HuIIs Are Expensive.

During a conference between the county
attorney and Attorney W. r. Hutchinson
for the defense, relative to the continu-
ance of the case, the county attorney SAID
that he would favor the completion of the
hearing at as early date as possible In
order that the state might not be under
the expense of keeping the Hulls in o.
den any longer than necessary. He also
not asked by the defense in order that ii
might be able to impeach the testimony
of the two star witnesses. For the pres
ent the Hulls are stopping at the Reed
hotel and eating at Kennedys care pre-
Sumably at the states expense.
An important witness in the case FOR
whom the state is now searching is a
farmer, said to be the only eye witness
to the tragedy other than Lawrence and
Walker. The farmer is said to have been
driving his team along the street at the
rear of the Ogden office of the Salt Lake
Electrical Supply company, and that he
looked through the basement window ana
saw three men struggling. He is said to
have told afterward that he saw these
men fighting in the rear room, but as yet
the state has been unable to locate him
The story of the Hulls, in measure,
eXonerated Lawrence from actual COM
pIicity in the homicide, but in case the
story alleged to have been told by the
farmer is introduced in evidence 1t would
tend to show that all three of the men
were engaged in the encounter.
Mrs. Beers in Salt Lake.
Mrs Earl S. Beers. the widow of the
doctor, arrived in Salt Lake last evening
and is stopping with friends here. She
is SIN nervous as the result of the ordeal
which she underwent while on the wit
ness stand Thursday. The indications are
that she will be recalled TO the stand
on Tuesday should her health permit, and
questioned further by the defense relative
to conversations, which she had with Wal
ker concerning the intrigue of Mrs. Walker
and DR. Beers. The defense hopes through
the evidence of Mrs. Beers to bring the
knowledge of these relations between the
two home to Walker in order that it may
introduce corroborative evidence OF the
actual occurrences.
1t is probable that the taking of testi-
monv in the case will be concluded on
Tuesday, after which the defense will
ask for a dismissal of both prisoners. In
case this is denied, as is expected. for
NAL application for bail will be made by
the defense There is but little doubt
that Lawrence will be admitted to bail on
account of the character of the evidence,
which tends TO show that his completely

fight will be made TO prevent Walker S
admission to bail. The purpose of the de
Tense in introducing the present testi-
mony is to show that there was some JUS
tification for the crime sufficient to per-
NIT of his admission to bail. The defense
is prepared to furnish bail in any amount
fixed by the court.

FEAR HULLS MAY
DISAPPEAR AGAIN
Prosecution in Walker Case
May Ask to Have Them
Put Under Bonds.
TESTIMONY IN QUESTION
DEFENSE MAY SEEK TO I'M.
PEACH BOTH WITNESSES.

At the time of the resumption of the
preliminary hearing in the Beers murder
case on Tuesday morning it is probable
that County Attorney Harris of Weber
county will ask that Mrs. Gertrude Hull
and her daughter, Bertha Hull, the star
witnesses for the prosecution in the case,
be placed under bonds to be present at
the trial to testify in behalf of the state.
This action may be taken as the result
of the statement accredited to Mrs. Hull
that she would not be present when the
trial of Walker and Lawrence took place.
and that she would not be where she
could be found.
When Mrs. Hull and her daughter were
wanted to testify at the COrOnerS inquest
she and her daughter disappeared. They
registered under assumed names at diff
ferent hotels in Salt Lake and Ogden
and eluded the police so that they were
not called at the inquest Later, however,

May Impeach Witnesses.

The states case against Walker rests
largely on the testimony of these two
witnesses since they professed to tell all
the details of the struggle which resulted
in the death of DIR. Earl s. Beers, as
they heard the sounds of the conflict in
their apartments above the rooms in which
DR.. Beers met his death. A rumor to the
effect that the defense was in a position
to impeach this testimony is said to have
been the cause of the HullS' talk of leav-
ing Utah
When Mrs. Hull was on the stand she
testified that she had seen the injured
man being carried up the stairs in the
rear room by Lawrence and Herdti. The
defense expects to prove that 1t would
have been impossible for either Mrs. Hull
or her daughter to have seen them from
the place in which they said they OBJ
served them coming up the stairs. Under
cross-examination Attorney Hutchinson
laid considerable stress on the question
and made both witnesses assert that they
were positive that they had seen Beers
being carried"up the steps. They also
swore that from the top of the stairs they
saw the reflection of Walker in the glass
as he was combing his hair. This the de-
tense hopes to controvert by diagram OF
the place showing that there was no way
in which they could have seen the glass
before which Walker stood from the top
of the stairs.
