SOCIETY


The reception at the Alta club last
evering was in all respects the most
elaborate event in society for many
months. The club house was thrown
completely open and a brilliant throng
hiied the spacious rooms and enjoyed
the gay dance from early in the even
ing till midnight. Never has the place
presented so enchanting a picture and
never has its hospitality been more
thoroughly enjoyed
The guests entered by the south en-
trance and on the lower floor rooms
were fitted for the ladies' wraps and
for those Of the men. while the low
picturesque room IN the middle was
hung with vines ard furnished with
punch bowl and smoking things. On
the main floor stood the receiving party
In the west end of the dance hall be-
fore a screen of palms which concealed
the musicians. A long vista Of lights
say with streamsrs and showers Of
ferns studded with carnations Of deep
rec met the eye as the guests were re-
ceived, while on every side were palms
and ported plants.
IN the room beyond the dancing floor
cards were arranged for those who did
not dance, and in the outer rotunda
ropes of colored lights twined with sni-
lax studded with carnations were
strung across the space. On the upper
floor three rooms. the large dining room.
the gold room and the smaller room TO
the south were fitted for the refresh
ments. A wealth Of smilax and aspara-
gus plumosa formed ropes from chan
deliers to the corners Of the rooms, and
tall vases Of choice roses decorated
e.. Oh table. Around the central pillar
In the main dining room was formed a
bank OF ferns and ported plants, and
steamers Of ferns and flowers were fes-
toned from light to light. The whole
effect was of q most artistic arrange
ment and the skill and good taste Of an
excellent decorator were evident. Ev-
erything that could add to the pleasure
OF the guests was done, the arrange
ments and receiving committee spar
ing no pains to make the event nOta-
bic one.
In the receiving party the following
ladies stood with Mr.. d. r. Burley:
Mrs. Samuel F. Fenton, Mrs. Edwin F.
Holmes, Mrs. Walter G. Filler and Miss
Margaret Park. Mr.. E. 2. Wicks. Mr..
Warren c. Bogue and Mr.. BenneT X.
Smith were assisting in the entertain
ment of guests. Everything was thor.
oughly informal and about 250 guests
enjoyed the evening.

cupied the entire time of the
court this week. The greater
part of Monday was consumed in
the selection of a jury, for which
a special venire was issued.
The jurors, as finally accepted,
were: J. H. Harris, w. ID. Clay
pool, M. Dickinson, VIM. Grav-
ellie, Charles Cloud, Roy Kirp-
atrick, VIM. Feagles, Fred Wal
teck, John COlling, E. H. Neffe,

ton.
The taking of testimony com
menced late on Monday and
continued until nearly noon
today. some twenty or more
witnesses having been placed on
the stand. Among the most
important witnesses for the
prosecution were Santiago Vigil,
father of the murdered boy; A lbert
Cavaness, E. G. Conway and
Henry Taught. The evidence
given by them was very damag
ing to the defendants, and after
the most iucisive Cross-question-
ing remained mistaken.
lack Booth having admitted
the killing of Wiley Berry and
Juan Vigil, the plea made in his
behalf was selfdefence, he claim
ing that young Berry fired at
him first, the bullet perforating
the cantle of his (Zack Booth's)
saddle, which was introduced in
evidence. On behalf of John
Booth it was claimed that he
neither participated in, nor was
present at the killing of Berry
and Vigil. The testimony of
Santiago Vigil, however, refuted
this claim. He testified that
early on the morning of the
murder two men on horses whom
he positively id entitled as lack
and John Booth, rode up to where
he was holding the Berry sheep
and ordered him to drive the
sheep away from that part of the
range. He told them that he
could not do so without orders
from the boss, and when asked
bv them where the boss was and
he pointed in the direction Of the
camp. they rode away toward it.
In about 20 or Is minutes the
witness heard a succession of
Snips and the St. Johns herald. [volume] (St. Johns, Ariz.) 1903-1905, 1904-06-25

