given and the arrival OF Bennington at the
Casner opened the door and placed Benning-
ton under arrest. Before the lamp was
lighted Halle and others drove up from Vic
tor and witness placed Bennington in Halle 5
care until he went for the sheriff. He heard
about holding up train and the method
by which it could be done, and while he
knew the chief spokesman on such occasions,
he took no part in the discussion himself.
A recess was here taken by the court until
, p. m.
Casner was called to the stand in the
afternoon, and the cross-exa!aination de-
veloped the fact that quite intimate rela-
tions, both business and personal, existed
between himself and Murphy. They were
at one time in the saloon business together
IN Orc Grande. had known each other in
Arizona. and Murphy had appeared as
counsel for witness some four or five years
ago when he was arrested for burglary in
Chino and that Halle had testified in the
ease. The witness was examined at the
time. but was not held for the crime. The
point the prosecution sought to make was
that considering their intimate relations,
the letter described by Murphy was prob
able. though denied by the witness. Cas-
nor also testified on ncross-eXamination that
he went to Helena on a Saturday previous to
the robbery. wrote letter to Toll Jones,
which was sent up to the postoitice by a
man named Halves Witness returned to Orc
Grande Monday. called at the Jones, resi-
dence to lear If Toll received the letter.
Learning that Toll had not been at home he
. ,,De+oHina and l1laI fpr. the
letter but was not certain as to whether or
not he had torn it up
On redirect examinations he was very posi-
tive about the extremely pointed toes OF
Bennington's shoes. Attorney Harris took
Halle to the stand to have Casner point out
to the Jury that Haile's shoes. though quite
sharp at the points. were round-toed as com
pared to Bennington's. The next time Cas-
ner saw Jones after the letter episode he
was living wounded on the car platform.
Halle was then called to testify. There
was nothing startling brought out by the
evidence The events of the robbery We're
the witness denying totally that
he had talked with Bennington in the cellar
or that he had given him anything but beer
the night before the robbery. He did not
know anything of Bennington movements
nor where he was going tndt IleHt- Ie iidu
used the fuse and one stick OF the dynamite
obtained from Thomas to fish with IN the
nond near the village, and the other he bur
led in the sand. The conversation testified
to bv Bennington as having occurred on the
fishing trip was denied. nor could he recall
the circumstances OF the shoes under his
bed when Messrs King and Pourade were
there. Memory utterly failed him as to
there being any shoes there.
This closed the evidence for the defense,
except the recalling of one or two witnesses
for corroborative testimony.
4 climax was reached. however. when the
recalled Officer King. with
pair of worn square-toed shoes, which We're
found in Bennington room at his mother
home. and which she said We're the ones
worn bv her son. They had quantity OF
sand in them when found. Mr.. King testl-
fed TO the circumstances OF finding them,
and Bennington was recalled TO identity his
foot gear. -.
This closed the evidence. Attorney Flint
will make the opening argument, followed
,v Nessrs. Rledsoe and Harris for the a
'ense. The case will probably not 60 to the
Jury before noon today.
