the time of the tragedy. So far as the
evidence had gone it showed that Shad-
well had not wronged O'Connor, but on
the other hand O'Connor had played the
role of bully. not only with the defend
ant, but with others. He had walked
aroung seeking a victim on whom he
could vent his wrath. A poor laboring
mar had entered the game of cards, lost
his money and in a temporary fit of petu-
ancy had torn up a deck of cards. He
had then gone into the barroom. O'Con-
nor had followed him and told him he
would go out into the back yard or any
other place and fight him. A poor
Italian hot tomato peddler with a Grip
pied hand had entered the game and
O'Connor had said to him: Young man,
from the looks OF your hand you have
been in trouble and if you don play this
game fair III cut off the balance Of your
fingers"
Referring to the time when Shadwell
had the CUR pointed at O'Connor, the
speaker said O'Connor did not think Shad-
we'll would shoot; that he kept moving
towards Shadwell with the intention of
grabbing him, pulling him over the table
and beating him to death. He asked
the jury to consider the difference in the
size of the two men-one weighed be-
tween 100 and $50 pounds, the other 10
and no one to help him. He branded
as a great big bully. adding
that he had Shadwell well cornered. He
wanted each of the twelve to put him
self in Shadwell's place and consider
what he would lave lone to O'Connor
under the circumstances. He did not
believe that ShadWe was guilty of muir
der in the first degree. second degree.
~manslaughter or any other degree save
justifiable homicide.
Towards the latter part of his address
the ex-chief justice of the supreme court
grew eloquent and his sympathetic
passages touched the prisoner, his
mother and brother to tears. He spoke
of the wrong path taken by the defend
ant, but proclaimed him to be still the
son of a poor old English WorkingWoman
and entitled to a fair trial and a just re-
turn.
Shortly before II o'clock Mr.. Pemberton
finished his address and Mr.. Thresher be-
gan. The latter said he had been i'll
and had not recovered sufficiently to
stand on his feet very long, but he felt
it to be his duty to be present if possible.
1t was not natural for a lawyer to go into
a case with his mind unbiased. When
ever such a thing came to pass barnyard
cocks would cease to fight for suprem-
acy. prize fighters would not go, into the
ring to contest their physical ability, foot
ball and base BAH players would lose
interest in their games and orators would
cease to contend with each other.
Mr.. Thresher completed his talk this
afternoon and gave way to County At
torney Connolly. It was late when the
latter got through. The judge then in
structed jury and the latter retired. A
verdict is expected before midnight.

Supposed Fate Of the McNa-
mara Brothers.
EN- ROUTE TO DAWSON
Expected to Join Two Brothers Who
Had Preceded Them-Kad
Excellent Prospects.

The fate of Thomas and Daniel Nc
Namara, two we'll known Walkerville
young men, is a matter of much concern
to the Butte relatives and friends OF the
! two boys. The circumstances would IN
dictate that they have lost their lives in
| the treacherous Yukon river, while en-
route from Butte to Dawson City. The
| news of the disaster comes in a round
about way. by Associated Press from
Seattle. and is contained in the following
dispatch:

the unf%ortunates We're not learned. Two
reports are given as to the manner of
their death. One is that the party
sought to board IA scow bound for Daw-
son and that float ice swept down upon
them. capsizing the BOAT in which they
had made out to the scow. Another is
that all We're on the scow. which got
caught in the ice and sank"
1t is quite possible, of course, that the
Mcnamara brothers who We're drowned
in the Yukon on November II We're not
the Mcnamara brothers Of Walkerville,
and the friends of the Walkerville men
are earnestly hoping that such is the case.
But it is highly improbable thai two
brothers by the same name would be
journeying toward Dawson at the same
time as the Walkerville brothers..
Tom and Dan Mcnamara left Walker
vile for Dawson City less thar two
months ago. according to the statement
of a neighbor who knew them very we'll,
and they should have been sailing up the
Yukon about the time of this fatal acct

a claim on Eldorado creek. Last year,

They made their plans accordingly
and departed for Dawson about two
months ago, expecting to be ~abundantly
repaid for their trouble and to return in
a few years with enough wealth to pass
the remainder of their days in peace.
Tom $ little family was left in charge
of their grandmother. Until a short
time ago Mrs. Mcnamara esided at No

shortly after her sons departure she
moved TO South Butte and could not be
located today.

