THE ARGUMENTS BEGIN
In the Long Drawn Out Murder Trial
Of Big Jim

If any of the witnesses, on either
side, in the Chinese murder trial escape
without having their characters badly
ripped up the back by the lawyers
they will indeed be fortunate.
George Phibbs. esq.,, of counsel for
the prosecution, opened on argument
yesterday at exactly 10 o'clock, and At
torney Rush followed for the defence.
Then Attorney Appel threw another
verbal lance for the prosecution, and
then-well, then both court and jury
were tried and the case was adjourned
until Monday when there will be fur
ther flow of forensic eloquence.
But before the arguments yesterday
ed at an exceptionally early hour The
there was a little fun. For court open
defence put little Johnny Haizlip upon
the stand to contradict the statement
of Miss Tillman regarding her conver-
sation with his brother when, as she
claimed, Mr.. Eaizlip stated positively
that he had identified Big Jim, at the
Jail, as the murderer. of Wong Chez
Johnny gave his testimony all right
that els, all right for the defence, and
then LIE Compte Davis again raised a
cry for Lyman, the patrolman, who was
the second man at the scene of the
killing. Counsel claimed that they had
not subpoenaed Lyman when the case
opened because he understood that the
prosecution would put him upon the
stand. The prosecution, upon it's side.
claimed that after they heard that
Lyman had switched away from his
original statement they didn't care to
bother with him. But the defence did
care to bother with him and stated that
a bench warrant had been issued on
Friday but no satisfactory return had
been made as Lyman could not be found.
In such case the defense wanted to read
Lyman's testimony, given at the pre-
iiminary examination. and TO this cause

at 1:S0 yesterday afternoon arrested

him at the city Jail on charge Of maxi
ing threats to kill.
Ecker states that Fricker came into
the saloon where he was working, in
company with stranger considerably
under the influence of liquor. He mis-
trusted the purpose Of Fricker and
warned the stranger to look out for his
money and go home, which he did At
this Fricker became angry and made
threats against Etter, swearing he
would kill him for interfering in his af-
fairs.
Believing that Fricker might attempt
to carry his threats into execution Etter

Quite large number of taxpayers
who are ordinarily Entitled to vote have
been much exercised in mind lately by
the knowledge that there existed a pos
sibility of their vote being challenged
or thrown out. These gentlemen are
those who have changed their resi-
dence within the thirty days next pre-
ceding the day of election"
County Clerk Newlin, also, has been
somewhat puzzled regarding the status
of these electors, and in order to have
the matter definitely settled and relieve
the suspense of all interested, he ad-
dressed a communication on the 23d
inst. to the district attorney. In it he
asked whether or not "if voters name
should appear upon the great register,
but not appear upon the proper precinct
in which he may reside, he is entitled
to vote at coming election, or is he de-
prived Of his vote on account of not
being registered in the precinct in which
he lives?"
In reply to this query, Chief Deputy
Attorney Holton yesterday forwarded
the following opinion, which will carry
comfort to the hearts Of many resident
taxpayers. who have been much dis
turbed at the thought that they would
lose their votes
Section 1888 Of the political code of
as follows:
Every male citizen of the United
States, every male person who shall
have acquired the right Of citizenship
under or by virtue of the treaty of
Queretaro, and every male naturalized
citizen thereof, who shall have become
such ninety days prior to any election,
of the age of q years, who shall have
been resident of the state one year
next preceding the election, and of the
county in which he claims his vote
ninety days, and in the election precinct
thirty days, and whose name shall be en-
rolled on the great register of such
county fifteen days prior to an election,
shall be qualified elector at any and all
elections held within the county, city
town or district within which such
elector resides.
Section 2. All acts or parts Of acts
in conflict herewith are hereby repealed
Section 8. This act shall take effect
immediately
This section has not been repealed
nor amended and & now the law govern
ing the qualifications Of electors in this
state.
Il am. therefore. of the opinion that
any person, who is otherwise qualified,
who has resided in the election precinct
thirty days prior to the. election and
whose name is enrolled on the great
register of the county Is entitled to vote
at that precinct In determining the
question as to his residence in the pre-
cinct l will call your attention to sub
division Of section 1899, which reads as
follows:
"A person must not be held by reason
OF having moved from one precinct to
another in the same county, within thir-
ty days prior to the election, to have lost
his residence in the precinct so moved
from, provided he was an elector there
in on the thirtieth day prior to such
election"

THE BABY ACT.
A Racetrack Plunger That Objects to
Paying for His Fun.

w. J. Anderson ran UP against sure
thing game at the racetrack recently
and gained a varied amount of expert
ence at an expenditure of $40.
The seductive and enticing game was
played with dice upon a table prettily
marked off with numbers. which repre-
sented-or were supposed to represent
the amount that would be won II the
dice turned right side up. The blamed
things never would turn right side up,
however, and that is where Anderson
saw an opportunity to register vigor-
Gus kick. He swore to complaint
charging one Harry Braley with seduc-
ing $40 from his pockets "by trick ami
Device" and the latter was brought up
in the township court yesterday.
Justice Young set Braley's examina
ton for the 31st inst. and held him in
$500 bail. Bondsmen were obtained and
Braley was restored to liberty.

the prosecution would accede II, in turn,
the defence would permit them to put
Detective Brad1sh upon the stand for
the purpose of impeaching Lyman's tes-
timony
Such suggestion almost sent the de-
fence into a fit and counsel indulged in
wordy warfare over the matter for
several minutes, until called to order by
the court.
Judge Smith said 1t was a most extra
ordinary state of things. First the
prosecution wanted this particular wit
ness and the defence didn't; then the
prosecution didn't want him and the
defence was just as earnest for his ap-
pearance. until at last neither Of them
seemed to want him.
AS argument could not be reached,
Lyman was allowed to remain sub rosa,
and the arguments began.
