Hearing is in progress before Justice Cole
in Criminal Court No. g holding a session
for the trial of civil causes, in the case of
the Washington Loan and Trust Company
against James G. Bowen. The action is to
recover on a bond in the sum of 5000.
The plaintiff contends that the defendant
was one of the sureties upon the bond of
Philip r. Wilson, as trustee of the estate
of Michael Reardon, deceased. 1t is con-
tended by the defendant that he never ex-
ecuted the bond, and that it is an absolute
forgery. Jesse b. Wilson, an uncle of Philip
r. Wilson, is the second surety on the bond
Philip r. Wilson failed in business, and the
court thereupon appointed the Washington
Loan and Trust Company as trustee of
the estate in his stead. The plaintiff COM
pany is represented by Worthington &
Fraiey, and the defendant by Walter D.
Davidge, E. II. Thomas and Peyton Cor

SHIFELDT COURT-MARTIAI
Time Occupied in COnside ration OF
Bankruptcy Proceedings.

Practically all of today's session of the
Shufeldt court-martial at Washington bar
racks was consumed in rigid examina-
ton of the bankruptcy petition and pro-
ceedings of the accused officer. This was
conducted by the judge advocate in the
presence of the court. The papers were in
troduced in substantiaticn of the plea in
abatement entered by the defense yester-
day in which it was set forth that the de-
PENDANTS discharge in bankruptcy had been
granted in the District court and appealed
by the attorneys for the accused officer $
eX-wife, where it was now pending. The
theory of the defense was that should the
proceedings terminate in favor of DR.. Shu-
feldt there wo I'D exist no debt of alimony,
as alleged in the first specification of the
charge under which he was ordered before
the court-martial for trial.
The court asked if all the papers in the
case were to be read Capt. Boughton, the
Judge advocate, said he preferred to do so,
whereupon all Of the items, orders and rec
ords of hearings were presented to the
court.
At the conclusion of the reading the judge
advocate said the accused was not legally
discharged, as the decree of final dis
charge had been set aside pending the prep
aration of an appeal. Capt. Shufeldt he
said was not discharged in bankruptcy and
there was no cause pending in the Supreme
Court.
Dr. Alexander Wolf, of counsel for the
accused stated to the court that the final
discharge was set aside only to permit of
an appeal it being necessary in that event
for the decrceng justice to write out a
statement of law and fact He said if
there was no appeal pending then the dis
charge was final; if there was an appeal
the case was still pending. as stated IN
the plea of abatement. If the appeal had
been abandoned, it was a matter of mere
technically to go into court and secure a
second decree of final discharge.
| Col. Devices, for the defense, took UP
| the argument and read a number of sec
| tions from the bankruptcy act and decis-
| ions affecting it. The time to the hour CT
adjournment for The day was taken up in
this way.

CONFINES HIS TESTIMONY.
Ex-senator whiteside Tells More
About the Clark Case.

Ex-State Senator Whiteside of Montana
continued his testimony in the Clark case
before the Senate committee privileges
and elections today. He was cross-exam-
ined by Mr.. Faulkner. He identified two
envelopes which he said had contained
money given to him to hold for members
of the Legislature. They were marked by
initials and otherwise, which, Mr. White
side said, had been placed on the envelopes
at the time the money was deposited in
them.
Mr. Whiteside said that after receiving
the money for other members of the legis-
lature he had placed it in a bank safe de-
post vault, but when he took it out preyi-
Gus to the exposure he pinned the envelopes
cont tanning it to the under side of the bot
tom of drawer in a dressing case in his
room.
In answer to a question, the witness said
he had nothing else in the drawer. He had
he added, only rented the drawer at the
time he received the first money. Mr.. hite-
side said he had been before the Lewis and
clark county grand jury for less than an
hour. which was his explana ton of the fact
that he had given the names of men in his
testimony here which had not been given
to the grand jury as the names of men who
had been improperly Influenced in Senator
Clark's interest. He said also that in APP
preaching members of the legislature in Mr..
Clark'S behalf he had done so with the hope
that they would refuse the brides offered
when he had intended to advise them of his
plan of exposure, but that when he found
man willing to accept the money offered
he did not take him into his confidence
An effort was made to show that Mr.
Wbiteside had not had positive knowledge
of the placing of money in the envelopes
from which the $4,000 was taken and
turned over to the state, and in this connec-
ton counsel for Mr.. Clark stated that it
was the purpose of the defense to show that
Mr.. Whiteside had placed the money there
himself.
