In the district court yesterday Mike
Carron, charged with burglary, pleaded
guilty to the information. Carron stole
an overcoat from room in the Capt.
tai hotel on Front street about tw .
months ago. He tried 70 sell the coat
to a railroad man in the b.. a. " +.
yards, to whom he stated that he bought
the garment in Butte. He was after
wards captured in the eastern part of
the city with the coat on his person,
wearing it under another coat.
Carron is only young fellow, giving
his age as II years. 1t is not certain
whether he will be sent to prison or
whether he will be sent to the reform
school.
The case of the state VS.. Rhinehold
Kleinschmidt was the next called. The
defendant was acquitted by the jury
without leaving their seats, under the
instructions of the court.
This Is case where an assault was
alleged to have been committed some
time during 1897 in the north end of the
county The complainant was a man
named John Simpson, who accused
Kleinschmidt of assaulting him. Klein
schmidt was tried before a justice of
the peace in the north end. The justice
fined him $3.50. Kleinschmidt appealed
from the Judgment and gave bonds for
his appearance in the district court.
He failed to appear, however, when the
case was set for trial and his bonds
were declared forfeited. Later, how
ever, this order was set aside and the
case reset for yesterday.
Mr.. Kleinschmidt was represented by
Attorney T. j. Walsh of Helena. Mr..
Duffy's first witness was Robert Dixon.
Dixon testified that he had seen the
wound on Simpsons head. Mr.. Duffy
then asked him what statement the
defendant had made to him about hav-
ing an alteration with Simpson. Mr..
Walsh objected on the ground that the
fact of a crime had not yet been estaD-
lshed. The objection was sustained and
the witness withdrawn. Justice of the
Peace A. D. Howard, before whom he
case had originally been tried was
called. He was asked practically the
same question, and Mr.. Walsh's objec-
ton was again sustained.
Mr.. Duffy then moved that the court
instruct the jury to acquit, which was
done. The complaining witness, Simp-
son, was not present, being somewhere
in Idaho. The jury was composed of
the following gentlemen: M. McMullal,
IllDeTl bdreC, george w. Dand JOnn
johnson, James Ahearn, e. l.. Hilburn,
Paul Moreau, j. ]. Simonson, John F.
Sullivan, J. J. McAndrews, J. w.
Smurr, Erick Larson.
