Booth Changed His Mind.

There was some doubt in my mind -
said Mr. Ware, "and in the minds Of
several of the jurors as to the courts
jurisdiction in the case. and this ques-
ton was discussed very often. AS it
was a question of law. we were willing
to take the opinion of Mr. Booth in the
matter. He gave. it as his opinion,
which he said was well supported. that
the case was one for the federal courts.
That opinion he seems now to have
changed"
Did Mr.. Booth have a ruling on the
case from the department of justice at
that time?'
Il am not sure whether or not he said
that he had received any opinion from
Washington on the matter. He said.
however, that he had taken up the
question and that the federal court had
jurisdiction in the case"
The question Of the Jurisdiction of the
court depends upon whether or not Mel
son was an agent of the bank. Under
the federal law d director. teller or
agent of national bank may be prose-
cuted in the federal courts for thefts
from the bank If an outsider steals
money from the national bank he must
be prosecuted for the theft in state
courts.
The contention of the prosecution Of
Nelson was that on certain of his visits
to the Utah National bank ne went into.
the vaults of the bank, opened the re-
serve chest and took sums of money
in all to s106, 250. These
thefts il was believed by the prosecu-
tiOn. were committed while acting as the
agent for the bank II was cOntended
that the fact that he had the keys 10
the bank. that he had access to IT at
times not during the regular banking
hours. and that he took the money for
the Utah National bank to Bingham
Junction. made him an agent of the
bank and therefore subject to the fed
eral laws. The department Of justice
holds that the privileges granted Mel
son by the bank We're not sufficient TO
make him the AGENT Of the bank.

matter of what course il shall pursue in
the Persian situation. 1t agrees with
Great Britain that vigorous measures

Second Break Occurs.

An arrangement was made with the Tel

until the wires of the Utah Light * Rail-
way company could be put into commits
sion and the cars were run in a desultory
manner until about 1870, when the main
breaks We're repaired The company made
every effort to accommodate the crowds
going to business. but were unable to
move a wheel until the breaks had been
repaired the first time.
The line broke again near Pennington
after the first break had been repaired.
but cars were all maintaining some sort
OF a schedule by 1870. with the exception
of the Fort Douglas line. which is blocked
between Mt. Olivet cemetery and the post.

and the cut above Mt. Olivet was drifted
so tightly that the plows could not buck

Grand Jurors Statement.

There is some feeling on the part Of
the grand jurors who made such an ex-
haustive investigation of the case that
the opinion OF the department of justice
discredits their work in this case. II
was stated last night by We. Ware, a
member OF the firm of Ware x Tregan-
"a, that the question of Jurisdiction was
discussed at the time of the grand jury
investigation and that Mr.. Booth gave
it as his opinion that the federal court
had jurisdiction.

In case the action against Nelson is
