Especial to The Herald)
BOISE, Idaho, July Ex-senator Dubois
and Congressman Wilson returned to
Boise today. They were greeted by one
of the largest popular demonstrations in
the history of the state, some delegations
bringing local brass bands, and the re-
ception, which was non-partisan, was
most enthusiastic and cordial. The town
was wild with excitement, and the names
of the distinguished members of con-
gress with those of the Democratic ma
tional candidates, bursts from thousands
of threats in a grand if discordant an
them.
Senator Mantle and Congressman Hart
man of Montana were expected, but to
the great disappointment of the crowd
were unable to be present.
At night big procession was followed
by open-air speeches to an immense
crowd by Senator Dubois, Congressman
Wilson and prominent Democrats and
Populists.
]. H. Hawley, Democrat, presided at the
meeting.
Senator Dubois stated he realized the
demonstration was not personal, but that
it was extended because of his work in
!
his fight against the bill to repeal the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act; for
his constant stand in the interest of BIZ
metalliSm.
you greet me-" he said, because I
voted against the Dingley bill, so-called-
a measure designed chiefly to stop the
agitation of the silver question. L in
tended to and did serve notice by that
vote that from that hour on, so far as 1
was concerned, the restoration of silver
was to receive my first consideration.
Republicans, myself among the number,
have constantly assured the people that
their best hope for silver lay in their
steady support of the Republican party,
and because the people believed this they
have kept that party in power in the
state. Now that the great national Dem
ocTatic party, as comprising nearly one
half the voters of the United States, has
declared squarely and unequivocally for
what we have been contending for, is
there any good reason why we should
not accept this added support, which will
make our causes invincible, and do our
utmost to aid in the election of it's candi-
dates? No other course would demon
strate that we have been fighting for
partiSanShip represents. The Republican
party admits, in it's last national plat
form, the advantages of bimetallism, for
while declaring for the single gold stand
ard, it pledges itself to force an inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world. If BIZ
metallism is wrong, why should they
desire to bring it about? The whole
point involved in the great controversy
is as to whether the United States can
legisiate alone, or whether it must wait
, the will and pleasure of competing and
hostile nations.
In concluding, the senator said:
Now, a word in conclusion. 1t is not
necessary for me to join the Democratic
party nor do 1 intend to do SO; but so
long as the Republican party advocates

the death of James, but agrees with

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-Joe
Choynski and Peter Maher met at the
Baldwin hotel and had a friendly talk
over the pugilistic outlook. Buck
Connolly, Makers manager, was pres
ent and SO was Edward Creaney.
Choynski's friend and adviser AS a

horsemen, are organizing big boxing
club which is to begin opera lions as
soon as the Horton bill goes into eff
feet. He has been given to understand
that the new organization will make
a handsome bid for the Choynski-
Maher fight, and on the strength of
his convictions he has given Choynski
MS nj personal assurance that at least
$4,000 will be hung up when the fight
ers come together in New York.

