l asked him what he was trying to
do, and he said that he wasn't try
ing to do anything"
The witness said Tom Mccoy gave
him the information that lead to the
arrest of Williams and Burns. At
torney McFadden stated his case
against Mccoy and informed the
court that he wanted to show that
Mccoy knew considerable about the
affair and was trying to shift the
blame.
Marshal Hudgens testified substan-
TALLY the same as Constable Gilbert.
He found the stolen goods in the tent
and behind the bar. The defendant,
however, made the following con-
fession:
That he had purchased eight bot
ties of whiskey the night before and
had paid $3.50 for the same.
Mccoy was next called to the
stand. He stated Burns had sold
whiskey to Williams on June 26th
and brought the goods into the bar
room in a sack. Williams, he testi-
fed. told Burns to come again. Ac-
cording to the witness Burns said he
had 500 worth of stuff. The next
day Williams told Mccoy he was
short of money and would buy half
the stolen property if he would put
I'D the remainder. Mccoy said he
knew Burns was stealing the goods,
but didn't know where he was get
ting them.
Attorney McFadden then took a
hand and subjected the witness to a
long and severe cross-eXamination,
at times standing directly in front of
him while he asked question after
question, pinning him down for the
answer. He succeeded in making
the witness acknowledge he wanted
| to obtain control of the Black Dia-
mond saloon.
why didn't you tell Williams the
goods were. stolen?" asked the attor-
ney.
Because he ought to know enough
about his own business" WAS the re-
ply.
"You talked with Mr.. Burns and
knew all about it," asked the at
torney.
The answer was in the negative.
you realize that you are SUP
posed to tell the truth while on the
stand?" was asked
The witness replied that he did
and was asked:
Didn't you go to Mr.. Finley and
try to borrow the money to purchase
the stolen goods WITH"
He denied that he had. He ac-
knowledged that he had worked in
conjunction with the officers.
You are pretty small man to do
what you have done, aren't YOU
was asked
The district attorney objected and
the objection was sustained.
do you know you look pretty sus-
picious in this whole case?" asked
Mr.. McFadden.
"Oh, don't know" replied the
witness, Mccoy.
do you know what it is to be
honorable?"
Yes, sir"
do you think you have done the
honorable thing in working with the
officers in your endeavor to put Will
| liams out of the saloon?
The witness denied he had any
such intentions and said he believed
he was an honorable man.
A couple more minor witnesses
were examined and then the case was
adjourned until this morning, when
it will be completed.

ONLY TWO VOTED
AGAINST THE
SCHOOL BONDS
Trustees viii Call for Bids for
Erection of New
Building.

The school election held yesterday
to decide the question of the school
bond issue carried almost unani-
mously only two votes being re-
corded in the negative to g. for the
bond issue for $35, 600 The vote
was very light as all the people ia
vored the issue, but evidently did not
think it necessary to say so at the
polls.
1t means much for Ely for now we
can have good school buildings with
corps of teachers in keeping with
the growth of the city.
The trustees will advertise the
bonds for sale right away and will
also have plans and specifications
drafted for the building and sub
nit them to the contractor Work

INVESTIGATING
DETAILSOFT THE
ROBBERY CASE
ANDREW BURNS MUST ANSWER
ON CHARGE OF STEALING
GOODS.
WILLIAMS CASE NOT FINISHED
Attorney McFadden Subjects Witness
Thomas Mccoy to Severe Cross
Examination.

Justice Cartwright had a busy day
yesterday hearing the preliminary
examinations of Andrew Burns, the
white man, and blue Steel viii
liams, the colored man, the former
accused of having stolen whiskey and
cigars from Clark s drug store, and
the latter of having purchased the
stolen property. The examination of
the first-named prisoner took place
during the forenoon with the result
that he was held to answer, his bail
being fixed at $4,000. The prelimi-
nary hearing of the colored man was
not finished and was continued until
today.
The examination of Williams was
begun at O'Clock yesterday after
noon. Attorney McFadden took the
position that the defendant was the
victim of a conspiracy on the part of
one Tom Mccoy, whom he accused of
having conniyed to have blue Steel"
purchase the stolen goods SO he could
obtain the entire ownership of the
saloon. The cross-examination of
this witness was severe and the at
tions rather uncomfortable, to say
the least, for the witness.
Mayor Clark was the first witness
called He stated that the only way
to enter the basement of his drug
store was through small opening
in the rear of the structure He had
been in the basement on June 26th
and on the 2Sth. The witness did
not know the goods were missing I'M
til the officers informed him of the
fact An investigation of conditions
in the basement demonstrated that
the stock had been thrown around
considerably and that much of it was
missing. He identified the goods in
the sheriff's Office and was quite GER
tain one brand of sigars was carried
by him only, in this section of the
country, as he had the agency for
the same. This was also true of one
brand of wine. The goods also bore
his name.
Constable Gilbert, who, with City
Marshal Hudgins, arrested the two
men, testified that he placed the de-
PENDANT under custody on June 2Sth.
He had been informed that Burns
had sold Williams some liquor on
June 26th and that he was coming
again with much larger supply.
The Two officers watched the duo and
saw the former as he arrived with
the goods. He made five trips, three
with a wheel-barrow and twice with
out. The goods were placed in the
tent in the rear of the saloon.
Il arrested Burns" he said, land
as Williams was tangled up with him
in the deal arrested him also. When
