'NoWs representative az his aparJ-
men,s .n the Knutsiord hotel
MIR NORTHAMPTON TALKS.
Mr. Worthingou is pleasant man
10 meet and % talk 10, although he Is
decidedly one o. the class OF lawyers
who are strongly aperse TO saying
anything relative % a case In hand, TO
the newspapers
Il don't know much Of anything i'm.
Tortari 90 give out as set. although
you may hear Of something from WASH
lngton later The newspaper men there

tween the two women o. l. get /
ting % good deal VI nOtorie just now |
but as f1r their attorneys we'll they |

% like this city Of yours. ! used .
10 think Washingto. was the only city /
in America that was planned to be .
great ciiY from the beginning salt .
I'fe in it vide streets and pleasant .
vistas reminds me more OF Washington
tnan any othehr city ever saw, and
| was agreeabIy surprised 10 learn that
q. too, was pAnr 4 10 have great
future when b, .,-- lrst founded.
SENATOR SHOOTS CHANCES.
How about the case Of Senator
smoot-do you regard bis chances for
fair trial and "a just decision as favor.
ableY was suggested.
Well, yes. ! am personally ac-
quointed with most Of the members OF
the senate. and ! believe that for the
most part the senator's viii Judge the
case on its merits and according TO law
They are not men who Will DO swayed
by hearsay evidence, or who will yield
to an adverse public opinion, II the law
and the facts do not jurhfy It.
There was an editorial In the
''NeWs' the other day that ! approve
very much. IL states that the people
OF America should withhold judgment
in this case until both sides had been
heard. Much ls yet to be brought out,
and Il II manitestly unfair 10 begin H.
nal judgments az the present time"
HEARsAY EVIDENCE.
you once objected, dld you not, Mr.,
to the introduction "
hearsay evidence that would not pass
In n court Of lawg'
eyes, ! did But the explanation Of
the committee that the case was not
a trial but an Investigation covered
that point Much Of that hearmy eyi-
dence Was admitted not for its own
sake but ln the hope that II would lead
10 evidenced am assured that Il win not
stand, or receive any consideration
whatever
For instance, IN the case Of the al
legged marriage OF Apostle Cannon 20
Lillian Hamlin, the strongest witness
was Mrs Ellis, who testified that Apos-
tie Cannon. then her husband. told her
he was going to marry Lillian Hamun.
The evidence would not be admitted I'm
any court of law as proof against a
third party"
IDAHO POLITICS.
"How about the testimony Of the
Democratic state chairman up In Ida
lO?-WeIl there was one funny feature
10 H. He said that although about Ave-
ilxths " the people OF Idaho were nom
Mormous.' stlll their leaders led them
10 DO whatever the small body OF Nor
mons wanted them to- J don't know
whether that condition actually exists
bat / should consider Il highly uncom-
TO the people Of Idaho But
ann not up much ON the political side
" the question Mr.. Van Colt Ia hand
ing that phase Of II principally"
When do you expect 10 be through"
vas next suggested
WANTS TO FINNISH. =
in answer Mr. Worthington said: y
The senate wants 20 finish the case I
his session. After all our witnesses are q
MANNED, the making OF arguments /
WI consume a great deal OF time Then
here Is the preparing OF the commit 4
ee's report aud action on 1t by the sem u
te. We viii have az least 30 witnesses a
o examine. The problem with us has =
zen 70 avoid getting too many FOR &
he limited time az our disposal. We eX- e
ect 90 rush the case 10 the utmost or b
ur ability, IN conformity with the h
fishes OF the senate committee. b
There Is one other item. Tho pro- W
astants put IN a number OF extracts u
rom the Key to Theology by Farley p. al
RAFT, and on examination we found "
hat the extracts were garbledr n
Ia closing the interview. Mr. Worth. W
lgion said that he had had but little "
nance 10 see Salt Lake so FAR. but n
oped 70 look Il over moro thoroughly W
