case is argued in the supreme court the
district attorney will not protest against
the granting of a new trial. Then Don
aldson can be taken again before Judge
Armstrong and his case dismissed.
1t is intimated that this will be done
because Donaldson testified for the state
in the Sheets case and has in other ways
rendered assistance to the district and
county attorneys since his conviction. 1t
is suggested that it would be hardly
consistent for the district attorney to in
sist that Donaldson serve his sentence
after he has allowed Bell and Parent
the confessed and notorious crooks. to go
their way rejoicing.

The fate of DR." Jim Donaldson, the
original and only fall guy in connec-
ton with the McWhirter robbery, rests
now in the hands of District Attorney
LoofbourOw and the general supposition
is that he will not be compelled to serve
the ten year sentence imposed on him by
Judge Armstrong
Donaldson is the only man who was
convicted of robbing the McWhirters.
His case is peculiar, as Bell and Parent
who confessed to doing the job, are now
at liberty and Donaldson who has Always
protested his innocence, is under a ten
year sentence.
Donaldson has applied to the supreme
court for a new trial and the case Will
probably not be heard for several months
yet In the meantime he is out on $O.0JU
bail and is a familiar figure on the
streets.

JUROR 0LDHAM'S AFFIDAVIT
DEFENSE CONTENDS TRIAL WAS
NOT CONDUCTED PROPERLY.
JUROR OLDHAM'S AFFIDAVIT

Joe Sullivan, convicted of the murder of
Patrolman Charles S. Ford, yesterday,
through his attorneys. Bailey * Wick
cry. asked the district court for a new
trial.
The motion was flied with Judge George
G. Armstrong and will be heard April
when Sullivan comes before him for
sentence.
Accompanying the application are two
affidavts from Juror Samuel Oldham and
one from Juror William BOgess, who were
among the twelve men who convicted Sui
Ivan
Oldham says in his affidavit that Sat
urday evening, March 4, when the jury
had retired to consider its verdict, that
Bogess stepped out of the room and held
a conversation with Claude Russell and
Fred Butler, the deputy sheriffs in
charge of the jury. He also asserts that
on that same evening, while the jury was
going from the Kenyon hotel to its room
at the city and county building, the bal
lifts met Deputy Sheriff Joseph c. Sharp
on the street and talked tic him for sew
eral moments while the jury waited.
Several Causes Alleged.
William Bogess' affidavit admits that
he talked to the deputy sheriffs outside
of the jury room. but he denies that they
said anything concerning the case to him
or he to them.
II is not stated by the attorneys why
these affidavits should entitle Sullivan to
a new trial. but they are simply filed
with the application.
The following grounds for the granting
of new trial are included in the mo-
ton:
First-Accident and surprise which or
binary prudence could not have guarded
against.
Second-Newly discovered evidence ma
terial to the defense which could not
have been presented at the trial.
Third-The insufficiency of the evidence
to justify a verdict of guilty.
FOurth-ErrOrs in law as interpreted by
Judge Armstrong and excepted to by the
attorneys for Sullivan
Fifth-The separation of the various
members of the jury while the case was
being considered by them and before
verdict had been agreed upon.
The jury which convicted Sullivan rec
commended that he be given a life SER
tence in the penitentiary. 1t is known
that District Attorney Loofbourow will
make no attempt to have the death pen
atty inflicted.
That the motion for new trial will be
overrulcd seems certain, unless the at
torneys for Sullivan can produce some
showing as to their claim of newly dis
covered evidence. If they cannot do that
the case will undoubtedly be taken to the
supreme court for final adjudication.

Every voter on the west side
Of the prairie can afford to vote
for Fred Mckinney for county
assessor this year. Fred is a
young man who has grown up a.
mong us and he is well acquaint-
ed with all conditions in our
county. He has worked on the
farms, in the sawmills and in the
Offices and stores and consequent
ly is well posted as to the value
of all things that will have to be
assessed by him. He is thor
oughly competent to handle the
Office of assessor in good shape
and if elected will see that every
property owner pays taxes on all
taxable property he may have.
Nothing will be passed up or
overlooked. Furthermore, if it
is in our power to confer favors,
why not recognize merit at home
instead of favoring recent arriv-
ais from other states. Vote for
Fred and "patronize home in
dustry".

AS has been said before, there
is no reason why every Idaho
county voter cannot support Hon.
J. F. Ailshie this fall for supreme
judge. This Office is blank on
every ticket except the republic
an and socialist, consequently
any straight party man can vote
his ticket and yet cross over and
place an x IN the circle opposite
Mr.. Ailshie's name on the repub-
lican ticket, thereby helping a
good man into Office and doing
no harm to his party vote. Mr..
Ailshie has served his state we'll
on the supreme bench and is de-
serving of a large complimentary
vote from Idaho county this fall.
All the rest are going to vote
for him so fall in line. Don't
be lonesome.

