WHAT THE WITNESSES SAY

Sressor. Judge woody this afternoon
sentenced him to Imprisonment i'm the
Deer Lodge penitentiary for five years
at hard labor. During a recess in the
Gieim trial this afternoon. the sheriff
brought Junk Hue into court Jim
Soc. big jim" acted as Interpreter
ana with his assistance Judge Woody
addressed the following remarks to the
prisoner: You have entered a plea of
guilty TO the crime of breaking into a
building in which persons were living
and sleeping at the time Have you
anything to say why l should not pro-
nounce sentence upon you?"
Junk Hue said that he had nothing
20 say and Judge Woody continued:
The penalty for the crime that you
have committed is Imprisonment for
not less than one or more than Is years
shall not give you the lightest SEN
tence or the heaviest, but will sentence
you to five years Imprisonment in the
western penitentiary at Deer Lodge. at
hard labor"
This was translated TO Junk Hue and
he received ii with the same ugly
scowl that he has worn since coming
up from Thompson Falls. His wounded
arm seemed to pain him more than
usual as he held II in his uninjured
hand all the time that he was in the
court room. His companion Old Sing
Lee, will probably have TO stand trial
on another Indictment
There was not room in the court room
to-day for the crowd of curiosity seek
ers who wanted TO watch the progress
OF the Gleim trial. and Bailiff McCor-
mick had his hands full i'm preserving
order. The trial went off smoothly and
expeditiously and both sides conducted
stubborn fights. At the opening OF the
case this morning the cross examina-
ton or the complaining witness
French Emma" was resumed The
questions asked by Mr.. Wood indicated
that the line of defense would be as
forecast in the Standard to-day-that
Mrs. Glenn had been attacked and that
the assault upon French Emma was
committed in self-defense. French EN-
ma, however. adhered closely to the
story that she had told on examination.
and her testimony was not shaken. In
connection with this witness story and
that told by another witness, the at
torneys for the defense offered to show
that they were prostitutes i'm order TO
affect the credibility of their testimony.
The state objected and the objection
was sustained. The defendant took
exception TO the ruling i'm each in
stance.

the Injuries received by the woman on
the night of the assault. Edna Mann. |
a woman of the row, testified as to |
hearing a noise I'm Mrs Gleim's house |

Emma. officer Larson testified as TO |
his knowledge OF the fight at Mrs |
Gleim's and to the arrest of the pris- |
oner afterwards. He knew little as 10 |
the actual occurrences during the as |
sault, as he did not arrive upon the |
scene until ii was all over

complaining witness He told of hear
ing noise and Of seeing Mrs Glenn |
strike French Emma with her fist and |
with bottle He also testified that |
Mrs Glenn called on him To bring her
knife. He did not do it. on cross
examination the boy was sharply ques-
toned. but his first statement was not
shaken. Bonnie Boon is the boy who
was wanted as a witness for the de-
Tense and who was brought from Bo-
nita by the sheriff's officers on We'd
nesday night. The defense charges the
prosecution of Mrs. Glenn with at
tempting TO get Bonnie out Of the way
and with influencing his testimony !
when they found that this was not pos
sible.

Mrs. Glenn pounding French Emma.
ON cross-eNamination. this boy became
somewhat confused as to the time and
some OF the details Of the AFFAIR. but
he adhered To his statement regarding
the pounding. Nothing could shake him
on that score.
