FRANK CLAYES
CONVICTED OF
GRAND LARCENY
JURY is OUT THREE HOURS
BEFORE REACHING
A VERDICT.
WILL BE SENTENCED FRIDAY
Defendant Declared He was Drunk
Mt Time of Trouble and
Stole Only $15.

For three hours yesterday after
noon the jury in the case of Frank
Clayes, charged with grand larceny
was out. At 5:15 the foreman an
nounced that the jury had reached
decision. The verdict was guilty
as charged, and Judge Brown set
next Friday as the time for the pass
ing of sentence.
The trial was commenced this
morning, and in a short time the fol-
lowing-named jurors were obtained
to hear the case: Charles S. Miller,
p, A. Donahue, o. Hudson, H. S. Ar
noldson, A. w. Wakeling, James H.
Jensen, J. F. 1Slattery, Ben F. Harri-
son, w. G. Bradley and r. M. Ham
ilton. District Attorney Eddy repre-
sented the people and c. J. McFad.
den, Anthony Zurich and J. G.
Maughn presented the defendant s
case.
J. A. Nash was the first witness
for the people. He testified that the
defendant stole $50 from Weber's
saloon and that he (Clayes) took
some of the money from his pocket,
placing it on the table. John M.
Hugh corroborated the testimony of
the former witness.
At this stage adjournment was ta-
ken for the noon recess, and when
the afternoon session began the at
ed for the noon recess, and when
the afternoon session begun the at
torneys for the defense moved that
Clayes be dismissed on the grounds
that no intent of larceny had been
proven, no evidence had been pro-
duced to show who was the legal
owner of the money, and no descrip-
tion of the property taken had been
made. The court overruled the mo-
tions. He held that there was plenty
of evidence of intent to warrant the
case going to the jury, and that the
argument concerning the description
of property should have been taken
up by special demurrer.
The defendant then took the stand
and told his story. He said that
when he pleaded guilty he did not
know what crime he was answering G
to and that he did not intend to
plead guilty to grand larceny.
Il was taken from Jail one hour
after they arrested me-" said
Clayes, "and paper was read to me.
The judge asked me what my plea
was and | said guilty. +"
What amount did you take?"
asked his attorney.
81 took $15," he replied.
The defendant testified he had
been drinking for several days and
did not know what he was doing
He had never met the complaining
witness before this troble occurred.
Upon cross-examination he said
he was born in Bingham canyon,
Utah. District Attorney Eddy com
menced to question him concerning
his life in that state and the court
ruled that if the questioning was to
bring out any particular acts 1t was
not proper. 1t was evidently for that
purpose as Mr.. Eddy then passed the
witness.
+ Deputy Sheriff Hudgens took the
stand and stated that the defendant
had been drinking prior to the time
of the arrest, but that he was not in
toxicated. Justice Cartwright also
said that Clayes was not drunk when
he pleaded guilty.
This ended the case as far as evil
dence was concerned and after short
arguments on each side the court
read the instructions to the jury.

I. b. Perrine and Major Fred r.
Reed of Twin Falls, Idaho, were in
town yesterday on mission that is
of the greatest Importance to Ely
and White Pine county.
As the result of their inyestiga-
tions In this section of the country,
the great Twin Falls power line will
most probably be extended here.
Both gentlemen came to Ely to see
for themselves. They had heard all
kinds of glowing reports concerning
the town, and are greatly pleased
with what they have seen.
A surveying party Is now at work
at Wells mapping out line for the
proposed electric system to this city.
The power plant at Twin Falls is
one of the greatest In the country
and will soon be completed.
That White Pine county interests
and Idaho interests will be brought
closer together, and as result this
county will be the center of great
activity, is assured.
The two gentlemen were seen at
their apartments at the Northern ho-
tel last night by News represent
ative. They were about worn out
after the hard trip they had had dur
ing the day. They took in the smelt-
er and several of the mines and will
leave this morning. Both are very
busy people, and have travelled over
country during the past
week or SO. That they were pleased
with what they had seen and learned
here was apparent by the statement
of Major Reed.
Il can say a few words for your
camp" he remarked during the
about Ely and yicin-
ity. 81 am certainly astonished at
the magnitude of the mining prop
critics and the great amount of
money expended here. The town is
certainly a fine one, and is all that

BoXerism Being Revived - Many
People Killed i'm Collapsed
Buildings.

