the pair OF robbers, guilty, yesterday
They left his punishment to be fixed
by the court and the time for passing
sentence was set for week from to-
day. At the conclusion Of the short
mans trial, Frank White. the long
man, made up his mind to plead
guilty and he will be sentenced at the
same time as his partner.
When the trial of Howard was re-
summed yesterday morning the prosecu-
ton secured permission from the court
to amend the information to CORE

Tin of the property taken from Joyce
Marshal Tebo was recalled to identify
some of the stuff found on the scene
Of the robbery.

ness and Mr. Yancey objected to his
testimony on the ground that his name
had not been endorsed on the informa-
ton.
Under former rulings Of this court.
whether correct or not" said Mr.. Yam
cey, the state mas been allowed to
endorse the names Of witnesses after
defendants had pleaded. but il is GER
tadnly most unfair TO n defendant to
bring In new witnesses in the eleventh
hour and at the close of the prosecu-
TONS case"
The court said the witness would be
permitted 10 testify. Mr.. Yancey made
the further objection then that 1t had
not been shown that the testimony of
the witness was material
Wait till you hear II and you'll
know the materIality of it," said Mr.
Booth.
Snaveley testified that he was at the
city Jail when White and Howard were
brought In and that he picked up a
bloody revolver in the alley at the
head of the stairs. one chamber Of the
weapon was empty. lie identified the
revolver in evidence as the one he
picked up.
The state announced the close Of It's
case and Mr.. Yancey told the Jury
what he expected 10 prove. He said
the state had introduced much testl-
mony about blood on the two prisoners
but he believed he would be able TO
prove that the blood did not come from
rat Joyce; that this little man How
ard had the marks on his hands now
10 show where the blood came from.
and 1t would be shown that he met
with an accident by falling on a rail
road trestle while on his way from
Anaconda to Butte and that White. i'm
assisting him, got some Of the blood /
ON his clothes. Mr.. Yancey also prom |
Used 10 show by the testimony of pby- /
sicians the condition Of the defendant /
when he was arrested and to prove his /
whereabouts at the time of the rob
berry.
