wealth and prominence. They had
been prejudiced in this case and had
concealed the cursing.
The conspiracy question was the
main defense of the defendant There
was nothing to prove that such coa-
Spiracy existed. except perhaps, one
entry in the minute book. Conspiracy
has nothing to do with the killing
Even If there was a conspiracy 1t
came TO an end before the killing and
before Wells fired the fatal shot II
knew this. The object of any conspir
acy. if such existed. was simply to
make an union job of the Wells Job.
All the threats refer to unionizing
the job and the conspiracy was set
tied by the agreement with Irwin on
the Monday night before the killing
and Wells knew il. He had a talk
with Irwin and was told that an a.
greement was made
The murder was committed in
cold state of blood. Wells was mad
at the union. and at all the members
of the union. He is a cold, calculat-
ing man. He looks at things in
cold business way. When he went to
the work in the morning. he knew OF
the agreement with Irwin and had he
not desired trouble he would have
sent the negroes away, but he did
not wish to avoid trouble.
The knife shown the jury was one
belonging to Shirley The prosecution
was not responsible for a careless
coroner's jury.
Wells had told OF his actions in a
cold. deadly calmness. He had re-
hearsed II and testified to IL. Mr..
Hsrvey did not. he said, believe one
half of the things he had said. The
other half he had testified to from
hearing the other witnesses. II he saw
all he testified to. he must have been
cool and calm when he fired the fatal
shot. Irwin said Wells was cool and
calm. Ninety nine out of one hundred
men would have been excited and rat
tied when on the stand In the condi-
ton of the witness, Wells. But ne
was cool and calm
The defense is the plea of self de-
fense. Such self defense to he a law
ful plea must be actually necessary.
A man must actually believe himself
in great danger and the appearances
must ibe such to bear this out, anu
also he must not have provoked the
difficulty. just because a man says
his life was in danger that is no ex-
cuse for killing a man.
Shirley had nothing in his hand
when he was killed. ii has never been
proved he had and the jury has no
right 10 assume that he had. Did Mr..

Tuesday Afternoon.

Court re-opened promptly at two
o'clock and w. w. Gatewood contin-
ued the presentation of the argument
for the defense. Mr.. Gatewood took up
the actions of the labor union where
he had left OFF before dinner. He quot
ed from the minutes of the union of
January %. in which the committee
was instructed TO keep after Wells"
and on February when report was
made that the Wells JOB was not en-
/, tirely union. He withdrew that por-
ton of his morning speech which re-
ferred TO the union as a den of con-
spirators." He said that he made that
remark in the heat of argument and
had since realized that it was not true.
He said that 80 ont of a hundred of
the union men were good. Aaw-abiding
citizens. but that in this case they
were misguided by a few designing
petty politicians. He then explained
that stewards are appointed by the
union to investigate as to whether
each job is union. non-union or part
union and that Ollie Shirley had been
appointed steward for the Irwin job.
All this he submitted as evidence that
conspiracy, as defined by law. had
been formed in the union against
Wells. He summed it up by saying
that the union had decided TO make of
the Wells joba union job, even II
! they had to go to the extreme of TAX
i ing Wells life and leaving the build
ing for his widow to complete
Quoting further from the minutes
of the union, the speaker entered into
an arraignment of the union and de-
nounced their acts in several cases,
as shown by the said minute books. He
denounced the Wells Incident and par
ticularly the conspiracy" as he
termed ii. in terms most bitter. He
denounced the acts of the union in
picketing jobs and causing the dis
! charge of nol-union men in bitter
! terms also. He said such union was
| impeding the growth and advance
ment of the town. He declared in a
climax of oratory that the jury was
not trying Wells: il was trying the
business interests. the advancement
and prosperity of this community.
Taking UP the knife ar6 tobacco of
the deceased yfhe speaker submitted
that ii was Ridiculous tina; a little
piece of tobacco would stick to 4
knife blade from March 9 to July 90:
and even more ridiculous that II
would then disappear. For when he
went to examine the knife blade TO
show the little piece of tobacco stick
. ing to IL the tobacco was gone. He
also submitted the plugs of tobacco
and argued that neither of them had
been cut at all and that one of them
had been bitten into. He intimated

nothing to do, what would happen. He
much feared that somebody would go
out of the office and down the steps
as fast as he could put them out and
down
No man has right to interfere with
another, provided he is acting Jaw
fully and legally. In that the labor
union violates the law it is wrong and
constitutes itsself as members of a
conspiracy and this is punishable by
law. -.
The first violation in this case
came not from Wells, who was tend
ing to his own business. He had the
right to erect these buildings. and un-
der the law could use one-thiId of the
street TO aid in so doing. provided he
did not impede traffic or walking to
and fro of pedestrians. The defendant
was so doing. interfering with none.
He was peaceful and everything was
quiet. Now then lets us read the rec
ord of the union meeting. Under a
January date we find this entry:

Death of w. E. SauIs.

