MORRIS FAMILY INDIGNANT.
Think Benbrook Should Have Been
Held For Murder.

When visited last night, Mrs. Pickett,
the mother of Burt Morris, was utterly
Frustrated. The ordeal through which
she has passed has been a dreadful
strain and the elimination of tho af-
fair yesterday proved to be altogether
too much for her already over-strained
ner-es.
Her children and many sympathizing
friends were around her, and every
thing that loving care could suggest
was being done to comfort her.
The entire family, and especially
Burt's mother have no words in which
to express what they feel over the
result of the hearing. 1T is an out
rage" declared every member of the
murdered mans family. Mrs. Claw
son, the young mans sister, who has
attended her heart-brOken mother
during every day of the hearing, de-
clared that there is no such thing as
murder in Utah.
Victor Morris voiced the expression
of opinion of a leading attorney in town
who said when Justice Pardees deci-
sion was communicated TO him that IF
justice had been done in the Hynds
murder case Burt Norris never would
have been killed, and that if such an
other crime should he committed the
murderer would never be permitted to
stand trial at ALL
Mrs. Pickett and the other members
of the family who expressed an opinion
on the outcome of the hearing are Gery
indignant because Benbrook was not
held on a charge of murder, which
they hoped would not have admitted
him to bail. They also criticized the
seeming Indifference of Judge Powers
and Attorney Rogers, and the lack of
interest displayed by them in the re-
suit
The family feels that the defense
was so sure in advance of what the
judges action would be that they lost
interest in the matter as soon as the
case had been opened.
TT is placing a premium on crime
said the brother of the dead man, land
it is a very poor reputation for the
state to get abroad. 1t will serve to
attract an element to the city that is
especially undesirable. if it goes out
that there is no such thing as murder
under our state laws"

BENBRooK IN ARIZONA.
Women Caused His Troubles While
at Phoenix.
phoenix Republican,

phoenix Republican,
The Salt Lake papers contain very
full accounts of the late murder there
of Burton Morris by John II. BEN
brook, a former resident of Phoenix.
1t was over a woman, and women were
at the bottom of most of Benbrook' 5
troubles when he lived in Phoenix. Ben
brook pleads self defense and the
actual circumstances at the time of
the murder are in his favor. A thing
against him is that he began that
day with a gun hunt for another man
about matter which had nothing TO
do with the one over which the killing
of Morris occurred. The papers des-
cribe Benbrook as a former sheriff of
Phoenix. He was vested sheriff of ella
county, but afterward lived in Phoenix,
leaving here in 1894. He is a brother
of '-Smithy" Benbrook, at Globe. Ben
brook was a pleasant fellow and was
generally well liked in Phoenix. He
was always sober and seldom quarrel
some.

Justice Pardee's Decision.


1T seems to me. considering the evi-
dence. that no malice or reconciliation
has been shown said Justice Pardee
slowly. "On the contrary, it seems 10
me TO show the absence of malice.
However there was a struggle. during
which one man received his death
wound. II seems To be my duty to hold
the defendant to the district court to
answer to the charge of manslaughter.
Let such order be entered
''Will your honor now fix the bail?"
quickly asked Attorney Powers.
What amount is suggested by the
COUNSEL asked Justice Pardee-
I'VE want bail that viii hold him:

suited for a moment.

$4,000 said Judge Powers
Il think $4,000 is small enough. If
you can't get it, petition for reduc-
ton" said ex-senator Brown.
'.Well, he may be permitted to give
bail III the sum OF $4,000" said the
justice. IF you cannot get it the
amount may be reduced
Benbrook went out very quickly with
Sheriff Howells and on to the county
Jail.
Hang Him. Says Brown.
No one was more excited about the
matter than Attorney Brown at the
conclusion of the proceedings.
It's an outrage" he cried, raising
his hands and grinding his teeth. The
murderer ought To be hanged: hang
him. hang him. | say. Hold a murderer
for manslaughter? BAH" and he
walked off mutterinS to himself and
waving his hands madly-
Judge Powers and Mr.. Rogers smiled
in satisfaction Their regulations as
criminal attorneys had added iusteT.
But the Morris family was very much
dissatisfied. The mother and children
have been watching this trial eagerly,
expecting the full measure of the law
to be enforced against the prisoner.
Blames the Prosecution.
1--WE don't like the result said At
torney y. V. Jones, speaking for the
family. I'VE do not blame Justice Par
dee for he undoubtedly acted as he saw
the evidence. But we DO blame the !
prosecuting attorneys. We do not con-
slider that the case has been conducted |
as il should have been. The facts have |
not been brought out, nor when shown |
haze they been explained and con-
nected The testimony of Leda Strom- !
berg. in particular, was handled mis-
erably She did not tell as much as she |
did at the inquest
.@The testimony of the boy Doolan has
been permitted to contradict that of
other witnesses. when it is plain to be
seen that the boy is not telling the re-
suit of his observation, but of his inn
agitation.
I'VE think that the prosecution has
been a failure. Possibly this does not
sound well coming from relative, but
it is what we think. There is sufficient
evidence to convict Benbrook of muir
der: the contradictions may be ex-
planned. but there has been no con-
how the murder occurred
Benbrook did not secure bail last

ORS0N SMITHS SUCCESSOR
CACHE HIGH COUNCIL SAID TO
ENDORSE ISAAC SMITH.
President Snow Regards This AS I'm
possible and Says No President of
the Stake Has Been Chosen.
Special TO The FIeraIdN

Logan. July 27.-The high council OF
this stake met short time ago to
consider the matter of endorsing a
man to succeed Orson Smith as presi-
dent and it has leaked out that Isaac
Smith, counselor to OrsOn. was unani-
mously endorsed for the place.
This information has caused some
emphatic kicking in some of the out
side settlements where Smith is not
cordially liked. There viii doubtless
be more opposition when the fact is
known that Smith is likely to be ap-
pointed as he is Unpopular.
Bishop Lewis of Lewiston has re-
Gently made two trips TO Salt Lake
and his friends say that he was sum-
moned there by President Snow. They
contend that he will be Orson's sue
cessor. He is popular and very ener-
getic.
When shown the above dispatch last
evening, President Snow gave the re-
port very little credence. Said he: 1T
is my opinion that the high council
has not endorsed Isaac Smith for the
position. 1t is not their business to
elect, nor is it their business to nomi-
nate. The matter is entirely the hands
of the first presidency and this is the
first 1 have heard of any endorsing.
LAS to Bishop Lewis. I have never
sent for him; nor have 1 consulted with
him IN this subject.
'Wehave made no selection of Orson
Smiths successor and the probabilities
are that we will not have done so by
the time the Cache conference con-
veneS, a week from next Sunday. The
high council of the stake will have
the privilege of endorsing a man for
the presidency after he is named"

ask all sorts of questio mas if trying
the case i'll ocurt. The result of this has
been that not a true bin was found in
some cases in which it should have
been IA true bill But the fault is prin-
cipaliy in the witnesses. They testify
to one thing before the commissioner and
to something else before the grand
jury. 1t often happens that witnesses
change their testimony very materially.
"Of course" he added, there are
some frivolous cases sent up, though we
do all in our power to prevent it. Now
have sent out to every commissioner
in the district notice that he must not
commit defendant on the evidence
alone of professional or unreliable
witness; that when he does commit he
must send to my office the names of the
witnesses and statement of the testi-
mony of each witness, signed by the wit
ness. Until this is done / allow no bill
of costs
And yet, despite these precautions.
members of the grandjury say that
there were an immense number of the
most frivolous cases before them: that
in fact. all the forty in which there
was not true bill should have been dis
missed by the commissioner.
