SENSATION IN ADAMS CASE.
State Now Claims that Killing oe.
Cured on Another Date.

Wallace. Idaho.-According to the
Information filed against Adams. Tyler
had been murdered Wednesday, Au-
gust 10th, and had therefore eaten sup.
per at the Phillips house the night OF
Tuesday. August 9th.
After having given her testimony,
Mrs Phillips recalled to memory that
Tyler had eaten supper at the Phillips
cabin the night of Saturday. August
9Th, and from this 1t follows that Tyler
must have been murdered the morning
of Sunday, August 7th, the day on
which Adams arrived at Masons cabin
and participated in the birthday din
ner.
II Judge Woods, who has taken the
matter under advisement until morn
ing decides to allow the prosecution
to recall Mrs. Phillips to the stand, the
whole tenor of the case will be altered
and 1t may be shown that il Tyler was
murdered Sunday morning, Adams,
Mason and Glover. the three men i'm
plicated blythe confession in the murder.
Immediately after the crime started for
Mason S CABIN anu dIllNeu III 'iihS ~
participate in the birthday dinner, as
testified The distance between the
scene of the murder and Mason's
cabin is about fifteen miles.
Archie Phillips testified on direct ex,
animation to hearing shots about 3
O'Clock on the morning of the crime. so
that good time would be given the de-
fendant to reach Mason's cabin in time
for dinner if the murder had been COM
mitted in the morning. and the whole
case of the alibi as proved by the de-
fen3e would fall to pieces.
The matter was hotly debated by
both sides, and the oratorical enort on
the trial was made by Mr.. Darrow.
Mr.. Hawley replied well to Darrow's
arguments and the contest between thc
opposing counsel was the most brilliant
ever heard in Wallace.
Court adjourned at the close OF Mr..
Darrow's speech.
That a deliberate conspiracy was
formed among the officers OF the penl-
tentiary and the detectives to impli-
cate the leaders of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners in the assassination
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg. and that
the conspiracy was to be backed by
false evidence, obtained by threats and
bribes, is in effect the charge made by
Steve Adams before the court to-day.

Washington.-In deciding the case
