and that such crimes and ii the crimes
resulting in the death Of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg as well, were all incidents
of such conspiracy; but you must not
forget that the defendant is being tried
for the murder OF Steunenberg and for
that crime alone. But you are privi-
legged to take such other matters into
consideration as part of the evidence
in the case and as incidents and cir
cmmstances bearing upon the question
of his guilt upon the charge Of the
murder Of Frank Steunenberg.
1T makes no difference, however, in
this case what crimes have been COM
mittd in Colorado, in the Coeur d'Alenes
and elsewhere, or who is responsible for
the commission OF such crimes, if any
there be. The defendant can not be
convicted unless the state has estab'
Iished beyond reasonable doubt that
he has been guilty OF the felonious kill
ing of Frank Steunenberg.
"A conspiracy, within the meaning OF
the criminal law, consists Of combina-
ton between two or more persons fol
the purpose the accomplishment Of a
criminal or unlawful object, or a law
full object in an unlawful manner. Al
applied to this case and under this IN
dictment, proof Of conspiracy is only
proper insofar as it may tend to show
a common design to encourage the par
ticular murder charged against the de
fendant, and it can only be introduced
for the purpose of establishing the posi-
ton of the members of the combine a
accessories to the crime of murder
"It is not essential to the formation
of a conspiracy that there should be
formal agreement between the partle
to do the act charged. 1t is sufficien
if the minds Of the parties meet under
standingly, so as to bring about a
intelligent and deliberate agreement t

the jury charged them that it was not
necessary that there should be direct
evidence of expressed argument Of al

bribe even il the bribing is proved be-

cution failed to prove the connection Of
the defendant with that crime then the
verdict should be not guilty.

Train Service Resumed.

Ihe first train service over the Colo
rado q Southern railway since the dis
astrous cloudburst came down Clear
Creek canon week ago last Tuesday
was yesterday, when the morning pas
senger Denver bound, left on schedule
time. The train runs as far as Bates.
three-quarters of a mile this side of
Forks Creek. Here it is necessary for
passengers to get off and walk around a
long washin, about 700 feet in length.
Dirt and sand at this points piled upon
the track eighteen feet deep in places.
Station Agent McGinnis was officially
notified yesterday that the track at the
fillin would be cleared so that through
service on the road would be resumed
Sunday morning. No mail, freight or
express is being hauled over the line
now on account of everything having
to be transferred. Freight will com
mence to arrive Sunday afternoon or
Monday morning.
The work of reconstructing the road
bed through the canon progressed more
rapidly than was anticipated when the
extent of the damage became known.
Several hundred men were at once put
to work last week as soon as the grad
ing outfits could be placed on the
ground. By the use of strong arc
lights work was continued during the
night, which reduced the time it would
otherwise have required just one-half.
While no trains We're operated over
the Colorado & Southern for more than a
week, the city and vicinity did not suf-
fer in the least as provisions were easily
obtainable. Passengers We're taken by
stage to Rollinsville and from there
went to Denver over the Moffat line.
Freight was also shipped into the
county via the Moffat road, and through
the efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce the mail was brought in by way
Rollinsville. No mail arrived in the
city from the time the washout occur
red until Friday evening and that was
merely taste. The mail which had
accumulated for several days was
brought in from Rollinsville Saturday
afternoon and for few hours the post
Office force was swamped. Since then
mail has arrived daily.

Teller House Without a MANAGER.

Chas. Swanson, who had managed the
Teller House year or more and who
departed for Denver last Monday for
the purpose as he stated of procuring
help, failed to return and Wednesday
the hotel was taken in charge by E. w.
Davis, representing Senator Teller, the
owner of the property. The dining
room was closed and what goods were
in the bar room were levied on by Sher-
if Cody at the instance of the creditors
of Swanson. The bar room was closed
and the goods will be sold at sheriff's
sale Saturday.
The large hotel as result of the
closing of the bar and dining room
presents somewhat of a desolate ap-
pearance and Simon Roberts, who is
looking after the rooms patrols the cor
ridors and stairways with the same
tread and quiet mien of
HE who walks alone,
Some banquet hall deserted
Several parties are willing to take
hold of the hotel, provided the same is
placed in a condition that it will at
least be habitable and there is some
chance of making a success of the busi-
ness. 1t seems hard to get an exper-
fenced hotel man to take charge, the
shape it is now in. However, nothing
will be done in this respect until after
the sheriff has sold what liquid stuffs he
levied on.
Mrs. Swanson left Friday for Lamar.
Where Mr.. Swanson has gone to no
one seems to know as he left very un-
tremendously, but it is said with his
pockets well lined. Many regret that
he was unable to make success of the
hotel as he worked hard and did the
best he could considering the manner
in which he was handicapped.

Butchers won by score of 20 to IA.

by score of six to four, and on the lat
ter's grounds also. This was the return
game for the one played on the local
grounds several weeks ago and in which
the Georgetown team defeated the Rus
sell boys. 1t seems that the above
teams cannot play on their own grounds
but defeat their opponents on the lat
ter's ground. The third game will be
played soon to decide the supremacy of
these two teams.

COURT CHARGES JURY.
Strong Instructions Given I'm Waters
Pierce Case.


Austin, Tex, May 31.--Judge NJ. L..
Brooks, in the Twenty-sixth District
Court. charged the jury late today on
the law to guide them in arriving at a
verdict in the antitrust custer and
penalty suit against the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company.
The State endeavored to have the
court charge the jury peremptory to
bring in q verdict for the state and
also that the contracts with A.fW. Glenn
and Roy Campbell constituted viola
lions of the antitrust law, asking him
to submit a supplemental charge, but
the court declined to do so.
The court charged that the jury
might bring In verdict of guilty un-
der either the. act of 1899 or the act OF
1903, or both of the acts, instructing
that the verdict must specify the date
or days for which the defendant was
convicted, II convicted of having Vio-
lated the law, stating that the penalty
under the former act was not less than
5000 or more than $4,000 for each day
the law was violated and under the lat
ter act $50 per day. He told the jury
that II might bring in verdict against
the defendant for a maximum OF 1888
DAYS from May 81, 1900, to March 81
1903. under the act OF 1899 and for each
dav between April I. 1908, and April
90 1907, under the act OF 1903 or Tor
such number of days IL any, that 1t
should find the defendant guilty of Vio-
lating the law.

BROTHERS TO TESTIFY.
George and Frank Gould to Appear In
Court.


New York, May 31.--wheh Howard
Gould Is hauled into court by the suit
for separation brought by his wife,
formerly Miss Katherine Clemmons, it
is likely that his brothers, George and
Frank. will be called to testify in his
behalf.
II was announced yesterday by an
intimate friend of Mr. Gould that al
though 1t would be extremely distaste-
full for members of the family to APP
pear In court. the two brothers had
expressed their willingness to do so.
From present indications 1t seems as
sured kat- the whole history of the
domestic troubles of Howard Gould and
his wife will come out when the case
Is finally taken into court.
Mr.. Gould himself says that there
will be no change in the present plan
of the procedure; that he will face the
charges of his wife in court and will
retaIiate by plain speaking in regard
to her conduct during the years they
lived together. Mrs. Gould is equally
emphatic In asserting that she will
conceal nothing and that she will ac-
cept no settlement before the case
comes to trial.
Howard Gould's reply to his wife's
suit will not be made public, at least
until June 6, which is the limit allowed
by the law.
Mr. Gould's reply, which is now
ready to be fled is a voluminous docu-
ment, almost as large as the budget
containing the bill of complaint served
on him through counsel a fortnight
ago.
