Evidence Up to Noon

Court opened promptly at this
morning. The first witness called by
the prosecution was George Goodman.
the undertaken. He testified that he
and DIR. Lefurgey went TO the mine at
hesperus, having been informed that
a man had been killed. He knew Of
by the government. The nature of the
cases pending against a number OF
citizens OF this section was conspir-
acy to defraud.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Reese,
witness stated that R. L. Gervais,
Frank Sommer, Frank Hall and man
named Brewster. and Mr.. Lehman, an
inspector of the land ofiice. had come
with him to Durango Nov. S. The partl
went out to Hesperus on a specia
train. The government men who vert
already here also went out on thu
train. Sheriff Clarke was one OF tn
party. They reached the shaft abou
noon. Had taken Frank Conner, tn
photographer. Had Chapson take som
measurements.

attributed to either of the men. tn,
property was owned by the Porter fue
company, who had patents to the land
and the government men thereon wert
trespassers. There was no occasion
for the secret service men to steal onto
the property, for no government agen,
was ever refused admission to the
mine, the ground in question was or
or very close to the dividing line be
tween the agricultural area and the
coal land area, and as evidence of this
1t was mentioned that some years ago
a man named Brown took up coal land
and his claim was contested by a set
tier who tiled on agricultural land, the
/ settler winning the contest for the rea-
son that Brown could not prove the ex-
istence of coal on the land. Mr. Russell
stated that Mr. Mason was for num-
ber of years game warden and Il WAS
his custom TO carry a gun when he
went out; coyotes being numerous
and sometimes other game being seen
But this time. however he had no gun
when he went out The defense would
offer evidence to show that Mason had
borrowed the gun in the saloon the
night before the shooting because he
had quite sum Of money and only
wanted the gun to take home with
him. He had gun but il was at home.
On the Sunday morning of the shoot
ing Mason claimed. he heard some
noise up on the hill and asked Wand
erweide to go with him and they would
see what II was. Vanderweide took
his double barreied shotgun, loaded
with birdshot and buckshot. He had
bought the gun year and half be-
fore. They went along the road and
trail and in roundabout way until
they came in sight of the shaft They
saw team and vehicle at the bottom
of a draw. They went up the draw
and over to the shaft. Masosn had seen
had called to vanderweide, but by the
time the latter had loaded his gun the
animal had disappeared. They CON
tinued till they came near the shaft,
when they saw man who proved to
be Walker They did not know at the
time who he was or that he was gov
ernment agent. They approached the
shaft to see what he was doing there.
as that was an air shaft and any tam
pering with 1t might result disastrous
ly for mine and miners. When within
few yards Walker called to them to
halt, but they did not pay any atten-
tion TO the commit nd. not thinking
he was going to shoot Walker called
a second time to halt and then he fired
once with his revolver. The shot went
wild and he was in the act Of firing
again when Vanderweide, in order to
save Mason's life. fired at Walker and
killed him. Mason and Vanderweide
then went to Hesperus and told what
had transpired and telephoned to Du-
range for the sheriff. to whom they
later gave themselves up.
The defense will deny that Walkers
body was moved by Mason and Van
derweide, but will claim that when the
officers arrived they found that the
body had been moved and coat was
laying over it.
