spirits and joked with Peter Bellies.
Emmett Lacey and the two Stuart
brothers, who We're seated at the same

WANTS CASE POSTPONED.
Former Prosecutor Declares Dismissal
UnWarranted.

SEATTLE, Oct. 22.-Former Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney f. c. kriete, in
the capacity of a private citizen and
taxpayer demanded in open court that
Superior Judge Tallman direct Prose-
cutting Attorney Scott to proceed with
the prosecution of Nassir Khan and
Obabshaw, Afghans, charged with the
murder of Merrill, an East Indian ped
murder in the first degree last spring,
but their cases We're dismissed q few
days ago on Scott's motion for alleged
lack of evidence.
Judge Tallman denied Kriete's mo-
ton and said that as private citizen
he had no standing in court in such a
matter
The sheriff's office is cooperating
with Kriete to reopen the Afghan
cases.
Besides petitioning the court to force
Scott to prosecute the case, kriete de-
manded that the court read the tran
script of the evidence from the justice
court and see whether or not the cases
could rightfully be dismissed.
Kriete charges in an affidavit filed in
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-10-22

the superior court that the statement
filed in support of the motion for dis
missal is extremely misleading and
that Scott has taken no pains to ascer-
tain whether or not. With even the evr
dence given at the preliminary hearing
it would be possible To convict the
Afghans.
He alleges that Scott has never read
the transcript from the Justice court.
kriete. who acted for the state when
the murderers We're bound over to the
superior court. alleged that he is famil-
lar with all the features of the case
and knows that if the case is tried a
conviction could be secured
Deputy Sheriff l.. w. Nelson. who
worked on the case and has a complete
knowledge of it. also filed an affidavit
Office had not been notified of the pro-
posed dismissal of the cases and had
alleged that much new evidence was in
the possession of the sheriff and Joined
with Kriete in asking that the cases be
re-Opened.
Judge Tallman told kriete that if he
wished to have the Afghans re-arrest-
ed he should apply for a warrant in the
justice court. Kriete stated that he
had already had the men bound over
from the lower court and did not see
why it should be necessary to go
through the whole procedure.
kriete is not discouraged by his fail
ure to attain his object in Judge Tall
mans court. Immediately after his ap-
plication was denied. he took steps to
lay the matter before Justice of the
Peace George and Chief of Police De-
lanney, and was assured by Justice
George that if the witnesses We're
brought before him he would take steps
to remand the defendants back to Jail
for trial. kriete filed a formal charge
of murder against the Afghans.
The principal difficulty will be en-
cCuntered in the fact that the two ac
cuSed AfghanS are supposed to have
left the city Immediately after the dis
missal of their case and may now be
safe from arrest. Mr.. kriete says the
police and the sheriff will arrest the
men if they can be found.
They will also assist him, he says, IN
getting together the scattered states
witnesses.

met here in fourteenth annual session.

THE consumption OF lumber in the
south will probably be very greatly in
creased on account of the high prices
the southern farmers have been get.
ting for their products. Estimates Of
stocks on hand only show per cent
more January 1,l904, than WAS shown
a yea ago. When it is considered
that on account Of inability 20 obtain
transportation facilities and that there
is an actual shortage in the retail
yards of over 300, 900, 600 feet, and
that it will take the movement Of that
amount before the retail yards will
have a normal stock, il will be seen
that there is an actual shortage of lum-
Der on hand, and that the conditions
OF supply and demand are favorable to
the manufacturer "
Secretary George X. Smith said OF
the production Of lumber.
Reports from 365 mills for 1902
showed 4,536. 655, $50 feet produced.
These same mills, with thirty addi-
tional, show 4,762, 791.77s feet, an
increase of 226, 900, 900 feet We es-
innate this 10 be between 80 and 30
per cent Of the output of the six states
in which the mills are located, viz. ;
