REASONS WHY
The Supreme Court Granted
Writ of Superssdeas-Fvident-
the Lower Court has Erred in
Not Admitting Som" Testimony
For the Defense.

The following from the Post, of Den
yer, very tersely sets forth upon what
ground Messrs. Carnahan and Wheeler,
attorneys of this city, asked for superse-
deas before the supreme court.
1t appears that the court very readily
granted the writ upon the showing made
by tho attorneys of Messrs. Starr and
Mckinney. A strong point was that
the jury is not supposed to hunt up ev-
idence or facts, also that the evidence OF
G. w. Knowles should have been admit
ted testifying to the fact that it was
physical impossibility for anyone to
have overheard conversation, hid In
the cellar at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets.
The supreme court was occupied all
morning in hearing arguments in an ap,
plicatiop for supersedeas in the case OF
Reuben e. Starr and A. 8. Mckinney,
the Grand Junction aldermen convicted
of bribery and sentenced to six months
in the county Jail.
Starr and Mckinney were charged
with attempting to bribe Alderman
Wharton to vote for certain me asure
in the Grand junction Water Companys
interest and against the interest OF the
CITY. The evidence WAS furnished by
several witnesses who alleged that they
heard the conversation between the men
regarding the effort at bribery. The
court will reuder it's decision on the ap
plication late this afternoon.
Attorneys Carnahan and Wheeier IN
their argument this morning heio tnat
the aldermen were convicted as resul.
of prejudice on tho part OF the people OF
Mesa county. They averred that there
was no statute in this state authorizing
the prosecution OF an alderman OF city
OF the second class for bribery neither
was there any provision under the com
mon law for the offense Of bribery, for
the reason that the office OF an alderman
as is now known under the statutes olo
not exist at the time the common law
was made effective by our statutes.
They also held that it was error upon
the part OF the court below to refuse 10
admit the testimony OF @. w. Knowles
and others to tho effect that it was im-
possible for the witnesses, Wharton
Barton and Campbell, to have heard the
conversations Of would be bribers on the
night in question.
The fact was certainly competent anu