There were no fractures of the skull
and no outward appearances from
which to determine the cause of the
rupture. Still it was evident
that it was not case of apoplexy.
ORGANS WE'RE HEALTHY.
The body was in a perfect condi-
ton physically. The heart was not
examined, still there was nothing to in
dictate physical defects in the makeup
of the body.
THE INQUEST.
ATT o'clock last night an inquest over
the remains was held at Coroner Often
bach's office. John H. Baily, Leo Hol-
lander and c. E. Hudson composed the
jury. Assistant County Attorney Waite
conducted the examination in a fair
manner, becoming a public prosecutor.
BROTHER OF THE DECEASED.
George Carter, a brother of the de-
ceased, was first placed on the stand,
and testified that the body was that of
his brother, whose true name was
James. His evidence all went to show
the condition of his brother when he
entered the ring and during the pro-
gress of the contest.
DIR. DALBY.
DR.. w. T. Daley, who attended Car
ter a short time after the contest, was
next called. He was summoned TO the
Athletic club rooms between u and l
O'Clock yesterday morning and found
the deceased in an unconscious condi-
ton. He described the outward APP
pearances Of his person none of which
were serious enough to cause death.
He paid a second visit about 8 O'Clock
and Carriers condition then seemed
greatly improved.
DIR. BOWER.
DR.. A. s. Bower, another physician
who was in attendance upon Carter,
gave testimony corroborative of that
produced by DR.. Daily.
DEPUTY MAHAN
]. P. Mahan, deputy sheriff, was next
called. He was at the ringside and
witnessed the fight He thought the
last blow was delivered by Thompson
on the point of Carriers chin and caus-
ed the latter to fan backward, his head
striking the floor with great force.
DIR. HARRISON.
-. James n. Harrison was called to
attend Carter shortly after IL o'clock
TUESDAY night. he round him in q.
comatose condition, the symptoms in
dicating conclusion of the brain His
heart was then beating once every
three quarters of a minute, and the
respiration was bad. Some strychnine
was administered and the condition was
improved. When he visited Carter yes
teriay morning eioout s O'Clock he
found the deceased in a much improved
condition.
Are you sure. doctor. that you did
not administer too much of that stTych-
nine, poison, to kill the MANI" asked
one of the jury.
II think the dose gave him was the
only thing that saved him from dying
at once" was the reply
DR.. Harrison said in his opinion
a blow struck with an eight
ounce glove was not sufficient to cause
the condition he found Carter in and
that the conclusion was undoubtedly
a result of the head striking the floor.

the preliminary hearing has been set

is at Brighton at present and is eX-

At the request of the coroner and
county authorities yesterday afternoon
Drs. a. c. Maclean and ]. f Critchlow
made a post norton examination of
Carriers body. The upper portion of
the skull was removed and it was
found that death had resulted from
hemoYnlage Of the brain. A blood
vessel had been ruptured causing a
pressure of blood upon the cerebellum.

RoHNRr G.ARRlEgT,r DEAD.

BALTIMORE. Md. July 9O.-Robert
Garrett, ex-president Of the Baltimore
&c Ohio railroad, died at Deer Park,
Md, at o'clock this morning.
Garrett has been a hopeless invalid
many years. About two weeks ago,
he began to fail, and was removed
from "Uplands,' his country home,
near Baltimore, to Deer Park, in the
hope that a change would benefit him.
On Monday his physical condition
showed a marked change for the worse.
and yesterday it became critical His
end was peaceful The immediate
cause of his death is understood to be
chronic nephritis.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-07-30

from apoplexy or kindred causes but
it might have been the result of
blow A blow struck en- the point OF
the chin might have caused the condi-
ton from which Carter died. A close
examination convinced the witness
that Carter was physically sound in
every respect.
CARL HARD.
Carl Hard was next called He
represented the Tribune at the ring
side, and gave as his opiriou that the
dead body was that of Tom Carter,
who fought in the ring that night Not
being used to prize fights he was pretty
much excited, but remembered distinctly
that the last round lasted two minutes,
twen&y-one and three-ffths seconds.
Witness thought the fall was caused by
the blow on the chin, although he ad-
mitted he did not know to a certainty.
Hard said the referee. at the begin
ming of the fight, announced that the
affair was to be ''gendemanly glove
contest
Neither contestant, he said, displayed
any ill-feeling toward each other dur
ing the fight. Carter struck a blow
very low once and Thompson'S seconds
claimed foul. Thompson then ad-
monished Carter to ''be nice" the
former, however, appearing good
natured at all times.
THE JURY'S VERDICT.
This closed the testimony. The jury
retired and in about an hour returned
verdict as follows:
"The said jurors on their oaths do
say from the evidence that the said
James Carter came to his death on the
18th day of July, 1896. On the evening
1f+ 4, 1f T,,1,-
test in Salt Lake City, Utah, with one
Bob Thompson, the said James Garter
received a blow upon the chin by the
hand of said Bob Thompson. In fan
ing the said Carter struck his head
upon the floor, causing conclusion of
the brain, which caused his death, the
same being accidental, and not felon-
ious."
WAS GENERALLY DISCUSSED.
Tuesday nights encounter and prize
fighting was discussed more than any
other subject yesterday. The general
opinion seemed to be that the fatal re-
suit of the contest will put an end to
glove contests here. The more radical
were inclined to censure the authori-
ties for permitting these contests to
take place. Others regard it as an ac-
cident which, while unfortunate and
to be regretted, occurred through no
direct cause of either the management
of the club or the other principal in
the contest.
There was an amusing side to the
affair, despite its seriousness. There
was a large crowd in attendance at the
contest, and if a list of their names
should be published it would include
some of the most prominent people in
the city When the contest was over
everybody discussed pugilism, but it was
noticed yesterday that not over half a
dozen were willing to acknowledge they
had been in attendance. There is a
law on our statute books designating a
spectator at prize fight guilty of a
nlisdemeanor, and upon conviction is
punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.
Several who were unwilling to have
1t become known that they saw the
fight, called at the county attorneys
Office and volunteered to give the names
OF everyone in attendance, if only their
own would be suppressed. AS the au-
thorities have made no move yet to

