JUDGE BEATTY
TALKS TO JURY
Instructs Them as to What
| Must Decide Their
Verdict

Special to Evening Teller.
( MOSCOW, Idaho. Nov 21.-When
Judge Beatty gave his instructions to
the jury yesterday. Just before the
Robnett case went into their band. he
was listened to attentively. Judge
Beatty said in part:
I'm subornation Of perjury the
subernor or the party who brochures
another to commit the perjury must
know that the matter or thing which
he procured another to swear to q
false and ne must also know and bes
lseve that the party who takes the
false oath knows when he takes Il
that - false. or to restate this, a.
applied to the facts In this case, II
you ma that the defendant Robnctt
procured these parties. Robinson and
Ferris. to make the sworn statement
- to the land and that they. Robinson
and Ferris, knew that such statement
he. Robnett. knew that such state
rnent was false. ana that they knew
4 was false. then No u guilty Of the
crime charged In the indictment q
subornation OF perjury. Those are
important matters and hope have
made them clear to you 30 that you
Will remember them. Perhaps would
better repeat them. First, you must
ma. IN order to hold the defendant
guilty under this indictment, that he
procured these parties or either one 81
them to make that false abatement,
that IL the abatement that they had
been upon the land, ana he must nave
known 1T the time he procured them
to make the statement that they had
not been upon the land. He also
must have known at that time that
they know they had not been upon
the land. and that they knew the
statement was false. Then II you
find those against him. you must u
course find ne ID guilty * the offense
charged, hut II Won fail to IND eitns
one Of thoses then YOU cannot finJ
him guilty. 81 far AZ / remember
the only direct testimony upon, those
points II that Or Robinson ana Ferris
ana they support them iii. Theil
testimony h to the erect thar they
took the oath. ana that the defendant
Robnett, knew they had not been and
that he knew also that they knew the,
had not been upon the land and that
he procured them to swear that they
had been.

is that they have committed perjury.
That Is a fact. They admit that.
and that Is the reason why you should
closely scrutinixe AMI examine their

Is to so instruct you as that your
minds may not be drawn off or away
