The trial of Charles NJ. Phelps Tor
murder in the first degree, for the kill
ing of John Egan by administering to
him large dose of morphine in beer,
which he was drinking. came to sud
den termination yesterday afternoon
by the defendant changing his former
plea of not guilty to plea of guilty to
murder IN the second degree.
The case was called for trial on
Thursday, and since then the time Oh
the court was occupied in getting
jury to sit in the case. On Friday night
there were eight jurors in the box, and
further proceedings were then ad-
jcurned until O'Clock yesterday AT
that hour all parties interested being
present, Assistant County Attorney
Putnam stated to the court that Phelps
had made up his mind to plead guilty
TO murder in the. second degree, and
the prosecution being willing to accept
that plea, there was no necessity to so
on with the selection of a jury. County
Attorney Van Colt, for the state, said
that IL appeared that the defendant had
administered the poison for the purpose
of Supplying the deceased, to enable
Phelps to rob him, and not with intent
TO kill him, and the jury, if they found
the defendant guilty of murder in the
mercy, and in that event the penalty
would be Imprisonment for life. The
penalty for murder in the second degree
was anything from ten years in the
state prison to life sentence. 1t was,
therefore. within the power of the court
TO punish as severely under his plea
of guilty of murder in the second de-
gree as under verdict of murder in
the first degree with a recommended
ton to mercy In view of that fact,
the prosecution had decided TO accept
the plea of guilty to murder in the sec
ond degree.
The court offered no objection and it
was so ordered, and Thursday next was
set as time for passing sentence
The case against Jesse +. Mcmillan,
who was jointly charged with the
murder of Egan, was set to come up
on Monday, but it will go over until
Tuesday, when it is understood he will
also plead guilty to murder in the sec
ond degree

ALMA HARVEY's CASE.
Judge Hiles Holds That He May In
herit


Judge Hiles yesterday rendered his
decision IN the case involving the point
as to whether Alma Harvey, a polyga-
nous child, was an heir at law and en-
titled as such TO participate in the es-
tate of his father, James Harvey, de-
ceased. His honor found that he was so
entitled, and gave judgment accord
iDgly.
The case came up on the petition of
Martha Ellis, the mother of the boy,
and on a demurrer to the petition en-
tered by the administrator of the es-
tate.
The petition set forth that Harvey
died in this city last December, and
that the following January his widow
Agnes Burns Harvey, filed her petition
for the issuance of letters of admins
tration to William Prestwich. 1t was
then set forth that the name of Alma
Harvey was omitted in the petition,
that he was born in February, 1884,
and is the issue of a polygamous mar
riage. 1t was further set out that the
boy was recognized by deceased as his
son up TO his death.
The petitioner contended that the boy
was legitimatiZed by force of the I'D
munds-Tucker act of congress of
March, 1887, and also by acts of the
legislature Of Utah of March 9, 1896,
and April 5. 1893.
The administrator on the contrary
urged that the acts of the Legislature
referred to were both unconstitutional
and that the Edmunds-T Tucker act did
not apply to the case.
Judge Hiles expressly refrained from
passing upon the question of the con-
stitutionality of the legislative acts
mentioned and held that the Edmunds-
Tucker act legitimatized all polyga-
nous children born before March 5,
1888, of whom Alma Harvey was one.
The demurrer was therefore overruled.