Judging from what appeared
in the Free Press last week, the

must think it reasonable for
anyone to say, or even think, diff

general correctness of the CHRoN-

the decision to the judge who
heard the case, to the court stem

dozen fair minded citizens who
listened to the evidence.

A Dangerous Amendment.

A constitutional amendment,
known and to be designated on
the ballot as amendment No. 2, is
to be voted on at this election,
and it is of great Importance that
the people should fully under
stand it. The Standard News is
opposed to it and believes that
it's adoption would be disastrous
and entail enormous expense to
the counties and endless confu-
sion and litigation. This amend
ment proposes to abolish the pro-
bate courts and have a district
judge in each county. 1t also
provides for holding another cleo
ton in December of this year-a
time when the weather is such
that only people in the towns will
be able to get out to the polls and
cast their votes, and such an
election will cost the state, or
rather the counties, over fifty
thousand dollars. This money
will be spent for absolutely moth
ing, as there is another provision
in the amendment to the effect
that it shall not go into effect,
and the newly elected judges
shall not take office until Janu-
airy, 1911. This is nonsensical
and a useless waste of money, as
we will have another general
election in November, 1910. IN
der this proposed amendment
each county will have to pay the
salary of a district judge and al
so twenty-five hundred dollars
per year as salary for a court
stenographer. In addition to
this, when we have district court
open all the year around in a
county it will mean having a jury
in attendance on the court a
greater portion of the time, and
jury expenses will simply swamp
the county. Again, it will mean
going into the district court with
nearly all the little petty justice
court business that is now tried
by justice of the peace, and
having these cases tried by a
jury at the expense Of the coun-
| ty. 1t is estimated that the
average jury case in the district
court coats the county seventy
five dollars to try it, and it can
be seen at once that the county
would be bankrupt in trying the
scores of petty neighborhood
quarrels that properly belong in
the justice courts.
We are safe in saying that the
majority of the people and the
substantial and leading members
of the bar of the state, will be
opposed to this amendment when
they come to understand it, and
that it gets practically all the
support it has from those attor-
neys in the several counties who
want to become candidates for
election as judges. Everybody
should vote NO on this amend
ment. Let us keep our counties

Surridge The Man For Senator

OuIIluSS Inc VIdn FOI Senator. +
James Surridge, democratic
of the last state legisla-
ture from this county, is can
didate for senator this year and |
should have the hearty support
of every citizen of Idaho county
without regard to party. Mr..
Surridge made an enviable record
in the legislature two years ago
and was power to be reckoned
with, even though a minority
member. He was on the right
side of every good measure in
troduced and opposed to the ut
most every measure which he
thought to be injurious, no mat
ter where it originated or by
whom it was introduced, some of
Gov. Gooding's pet measures be-
ing included in the latter list.
Mr.. Surridge secured. the
appropriation of $4,000 for the
building of roads and trails in
the mountainous districts of this
county, and an examination of
the house journal will show that
he stood for the best interests of
his county and state at every
turn.
Mr.. Surridge was in the city
last Saturday and paid this office
a pleasure call to explain his
position on several matters. A
mong other things he said that,
if elected, he would use his best
endeavors to secure another large
appropriation for this county and
to- secure a state institution for
us if any were to be had. He
said that at present the small
prairie district here was taxed to
support the entire large county
and would gladly be rid of the
mountain territory if possible
but the only way in which this
could be done was by developing
the mountain districts until E.
nough taxable property could be
found there to justify making
one or two new counties. When
this time comes the prairie will
get relief but in the meantime
the burden must be borne. In
order to develop this country and
bring about relief roads and
trails must be built and Mr.. Sur
ridge is in favor of the state ap-
propriating money to assist in
this work, as the county is doing
all it can now without taking on
heavier burdens,
If elected Mr.. Surridge says he
will support every measure that
will be of benefit to his county
and state and will oppose all
measures that are not to the best
interests of a majority of his
constituents. He will use his
entire power in securing better
legislation for his state and Ida
no county in particular and as he
has shown himself to be a man
of ability he should be sent to the
state senate this fall.
Jim Surridge is an old pioneer
citizen of Idaho county and is
known by all the early residents
of the county. He is honest,
honorable and capable, has made
his money here, has all his inter
ests here and will return here to
live after his term expires.
Your interests are his interests
and he will protect them as his
own. Vote for him for senator
and help put man in Office who
can accomplish results. Idaho
county has drawn a blank long
enough.
