HATTIE PILCHER BEING TRIED
Many Witnesses in the Peculiar Case
at Miller, S. D., in Which School
Teacher is Accused of Robbery.

Miller, s. d., Jan. 2S.-Before
crowd that completely filed the Hand
county court room, the preliminary
hearing of Hattie Pitcher, accused Of
administering ether to Wilber Quirk,
with intent to rob, began at IL a. m.
today, Justice +. II. Douglass, to
whom a change of venue was taken
from E. j. Miller, presiding.
The evidence of Quirk, who re-
lated the details of the hOldup in the
Collins drug store the night of Janu-
ary -, in no manner connected the
defendant with the crime, but the
states attorney, J. II. Cole, told the
court that testimony was at hand to
establish that fact.
Miss Pitcher appeared in charge of
Sheriff Abbott's wife. She was heav-
! lily yelled and at no time during the
morning session did she permit a
| glance at her features. She sat quiet
ly behind her attorney Judge Pusey,
with whom she occasionally consulted
Her lover, Dick Romig, sat near the
jury box with WILDER Quirk, the prin-
Cipal witness for the state. The young
men came to court together The de
! fcndants former friends, who were
among the most prominent people of
! Miller, declined to speak to her She
was later taken back to the Jail The
only person acknowledging her bows
was Qurk.
Miss Pitcher Laughed.
During the time Quirk was telling
his story Miss Pitcher laughed and at
adjournment turned to her attorney
Il wish you would put me on the
stand right away" she said. I've got
something to say that will clear up
| this mess"
Judge Pusey declares his client has
not told him what connection, if any,
she has with the case. She still ac-
counts for the bullet wound in her
shoulder by saying she tried to kill
! herself,
Quirk's story in brief was that two
men, a tall and a short one the latter
/ holding a gun in the left hand-the
defendant is left handed-got into
/ the drug store the night of January
/ p and after forcing him at the point
of the pistol TO open the safe, they
compelled him to fiji a bottle Of ether
drinl, some laudanum and then bound
and gagged him and then admins

In speaking of the sale, the Denver Times

The Denver, Lakewood & Golden rsi =
road, operating between Denver and Col

Chancery Marshall K. johnson for sI75,-
900. The purchaser was the Farmers
Loan and Trus, company of New York,
and the purchase was made for the account
OF the bond and coupon holders of the
road. This simply means that the road
will be thoroughly reorganlzed within
the next few days and new policy of
operation outlined. The policy, while
not officially announced at this moment
will be the extension of the line through
to Idaho Springs, the abandonment f
steam for electricity and the virtual met
morphosis of the little line into a real
trunk line. The sam Newhouse interests
are at the helm now and little time vii!
be lost III getting things into operation.
Mr. Blanc stated after the sale was ovt r
that he would remain in Denver long
enough to complete the transfer OF the
property and to effect the reorganization
Of the new company. This would be the
matter Of a few days only, he said. The
road, he thought. would be extended con-
