WITNESS UP TO IMPEACH MCGEE

| of the states case in rebuttal against Will

| renee Guibbinni. the San Francisco grocer
| again on the stand He was recalled at
the request of the defense. He was asked
a few additional questions to geographi
! cal locations in the neighborhood of the
Bradley apartment house.
A. c. Cogswell of Wallace. Idaho fol-
lowed Guibbnni. He was called further
to impeach DR.. /. l.. McGee, a witness for
the defense who is under arrest, and who
! has been brought to Boise from Spokane,
where he was taken into custody. DIR.
MCGEE testified to certain dates by fix
ing the date of county republican con-
vention in Wallace. Mr.. CoSswell, who
was permanent chairman OF the conven-
ton, gave different dates. Attorneys for
the defendant moved to strike out the evil
dence as immatcrial. and when this mo-
ton was denied they declined to cross
examine.
Tilt Over Newspaper Story.
While Cogswell was on the stand the
state offered in evidence a copy of the
Idaho Tribune, published at Wallace, and
identified the official organ of the local
unions of the Western Federation of Miners
at that time. The paper contained three
column account of the blowing up of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, which the
state desired to place before the jury in
answer to Attorney BarrOw's opening state
ment that the defense would show that the
crowd which attacked the mill was an I'M
organized mob. In the argument which
arose over the admissibity of the news
paper Attorneys Hawley for the state and
Richardson for the defense had q sharp
| clash. and personalities were INDUCED in
| for the first time since the trial started
Judge Wood took the matter under add
visement, indicating that he probably would
not admit the paper. in view of the fact
that the defense had introduced no evil
dence in support of the opening statement
by counsel for the defense
Arguments May Begin Thursday
1t is possible that the prosecution in the
Haywood case will close the rebuttal this
afternoon, but more than probable tkat an
other day will be given to this feature of
the case. Counsel for the defense promise
a very brief sur-rebuttal. In fact it is esti-
mated that they may c,ose within half an
hour after the witnesses for the state have
been exhausted. If these predictions are
| verified arguments should begin by Thurs
| day.
Aller. the former ticket agent at Cripple
! Creek. who has been arrested on the charge
| of perjury. and whose bonds We're fixed at
! $4,000, was locked up in the county Jail
last night in default of bail and will be
| given preliminary hearing today. He in
sists that his testimony was true but ad-
mits that he may have been mistaken in
1 the matter of dates
| DR.. |. l.. MCGEE. the other witness for the
| defense who was arrested Sunday at Spo-
kane, Wash, and waived eXtradition,
! reached Boise yesterday MCGEE is man
| of considerable property and prominence,
and is not uneasy about the matter of bail.
In both of these cases the prosecution Will
be conducted by the county authorities.
Prosecuting Attorney Koelsch says that he
has ample evidence to prove the cases. He
has watched the progress of the Haywood
case very closely, and he makes the posi-
tive statement that every case of perjury
on either side would be prosecuted vigor-
ously. Such a course. he says, is made in
cumbent on the state. particularly in view
of the charges of unfairneSS brought
against the authorities.
No Personal Grudge.
Edward R. Award, a. druggist of Burke
! Idaho, testified that he did not see Harry
| Orchard about town during the time the
mob had gone to Wardner to blow up the

for ordering him out of the country He
denied that he had ever had any trouble on
| account of insanity or that his wife had
| sued for divorce on that ground. He was
| not living with his family. however.
| A. 1. Holman, mine operator of Cripple
| Creek. next took the stand. At the time of
| the strike Mr.. Holman was in charge of
| the Golden Cycle mine. Prior to 1903 he
| was in the indicator mine. He told of

mine was introduced in evidence and de-
! scribed to the jury in detail.
