Boise, Ida, July 10.-The defense
in the Steunenberg murder case
charged that Detective James McPar-
land has been guilty of an attempt TO
manufacture testimony against Will

jury.
Alva A. Swain, "A newspaper CORE
spondent, who represents the Pueblo
Chieftain at Denver, was called TO
the stand and questioned as TO a con-
versation he had with Detective Nc
Parland in Denver last fall. Senator
Borah for the state objected to the
conversation on the ground that no
foundation had been laid for it,
Clarence barrow, for the defense,
who was examining Swain, explained
that the testimony was offered for
the purpose OF showing that there ex-
listed a conspiracy between the mine
wne and the Pinkertons to secure
q conviction and execution of the pris'
Oner. Mcfarland approached this
witness in an attempt to manufacture

In the evidence that furnished a prop
er foundation for the Introduction Of
such testimony and sustained the
states objection.
The defense took an exception and
said they would later make another at
tempt to secure the admission Of
SWANS testimony. Counsel for the
defense are evidently counting on
reaching the matter through McPar-
land himself, but it is quite probable
that the state will not call MCFARLAND
as a witness.

Paying Out Pension Fund.

State Treasurer r. E. Park is pay
ing out the state pension fund at the
rate of something like $4,000 a day,
and the entire $925,O00 will have been
paid out upon Pension Commissioner
Lindsey's warrants by the latter part
Of February.
The state will probably lack $780,
600 of paying the total pensions.
From the number of pensioners who
have already filed their claims and
are drawing their pensions, the APP
preparation of $86O,O00 will be with
drawn before the last counties can re-
ceive their pro rata shares. 1t is
thought that the deficit will proba-
bly, include three counties, and the
state will be placed in an embarrass-
ing position similar to that of last
lear.
Unless the state can borrow the
money the pensioners of the last coun-
ties will be compelled to wait for
their pensions until after the legig-
Iature meets and appropriates an
amount sufficient 10 cover the de-
icit.
