BLOW UP CABIN OF HIS FRIEND
Remarkable Story of Organized Crime
Brought to Light by Trial Of Steve
Adams for Murder at Wallace,
Idaho.

WALLACE. Idaho, Feb. ia story
Of crime and conspiracy that rivals
the days OF the Ku Klux Klan was
unfolded today in the trial of Steve
Adams, when Archie Phillips, Fred
Tyler's neignbor and friend, told Of
the Jumper Killers Association a
secret society supposed to have been
formed by men living In the woods
along Marble Creek In the Summer Of
1904. It's purpose was supposed to be
the killing of later settlers who had
jumped the timber claims Of some Of
the earlier arrivals. A Swede named
Engstrum, the witness said, was sup
posed to be the president Of this So
ciety, and Jack Simpkins. whose claims
had been jumped by Tyler, was sup
posed to be one of the ringleaders, as
was also Steve Adams.
Phillips said he left the district af-
ter Tyler was killed. 1t got too hot
for him and he was afraid to stay, he
said. About week after Phillips left
his cabin was blown up by dynamite,
destroying about $500 worth of sup
plies. Asked II he thought Adams and
ivan I've In hill Tvs
said no, but he believed the Jumper
Killers Association employed men to
do the work
Phillips testified that Tyler stopped
at his house for supper the night be-
fore he disappeared He told Phillips
that he was afraid to stay in that re-
gion; that it was getting too hot for
him, and that he was going to leave.
Cross-examination failed to shake
Phillips testimony.
Mrs Nellie Phillips wife Of the pre-
ceding witness, told of repeated see
ing Adams and Simpkins on the trail
near their home a few days before
Tyler disappeared. She told of Tyler's
last meal at their home and testified
to hearing four shots fired the next
at the time wnen the settler
is supposed to have been murdered.
Owing to the illness of Coroner Keys, |
the state asked that the court adjourn
to his home at Mullan, to take his tes-
timony. The defense offered to take
his statement given at the preliminary
examination.

MAKES MYSTERIOUS HINTS
III Feeling Seems TO Exist Between
Delmas and Prosecuting Attorney
and Latter insinuates Former
Has Broken Confidence.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.--Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw today entered on the ordeal
Of her cross examination and before
District Attorney Jerome had the wit
ness in charge half an hour, he had
secured from the court ruling which
apparently opens the way for bring
Ing into the trial OF Harry Thaw all
manner OF testimony which may tend
TO discredt the defendant wife. Here
tofore II had been held that the rule
OF evidence protected young Mrs.
Thaw, and that regardless OF whether
her story was true or false, the fact
that she had told II to her husband was
the only essential point. Mrs. Thaw
mad been allowed to repeat the story
80 the jury might judge as to its eff
feet In unbalancing the mind OF the
man on trial for the murder OF Stan
ford white. Jerome by simple ques-
tIon opened the way for the introduce
tion OF testimony tending to show the
truth or falsity of Mrs. Thaw's story.
He asked the witness:
Was the story you told Mr.. Thaw
true?"
1T was" sne replied. firmly.
Delmas objected strongly to the
question, but Justice Fitzgerald held
II competent, as tending to show the
credibillty Of the witness. Whether
Jerome intends to take advantage Of
the ruling In an attempt to throw
doubt on her story or whether Justice
Fitzgerald intended his ruling to cover
the whole subject of Mrs. Tnaw's evil
dence, the future conduct of the case
can alone determine Delmas will con-
tinue to fight with constant objections
the introduction of any testimony as
to any events In the young woman's
life, but the subject of the credibility
of the witness is a wide one and Jus
tice Fitzgerald early today indicated
that he will be liberal in interpreta-
ton of rules.
He allowed Jerome to secure from
Mrs. j, J. Caine of Boston, friend
of Mrs. Thaw, who took the witness
stand during the morning session,
many material points as to the move
mants of Harry Thaw and Evelyn
Nesblt following their return from

In bringing out these facts, jerome
denied he was attacking Mrs. Thaw,
and said he simply was testing the

attorney seemed reluctant to begin the

string to have the matter postponed
until Thursday morning in order that
he might determine whether or not

SALEM ore. Feb, i9-Whilc gem
orally protesting that the banking bill
wna not all 1t should bo for the pro-
lection OF the deposits and the ad-
vnnccment Of the banking interests,
the Senate adopted the much amended
measure after two hours OF tnlkfest.
Tho lineup on the measure was
sharply drawn ana the controversy
heated to nm extreme.
As II passed the Senate the bf1l bears
only faint resemblance to the first
bill drafted, the one on which spe-
cial committee OF bankers worked for
nearly q year.
Notwithstanding tho opposition to
the bill. It was conceded on the final
vote that this measure Is but the be-
ginning OF bank legislation, and that.
as Senator Booth predicted, II Is to
be the nucleus of stronger, better and
more carefully prepared statutes along
tho line of governing finance, 1t was
on such an understanding as this that
the Senate enacted the measure In the
last hour during which the Senate
had the power to send It's measures
Acros sthe hall to the House for ac-
ton.
President HaInes In one Of the long
est speeches OF the session fought for
the bill with success.
Under present conditions, he de-
clared, anyone can rent u shack hang
ont sign and 10 banking business.
Going into the history Of the bill,
President Haines said that two pri-
vate bankers and one national bank
err drafted the original bill, which was
submitted to the State Bankers AS
sociation and approved, More than
100 delegates we're present at the
time and favored the Dill. Ihere was
no opposition to II until 1t was intro
duced in the Senate, when several
bankers asked him to withdraw II or
let 1t die, They said they did not
want banking law. Requests had
been made to defer action and amend
ments were piled on to 1t to defeat Its
passage. The object was to kill the
bill.
"If you defeat It," exclaimed the
president "tne papers and the people
will take 1t up and those who vote TO
kill It will get what they deserve.
Don't pretend to defend bill and
amend 1t to death. Every amendment
makes It easier for the bankers. They
can loan al 1.-The capital and surplus.