abhOrrent at recital of how,
after he had shot Juan Vigil, and
his victim lay struggling con-
vulSively, he stood over him and
fired the final shots from his
six-shooter into the body of the
poor boy, for the purpose, he
said, of putting him out of his
misery"
The case was given to the
jury at 7 o'clock, and a number
of persons waited around the
court house, expecting that a
verdict would be soon agreed
upon, but this reasonable hope
gradually diminished as the
hours sped. About 9:3O this
evening a message from the jury,
asking for further instruction,
was delivered to Judge Kent,
whose answer was that he had
no authority under the Arizona
statute to give additional in
StruCtiOnS.
At 10 o'clock after several
ballots had been taken, and there
appeared to be no possibility Of
an agreement, the jury was per-
mitted to retire to their quarters
in Odd Fellows building. where
they had already spent three
nights,

9:30 O'clock, A. M.
Upon the converting Of court
at OILS O'clock this morning it
was announced by Ed STANLEY,
bailiff in charge of the jury in
the Booth case, that the jury had
a report to make.
The jury then filed in and the
defendants we're brought into
court.
The jury was asked by the
court if they had agreed upon
verdict and they answered, we
have" and the foreman handed
the verdict to Clerk of the Court
c. II. Martin who was directed
to record, and then announce it.
The verdict read:

two men who had accoSted him
half an hour before, riding away
from the camp in the opposite
direction from which he was APP
preaching.
Reaching the camp, Santiago
Vigil said he found the bodies of
Wiley Berry and his son, Juan
Vigil, lying dead where they had
been shot down. One of BerryS'
arms was lying partially in the
camp fire, and he moved Berry
away from the fire a short dis
lance and, having covered both
bodies with canvas, he FASTENED
to a ranch, several miles away,
to tell of the murder, and procure
assistance. Returning, with
others, to the scene of the killing
Santiago Vigil found that during
his absence, Berry's body had
been moved and Berry's gun
placed under the body. The
horses ridden by the two men
were afterwards trailed from
where they left the camp, and
it was shown they had made
circuit back to where the men
had talked with Santiago Vigil
early in the morning, which
strongly suggests the theory that
they returned expecting to find
the old man where they had left
him, and with determination
to kill him also, and thus remove
the only witness who might be
able TO connect them with the
murder OF the two boys.
The introduction Of testimony
having been completed shortly
before noon today, Judge Kent
delivered the instruction to the
jury, which were regarded as
very clear and fair. The argum-
ents commenced Immediately
after the noon recess and we're
not concluded until about O'clock
Dist. Atty. Geo. r Hill opened
/ for the prosecution, and his
review of the evidence was clear
and the argument lopical, charg-
ing the defendants with the
commission of the crime.

THE DUTY OF CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt stated to con-
gress the sum and substance of the
whole Panama affair in the following:
lin conclusion let me repeat that
the question actually before this gov
Arnment is not that of the recognition
of Panama as an independent republic
That is already an accomplished fact.
The question, and the only question,
is whether or not we shall build an
isthmian canal.
This should make it plain to con-
gress that there is no justification for
taking up time in useless discussion of
whether the United States did right
or wrong in recognizing Panama.
This, as the president explains, has al
ready been settled by the president,
who is willing to assume full response
bility for il, leaving nothing for con-
gress to do but consider the Panama
treaty. The quicker it does this and
gets il settled, the sooner will prepar-
ations be made for beginning work
on the canal
Too many members of congress de-
lay business by wrangling over dead
issues, and taking up time that could
be proiitsbly devoted to something
else in discussing the advisability of
things that have already been done.
Therefore let the question of Colon
bia and Panama drop, and dispose of
the Panama treaty. The Colombian
incident is closed so far az this gov.
eminent is concerned. Panama is an
independent government which has
been recognized by this and other gov.
ernments, and has signed treaty with
us. All that congress now has TO dc
is to ratify that treaty and begin the
canal