MADE TWO CONFESSIONS.

The negro made two confessions,
partly admitting the murder. In his
first confession he said that he had
been intimate with the murdered girl
for whose foster mother he had work
ed several years, that Mrs. Drown had
discovered the fact and had discharged
him. but had reinstated him on he and
the girls promise to quit such actions.
In his second confession he declared
that he had not told the truth when
he asserted that he had had relations
with the girl and declared that he had
outraged and murdered her yesterday;
but stated that he had gone to her
room for the purpose Of making ad-
vances to her, had been Tepulsed, had
choked her into uncOnsciouSness and
then procured a knife from the kitchen
and killed her.
The developments at the coroner's in
quest tended to discredit the most re-
voting part of the Negroes first con-
fession. Mrs. Drown, the foster mother
of the dead girl, testified that
MARGUERITE HAD COMPLAINED
to her last Thursday that Smith had
attempted to kiss her. Several of the
servants also swore that the girl had
called to them and made complaints
that Smith was attempting to kiss her.
Mrs. Drown, in explanation Of Smiths
employment after this occurrence said
that Smith Immediately after it left
the house, but came back the next day,
professed to be exceedingly penitent
and begged to be re-employed. He
had been a good servant for years and
she had finally agreed TO let him come
back On the day of the murder she
and DR.. Miller a boarder, had driven
into town, leaving the girl at home
with the servants. The latter swore
that they heard a noise upstairs in the
girls room, loud enought to attract
attention, but said they could not tell
WHETHER IT WAS A LAUGH OR A
CRY.
A little later Smith came down and
in answer to questions said the noise
they heard was Miss Marguerite laugh
ing at a story he had told her. He had
a basket ON his arm and left the house
at once, saying he was going to a
neighbours for some eggs. The doctor
who performed the autopsy said that
his examination of the body showed
that the girl had been first knocked
down and rendered unconscious by a
blow on the forehead, that she had been
outraged and later killed by the sever
ing of the wind pipe and jugular vein.
The jury promptly returned its verdict
in accordance with the evidence. The
negro servants about the place were
held in custody on suspicion that they
knew more of the affair than they had
disclosed in their testimony.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-07-30

icians who performed the post mortem
examination on Carriers body, said
death was caused by hemorrhage of
the brain, resulting from conclusion.
A man in Carriers condition, tired and
exhausted. would be much more apt
to die from such conclusion than if
in, normal condition. DR.. Mactean said
that hemoTrhage was often caused by
mental excitement, as in the case of
apoplexy, for example.
DR.. CRITCHLOW.
Dr. J. F. Critchlow saw Carter first
when received at St. Marks hospital
He was in an unconscious condition
and never regained his mental func-
lions until he died.
Speaking of the post norton exam
ination, he corroborated DR.. Maclean's
testimony. There was no fracture of
the skull, and blood pressure on the
brain was the cause OF Carriers death.
In his opinion the man did not die