VICTORIA, June 10.-The Bellar-
ophon brought news of revival
of boxerism in North China. Yuen
Shihkai's officials have arrested nu-
merous Chinese recently for preach
ing and practicing boxerism and in
ducing natives to smear their doors
with blood, on the assumption that
this renders the occupants invulner-
able when fighting.
Heavy loss of life is reported from
KELVIN, Kwangsi, South China, as a
result of the sudden subsistence of
part of the large walled city. A
large area of shops and dwellings

FIFTH DAY ON

DEFENSE'S QUESTIONS SUGGEST
CONSPIRACY BY ENEMIES

May Not Talk.

BOISE, Idaho, June 10.-Into the
further cross-eXamination of Harry
Orchard, counsel for w. d. Haywood
repeatedly threw the suggestion of a
counter conspiracy, formulated and
carried out by the enemies of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
indicated a determination to con-
struct their main line of defense
on that field They carried Orchard
by slow steps and through the mi
nutest details from the dynamiting
of the independence mine down to
the attempt on the life of Fred Brad
ley and his family, and in addition
to a series of particular attacks on
the credibility of the witness and the
general probability of his stories
and preparing the way for their
own theory, and that he is testifying
under the control and suggestion of
Detective MCFARLAND.
They began today by making it
clear that as far as Orchard knew. of
his own knowledge Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone had nothing to do
with the inspiration, planning and
executing of the Vindicator eXplo-
sion, and that Haywood and Meyer
had nothing to do with the planning
of the murder of Detective Gregory.
Passing then to the dynamiting of
the independence station, the first
crime with which the testimony of
Orchard directly connects with Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone, they en-
deavored to show that Orchard, in
springing the mine, had purposely
sought to spare the on-coming train
and the non-union men who were eX-
pected to entrain, and that the whole
plot was engineered by agents of the
mine owners and railway managers,
who wanted a comparatively "harm-
less outrage" to injure the union
miners who were on strike.
Leaving the Independence station
crime, which was followed by the
flight of Orchard into Wyoming and
then by his unexpected return to
Denver, counsel for the defense,
sought to discredit the story that
Haywood directed Orchard to kill
Mayberry by showing that Haywood
and Mayberry are old and intimate
friends.
Getting down to the Bradley crime
they devoted themselves largely to
the revolving story of Orchards at
tempt to poison the entire Bradley
household, including the infant
child, which he had seen in a baby
carriage, and Mrs. Grow, the cook,
with whom he had made friends, and
whom he had escorted to theater.

This latest Confucius has created a

Peace Delegates.

Seoul via Toxic. July 1S.-Aflernoon.
The audience of Marquis Ito with
the Emperor of Corea, which was ex-
pccted to have taken place this after
noon, has been postponed.
1t is likely that the Marquis will pro-
coed to his place tomorrow in company
with ViscOunt Hayashi, the Japanese
foreign minister, who is expected to
arrive here this evening.
PAX Yong Ho, who was recently par
doned and upon his return from Jap
an, was appointed minister of the i'm
perial household, has reported that the
Emperor of COrca emphatically pro-
tested his ignorance regarding the dis
patch of the deputation to The Hague
and says that his abdication would on
,ly tend to confirm his relation thereto.
For this reason he will not abdicate.
The Emperor he says, will prove OBJ
durate in resisting his dethronemcnt.
The Emperors loss of loyal adhcr-
encc of a large portion of his subjects
WILL it is believed, result in the grad
ual development of his policy to al
ways play one minister or faction
against another so as to prevent the
concentration of power in any single
body. The result Of this is that no one
will faithfully support him at the risk
of life.

when 4bIiZzards snow and drouth have

and disease, and kept a sharp lookout
against TIE fox in lambing time. Such
has been comparatively easy work.
For clipping purposes, however, it is
necessary to gather all the sheep to-

their forces. Each farmer has an APP

servants, lend him their help; and in
return he and his men go and work
just as heartily for the benefit Of his
respective neighbOrS. =
Thus, early on a ''sheep wash" morn
