TORS in the Pettibone case differed
to some extent from those given in
the Haywood trial.
Judge Wood held that on proof of
the existence of a conspiracy to kill
enemies of the Western Federation
of Miners; that the defendant was a
member of such conspiracy; that
Steuhenberg was regarded as an en-
emy of the Western Federation OF
Miners. and that his murder was the
result of the conspiracy, the defend
ant should be found guilty.
The jury was instructed that il
these facts were proven, 1t was not
necessary to show that the defend
ant was cognizant of the crime
charged in the Indictment at the time
ii was committed.
The jury was instructed that the
accomplice must be corroborated by
independent testimony tending to
connect the defendant with the crime
charged

to prove the guilt of the accused.

NEW CASTLE TO HAVE
A GREAT BIG BOOM

Glenwood Post: At a special
meeting of the New Castle Portland
Cement Company held in Glenwood

the contract for the sale of 100000
worth of stock. This contract was
made with the Western Financing
Company of Denver. and the officers
of that concern are confident that
they will be able to dispose of the
stock within Is days. A number of
the clients of the financing company
have been waiting for the chance to
business.
The first installment (s25.000) is
to be paid in 80 days. and then the
company will commence the con-
struction of a modern $15O.000 up
to-date cement mill of 500 barrels
daily capacity.
A spur will be built from New Cas-
tie to the plant, distance of mile
The new plant will employ about 50
men. and there will be no trouble
whatever indisposing of the product
The deposit to be worked is stated
by experts to be the best in the
United States. A quantitative test
has been made by French chemist
of Denver. whose speciality is the
analysis of cement, and the report
shows the product of the New Cas-
tie company to be far superior to
anything in Colorado.
A mill of 100 barrels daily capac-
ity is now running on the company's
property. and the product already
turned out cannot be excelled.
