H. Il. Howard, better known as Cur

been bound over to the district court
by Probate Judge r. S. Fulton. to
answer to the charge OF murder In
the first degree in shooting from am.
bush and killing Swan Knudson, a
rancher as he was cv,n:ng out of the
Salmon river country along the Flor
ence road. on August II, 1901.
James Wiley, brother of Edward,
who was arrested on suspicion of be-
ing an accomplice of the murderers.
has been placed under 5000 bonds to
appear at the trial as witness.
Binds Prisoners Over.
When court convened this morning
Judge Fulton said he was prepared to
rule on the motion made by the de-
fepse yesterday afternoon, after the
state had rested its case. that the
evidence did not tend to prove that a
crime had been committed, but that
If 1t did. that it did not sno~ that the
defendants were guilty as charged,
and that they be dismissed from GUS
tody.
In overruling the motion to dis
charge, to which an exception was
taken, Judge Fulton said:
"The evidence shows beyonu a doubt
that Swan Knudson had besn mur-
dered, and while the evidence does not
preclude any other person or persons
from having committed the murder.
the uncontradictd circumstantial evi-
dence is of such a nature ,nat while
perhaps not strong enough TO place
the guilt upon the prisoners beyond a
reasonable doubt, yet it is such as to
justify the court in holding the pris-
oners to trial at the next term of the
district court, which win convene on
February o."
