Deputy Sheriff MacPugh and
Special Agent McDermott, of the
Spokane & Inland, at O'Clock this
morning arrested Tom Blair and Ed
Haviland, two safe crackers, as
they were seated in an incoming
electric train about eight miles
from Spokane. 1t developed they
were the men who did the Tekoa
job.
Mac Pugh some time ago re-
ceived information that every time
there were any robberies or safe
cracking along tn Spokane & In
land line two suspicious characters
would be seen on the train. Con.
ductor Reynolds was the informant.
Thursday night the Tekoa,
Wash, jewelry store was robbed OF
$4,000 worth of diamonds, watches
and expensive jewelry. Pugh,
Harry Draper and Special Agent
McDermott yesterday went to Wav-
erly and worked over that section
of country with the Draper hounds.
No trace of the safecrackers was
found. They returned to town and
this morning Pugh received a tele'
gram from Conductor Reynolds
that the same two suspicious char.
acters had boarded his train.
Pugh and McDermott then took
an outgoing train and met the Wav'
erly train eight miles out.
Boarding the train without ex'
citing suspicion the officers ap
preached the suspects from the
rear and before they could draw
any weapons Pugh and McDermott
had them covered with their guns
and commanded them to hold VI
their hands.
Each suspect had a 45 calibre
| Colts revolver. Between them, un
| der the seat, weer two small grips

GOES TO JURY

quick verdict Is predicted e. y
Prosecutor Barnhart's review O
the case was clear and strong. He
brought tears to the eyes of many
when in low, clear voice he said:I
"Mrs. Sloane, I have no doubt,
would rather walk upon the gallows
herself than have her SON go
there -
He scored DR.. J. M. Semple for
unprofessional conduct, saying:
mo professional man has a right
to frame up a theory such as DIR.
Semple did, then get evidence and
he paid for it, and then afterward
take the witness chair as an exS
pert. That is overstepping the
bounds of professional propriety."
The rest of his argument was a
careful review of the case, in which
at times he was very dramatic.
The court room and outside cor.
ridors were damned with crush
of people that it needed three
deputy sheriffs to control.

Prosecutor Barnhart closed his
argument to the Sloane jury about
1 o'clock this afternoon in a burst
Of oratory. Court then adjourned
until 1880, when Judge Huneke de-
livered his charge and the Jury re-
tired to consider the case of Sidney
Sloane.
Mr.. Barnhart's argument began
at 10 O'Clock this morning, follow
ing Attorney Robertson's closing
for the defense. During the prose
cutor's talk at times Attorney Rob-
ertson interposed objections in a
voice husky with hoarseness
caused by more than eight hours
pleading for the life of his client.
Barnhart's argument lasted about
three hours. He was unable to
make longer address and is now
on the verge of breakdown from
the arduous trial. Assistant Prose
cutor Fred Pugh is in a bad way
and looks pale and haggard. Attor
ney Robertson IS worn out and
judge and jury look haggard. A

Having adopted the policy Of re-
fusing employment to union men in
this city. the Home Telephone Co.
seems to have progressed from
that stage to rejecting non-union
men. The Home concern has late
ly developed a pronounced leaning
to Italian labor.
Several of the non-union men in
the employ Of the Empire Electric
Construction Co., which Is sub-
sidiary concern Of the Home Tele-
phone Co., quit work today because
they claimed that white men were
being Disseminated against in ia
yor of Italians"
The men say that for several
days past the foremen in charge
Of the excavation work of the new
company have made 1t a rule to
refuse employment to Anglo-SaXons
but have employed Italians. They
argue this means that 1t is only a
matter of short time until all the
Americans would be replaced by
cheaper men from Italy.
Rumors of dissatisfaction among
the men reached w. NJ. Mcfarland
head foreman, and when the men
showed up for work this morning
they weer informed that 'if any OF
them had any objections to work
ing with Italians that they could
get their time" Several immediate
