He Will Stand Trial in Lewis
and Clarke County.
HE LOOKED OOWNHEARTED
He Dislikes the Idea of Being Tried In
Helena Several Attorneys Refuse
to Take His Case-Insan-
ity the Defense.

Patrick n. LdrSey, yesterday pTODdDiy
ook his last farewell OF Butte. He
was taken to Helena yesterday MORN
ing by Sheriff Regan. where he will be
tried for murder. Riley looked more
serious and downhearted when he was
taken from the county Jail than at n
time since the murder. He had moth
ing to say. but his face indicated his
feelings. He never liked the idea of
being sent out of Silver Bow county for
trial, and he especially disliked Helena,
and so expressed himself several times
since Judge Clancy granted the change
of venue. During the last several days
Riley has sent word to three or four
prominent attorneys I'm Butte and tried
to get them interested in his case. but
each one declined to have anything to
do with II, and refused to see him, al
though he sent urgent appeals to have
them call at the Jail.
The papers in his case will be sent to
Helena some time next week, and as
soon as the records are made up m
sent over, County Attorney Stapleton
will 90 to Helena and ask to have the
case set for trial. 1t is likely. how
ever. hat MIR. Cason. Riley's attorney.
will ask for a continuance In order TO
give him time to get some dispositions
from Lincoln, Neb., to be used in max
ing out a defense of insanity.
Judge Clancy has been served with a
writ of review from the supreme court

an action growing out of the Thornton
Thomas mercantile troubles. Judge
Clancy ordered Johnston to honor the
check of Receiver Hubbard for the
amount of money he deposited in the
bank as receiver, and which money
Clark Brothers attached in an action
against the mercantile company.
