FOUND GUILTY

Denver, March 6.-"We. the jury,
find Russell Bolles guilty of murder in
the first degree as charged in the in
formation. and fix iAe penalty at life
Imprisonment"
This was tho verdict of the jury in
the case of Russell Bolles. charged with
the murder of Harold Fridborn, Decem-
ber 81, 1901.
As the twelve men. selected to be the
judges of Bolles. filed into the West
Side court room yesterday morning at
IL: As o'clock. and took their places In
the jury box solemn hush fell over
the room, and Russell Bolles, who was
sitting behind his attorney, j. Maurice
Finn, leaned forward, his white face
and tense muscles betraying the awful
suspense he labored under as he
watched 1t. knew that he had been con-
victed of one of the most heinous
crimes ever committed. He bowed
his head on his hand and said in low
broken tones. as though speaking to
himself, My God. they're going to
murder me. anyhow"
At a motion from the court. Clerk
Bishop addressed the jury: Gentle
men. have you agreed upon verdict?
he asked, and Foreman Frank O'Neilli
rising, handed the written verdict to
tne cleTh, VINO IN turn HdHutu II W the
court Judge Dixon read the pages
several times. then nodded and gave 1t
back to the clerk, who said: Gentle
men. you will now listen to the reading
Of your verdict"
The Fridborns were exultant They
shook hands with District Attorney
Lindsey and his assistant, S. n. San
born. complimenting them. and also
shook hands with each juror in turn.
After the reading of the verdict Mr..
Finn arose and addressed the court:
Your honor" said he, Il wish to
note an exception to the verdict and, in
behalf of my client, request a stay OF
execution for thirty days, that l may
prepare a plea for a new trial"
Gould you not prepare such plea in
ten days. Mr.. Finn?" asked the court
Ordinarily. yes. But in this case
will need longer time"
You may have twenty days" said
Judge Dixon.
In discussing the verdict after 1t had
been rendered, Foreman ONeill said
that the first ballot showed that it was
unanimously believed that Bolles was
guilty.
The only difficulty we had said he,
was deciding what punishment should
be meted out to the guilty man. Ten
of us thought that the evidence in the
case only warranted life imprisonment,
but there were two who wanted tc
hang him"

rlARTIN ATTACKS
THE BEEF TRUST

Washington. March Sin the House
yesterday Mr.. Martin of South Dakota
was allotted thirty minutes by the
Democratic members of the committee
controlling the time of the minority,
when he addressed the House on his
resolution providing for an investiga-
ton by the Department of Commerce
and Labor as to the cause of the differ
ence in price of beef on the hoof and
dressed.
He prefaced his remarks with high
tribute to Attorney General Knox. say
ing he considered him the most eff
cient attorney general the country has
had in the prosecution of antitrust
laws.
Mr.. Martin said that the western
stockmen had been forced to the con-
clusion that the great meat markets
OF the country were manipulated
against them. The recent meeting OF
the Stock Raisers' Association had rec
ognized this fact by resolutions favor
ing the establishment of independent
packing houses.
Mr.. Martin turned his attention to
eral in 1902 against the beef trust.
which was now on appeal before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
But" continued Mr.. Martin, so far
as the rights of the producer and con-
sumer are concerned, they are even
worse than before this injunction was
placed on this so-called trust. | think
there Is every Indication that after the
Injunction they changed their methods
and instead of agreeing and combining
in advance. their representatives go
into the market every day and when
one buys a lot of beef. the others re
frain from bidding against him. and
afterward divide up the purchase
among themselves"
Mr.. Martin related the experience of
stockmen in their efforts to dispose OF
their stock on the Chicago market.
One, he mentioned, received bid on
.trainload of stock at South Omaha. He
did not accept this bid, but his cars
were all ticketed by some one after he
had refused the bid. When he reached
Chicago he could get no other bid than
the precise one made at South Omaha.
He determined not to sell. and had to
wait for some time until finally he ac-
cepted the bid of an independent pack
er of Indiana.
Mr.. Martin said he was not one who
went into hysteria every time the word
trust was mentioned. The trust had
come to stay.
The question was. would they let the
rest of us stay. He believed big
monopoly existed in one of the food
products which should be investigated
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor in accordance with his resolu-
ton. r

Owing to the prominent part which
has been taken by Henley he is much

He referred to Henley as "an over

him." and bully" He also scared
City Marshal Runnels.
When the cases were dismissed and
court adjourned. many people fiocked
toward the hotel. While going across
from the court house to the hotel, Mr..
Richardson was accosted by Deputy
Deputy Sheriff Henley. who said:
why did you call me such names,
and what apologies have you to ofer?
The attorney replied:
81 am not making any apologies in
Telluride" to which Kenley re
sponded:
you will either make me one, or
will knock it out of youi"
He then struck Mr.. Richardson in
one eye, and again in the mouth. the
lawyers teeth cutting a cash in the
deputy's hand. Mr.. Richardson re-
ceived. a discolored eye and four of his
teeth were loosened.
He started to run toward the hotel
but the deputy sheriff caught him and
struck him in the face again. A. II.
Floaten then offered some remarks and
the deputy struck him on the chin.

Washington, March 5.-Attorneys for
the protestants in the Smoot inveslga-
ton said they intended to prove that
the defendant is associated with an or
ganization which practices polygamy
and connives at violations OF the law,
and that his very vote as senator OF
the United States is subject to the
wish and command of the Mormon
Church.
President Joseph F. Smith confessed
that he himself had continued to CO.
habit with his plural family since the
manifesto of 1880 and that he realized
fully that he was violating the state
laws. President Smith also testified
that Reed Smoot tried to get the con-
sent of his associate apostles In tne
church before he could become candi-
date for senator.
Questions were directed to ascertain
Mr.. Smiths knowledge of the polyga-
nous marriages of Frank Cannon and
whether Mr.. Smith had performed the
service uniting Mr.. Cannon and Lillian
Hamlin.
Mr. Smith said he had seen news
paper reports saying tnat he had done
SO. but he denied the truth of the
statements. Then Mr.. Taylor asked
number of questions which brought out
statement from Mr.. Smith regarding
his own position under the laws cover
ing polygamy. He acknowledged that
he had violated them continuously
since the manifesto OF 1890 and is
ready now and always has been ready
to face the laws of the land. Mr. Tay-
Ter asked:
is cohabitation with a plural wife
contrary to the rules of the church? :?
Mr.. Smith asked and received per-
mission to make a statement and then
answer the question in his way. He
spoke with great feeling, just the re
verse of his attitude on the stand at
yesterdays hearing. saying:
In regard to the status of polyamy
at the time of the manifesto l want to
say that after the hearing before the
master of chancery l understood that
we should abstain from relations with
our. plural families and that rule was
observed up to the time the enabling
act went into effect admitting Utah as
a state. Under that act the only pro-
hibition was that plural marriages
should cease. Nothing was said about
cohabitation with our wives"
with the wives you had married
previous to the manifesto, you mean?'
interrupted Mr.. Hoar.
THAT is what | meant" said Mr..
Smith.
Il understood that plural marriages
were to cease and ever since the mani
