HAS
new WITNESSES
Week Will Be Spent Offer
ing Rebuttal to Defense
Testimony

BOISE, July 15.-Yesterday L. D.
Gubbiny. the San Francisco grocer, who
had a store directly across from the
Fred Bradley residence in 1904 at the
time Of the explosion at Bradley's
home, the Linforth flats, returned to
Boise, says the Statesman, to again 60
on the stand for the state in rebuttal
of much contained in the San Fran
cisco dispositions regarding the explo-
sion. He says he returned willingly.
He Is accompanied by his wife and 81
year-old son, whom he introduces as
Little Guibby.' Mrs. Guibbiny may
also go on the stand to support her
husbands testimony. One of the fea-
lures of the rebuttal will be to con-
trovert the testimony of one witness
who deposed that he had been served
an early morning drink by Guibbiny
personally at his store on the morning
of the explosion and a few minutes
before the explosion. 1t is understood
Guibbny will swear that he was in
bed at the time of the explosion-that
the explosion wakened him that morn
ing. He may also dispute the testi-
mony of the woman who was Brad
leys cook at that time who said Or
chard testified falsely when he said he
once took her to the theater.
Several other state witnesses to GO
in rebuttal arrived yesterday. Among
Holman of Victor. They are both
mine owners and their names have
often been mentioned in the trial as
members of the military examining
in the Cripple Creek district. Mr.
/ Franklyn, during the strike period
was mayor of Victor. Mr.. Holman
was here during the first part of th'
trial as state witness, but was no
called in direct examination.
| Two other witnesses are A. C. Cogs.
well of Burke and j. p. Keane of Wal.
| lace. The latter is a prominent mining
superintendent and the former is man.
ager of the Tiger and Poorman mine
store at Burke. 1t is understood theil
! testimony will be to support important
points in part of Orchards story and
to controvert testimony introduced by
the defense regarding Orchards move
ments in north Idaho in the early days
and upon his visit to the Coeul
dAlenes in 1905, just previous to his
trip to Caldwell to assassinate Frank

Tommy Atkins Clothes

A change is to be made in the sys-
tenn of clothing in the army, but the
soldier will not benefit pecuniariiy
thereby. The idea is to substitute
simple and easily comprehensive
method for the present system, and
under the new management men will
know the precise amount to which
they will be entitled.
1t will result in men being more
careful of their clothing by the fact
that the balance of their quarters al
lowance will be credited forthwith to
their pay account instead of being
held over to their next enlistment
anniversary. Under the system that
now obtains a complete outfit is given
on enlistment, with annual issues
afterward, compensation to soldiers
for garments suitable for three
months future wear and twopence a
day for upkeep.
In future the complete outfit will
be given on enlistment and quarter
ly clothing allowance granted after
the first years service to purchase
clothing, the twopence a day for up
keep being added to the allowance
and paid quarterly in advance. Four
special clothing days are to be ap-
pointed, and the company commander
will be responsible for his men pro-
viding themselves with clothing out
of their allowance.

GUILTY OF EMBEzzLEMENT
NOT GRAND LARCENY
Nebraska Judge Wants Sentence Set
Aside in Very Unusual
Case.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. because,
in his opinion he was guilty of en-
beZZlement and not grand larceny,
Judge p. Cohoe of Nemana county
asks the supreme court to hold that
his sentence of one year on a. con-
viction for the latter offense be set
aside. The case is an unusual one.
Joseph Ullbrick, a farmer near Au-
burn, sold a lot of land, receiving
some $4,000 or $4,000 in cash. A
few weeks later he was adjudged in
sane, but none of his family could
find any trace of the money. r. G.
Boyd was appointed his guardian, and
the latter rented the Ullbrick house
to Cohoe. He told Cohoe that he be-
lieved Ullbrick had hidden a lot of
money about the place, and that If he
ever discovered any of it, to let him
know and he would reward him
for it.
One day, while idling a few mo-
ments in a fence corner, Cohoe kick
ed up $50 in silver hidden in a small
vessel. He took the money to Boyd,
and the latter gave him a month S
house rent as a reward. A little
later, in an old corner of the barn.
Cohoe found 1900 in currency. He
told Boyd he had found $500, but
later, his conscience shifting him, he
turned over the other $1,000, and re-
ceived reward of $780,
About two years ago he discovered
in a pickle jar buried in the wood
shed fifty $40 gold pieces. He put
| it in his pocket, bought a bottle of
whisky and went to Kansas City. In
a poker game there, as afterwards
proved, he did his betting with $40
gold pieces. He lost $500, and, panic
stricken, went to the home of his son
in Omaha. The latter sent him back
with the advice to make clean
breast of it to Boyd. Boyd prose-
cuted Cohoe, and the latter, while adj
hitting all the facts, puts in the
claim that as the guardian had told
him to take possession of all money
he found he couldn't be guilty OF
stealing.
