For some time the railroad companies
have been preparing for one OF the
most severe struggles with their SER
vice men that has ever been known in
the history Of rallroading. Their mode
of preparation has been a very peculiar
one, It is said by employees that In the
process Of physical examination which
the men have been subjected to,many OF
them have been dismissed upon the
slightest pre,ense Of lack Of physical
capacity. The object Of the railroad
companies has been 10 retire so many

ent' Before the committee met the
meinb-rs discussed informally the right
and Tropr'ety Of asking the Presidents

Chairman Loud maintaining that such
& course would in effect amount to the
summoning OF the President and an In.
quiry into executive affairs.
Mr. Grosyenor made a fat denial o,
the statement made by Lentz as TO the
words, I'VE have not let the grass grow
under our feet" in reference 10 the
charges. The conversation was inform.
al, MI Grosyenor said, and he would
have es soon expected that a private
conversation with a member OF his
family would be brought before the
committee as TO have this talk brought
here. Mr.. G,osvenor said his statement
10 Mr.. Ientz was In substance that the
Investigation would fail, there was
nothing In the charges, and that he had
taken steps to learn the facts at the
time OF denying them on the floor Of
the House. His denial was based on hls
knowledge Of the character Of the Pres.
ident. He said he had also said 10
Mr.. Lontz that a search would show
that there was no scrap Of evidence 90
sustain the charges. subsequently. dur
ing call at the White House on an
other matter, MI. Grosyenor said the
President remarked TO those present
that he had never had a suspicion that
ne was appointing eny one guilty Of
polygainy, as he had never heard Of
the charge until It was made in the
House
To many questions Mr.. Grosyenor EN-
phasized his sweeping denial Of the
language and differences attributed to
him By Mr.. Lentz. as reported BY the
newspapers.

loss TO account for the statement made
by the defense on yesterday In asking
a continuance Of the case.
The accusation caused such a turn
ing and delylng into the matter that the
disclosure has at last been made.
Last evening legal paper was served
upon Colonel Theodore Bruback, which
will compel his presence at the trial and
necessitate his testifylng during the
trial. This clears up the mystery OF
the fourth person. but whether Mr..
Bruback shall prove TO have been a
witness Of the circumstances immedi-
ately preceding the tragedy q whether II
shall be shown that he was In the prl-
vate dining rooms OF the Merchants
cafe on that day at a time c0mparative-
ly remote from the tragedy remains 10
be brought out In court.
The disappearance Of the girls, the
sensational accusation OF Attorney
Rogers. the securing Of Mr.. Bruback as
a prospective witness and the promised
immediate return TO this city OF the
girls, Mana Witbeck and Emma Mathe-
son, form interesting links In a chain
Of circumstances that may throw light
upon a tragedy which hitherto has been
somewhat clouded.
II may be that nothing OF direct i'm
portance will be obtained n Jm the new
witness for the state. but II Is asserted
that this last move will be the means OF
wringing from the two girls and the
other witnesses more complete state
ment OF what they know.
That the whereabouts OF Mana Wit
beck and Emma Matheson are known
Ia evidenced by a statement OF the faith
er Of one OF them that during their alb
sence they would visit Kansas City.
Chicago and New York.
Col. Brubsck, 1t Is understood, says
that he was at the Merchants cafe that
day upon business with Albert Morris
and that he left the restaurant previous
TO the shooting.

companion was the result OF a desire
10 Shield a friend
At the time the idea OF the presence
OF a fourth party was secuted by some
for the reason. as they advanced IT,
that Albert Morris being cousin Of
the deceased he would surely do all in
his power 10 bring his slayer to Justice;
and II there were present a fourth
party who could throw any possible
light upon the affair he surely would
not hesitate 10 make known that per-
sons name.
The proposition thus advanced, how
ever. only tended 10 strengthen In the
mirfs OF It's supporters the theory OF a
fourth person, because It had the effect
OF confirming them In their opinions
that not only was this fourth party
present but that the person was Of such
prominence and local personal influence
that the identity was suppressed, and
an effort was being made to keep the
nafse entirely free from connection with
the case.
These supposed facts were made to
account Tor the very apparent reluc-
lance OF the witnesses 70 tell all they
knew OF the affair.
Upon the preliminary examination
one Of the walters at the restaurant
testified that during the afternoon pre-
ceding the evening Of the tragedy he
supplied 10 Albert Morris and his
friends seven bottles OF liquid refresh
ments, evidencing that considerable
time was spent there by the party pre-
vioul 10 the shooting.
Finally the trial was set and reset un-
al n came ON yesterday when the
statement made by MIR. Rogers was put
forth. Naturally the members OF the
family OF the deceased were very much
exercised az the inference that they had
participated In so unfair a move They
had hoped that the Witbeck and Mathe-
son girls would have been substantial
with esses for the State and were at q
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1900-01-19

Burton c. Morris was assaulted and
shot. Benbrook was arrested for the
crime.
Occupying one OF the dining rooms at
tho time Of the tragedy were Albert G.
Morris, a cousin Of the deceased, and
two young girls, Mana Witbeck and
Emma Matheson Albert Morris tesu-
fed that he saw the final struggle
without having seen the shooting Itself.
From the time the tragedy occurred
there was displayed upon the part OF
all the witnesses great reluctance TO
give testimony and even when they did
testify II seemed apparent that some
thing was being withheld. and that
they were laboring under feeling OF
great mental restraint, whether self
Imposed or otherwise
There were persistent rumors that
during the tragedy q fourth person,
aside from the principals, was present
I'm these private dining rooms OF the
Merchants cafe but who this party
was did not come out In the prelimin-
ary examination. An effort 10 locate
the person was made and almost all
manner OF means exhausted 10 discover
the identity.
During the time he was at the res
taurant Albert G. Morris went out TO
drug store near by and telephoned TO
several places TO request friend TO
ioln him In dinner and this friend was
supposed TO have been the mysterious
fourth party" Whether or not Albert
succeeded in obtaining the presence OF
his friend al the private dining rooms
was not disclosed in any Of the tesu-
mony adduced. but II was the private
opinion OF persons who were closely
watching the progress Of the case that
whether or not he did succeed at that
time he was not alone with the Mathe-
son and Witbeck girls during all Of his
stay in the restaurant, and that his
failure to make known that fact and
the name OF the individual who was his

In asking for a continuance Of the
Benbrook murder trial before Judge
Norrell yesterday, Attorney Lindsay r.
Rogers, for the defense, said that a
witness for the State had furnished the
money which carried away from town
Mana Witbeck and Emma Matheson,
the two girls who were witnesses In
the case, and that the defense was
thereby placed at disadvantage.
This sensational charge proved to be
the key which has unlocked the armor
OF mystery surrounding the presence
Of fourth person at the Albert Nor
ris-Nana Wltbeck- Miss Matheson din
ner party at the Merchants cafe prior
to the tragedy In order that the read
er may understand the situation more
clearly II is necessary TO briefly state
the facts leading up TO the disclosures
Of today.
1t was on the evening Of Monday,
July 18th, 1899. that the tragedy oc-
CURED in which Burton c. Morris lost
his life. The several circumstances and
incidents attendant upon the AFFAIR, as
CLEANED from the testimony Of some
OF those who were In the vicinity OF
the ARRAY, shows that the shooting oc-
Cured about as follows:
Burton C. Morris, in answer to a note
Of invitation. visited the Merchants