OPPOSEARBITRATION
England Not Willing to Have Trans
vaal Matters Left to Others
for a Decision.
KRUGER STILL STANDS FIRM
He Is Told That internal Reform Is
Necessary to Preserve Independence
of the Republic.

London, June S.-Advices received
today from South Africa from British
sources show more completely the utter
failure of the recent conference between
President Kruger and the British high
commissioner. London afternoon pa
pers all refer to the dangerous situation.
A dispatch says Sir Alfred Miners
proposals included granting Uitlanders
additional seats in the Rand district.
President Kruger under pressure, final
ly offered three additional seats. The
British high commissioner pointed out
the inadequacy of the presidents pro-
posal. Throughout it is added Kruger
sought to use the franchise proposed as
means of obtaining a promise to settle
differences under contention by arbitra-
tion, but the British commissioner re-
fused to treat the two subjects as inter-
dependent, taking the ground that
internal reform in the Transvaal is nee
essary in any case in order to preserve
independence of the republic, and as
regards arbitration there were certain
questions upon which it could not be
admitted. while on other questions arbi-
tration was possibly admissible, pro-
vided a suitable tribunal could be sug-
gested, not involving the introduction
of a foreign power, which the govern
ment would never allow.

AN ALIBI CLAIMED
Lee and Gilliland Have a Witness
Who Says They Were go Miles
from the Scene Of Murder.
CURRY ADDS A STATEMENT
The Defense Releases Lot of Witnesses
Whom They Say Are Not Need
ed in the Hearing Of
the Case.

Hillsboro, June s. The defense
strengthened its alibi this morning
when Albert Blevin, Texas g. Pacific
fireman, who worked near Dog Canon
testified he was with Lee and Gilliland
at Lees ranch, so miles from the muir
der scene during the very time Colonel
Fountain and son are said to have been
killed. Blevin arrived there at p. m.
Saturday, February /, and remained
until Monday. Maxwell was also there.
The latter had said the defendants were
not there.
Witness also said that the cattle the
prosecution claimed to have been used to
obliterate tracks were under contract to
be delivered, and that Lee was with him
the day he met the herd. Witness re-
futed statements of suspicious actions in
the presence of searchers.
The prosecution held the witness
nearly three hours vainly trying to con-
fuse him. The defense has discharged
half of its witnesses as not considered
necessary.
Captain Curry desired to say that
Sunday dispatches should have stated
that Governor Thornton shared know
ledge of the confession of convict of
the conspiracy to murder Fountain and
three others. They worked the case to-
ge ther. Information that the bodies
were buried in the white sands came
also from other conspirators who were
arrested in Arizona. This evidence was
excluded,

Washington, June S.-The situation
in the Philippines is described by Gen
eral Otis in the following cablegram to
| day: The result of movements in the
Morong province was to drive insur
gents into the mountains, capturing
| Antipolo and other towns of that sec
tion with point of land projecting into
the bay. They retreated and scattered
before our advance, leaving 25 dead or
| the field; our loss is four killed and a
few wounded, mostly slight. The city
of Morongis the only place on land route
on the bay garrisoned; all other troops
have been withdrawn. Inhabitants OF
the province profess friendship and ask
protection. Large numbers wish to en-
ter Manila but are refused as the cty's
population is increasing too rapidly.
Leading natives throughout the island,
including active insurgent leaders, seek
permission to send families to Manila,
which is considered the only place of
personal security.

time of departure until 18th inst. and
