LIBEL CASE
GROWS WARMER
SPECIFIC CHARGES AGAINST ST.
LAS WHITMAN DISCLOSED IN
EVIDENCE At TRIAL OF MARK
ARTHUR TODAY.

The preliminary examination OF
Mark Arthur, the Indian preacher
charged with criminal libel by Silas
whitman, fellow churchman and
tribeman. is being conducted today
before Justice of the Peace Erb.
The greater part Of the day has
been taken up by the state in pre-
senting the evidence intended to
show that Arthur had read certain
napers before the church in which
false statements relative to the char
sctsr of Whitman were made The
state also alleges that these charges
were taken before the church pres
hytery at Walla Walla with the re-
suit that Whitman was discharged
from the position of secretary of the
Christian Endeavor society and
chairman of the church choir.
The position of the defense is that
the particular charges are in error,
As tie paper containing the specified
charges referred to by the Whitman
complaint was not read before the
church people, but in its stead the
marriage of Whitman to squaw at
North Yakima, from whom he Is
now separated and from whom he
did not secure divorce.
The clause upon which the state
H. basing its case is one which re-
fers to the arrest of Whitman in
Lewiston by the police department
and where he was fined $3.50 by the
police Judge and released upon his
promise to pay 1t is stated that
Arthur claimed to have letter from
Judge Coburn in which the details
of the arrest were recorded and the
information that Whitman had new
er returned to pay his fine.
Before securing the, warrant fol
the arrest of Arthur sworn state
ment was secured by Whitman from
Judge Coburn in which 1t was stated
that Whitman had never been finet
in his court.
The trial is being attended by
large number of the church Indian
of the Nezperce tribe. The factiona
church trouble has greatly embar
rassed the work this year, and inter
est in the outcome of the case ha
spread to all parts of the reserva
tion.
