but the talk" was SO weak that
Justice Hinkle imposed upon Will
son q sentence all out of keeping
with his previous sentences in like
cases.
People are up In arms at the
action Of the prosecuting attorneys

forced that Office to ask that Mac
donald be brought into the case,
and It would therefore not have to

Journals attacks which threatened,
should the prosecutors let Wilson
OF las has been the custom in
other cases Of like nature.
Since the sentence, The Press
has investigated the sudden change
of front on the part OF Prosecuting
Attorney Barnhart. and it has
learned the following facts: Will
son was given this severe sentence
owing to the fact that Edgar Riste
and Dick Nuzum, his attorneys, had
withdrawn as his representatives
at law, for the reason that he
(Wilson) had refused to be held
up" for $500 as attorneys fees for
work which only required them to
make short talk before the court,
asking for dismissal of the case.
Attorney Riste, the first one
who undertook the defense Of
Houghtaling, stated to a Press rep
resentative today that he had asked
the assistance of Dick Nuzum be-
cause he had a strong political fol-
lowing and could use his influence
with the morning sheet not to pur-
sue the matter further, and as he
(Riste) was rather a small fish, the
morning paper would crush him.
Riste Is further charged with Of
fering to "cut up" this $500 with a
Press reporter who has been work

that l had withdrawn from the
case. along with Nuzum, for the
reason that we could see no money
in 1t. II Houghtaling would have
signed the note for $400 We could
have got it and more too from a
friend of his who was willing to
pay 1t. l took trip to Palouse
City Saturday for the purpose Of
seeing his friends and he told me
he was willing to settle any note
Houghtaling might sign"
Riste further stated that If The
Press reporter would go to Hong
falling and induce him to sign the
note, the case would be dismissed,
and anything further is brought
up We will see that the girl is hid
den and, If necessary, spirited out
of town.
R. M. Barnhart, prosecuting at.
torney, by request of Captain Of
Police Coerly. gave his word Of
honor at a:S0 last night that there
was no case against Houghtaling
which he felt sure of proving and
said he would attend to the matter
personally and have the case dis
missed this morning.
Barnhart did not appear this
morning, but had his deputy, Cor
don. ask for a continuance until
this afternoon. This continuance
was asked for owing to the compli-
cations which arose when Barn
hart was told of Houghtaling' at
torney inability to hold up their
client for $500.

ERECTION OF STATION TO
BEGIN IN SIXTY DAYS
General Superintendent A. E.
WeIby Gives Out Some
Important Facts.

The first official announcement rela-
Grande and Western Pacific passenger
depot in Salt Lake City was made by
A. z. Welby, general superintendent OF
the Rio Grande, to a Tribune repre-
sentative In an interview with that
gentleman last night.
VIII Cost 100000.
THE supposition Is that according to
present plans actual work on the new
depot on Fourth West, between Sec
ond and Fourth South streets, Will be-
gin before the summer is over. prob
ably In about sixty days." said Mr.
Welby. There VIII be four tracks on
Fourth West and the platforms will be
about 700 feet long. The main entrance
to the depot Will be at tho intersection
OF Third South and Fourth West, the
wings Of the station extending north
and south on Fourth West. The ap-
proximate cost of the structure is es-
tlmated at $4,000 The tracks VIII
not be covered and there will be no
train sheds, as the dripping OF the rain
and the melting of the snow running
off the roof of the sheds makes them
OF little or no advantage as protec-
tion.
THE intersection OF Third South and
Fourth West streets is now closed to
traffic, as preliminary work. such as
surveying for trackage and SO forth,
will begin almost Immediately. The
junction for passenger trains for the
depot from the main line Will be made
near Roper avenue or Tenth South, the
company owning property and right
of-way all through that section. The
trains will come on to Fourth West
~ jnininp
Utah Central tracks, now owned by
the Rio Grande, and thence on to the
depot. All the present traCkage and
the ground where the present depot
stands will be utilized for freight pur-
poses. thus giving ample accommoda-
tion for this business.
Entrance From the North.
Trains from Ogden and the north
Will enter the depot by crossing Sec
ond South street. The company holds
q franchise extending to the northern
limits OF the city. At point near the
chemical works. In North Salt Lake.
a passenger line Will be diverted from
the present main line and trains Will
be brought to the depot over this new
track"
Mr., Welby did not specially outline
this entrance from the north, but the
route has been surveyed and virtually
located.
One of the Finest.
The plans of the new depot are still
in the hands OF the architects in Chi
cago. being modified In some respects,
and just as soon as they leave their
hands and the changes are finally ap-
proved by the proper officials every
thing Will be In readiness for the COM
mencement of work The depot Will

ture. the main entrance being sur
mounted by high tower and In every
feature and facility 1t will be mod
