Officer william Brown.
Especial to the 'News."l

Logan, Utah. Sept. 27--Abram Il.
Majors was under a severe cross-ex-
animation for two hours this mornings,
but very little change was discernable
in his testimony. he admitted that his
memory was impaired by his two
years and half in prison. He also adj
mitted that he wrote a letter 10 Sheriff
Gordon a month after the killing, IN
which he admitted that his brother
fired two shots at Brown In explain
ing this statement as COntradlctins nus
statement of yesterday that his brother
did not fire any shots, so far as ne
knew. he stated that the empty cart
ridges In his brothers gun, and other
circumstances, had then convinced him
that his brother must have fred two
shots, but that he had since decided
that Archibald did not. He testified
that Stokes and he were never within
hearing distance. from each other in
the jail when a third prisoner was pres
ent, and that Stokes could therefore
never have heard the witness admit his
guilt .re
Mrs. Majors testified that Abram
Majors, her son, owned the white
handled pistol. which had not been
fred at time Of killing
The defense offered the letter above
mentioned In evidence. In II Majors
implores Gordon 10 tell the truth and
free him. He also denies killing
Brown. Coroner Ward. of Boxelder
county, testified that the bullet which
killed Archibald Majors went In under
the shoulder blade and was cut out
from under the skin near the right nip
pie. The bullet, a 45-caliber ball, was
placed In evidence, He also testified
that Brown came to his death by a
bullet which entered his breast, went
through his body and was never found,
f. j. Hurd, Il. T.. Davis, Simon Sller
and Josiah Marsh were called and tes-
tilted mainly that Deputy Sheriff
Thompson had told them he and others
fired at the Majors brothers on the
night Of April 2s, ls99 that one Of the
Majors shouted If you don't stop shoot
ing Wen commence. Otherwise their
testimony had little bearing on the

PRESIDENT SMITH
HOME FROM NORTH
Visits Yellowstone Park and Sees
Giant Geyset
! VERY ENJOYABLE TRIP.
Shocked Over Death OF President VIC
kinley - Holds Memorial Services
ON the Return "Trip.

President Joseph f. Smith has re-
turned from a memorable trip through
the north including the Yellowstone
Park. He first visited the Teton basin
and assisted in the organization of the
Teton Stake of Zion after which he, in
company with Apostle John Henry
Smith, President Thomas Il. Bassett,
II. Nj. Todd and his own sons Joseph
II. and David A. Smith, visited the
jackson Hole country. They held some
meetings with the people and found the
latter to be In happy and prosperous
condition. They live principally In
very good log houses as they have at
hand the very finest kind OF timber.
The jackson Hole valley is very ex-
tensiye but Is included In the Forest
reserve and for that reason the people
are precluded from II otherwise Presi-
dent Smith thinks that country would
be settled up rapidly. Nevertheless he
advises young men who are looking for
homes to 60 up and make a survey OF
other portions Of that country In the
Teton as he things II has great posi-
bllities. IL is splendid grazing coun-
try.
After going through the Jackson val
ley the party went to Yellowstone Park
entering on the south side. President
Smith had the pleasure of seeing the
Giant geyser play for about two hours,
the first time that anyone has seen IL
for years. One man said he had been
watching II for twelve years and this
was the first time he had seen II. It
was a magnificent spectacle great
volume of water spoutlng into TIE alr
over two hundred feet. The party also
saw the Lone Star and Old Faithful
geysers and the Fountain geyser in the
lower basin. 1t was President Smiths
first visit TO the Yellowstone.
While In the park he heard Of the
shooting OF President Mckinley and
later OF his death He said that he was
unable to do justice to his feelings over
the national tragedy. On the return
from the park he and his companions
held memorial services In honor OF Pres.
Mckinley at Chester, Parker and Rex
burg. They also held a very success
full meeting at Idaho Falls.
President Smith returns in good
health, having keenly enjoyed his visit
with the exception Of the deep regret
over the assassination Of the President.
He thinks the organization Of the
Teton Stake win greatly facilitate the
settling up Of that country, which lat
ter he commends to thu consideration
OF the home seeker.
