MONTANA MINING CASE
JlRers Said to Have Been Iniu.

Resson of Judee knowles for or
dering a New TriaI-The Litigation
Involves CIaSm Valued at Sew
eraI MiIIsea DoiIars-Coart's Re-
marks on the Power Of the Press.

HELENA Mont, Dec. iI-United
States Court Judge Knowles has ordered
a new trial in one of the most noted
mining cases in the history Of the West
on the ground that the jury had been IN
duly influenced by articles appearing in
a local paper at the time OF the trial.
The suit involved the Michael Dewitt
claim in Butte, owned by the Boston and
Montana Mining Company, and valued
in the millions.
The Montana Ore Purchasing Com
pany claimed the right to mire under
meath the surface of the claim. on the
ground that the veins apexed IN the
Pennsylvania and Johnston claims. both
of which were owned by the defendant
company. The trial was commenced De-
cember II. in Helena. and was concluded
January 81 Most of the testimony was
by expert witnesses. vino comprised some
of the most eminent mining experts In
the world
In part. Judge knowles said; That
these articles were written with the view
OF infiuenci,,F in some way the deter
mination OF Ids cause is apparent The
publication thereof was commenced very
soon atteF the commencement OF the
trial Of the cause, and appeared in many
Issues of the paper until the trial WAS
terminated, when they ceased
The power of the press 10 create and
mold public sentiment is generally rec
ognized. and cannot be doubted. Public
and private enterprise often resort to it
for this purpose. The Independent was
q leading paper at Helena. and possessed
a large circulation in the community
where nearly all of the jurors in this case
resided. pursued their syoeations, and
conducted their business ventures.
1T cannot be doubted but that public
sentiment was created favorable 70 the
defendant in this community by these ar
ticIes, and experience has demoBst rated
that jurors are Influenced much by the
views of the community in whleh theg
reside. Some OF the jurors Acknowledged
in their afidavits that they read some OF
these articles. but deny they were IN
fuenced by them, and one stated he con-
sideTed them advertisements. The fact
as 20 whether or not the jurors read
these articles could be established 6y
