MIR. Clark said he had taken an active

tcally two campaigns. The money
placed in his hands was for the purpose
OF covering both these campaigns. Mr..
Clark thought there was an average %
40 persons in Helena in his fathers be-
haH, Just before the election, and all
told there were fully 300 people there
from FIRST TO last. Most OF these had
come with the view OF helping Mr..
Clark IN the contest but the witness
had no doubt that some Of them came
with the hope Of earning a little ex-
pense money.
MIR. Clark said he had never author
lied Mr.. Whiteside TO see members OF

the legislature with him and never had
told him that any State senator or leg

money for his support. but that he
wanted an equal chance with others,

Mr.. Whiteside then said he would vote
for Clark

JURORS LOCKED UP.
In the last murder case tried here, the
Mills case the jurors were allowed TO
separate and We're not locked up at
night. In this case, however, they are
not allowed 10 separate, nor will they
be until the trial is over. This means
that they viii be almost entirely shut on
from communication with the outside
world for two or three weeks.
Sheriff H0wells Is looking after their
comfort, and II goes without saying
that they are well provided for The
jurors are allowed TO read and write as
they please but thy must not read any
thing about the case.
HOW LONG WILL 1T TAKEs
There is a great deal Of speculation as
TO the length Of time the tiial win take.
Assuming that the taking OF testimony
viii commence on Monday II seems
certain that the trial will extend over
into the new week. The outside limit Is
that two full weeks will be required for
the opening statements, testimony and
arguments.
PUBLIC INTEREST.
When the court room Is fairly well
filled day after day with spectators who
hear only the examination Of Jurors as
to their qualifications, II Is evident that
public interest In the case Is very great.
When the trial is once fairly under way,
the court room will doubtless be too
small 10 accommodate the crowds
PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE.
The case Of the state has been pretty
well developed already, and It viii fol-
low the lines Of the preliminary hear
ing. and II will be contended that all the
elements essential TO murder were pres
ent in the killing.
The defense. so far has not shown its
hand. From the questions asked jurors,
II is assumed that Benbrook win testify
In his own behalf. His account Of the
encounter with the deceased and the
details OF the shooting will be heard
with much interest. All that can be
fairly surmised regarding the defend
ants statement Is that IL will elaborate
the claim Of self-defense, upon which
alone apparently. his attorneys will
base their claim for an acquittal.
OTHER RELATIVES COMING.
SO far, Benbrook has been attended
in court by his wife, two brothers. a
sister, brother-in.law, and niece. II Is
understood that one, and perhaps two,
more brothers viii come on to attend
the trial.

According TO the best information oh.
tainable today, Mana WitbeCk and En-
ma Matheson. the missing witnesses In
the Benbrook murder case, win be here
In ample time to testify for the prose
cution.
These girls, It win be remembered,
were dining with Albert G, Morris in a
private room at the Merchants Cafe at
the time OF the tragedy, They testified
at the preliminary hearing and few
months later quietly dropped out OF
sight Just as soon as the attorneys
for the State learned Of this, an in
quiry was commenced, and John Wit
beck, father OF one Of the girls came
to the front with the statement that he
had furnished the girls money for an
eastern trip, as they desired to avoid
the notoriety OF testifying, A little
later Col. Theodore Brubacks name
was connected with the flight Of these
witnesses, and 1t developed that he had
furnished the money which Witbeck
gave the girls.
The States attorneys were consider
ably annoyed by the absence Of the Wit
nesses. whose testimony was desired.
Complaints were made against both
Witbeck and Bruback, charging them
with attempting 10 defeat the ends OF
Justice. As result probably, Of this
] .str on fha Df the
prosecution the return OF the girls
1 seems assured. A letter was received
from Miss Witbeck few days ago,
stating that they were going TO visit
her married sister In Chicago, and
would then come to Salt Lake. Since
! then they have been communicated
with. furnished return tickets and made
/ 10 understand the necessity for their
/ return.
As the taking Of testimony can hard

He had hoped that he could influence

Judge Brantley was perfectly friendly
Or. Martin said that he had also re-

Clark had referred to his own good
