The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1907-11-21

he presumed to be the bodies of Nc
ed, he said, to help lift two oblong
objects, wrapped in tarpaulin, into
sheep camp wagon, and afterwards
drove the wagon. When he demurr-
ed, one of the Calder boys told
him that if he didn't obey and do
as he was told, he'd put him (F'ish-
err along with the "other two stiffs"
in the wagon.
Fisher then told how they drove
across country for two of three days,
was told to remain behind and look
after the 100 sheep which they
were driving along with the wagon
towards Miles City. Billy Calder
then went ahead, and built up a pile
of logs beside a small creek. He
then called to Fisher to come up and
help burn the bodies; SO Fisher went
on up, helped take them from the
wagon where they had been carried
for three or four days, and put them
on the pile of logs where they were
burned.
During this graphic recital of the
details of a crime committed de-
cade ago, the crowd in the stuffy
courtroom sat motionless and atten-
tive; it almost seemed that, the wit
ness, now living quiet, pastoral life
in the happy Wenatchee Valley, was
again on trial for his life, as he was
ten years ago, when, as mere boy,
he faced stern jury. of frontiers
men in the then wild and woolly
state of Montana.
Can't Read the World.
AS the representative of the Daily
World sat in the courtroom making
notes on the testimony, he was ap-
preached by Attorney Frank Reeves,
of the plaintiffs counsel, who desired
that reference to the suit at trial
be suppressed in the columns of this
newspaper, for fear that it might
prejudice the jury in the case. This
the reporter could not consent to,
as he is under instructions from the
owners of the World to get AL the
news all the time, and tell the people
the things which they wish to know.
So Mr.. Reeves asked for a recess,
during which the matter was taken
up with Judge Steiner, the question
being raised as to whether or not
the Daily World would be in con-
tempt of court should it go ahead
and publish the testimony in the case
before the conclusion of the trial.
Judge Steiner felt that the World
might publish the testimony uncom-
mented upon, but that the jury
should not be allowed to read the
World during the trial. Attorneys
for the defendant agreed to this. and
so during the remainder of the IA
nous case the twelve tried and true
meB who are weighing the evidence
and who will decide whether Dee
Fisher is entitled to 100000 of L.
". Eighme's money will be denied
the privilege of reading the Daily
World.
Mrs. Fisher on the Stand.
Today Mrs. Fisher, wife of the
plaintiff, was on the stand. She told
of her early life in North Dakota,
where she was teaching school at the
time of her marriage to Fisher. She
also testified tnat while Eighme was
living with t'.em he talked love to
her, held her hand. etc. That he adj
vised her to see a lawyer and get a
divorce, and that he also gave her
500 with which she went to Seattle.
Other. witnesses this morning tes-
titled that Eighme had been attentive
to Mrs Fisher.
A throng of curious persons is lis
tening to the testimony today, sew
eral women lettering in the corridors
or in the Office Of the sheriff.
The trial of the case will probably
occupy the rest of the week.
