Is a Very Sick Man and Will
Have to Have Operation
Performed.
DARROW IsALsO ON SICK LIST
Western Federation Of Miners Distrib-
tes Pamphlets Regarding Enormous
Expense of Haywood Trial - Citizens
Opposed to Expense.

BOISE, Oct. 8.--Another friutless
conference of attorneys was held here
today on the proposition Of postponing
the trial of George A. Pettibone, charg-
ed with completely in the assassination
Of former Governor Steunenberg. The
lawyers viii meet again tomorrow and
unless something is definitely decided.
then the matter viii be placed before
Judge Wood for action.
Petitions is regarded as entirely too
i'll to face long trial, but the defense
has thus far refused to accept post
ponement, thereby hoping to force the
state into granting bail to the sick man.
Pettibone is suffering from specific
complaint and may never recover, He
is able now to walk about the hospital,
but an operation is still pending. This
operation can be delayed to suit the con-
venience of the defense and could be
certified to as necessary at any time.
The state fears to enter upon the trial
with this condition prevailing as the
expense would be heavy. A compaign
against spending money involved in the
prosecution of Pettibone and MoyeI
along the vigorous lines laid down in
Haywood case is being carried through
out the state and the Western Fedora
tion of Miners is distributing pamphlets
showing every item of expense incurred
in the latter case, including personal
expenditure of many detectives EN-
ployed.
The Haywood trial is said to have
cost the state in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Governor Gooding and other
state officers declare all the money nee.
essary to prosecute Pettibone will be
Forthcoming. There is absolutely - no
likelihood of his trial proceeding on the
18th, the day set.
Many alarming reports have been sent
out from here regarding the condition
of Clarence Darrow, the leading attorney
for the defense. Darrw suffered an
abscess of the left of the middle ear apd
it may be necessary to puncture his
ear drum. He was never in any danger
and was about the streets today.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES
HURT COTTON VALUES
Local Market Stronger in
Late Afternoon.

Troubles in Wall street were dis
astrous to cotton contract values yes
terday, and spread into the spot
transactions. The difficulties of the
money market deter any holding of
either contracts or spots, hence the
producer must support the market
for actual cotton as the spinners
gradually satisfy their needs. Devel-
opments yesterday added materially
to the tendency to force the grower
of cotton to feed his crop into the
market as it is needed, rather than
throw it all out within a few weeks.
Some consolation perhaps might
be derived from the fact that the de-
clines were not remarkably severe,
all things considered. The firmness
of holders of cotton, which the bear
Spectator is liable to need very bad
ly a little later, gave the latter food
for thought more than in years past
when the speculator largely ignored
the farmer.
The opening was at declines, Liver
pool being disappointing. Prices a
little later showed a tendency to adj
vance, but when the news of the sus-
pension of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company was spread abroad, the
cotton market could not be held, al
though prices conducted an orderly
retreat The close was steady New
York was u to IA points net lower
for the active months, and New Or
leans IA to 16 points below the close
for Monday for the active positions.
Spots in the former market ruled Is
points lower and at the latter IA of
a cent lower. Liverpool spots were
4 points lower with sales of 10000
bales. Futures in that market were
to points lower.
The receipts for the day at lead
ing ports we're: Galveston 1924; ;
New Orleans, 11063; Savannah 2,192.
In the Americas spot market val
ues were reduced Is of a cent from
the day before, good middling being
quoted at 10 "a cents. Sales on this
basis were made during the morning,
but in the Afternoon buyers were
bidding 10 rs cents.
The offering stock was cleaned up
at the price named, but in some in
stances warehousemen had orders
to hold for a better price. The re-
ceipts for the day were 294 bales.
