William Lewis. the man who several
years ago, while a raving maniac,
shot and killed Barber Gier at Sandy,
and who since until recently was an in
mate of the insane asylum, was ar
raigned in Judge Streets court yester-
day.
Lewis, some three months ago, was
discharged from the asylum as cured,
and was at once taken charge of by
the sheriff and held to answer to the
crime of numbering Gier.
The point was raised that the man
was still insane, or at least had never
been pronounced sane by component
board and, therefore, in the eye of the
law was still insane.
The proceedings yesterday were more
in the nature of an amicable investiga-
ton to get at the truth than an or
binary trial of a case at law. The
state was represented by Assistant
County Attorney Eichnor and the de-
PENDANT by Attorney Pence. A jury was
empaneled to decide the mental con-
dition of the unfortunate man and quite
a number of witnesses were examined.
DR.. Meacham and Dr. Robertson tes-
titled as experts that Lewis was still
suffering from the delusion that Gier,
whom he murdered, was going to kill
him, and both gentlemen considered
that the state of his mind was such
that it would be altogether unsafe to
allow him to be at large. Lewis was
examined and appeared sane on all
points except that he thought he had
been pursued by people, especially Gier,
who wanted to take his life. w. W.
Wilson, E. E. Hartvicksen, A White
B. G. Ward, w. l. Vincent and C. D.
Rogers, mostly residents of Sandy,
We're also examined and testified as to
Lewis halluciHation.
The jury retired and in less that five
returned a verdict that the
man was insane and irresponsible, and
his honor sent him back to the insane
asylum.
Lewis is a sturdy little Welshman,
with long, black beard reaching far
down his breast. He looks little pale
and morose and physically appears to
be as strong as bull.

living as he goes. He expects to reach

be compelled by his contract to forfeit

To my comrades and to all who love
and trust me:
From the first you have helped the
hunted Armenians by your prayers;
your sympathy and your honest hard
work Thousands of them are today
in comfort or in safety because of the
intelligence and devotion which you
have wrought for our Christian
brothers and sisters and the little
children on the bleak and dangerous
hill sides and in those valleys smitten
by outrage and murder. 1t is a blessed
fact that patient continuance in we'll

white ribboner. for we must do our
first works over again. and more
Also Hereafter the Armenians can
never feel a sense of safety; at least
not in our time. The more forceful
among them are determined to risk
all in the effort to reach freedom, and
While II IS not for US to strengthen
this purpose on their part, we must
hold ourselves in readiness to help the
refugees who are constantly escaping
from the dominion of the Turk But we
must noS Clet this work cause us to
cease sending help to the shelterless
and starving who remain in that hap
less country. We must give money
to establish industrial homes and or
phanageS for the women and children,
but II must be apparent to all that if
for the starving refugees, we have at
the same time helped to set the Armen-
ian people on their feet and to put new
hope in their hearts for the future
The sorrowful and outraged women
can do but little for their nation The
vigorous and forceful families and
youth viii have the energy and skill to
save themselves alive by making their
escapes, and are full of promise for the
years to come. They are devoted to the
interests of their country and are de-
termined 10 live rather than die for
her. Thousands of them are penniless
today in Bulgaria, Alexandria, Mar
settles and all along the border of the
accused Turkish empire which only
the rapacity of the great powers suffer
to blot the map of a world that is
Frightening into peace and brother
hood.
1t is the purpose of the leaders YOU
have chosen and who believe they are
but carrying forward your wishes into
deeds to establish a home for refugees
at some strategic point, probably in
Bulgaria, which shall belong to the
Worlds w. c. T. T., and shall testify
to the LOYALTY and tenderness of our
society towards those who most needed
our help at a time when the hearts of
the whole world was stirred by their
unutterable misery
May I not. in closing, urge upon
all good people the significance of do
mating their Christmas aims. this
year at least, for the most

lake. shore, in Davis county, also for
consideration of 1000 shares of the cap
ital stock of the American Natural Gas

deeds to the property in favor of the
company.

gas company was reorganized under the
name of the New American Natural
Gas and Fuel company, and the new
organization was responsible for the
debts Of the old company and sue
ceeded to all it's property The plain
tiff never received the stock certificate
for the shares In exchange for the
land, and prays that defendants be
compelled to issue certificates for 900
shares or pay at the rate of 50 a share

eral denial of every material allega-
ton of the complaint
The hearing was in progress when
court adjourned until this morning.