Dr. w. E. Sauls, who was recently
 operated on for hemorrhoids, at the Pacific hospital, Los Angeles, died al that institution last Tuesday night after lingering more than a month The immediate cause of death is said to have been tuberculosis of the bladder. Knowing that the end was near the mother and brother of de- ceased were called from their home in Nebraska and were at the bedside when death came. Judge l.. M. Teale was also called from Kingman for the purpose of receiving the last instruc- tions of the dying man for the disposi- tion of his estate.
 In the death of Dr. Sauls Kingman loses valuable citizen and the widow ed mother a dutiful son. Coming here several years ago sufferer from the dread white plague, he went to work with a will and not only succeeded in a business way, but for time stopped the ravages of the disease.
 The funeral was held in Los Angeles under the auspices of the Elks lodge of that city, at the request of King man lodge, of which he was leading knight at the time of his demise.
 Mother and brother of deceased ar rived in Kingman yesterday and will remain here until the business of the estate is settled.

We would like very much to see the
 town of Kingman incorporated and
 hope the people will realize the ne- cessity of getting together on this i'm portant subject. With the incorpora- tion of the town will come the ability to manage our own affairs, to issue bonds for internal improvement, grade up and oil our streets and make the town one of the most inviting in the territory. With good roads running out of Kingman we would invite the trade of all the surrounding country and keep all that we already have. To do this we must have large appro- priation of money, which will necessi- tate the issuance of bonds. A wagon road along the high bench through Railroad Canyon would be worth many thousands of dollars yearly to the town, and the cost would not be nearly as great as some of our business men profess to believe. The roads to Stockton Hill and over Coyote Hill must be repaired and made passable by automobile to maintain our present trade relations with the camps that are reached over them, while the road to the Big Sandy needs much work on it. In conjunction with the county the people of Kingman should get to- gether on road building scheme at once, and this can only be done by the incorporation of the town, through which bonds can be issued for such im- provement purpose. The grading up of the streets to something like uni formity, is another matter that cannot be too strongly urged, and which when completed will be worth far more to the town than its cost. After completing the grade the streets can be oiled, mitigating the nasty dust storms that affiict the town during dry periods. The planting of trees along the streets of the town, building side walks, atfording fire protection by a water system, and the extension of sewer system, would be some of the features that incorporation would bring. The expense of these things would not be by direct taxation, but would come through bond issue, up- on which only minimum of tax for interest would be levied. Many of the things would bring in revenue and greatly cut the tax rate, but the pros- perity that this would bring would make it easy to bear the tax, even if it had to be borne directly. So let us get at the work and see what can be done before other towns spring up and take the trade that should by right be- long to the capital city of the county.

Roy Barnett, who was taken from g train last week in practically dying condition, died at the hospital in King. man last Monday night. His brother George arrived in Kingman the day following his arrival and was with him up to the time of his death, doing everything possible for his comfort. It was strange coincident, these two brothers meeting here without either one knowing the whereabouts of the other, and such short time before the death of one. Roy Barnett was one of the old timers of the county, having mined at White Hills during it's balmy days, and was also resident of Chloride some years ago. He had been at one of the tubercular hospi- tals of the east until few weeks ago and was on his way to the desert, where he thought the pure air would destroy the germs of the disease, but came back too late. He was mem Der of the Globe w. F. M, but noth- ing could be heard from the Secretary prior to his burial.

Colic Quickly Cured.

Collie is one of the most severe and painful diseases. It is quite commo on, too. Almost everyone has an occas- ional attack. Fortunately there is a remedy that always affords quick re- lief and that has never been known to fail in any case. It is called Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Tod Robinson, prominent merchant of Point Blank, Texas, says: "I have had several attacks of collie and in every instance one dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy relieved me, and nev- CT had to take more than two doses to effect cure."

Last Wednesday deputy U. s. Mar. shal John J. Reddick and an assistant removed seven U. s. prisoners from the Mohave county jail to Prescott, where they will be confined until the next term of the U. $. court. These men were all held on charges of sell ing liquor to Indians, all of them be- ing either caught in the act or admit ting the crime. The Interior depart ment is making an effort to suppress the selling of liquor to the Indians and has had appropriated very large sum for the purpose to be used during the year 1910. Special deputies have been appointed throughout the country in proximity to Indian reservations to prevent the sale and introduction of liquor within the limits of the reserves. Special officers working in this county the past year have as many as twelve counts against men on charges of sell tug liquor to the Indians, and yet the traffic is not stopped by the arrest of these people. Whenever the Indians have money to spend they are sure to get liquor.

John Hays Hammond Departs.

Last Saturday evening John Hays
 Hammond, the world celebrated ex- pert, accompanied by party of gen. tlemen, departed to Los Angeles,
 where he attended to some important business. After visit in the Angel City of few days he went on to Salt Lake City, where he was scheduled to meet Pres. Taft. MT. Hammond made an examination of the Bi-Metal mines while here and was much impressed with the extent of the mineral bearing ground uncovered in the property. One of the peculiar features of the mine is that it carries large amount of platinum in it's ores, the last bullion shipped from the mill carrying sev- enteen ounces of the pearly metal. As this metal is worth more than gold, and as the demand is great, it gives the mines added value. Mr. Hammond also was of the opinion that the grea,- CT volume of ore was lying to the west of the mill, where it has not been touched upon by the developments car ried on by the company. That the property was a most valuable one Mr. Hammond readily admitted, and that he was much pleased with the ap- pearance of the country. It is expect ed that he will make Mohave county another visit in the near future and look over the other mining sections.
