MOLINE

Plans Water SuppIy.-ImDroveme
which contemplate a complete water
works and sewage system for Silvis
will be carried. out next spring if the
village board finds itself able to finance
the work. H. G. Paddock, former CITY
engineer here has been engaged to
make preliminary surveys and submit
an estimate on the cost of the improv ;.
ment and he has already outlined the
general scheme for the system. SilviS
is not SO fortunate as East Moline in
possessing an artesian well, but the
probability is the situation as to water
supply will be met by sinking a well
and installing a standpipe and pump
ing station An expensive pumping
station and long stretch of mains
would be required if water were to BE-
piped from the river, and Silvis resi-
dents would hardly find the raw liquiG
from the Mississippi river satisfactory.
A filter plant would be necessary if
the plan to take water from the river
were followed. The present plans un
der consideration call for a pumping
station and a standpipe on the brow
of the bluff between Eighth and Ninth
streets. Plans for the water supply
are still in embryo, and whether Mr..
| Paddock will be able to develop well
of sufficient flow to meet the demand

Defense Demands Bill of Particulars
Don't Know Exact Charges
Prosecution Mysterious
Boise, Idaho, May 9.

Boise, Idaho, May 9.
In Judge Woods court this morning.
in the case of the state vs. Haywood
Mr.. Richardson, attorney for the de-
fense, presented an application for a
bill Of particulars.
Haywood was in court with attor-
neys Darrow and Richardson for the
defense and Borah, HawIcy and Stone
for the prosecution. All the reporters
in town on the trial were present.
They seemed to enjoy the curved shelf
fixed outside the railing for their ac-
commodation. Mr.. Richardson stated
in his preliminary remarks that the in
dictment was on charge of murder
directly and contained three counts
and that he would proceed to read the
indictment.
Its specifications as given before
were that on the 30th of December
1905 Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
were charged with assault upon Frank
Steunenberg by bomb resulting in
murder. The particulars are explos.
ives employed were specified. The
four persons were named in the in.
dictment, Meyer, Haywood, Pettibope
and Simpkins but not Orchard. Mr..
Richardson then went on to say that
while the indictment was made out
in three sections there was one gen
eral charge of murder. He said the
defendant was not in the place where
the murder was committed at the time
and that he wished information as to
what overt act he was accused of by
which he was connected with the
crime. lie must be charged with b,
ing accessory before the fact or with
being a eonspirator.
Six reasons are given for demand
ing the bill of particulars, one being
that the state might be limited in its
proof. Idaho has no statute on
bill of particulars. This is a matter
which actresses itself to the sound dis,
erection of the court. The indictment
is too general.
Mr.. Richardson qouted from wide
range of authorities to sustain his po.
sition. Ii was proper to apply for a
bill of particulars vt any time after
the fling of the complaint and before
the trial. Here Mr.. Darrow interrupt.
ed TO speak to Mr.. Richardson, where.
upon the latter states to the court
that Haywood had just suggested that
they had been refused a hearing ON
any point so long as habeas corpus
action was pending. Mr.. Richardson
asked why the defense had been kept
in darkness regarding the intentions
Of the prosecution. There was no need
Of all this secrecy and suppression of
the plan of action. They wished to
have definite Information to proceed
upon.
Here follows a little tilt between
Borah and Mr.. Richardson over the
newspapers being the only sources of
information in regard to the plans of
the attorneys. Borah accused Rich.
ardson with giving his plans to the
Statesman, Mr.. Richardson denied
the Insulation. Borah said Richard
son had changed his plans and Mr.
Richardson said he did not think any
one would connect him with the
Statesman"
In Borah's reply in the request for
particulars he said il was not in the
province Of bill Of particulars 10
Montana news. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-191?, 1907-05-09

/ call for the evidence to be presented
in case, but merely for a specfca-
tion of the charges. He SAYS what the
defense was after was the evidence Of
the prosecution. 1t was perfectly pro
per to charge the conspirators as prin-
cipals in the crime even if they were
not present when it was committed
The defense understood what the
charges were sufficiently to make the
plea of not guilty. There was spec
iiic charge of murder on certain
date. The proper time to apply for
bill Of particulars was before the
pleading.
Borah conducted himself in an ugly
and insulting way towards the counsel
for the defense when they asked ques-
tions. He made the best plea heard
from the prosecution so far. In inn
passioned tones he demands if there
was any rule of practice by which the
prosecution could be called upon to
present its evidence beforehand. The
defense was calling for proof and not
for bill of particulars. Mr.. Darrow
rose, in answer he said there was not
much as to fact to argue, but as TO
law, the request was addressed solely
TO the discretion of the court.
If the defense was accused of want
ing evidence that was what they
wanted. They had been kept wholly
in the dark as to what was against
'hem. They should have had pre-,
!iminaty hearing with defendants pres

not the state. Judge Wood here wants
to know if he was to understand that
the defendats were not ready for trial
without the bill of particulars. Mr.
Darrow answered. "No, they were
not and could not get ready They
were as ready as they could be with.
out a specification Of the charges
against them"
Mr.. Richardson here said that what
was wanted was the particular overt
act connecting Haywood with the
crime as eonspirator. Mr.. Darrow said
they had heard that forty subpoenas
for witnesses had been issued by the
prosecution, all in blank. No irforma-
tion could be obtained as to who these
witnesses were. They will travel far
away from Idaho aud bring them to
the trial. In reply Mr.. Borah states
that extreme secrecy in regard to the
names of the prosecution WAS neces-
sary in order To get the witnesses at
the trial.
Two that were to come from Colo.
RADIO could not be gotten. One refused
to come at all, aud the other has dis.
appeared. They had to work in secret
or they could never get any witnesses
at all. Darrow said il was well
known fact that the prosecution had
no power to subpoena witnesses in Col
orado to come to Idaho.

Wood announced that he would give
