The Willy Jeweler Scores at Least
a Temporary Point
ALLEGED NEW EVIDENCE
BY Which He Hopes TO Escape in the
Steele Case
Charles Salisbury Committed to the High
lands Asytum-Novel RepIevin Suit
Charged With Forgery-Notes

Charles D. Plat, the jeweler, who has
figured in the courts, both federal and
state, in more roles than perhaps any other
nan in the county, was in a cheerful
frame of mind yesterday, for he had
gained temporary advantage at least in
his latest unleasantness.
Platt, it will be remembered, was con-
victed of malicious mischief. both in the
magistrates court and afterward on ap-
peal before Judge Smith. 1t was alleged
that Platt threw some acid over lot of
clothing in the store of a secondhand
dealer named Steele, where he had been
allowed to put his workbench. 1t was
claimed that the act was done in spirit
of revenge because Steele would not let
him remain. After his final conviction
Platt asked for new trial, OH the
ground that he had discovered new
evidence that would put different COM
plexion on the case. The matter was con-
I;nued by Judge Smith until yesterday
morning, when the alleged new evidence
was presented in the form of an affidavit
by c. b Atkins.
Atkins alleges in his affidavit that he
was Well acquainted with PDatt, and on
August 18th, the day of the alleged affair,
Platt was in his shirt sleeves when the af-
fiant was in his place of business at 3lS
South Main street Platt and gentleman
on crutcbes went out of the store at a late
hour in the afternoon. "While Mr.. Platt
was out,'' continued Mr. A tkins, IAN ex-
pressman came in and carried out
a chest of drawers belonging to
Mr.. Platt. l remained in his place
of business looking at his jewelry
catalogue. anti laid it down near, or in. the
window, and went to the closet. While
there heard some one moving around in
Mr., Platt's place of business. Thinking it
was Mr.. Platt. ] looked out of the door
of the closet through the window. into
the room Mr.. Platt had occupied or was oc-
cupying. and saw Charles Steele walking
around the room; in his hand was the cat
aioeue that had laid down before leaving
the loom. Mr.. Steele passed out of the
room to back door, near by the closet,
while I was in. | saw him throw some-
thing IN the back yard. On examination
found it to be small vial. l then went
back into the room of Mr.. Platt. In few
moments Mr. Platt came in and put on
his coat, and he and l together walked
out"
The implication sought to be conveyed
by this affidavit is that the vial alluded to
is the one containing the acid and that
Steele was engaged in destroying his own
property when Atkins espied him through
the closet window.
There was little tiff between Deputy
District Attorney James and Attorney APP
pei for the defense, the latter sharply critl-
cizing the methods in the lower courts by
which cases were delayed. Mr.. James re-
kented the insinuation that due dlt1gence
was not used. and the matter dropped.
Judge Smith then set aside the order
affirming the judyment to give the defend :
ant an opportunity to present proper
statement on appeal.
