COFFELl TRIAL BEGINS
Attorney Says State Has a Clear Case
Against Him.

Winfield, Kanses, April "a jury
in the ColTelt case was secured today,
aud when court convened at 1870 this
afternoon, County Attorney Torrance
made the opening statements for the
state. He told of the murder of George
c. Montgomery, Santa Fe detective,
on the night OF October .. While he
was reading at his home, in this city,
he was shot dead by an assassin onthe
outside, who filled his head and shoul-
ders with buck-shot.
The prosecution said they would en-
deavor to prove that u conspiracy was
formed, which resulted in the death of
Montgomery. He said the evidence
shows that CofIelt had made three at
te npts before he succeeded and that
he was in Winfield several times un-
der different names and disguises, for
that purpose, and that on the night of
the murder, about fifteen minutes be-
fore the deed was committed, Coifelt
wLs seen going toward Il 9 Mont gom-
cry residence with shot gun under
his arm. He said the state would
prove that the two set. of tracks found
below the Montgomery residence fit
the shoes of Colfelt and w. c. John
son, now in Jail on the same charge,
He said evidence would show that Cof-
felt became confused after killing his
man, and did not carry out the plan
of escape arranged, out went south to
Arkansas City, Ponca City and to the
"10l" ranch. In finishing his state
ment he said:
"We will show you that CofTelt got
the shot at Elgin, Kas., with which he
killed Montgomery, and that he said
to responsible party that he per
formed the deed. "

The Orange Free State Burghers, How

BY scripps- McHae Press Assn.
Pretoria, April l0-A conference of
the fighting Boer leaders will occurr
at Klerksdorp shortly. Those gather
ing there now with British permission;
are former president Steynn, former
secretary Of state Reitz, acting presi
dent Schalkburger, general Lucas
Meyer, Louis Botha. Generals De-
larey and Dewet are expected.
THE MEETING IN PROGRESS.
BY scripps-McRae Press Assn.
London, April l0.-ln the house of
commons today Secretary Broderick
said that General Kitchener had cable q
that the meeting OF the Boer leaders
at Kerksdorp was now progressing.
He added that Dewet and Delarey had
arrived aud also three of the former
members of the Orange Free State
government.
TRANSVAALERS FOR PEACE.
London, April 9-The Associated
Press understands that peace negotia-
tions are progressing satisfactorily,
so far as the Transvaalers are con-
cerned, but the latest advices indicate
that there is small probability of the
Free Staters surrendering in a body.
The negotiations thus far have been
mainly explanations of British iRten
tions. II has been plain to the lead
ers that their surrender will not entail
banishment and this has been u potent
influence. The leading 'Transvaalers
urge their allies to arrange peace
terms. The inner circles of the war
Office believe that If the present indica-
tions are fulfilled and the Transvaal-
ers agree to surrender, the backbone
of Boer resistance will be broken and
that the Free Staters' opposition will
soon be overcome.
General DeWet and ex-President
Steyn are the two big leaders OF the
Orange Free State forces. Botha and
Delarey are operating in the Transvaa al
now.
The charges against the conduct OF
| British troops in South Africa, attri-
buted to General Delarey, have not
/ been brought to the notice OF the war
Office and will be ignored, until a
question upon the subject is asked in
the House of Commons. Even in thi.
event. il is not probable that any ac
| tion will be taken, unless n response
BILE authority formulates charges i'm q
imore-lelinite and direct form. II j..
pointed out that, if General Delarey
/ had wanted to make such allegations
he had ample opportunity to commun
icate them to Lord Kitchener, who. it
is believed at he war office, would
have notified the home government o
the fact, which he has not done. Tht
war Office officials ridicule the idea tina
the charges contain any truth and are
inclined to assign their origin to pure
ly continental sources. The allega
tions have created little ripple of in
terest in the war office circles and ever
the pro-Boer press, members OF thu
House of Commons, and others ap
pear to attach small Importance to tn
matter. General Delarey's courteou
treatment of General Methuen, it is as
serted, makes il difficult to believe tina
the Boer commandant was PERSONAL
responsible for the complaints whic
include the persecution of Delarey'
own family,
