Bound Over
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

Judge Henderson Binds Jack Cassidy Over
to the District Court.
The preliminary trial of John Cassidy
on the charge of numbering William
Rowe was held today before Judge H.
c. Henderson. On account of the fact
that both men were widely known in the
community. the keenest interest is felt in
the case. The people were represented by
Deputy District Attorney ]. D. Merwin
and the defense by Ives and Houston.
The trial commenced at 10 q. ~, when
Judge Henderson raped the court to
order and the prosecution began Its case.
The theory of the prosecution was that
the killing was deliberate and premedi-
tated. They set out to show by their
witnesses that on April 26, John Cassidy
went over to Rowe's cabin, and engaged
in an alteration with him. The exact
nature of the alteration was not shown
as there were no witnesses in the imme.
diate vicinity of the two men. Cassidy.
then, according TO the testimony, went to
his cabin, across the gulch, secured a
pistol belonging TO his partner, Harvey,
and returned to kowe's cabin. Rowe was
just starting to leave the cabin as Cassi.
dy approached, and his band was on the
latch of the door when the latter fired
the bullet striking Rowe's hand. Rowe
then retreated into his cabin and crawled
under the table.
Cassidy advanced to the cabin window
and fred twice at the PROSTATE man, one
bullet striking him in the left side and
penetrating his vitals. After moments
interval, Rowe then rushed out of the
cabin and grappled with Cassidy. The
witnesses saw an object fly up in the air
and then fall on the dump. Cassidy dis.
engaged himself from Rowe, picked up
the object, which was supposed to be his
pistol, and ran down the hill to his cabin,
where he met his partners, Brown and
Harvey. He later came to Boulder and
gave himself up. Other witnesses testl'
fed to finding Rowe lying in front of his
cabin, fatally wounded. His death re-
suited FIVE minutes after the shooting.
The pistol with which the shooting was
done was a Smith 4 Wesson 3S callbre
and belonged to Harvey, Cassid,'s
partner. Cassidy took it from under
Harvey's pillow IN his cabin and return
ed it there after the shooting.
The prosecution only introduced four
witnesses to substantiate this story,
Brown and Harvey, the two miners who
were on the opposite side of the gulch
and saw the whole affair. and Mason
and Adams who were farther up the hill
and came down after the shooting.
The defense waived and Judge H en-
derson bound over the accused to the dis
trict court under $40 900 bonds. Defend
ants COUNSEL state that they expect to
secure the bon ds.
