GRAND JUlY'S WORk
UPHELD by pOINDXTER

Judge Poindexter yesterday after
noon late, after listening all day
to the fulminations of encyclopedia
technicalities regarding the validity
of the recent grand jury in the
Prall, Franzen and Messner cases,
decided that there was something
to law besides technicalities. In
his opinion, expressed as he denied
the motion to quash the indict-
ments, frequently appeared the
words unless prejudice be shown"
and "unfairness to the defendant"
In ruling on the matter of the
effect of the presence of the prose-
cutting attorneys stenographer in
the courtroom while testimony was
taken, the judge held that while in
stance might be cited where for
some specific reason indictments
had been quashed, the general
weight of authority was not that
way. He stated that no question
that the defendants had been
prejudiced had been raised AS to
the fact that the venire was issued
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-09-16

on old blanks handed down from
territorial days of the United States
court, Judge Poindexter said that
the point was purely technical and
did not involve any unfairness to-
ward any interested individual. AS
to the drawing of the grand jury,
he felt that nothing in way of de-
parture from substantial provisions
Of statute had been done. He
thought that the question whether
the judge had been standing or sit
ting or on the bench or in a corner,
was frivolous unless some prejudice
to the defendant had been shown
The effect of this decision, until
it is overthrown, is to protect the
entire transactions of the grand
jury. Friends of indicted county
officials believe that, though the
indictments will not be quashed, it
is another question whether con-
viction will follow 1t is even con.
sidered that when the prosecuting
attorney gets to work on the evil
dence he may take the view that

incorporators. The capital stock
was placed at 100000.
The objects of the company were
stated to be building line be-
tween Seattle and Spokane. SpO-
kane and Portland and Seattle and
Portland; also to own bridges over
the Columbia and own and oper-
ate steamboats,, telegraph and tele-
phone lines.
The organization of this company
shows the practical ratification of
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific and gives the lie to all
statements by railroad officials
that these two lines can not use
the same tracks and depot facilities
in the city of Spokane.
1t does not yet appear whether
the Great Northern Is to build to
connect with the new line at Ken
newick. but undoubtedly great rail,
road developments are on the tapis
for eastern Washington.

CHURCH WILL
OPEN SUNDAY

The dedication exercises of the
new church of the First Evangeli-
cal congregation, at Indiana ave-
nue. and Lincoln street, will be held
tomorrow at 10 a. m. and 2 p. m.
The exercises will be conducted by
Rev. Schoenhuth and Rev. Stahl in
the morning and by Revs. Durham
and Nauman in the afternoon.
These services will be in German
In the evening there will be an
English service. Rev. Smith of
the Centenary Presbyterian church
will speak. Two choirs from Spo-
kane and one from Ritzville will
furnish the music.
The dedication exercises proper
will occur at 10 a. m. and will be
in charge of the pastor, Rev. E. j.
Fleer.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-09-16

he can not convict The charge is
that of felony, and the evidence
must be quite convincing in order
to obtain a conviction, and unless
the testimony possible to be adduc-
ed is far greater than that given
before the grand jury itself, the
contingency of trial is very re-
mote. Attorneys of the city ex-
press the view that the county Of
ficials indicted for bribery will
never be brought to trial and that
motion to dismiss the proceed
ings vii be made on the part of the
state.
The next formal move in all the
cases in the hands of Sullivan, Nu-
yum & Nuzum and Horace Kimball,
growing out of indictments by the
grand jury, will be the arguments
of demurrers, based on the propo-
sition that the indictments do not
state sufficient facts upon which to
base the charge conveyed. Argu-
ments have been set for next Satur-
day morning.

Inmates of the Hotel Pony init
mate that Anderson had been at
tentive to Mrs. Bonham. This Mr..
Bonham denied at the police sta
ton this afternoon.
DR.. Webb, who was called in to
attend Bonham's injuries, stated
that the mans jawbone was splin-
tered and could not be set. The
bone will have to heal of itself, and
it is thought Bonham may be dis
figured for life.
City Detective McPhee arrested
Anderson at 2:30 o'clock this after
noon. At the police station Ander-
son said: Il was in my room at
about O'Clock this morning when

ing from room 10. | rushed in there

MAN BADLY BEATEN
AND JAW bPQKEN IN
THE PONY HOT.

With his jawbone smashed to
splinters, one eye cut and black
ened and his left ear lacerated as
the result of an encounter with
Oscar Anderson, bartender en-
ployed at the Wallace bar. in room
10 of the Hotel Pony at O'Clock
this morning, Frank Bonham ap-
peared in the police court this
afternoon and swore out a warrant
for Anderson's arrest.
Bonham is a theatrical man and
has been working in some of the
local theaters for the past several
months. The trouble this morn
ing arose over an alleged attempt
on the part of Anderson to inter-
fere in the family affairs of Bon
ham.
In giving his account of the af-
fair this afternoon, Bonham said:
My wife and were having some
words in our room when Anderson
came in. He started to talk to
my wife. told him that if he had
nothing else to say, | would bid
him good night. He then spoke

Another robbery was reported to

the cash register outside and
smashed it to atoms. There was
no money in the till and the thieves
had their work for nothing.

James Dalton, accused of being
the slayer of Policeman Stotko, did
not care to plead this morning, and
his attorney, f. G. Riste, asked
for more time. The court declined
on the ground that if more time
was needed to get hitherto I'M
known evidence for the defense it
might be done later. Mr.. Riste
took an exception to the ruling for
immediate plea and filed motion
to quash the indictment on the
grounds taken by the lawyers in
the Prall, Franzen and Messner
cases of yesterday. The court de-
MED the motion. Mr.. Riste then
gave notice of a demurrer and the
court overruled the demurrer. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty, but the
day was not set for trial.

cling man out on bond after in

"McDermott, If you had been be-
fore trial jury to which the facts
were presented as the court now
understands them to be you now
might be facing sentence for muir
der in the first degree. 1t is fortu-
nate for you that the crime here
now is but murder in the second de-
gree. The murdered man was pur-
suing his peaceful avocation. 1t is
not necessary in this age of civiIiza-
ton that person should go armed
against attacks, but it is necessary
for the public safety that the law
be observed. Your victim had given
you no reasonable offcnss, and the
most favorable aspect of your crime
against the Individual and against
public safety is murder in the sec
ond degree. The sentence of the
court is that you be confined in the
state penitentiary at WaIla WaIIa

the costs of this prosecution"
Such was the deliverance of
Judge PoindeXter this morning in
connection with the sentence of the
court on the slayer of Otis Delacey,
the Central Cafe waiter.
McDermott had pleaded influence

He had told the judge that he did

DECISION IN
MINING CASE

Judge Poindexter this morning
handed down a decision in the case
of Bradbury VS.. Waukegan Milling
& Smelling company, a case which
has attracted much attention on
the part of mining men and at
torneys because of the fine points
of mining law involved, holding in
favor of the plaintiff along general
lines.
