AMALeAMATED,s CASH BOND
County Assessor Would Assess It TO
Taxation Purposes.

HELENA, MONT.-An entirely new
phase of the Minnie Healy mining litiga-.
ttion between f. August Heinze and the
Amalgamated Copper company has de-
veloped.
The title to the Minnie Healey mine is
in controversy, and when the matter WAS
application for injunction, the court or
dered the mine closed, but required the
Amalgamated to furnish $3OO,O00 bond
terests. should the case be decided in IA
vor of Heinze.
< The three bondsmen of the Amelga-
mated were objected to by Heinze's at
torneys, and one Of them was disqualified,
In lieu of this surety, the Amalgamated
company made a cash deposit of $125,000
with the clerk of the court.
County Assessor c. Fl. Martien decided
that this amount should be assessed, and
accordingly called upon Clerk Rickerts to
list the same as a personal asset.
Clerk Rickerts admitted having the
bond but desired a consultation with the
justices of the court before making a re-
turn thereon for taxation.
The assessor is letting under the law
which states that personal property is to
be assessed by the county in which the
owner trustee or holder resides, and that
| even if the actual money is in Butte
which the assessor denies, the propertS
should be assessed in this county.
| Should the court permit the clerk tc
| make a return upon the cash bond, tho
county would receive $1,6S7.50, based or
last years levy.

Mrs. Melissa Russell, who is being sued

Casstus c. Ward for the recovery Of Ger
tain valuable property alleged to have
been taken from his home, says that the
diamond ring she took from the finger

that he gave her the original and valu-

Mr.. Ward, she stated, was interested

This occupation took him into quarters
where he was afraid of being robbed,

STATES CASE IS In
Eye Witness Of the Violent Death
of the King Confused by
the Defense.
Expert Testimony to Be introduced
Bearing on the Alleged In
sanity of Hamlet.
Special to The Journal.


Iowa City, owa. March 1.-THE state
rested to-day in the murder trial Of Ham
let. The defense tangled the states best
alleged eye witness. +. j. Cole OF Ma
son City, who was compelled to admit
that he testified before the grand jury
that the killing of Claudius took place the
night of Jan. Is, 1908, whereas he now
swears it was in the afternoon.
0. w. Emmons of Iowa City, one of the
states strong witnesses, detailed circum-
stantially every event of, HamletS life
for three months before the alleged mur-
der. He testified that the prince showed
much bitterness toward the king some
time before the crime. Once when Clau-
dius excused himself for his hasty all-
ance with Gertrude. Hamlet's mother, the
stepfather addressed Hamlet as my son.
"Thereupon,'' testified the witness,
Hamlet said to me in cold sarcastic tone,
a little moree than kin, a little less than
kind 81
Shortly thereafter Emmons heard Ham
let say: "Horatio me thinks there mas
been fOuld play here, and my poor royal
fathers death not the handiwork of God,
but of some covetous devil" On or about
Jan. 5, 1908, witness was at Elsinore cas-
tie and heard Hamlet arrange with play
ers to present a play wherein appeared
o stage picture of one man, monarch,
asleep, while another man poured poison
After that play, Claudius retired to his
chamber and engaged in prayer. Hamlet,
who had reproached himself because he
had not avenged his father, started to the
kings room to slay him, but bethought
himself that the king was praying and If
he killed him his prayer would go to hea-
ven. wherefore he desisted. 81
The defense objected to this testimony
as mere conclusion" Justice Deemer OF
the supreme court Of Iowa sustained the
objection, but the witness continued: "At
any rate Hamlet said, We'll, I'll wait until
| the king is drunk or in sin and then If he
| is slain. he'll not go to heaven
| Emmons identified the &rapier. intro
| duced as an exhibit. which he swore Ham
| let used when menacing the praying kins
and when numbering Claudius later.
The defense. it is believed, will introduce
| expert testimony on Monday rendering tc
show that Hamlet was too crazy to form
| an intent to murder.
