wARDNER MINERS CASE.
Court Overru1es Objections Made
by the Defense.

WALLACE Qdaho), June 26. = The
defense to-day filed an affidavit charg-
ing prejudice against the defendants on
the part of Acting Sheriff France and
four of his deputies, and Directing to
the appointment of either as elisor to
summon jurors. He also objected to
an open venire, claiming that the jury
should be called from the regular jury
panel. The court overruled the objec-
ton
The defense asked for time to pre-
pare a further affidavit showing cause
why Sheriff Angus Sutherland should
not be appointed elisor. Judge Stew
art said he thought the defense had
made the case, but they argued that
they had no suspicion that Suther-
lands appointment was contemplated.
The Judge further said that charges
of perjury must be specific; defendant
could allege perjury against men as
fast as they could be named, but 1
understand that the elisor is appointed
by the court-not by the defendant"
Finally the matter went over until
morning. the defense being allowed to
produce affidavits from parties other
than defendants. After a long argu-
ment the motion to quash the citation
was overruled.
The defense then offered a motion
to quash the information. which met
the same fate. Then they filed a de-
murrer, argument on which occupied
nearly the whole afternoon, judgment
being reserved until tomorrow. The
real contention of the defense was that
the action was criminal rather than
civil and that the action was not
properly brought, but the court over
ruled that point.
The prisoners at Wardner to-day
voted on the question of giving bail,
deciding by a vote of 81 to not to
give bail.

Trial Denied


NEVADA, June 26.-In the Superior
Court to-day when e. H. Moore, who
was found guilty last week of the muir
der in the first degree with the penalty
fixed at life Imprisonment, appeared
for sentence Attorney Tyrrell moved
for a new trial. In support of the mo-
ton he filed an affidavit of Robert
Gates, principal witness for the prose-
cution, wherein Gates says that, acting
on advice, he Intentionally failed to
state while testifying that he heard
Policeman Kilroy say, just before the
killing, to Moore, who was threatening
to have the officer arrested next day
for f1ourishing a pistol, Il will see that
you don't live till morning, you -
thief
Another affidavit was by Robert
Hillman, who, during the trial heard
two men say in the presence of Jurors
Odell and Davis, that Moore was not
crazy and ought to hang on general
principles, as he was thief. Judge
Nilon denied the motion and in SEN
fencing Moore to Folsom for life, said
the evidence would have fully justified
hanging.
