of snow and ice was deposited on the

Case on the Part of the Prosecution
Brought to a Close.
Several Witnesses Placed on Witness
Stand on Behalf of Accused
Testify That the Chaplain Uttered
Nothing During His Address
Which Cast a Slur Either Upon
the Government or Captain
Evans.

DENVER (Col), Sept. 29.-When the
court-martial trial Of the Rev. Joseph
p. Mcintyre, Chaplain of the battle
ship Oregon, was resumed this morn
ing, Henry Courier was called by the
prosecution.
He practically reiterated the testi-
mony of previous witnesses that Chap
lain Mcintyre, in his lecture on August
Sth, charged Admiral Sampson with re-
porting himself within the four-mile
limit at the time of the capture Of the
Spanish ship Colon, when he was in
reality eight or ten miles distant. He
also corroborated statements of other
witnesses regarding the alleged con-
temptuous illusions of the Chaplain
to CAPTAIN Robley D. Evans of the
Iowa, as Fighting Bob" and the
statement that the Oregon was the
only battleship that was honestly built,
contracts for all Eastern built vessels
being secured through political pulls" "
After the testimony of Mr.. Courier
was finished, Judge Advocate LAUGH
elmer announced that the prosecution
had closed.
Attorney Cranston for the defense
then called J. r. Schermerhorn, State
Senator, who heard Chaplain McIn-
tyres lecture. He testified that the
Chaplain said that the oregon was one
of the best ships a1oat, and that the

Supreme Court Decision in the
Camp-Land Case.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the Superior Court of this
county in which Judge Hughes found
for the defendant in the case of ]. E..
Camp against William Land, an action
to redeem a homestead from foreclosure
sale. The published syllabus of the
decision reads:
Where a party has dealt with a COR
poration as having power to enter into
a contract, and has received the bene-
tit of the contract, upon we'll settled
principles Of equity he may not be heard
to advance objections to the capacity
Of the corporation to enter into the
contract.

litical influence, had for years been
able to secure contracts from the Gov
eminent. and having no competition,
had not been careful in constructing
vessels The Oregon, being the first
one built by Western contractor, re-
cefved special attention in it's construc-
ton. He heard no charges of dishon-
esty in building ships.
The Chaplain, witness said, asserted
that at the beginning of the battle, the
Oregon was five miles from the Span
ish ships, and the Iowa about three
miles. The Oregon at once started for
the Spanish vessels, and met the Iowa
going the other way. He heard moth
ing about the iowa going to the rear.
The Chaplain referred to Captain
Evans as Fighting Bob" but there
was no manner indicating contempt.
The audience laughed when such allu-
sions were made.
Witness testified that the Chaplain
said that when the battle began Ad-
miral Simpsons flagship, the New
York. was eleven miles away, but dur
ing the fight she came up so that at
the surrender of the Colon she was
within signaling distance, which, he
explained, was within four miles, and
that she was so reported. The Chap
lain did not state that the Admiral re-
ported himself within the four-mlle
limit Witness said he believed the
Chaplain said something to the effect
that the audience was as much en-
titled to prize money as Admiral
Sampson.
Senator SpharnerhOrn on crOSS-eX-
animation, stated that he had known
Chaplain Mcintyre for several years
and regarded him as a personal friend
He was of the opinion that Chaplain
Mcintyre was i'll at the time Of the
lecture, and that he should have been
more explicit in some Of his state
ments.
Joshua Wilson, a dry goods sales
man, testified that Chaplain Mcintyre
stated that the materials and work
manship in the construction of the
Oregon were the best, while those III
Eastern built vessels were inferior, be-
cause the contracts were secured
through political influence. He heard
nothing about the Government being
cheated Witness remembered that
Chaplain Mcintyre said that when the
Oregon went into the fight she met the
Iowa, with Fighting Bob" on board
going the other way. ThereI was moth
ing said about Captain Evans taking
the Iowa to the rear and keeping hel
there The manner of the Chaplain
in referring to Captain Evans as
Fighting Bob" was humorous.
Witness testified that Chaplain Nc
Intyre said that when the Cristoba,
Colon hauled down her flag it had been

which was four miles, but at the time
he used his glasses, and could see
nothing but the smoke of the vessel.
When Mr.. Wilson's testimony was
ended recess was taken
At the afternoon session Judge E. N.
Bonfiels, a newspaper editor, testified
that Chaplain Mcintyre stated that for
twenty years the Union Iron Works in
San Francisco had been trying to OBJ
tain contracts for the construction Of
warships, but owing to the influences
of Eastern manufacturers with the
Government had been unsuccessful.
Finally when there were more vessels
to be built than the Eastern manufac-
turers could handle, the<San Francisco
company received a contract. The
company spared no pains to make the
Oregon the best ship ever built.
Regarding the battle, witness quoted
Chaplain Mcintyre as saying that as
the Oregon was going in she passed the
Iowa, adding in a humorous manner,
''and with her was Fighting Bob
Evans"
Chaplain Mcintyre, the witness con-
tlnued, SAID something about the dlVlS-
ion of prize money, naming $4,000 as
the amount to go to Admiral Sampson
and $500 to Captain Clarke, but there
was nothing about the audience being
entitled to as much as Sampson. Wit
ness declared the report published in
the Rocky Mountain News" upon
which the charges against the Chaplain
are largely based. to be decidedly un-
just to the Chaplain He denied its
correctness in many points.
Major Bonfield was still on the stand
when the court adjourned for the day.
