BODDIE CASES ARE
 FINALLY SETTLED
OVER TITLE TO PROP. ERTY ON WHICH WOODWARD BUILDING STANDS ENDED BY SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The supreme courts of Alabama handed down decision yesterday affirming the decrees of the chancery court of Jefter- son county in all the cases instituted by John Boddie vs. Capt. w. C. Ward and others arising out of the sale of the prop erty of the Boddie estate.
 Last July something of a sensation was sprung in legal and business circles when John B. Boddie, son of John B. Boddle, filed suit in the chancery court in Bir- mingham against ". c. Ward adminis- trator of the estate of John B. Boddio, deceased, and William H. woodward, owner of the Woodward building.
 The complainant alleged in his bill of complaint that the administrator sold certain property by private sale without an order of the court under and by vir- tue of an act of the legislature, which was unconstitutional, and further that the complainant had his disabilities of homage removed at the solicitation of the administrator and that shortly thereafter the complainant made and executed a deed conveying all bis right, title and interest in his fathers estate to the ad- ministrator. The complainant further al- legged that he was not advised of his rights at the time he executed the deed and was still boy 1s years of age. Com plainant prayed that the court make and render a final decree setting aside and annulling the deed made by w. C. Ward as administrator, to William H. Wood ward and others conveying the lots on which the Woodward building stands, and also annulling the deed made by the complainant to W. c. Ward, and fur ther praying that said decree divest three-fourth interest out of said William H. Woodward and vest same in com plainant.
 The complainant filed several other suits against the administrator to the same effect seeking to recover other prop erty formerly belonging to the Boddle estate.
 All the cases were dismissed In the chancery court for want of equity and appeals were taken to the supreme court on these decrees. The decision handed down yesterday vindicates the action of the administrator and settles the matter for all time.

Testimony Not Thrown Out.

The defense moved to have all of this testimony thrown out as immaterial and incompetent. Senator Borah said he would connect the conversation with Orchard, who was a member of the same alleged conspiracy as Haywood, Mover and Pettl- bone.
 Judge Wood declined to grant the mo- ton.
 Haywood s attorneys then said they did not desire to cross-examine the young man. Steunenberg gave way to J. Bowman, laborer of Caldwell, who testi- fled as to seeing Orchard in company with a man giving his name as Simmons. He identified a picture of Jack Smpkins as the Simmons man. The photograph be- came states evidence exhibit A
 On cross examination Bowman said that neither Orchard nor Simpkins had made any attempt to conceal themselves and there was nothing mysterious about their movements.
 Steve Dempsey, proprietor of the hotel at Caldwell, where Hogan and Simmons first. stopped, identified their names on the hotel register, which was introduced as evidence. AS the two men, the witness said, occupied the same room. Dempsey said Hogan told him he was sheep buy CT and wanted to know where he could get some good stock. Dempsey intro duced him to a number of stock raisers
 Cross examined by the attorneys for the defense, Dempsey said Hogan and Sim mons had never tried to conceal them selves, but went around town like other traveling men. Dempsey saw Hogan aft CT he was arrested and identified him as Orchard. It was the same man. he said
 Several witnesses expected by the state were delayed in raching Boise today and this caused an early adjournment. Court convenes tomorrow at 9 o'clock.

Describes Killing.

"The killing of Steunenberg." contin- ued Hawley was not the primary object of the main conspiracy, but was merely incidental to it.
 The speaker then passed to the killing of Steunenberg. He graphically described the scene at Caldwell when Steuenberg returning to his home, was killed by a bomb, he told of the hue and cry raised by the explosion and the suspicion di- rected to Orchard.
 It was evident at once" he said. that something more than private vengenance

cross-examined by Attorney Richardson of the defense Rice said Orchard had made attempts to conceal himself. Ills attention was first directed to the man by his wife, who had noticed him for several days. M. N. s. Ellis a merchant of Caldwell, was the next witness. He said he was building a house near Cover nor Steunenberg's residence, and saw Tom Hogan or Harry Orchard in the vicinity on many occasions On cross examination witness said thr' while he wondered what Orchard was do- ing, hic curiosity had not been excited to the extent of making inquiry. A, Ballentine of Caldwell was called to the stand just as court took the luncheon recess until ? pm.
 Balentne at the afternoon session merely testified to seeing Thomas Hogan or Harry Orchard in and about Caldwell prior to the tragedy. He was not cross examined

Young Steunenberg.

Senator Borah next directed the calling of Julian P. Steunenberg, the 21-year-old son of the dead governor. As the stall wart, broad-shouldered young man with blonde hair walked to the elevated wit ness chair which is almost in the centre of the big room, all eyes were turned on him. He made firm replies to all the questions put to him and looked from time to time at the defendant, who re- turned the gaze intently. There was no hint of feeling, however, in the look of either, Steunenberg told of seeing Orchard in Caldwell some days prior to his fa- tner's assassination.
 An objection was made by the defense when young Steunenberg testified to a conversation he had with Orchard. It was overruled by Judge Wood
 "I was at the Oregon Short Line depot one day when the man came to me and asked if my name was Steunenberg. l said yes and he then asked when my father would be back in the city. He said his name was Hogan and that he and my father had some business in regard to sheep. He said they would have another transaction in the future. l told him father would be home Friday and he then wanted to know where he could find him on his return. I told him where our residence was and where my fathers of- flee was."

As he sat down, Attorney Darrow arosN and stated that the defense would re- serve its opening until the states case is finished
