Prosecution Has Rested and Defense Now
Submitting Testimony.

Prosecution Has Rested and Defense Now
submitting Testimony.
The prosecution In the Hamm case I'm.
lshed submitting evidence yesterday af-
ternoOn and rested. The defense made q
motion that the court take the case away
from the jury. Judge Warren made an
able legal argument In favor OF the mo-
tlon. His contention was that under
the evidence Of Mr.. Putney, Hamm 4
Edie were In partnership with Putrey
and not acting as his clerks or agents
and that II Hamm were q partner, the
facts alleged by the prosecution, even II
true, would only constitute breach OF
trust and not embezzlement, as there had
been no accounting. Mr.. Field COM
meneed an argument against this con-
tentiOn when the court informed him
that he need not proceed as he would not
take case from the jury at that time. An
adjournment was then taken until this
morning.
This morning the defense recalled @.
II. Browne. Mr.. Putney's bOokkeeper, for
further cross examination. When this
was finished II. W. Hamm, thedefendant,
was called 10 the stand. He testified that
at the time the agreement was first made

business, q partnership pure and simple
Was formed between the hrm Hamm Il
Edie and l.. b. Putney, and that Hamm
n kdie we're 10 furnish the money 10 pay
the expenses OF the business. He also
testified that 100 Of the sheep purchased
by him had died at different times and
places, which he specified. Ia most other
particulars his testimony cOrroborated
the figures and statements submitted by
the witnesses for the prosecution.
In the account OF the trial yesterday, II
was stated that v. P. Rdie commenced the
action for the dissolution OF the partner
ship OF Hamm h Edie. This was erron-
eOus. rs the action was commenced By
Mr. Hamm. Harry Lee, as the stenOgra-
pher In the dissolution proceedings. sim
