While he was there crowd of men
called. There were about twenty-five

Hartnell raped on the door, Men
staid there five or ten minutes. Saw

On cross examination it was shown
that Demund had attempted to tamper
with the child several times. She is Ii
years of age; and had also made similar
attempts on a younger sister; who is
aboIt 9 years old. Mrs. Sibley saw the
attempt upon the younger sister. Did
not recognize any of the men in the
crowd.
William Demund was recalled inn
mediately after the noon recess. He
was brought back for REORGANIZATION.
Said Clark was one of the men who
followed witness down the railroad
track.
On e-cross examination he failed to
identify in any way Thomas Clark. He
gave about fifteen or twenty addresses
in the Dakotas where he had lived and
showed he had never lived anywhere
very long. After this branch of the
examination closed Demund was asked
if he desired to make a statement re-
garding Mabel Sibley's testimony. He
stated that he had been lied against
and never had wrong intention with
reference to the girls.
District Attorney Buckmaster en-
tered a motion to discharge Defendant
Thomas Clark. Justice Slater an
nounced his discharge.
Then a motion was entered that all
the rest of the defendants be bound
over to the circuit court.
Attorney Fisher at once entered
motion to discharge. In support of his
motion he said that he did not believe
there was probable cause to believe
the defendants guilty. He admitted
that crime had been committed, how
ever, but that none of the defendants
had been identified
After Mr. Fisher had argued his mo-
ton Mr.. Buckmaster went over all the
testimony and urged that the defend
ants be held.
D. c. Lloyd argued the matter a
moment and then Justice Slater denied
the motion of the defendants attorneys
and held them to trial except Joseph
Minis, who was also discharged.
On motion OF District Attorney Buck
master, James Pease was also dis
charged.
The rest we're placed under bonds of
5000 apiece.
