 81 800 to await
the action of the grand jury. Storey
was rustling for sureties at last ac-
