SIN Clin9ing to the Ray Of Hope
that Some Are Alive.

Washington, July S.-An important
dispatch TO the state department fivm
Consul General Goodnow has revived
hope in n measure that the lega ton
ers. or at least some of them. ara still
alive in Pekin. Having survived at
least two weeks longer than was sup
posed 10 be possible. and certainly be-
ing alive five days ago, the unfortunate
ministers and their stats and guards
may be still holding out. In fact, if
the only active enemy they have now
to face is starvation. as Consul Cen
eral Goodnow indicates the officials
believe there is substantial ground for
the hope that they may hold out. and
that the horrible stories of the last few
days from Shanghai ofnameless crimes
and massacres committed upon the le-
gationers are az least premature. One

no reason why the advance on Pekin

The most important primary wool mar

about 81 carloads of wool are loaded and

Woolgrowers get the best price the market

EVIDENCE IS
WITHDRAWN
TESTIMONY OF UTAH OFFICERS
REGARDING REPUTATION
OF, ED MARSHALL.

WANTED 1T TO STAND.

Arguments Made and Case Goes
to the Jury Tonight.

The last of the testimony in the case
OF the state against Edgar Marshall.
charged with h murder Of Georgia
Creech, was submitted last evening and
une attorneys for lne respective sides an
nounced their intention Of commencing
the argument this morning. When court
opened today, however, County Attor-
Lney Connolly addressed the court as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Wines, ounse for the defendant,
EeIore the adjournment of court last
evening, objected to the testimony of
Messrs. Howell and Harris, Utah officers.
relative to the reputation of the prisoner.
and ! now ask that the testimony of the
Utah men be withdrawn, as there lis
some in my mind as to dts consti-
tutionality."
Mr.. Wines objected to the proffered
withdrawal, n although he did not
state Why, 1T is understood he consider
ed the testimony of a nature that would
enable him to carry the case into the SUI
predne court and secure a reversal of a
verdict of guilty in case one should be
returned. He objected to the request of
Mr.. Connolly becoming a part of the
court records, but the court overruled it.
He then moved that the testimony of the
Utah officers be permitted to remain a
portion of the evidence and the court
Overruled it.
The Utah officers testified that Mar
shall was a bad man, but as the latter
had spent only six or eight days in Salt
Lake, there was SOM doubt in the mind
OF Mr.. Connolly as to whether they knew
his reputation.
C. r. Kelly began the argument for the
state and consumed the entire morning.
He was followed by Mr.. Wines for the
defense, n at a late hour this after
moo he was still talking.
