what she should testify to at the trial.
The affidavit says: "On such occasions
have heard said Amanda Ward Vance,
when addressing Lena, use such express
sions as the following: You must say
this, etc, - You know very well
that your pa kicked your ma, etc,
- Now, don't you remember this

Mrs. Wunderlich in her affidavit says
that Mrs. Ward, at the time Of the pre-
liminary hearing of Vance, testified to
several things derogatory to the con-
victed wife-murderer, that as a matter
of fact never occurred. That Mrs. Ward
coached Mrs. Vance in her dying
statement, is another of Mrs. Wunder-
lich's statements.
Mrs. Wunderlich also attacks Mrs.
Cora Rehpenning's testimony, and
points out several alleged misstate-
ments in it. Mrs. Rehpenning is not a
reliable witness, and her testimony is
not accurate nor TO be depended upon.

ment of Receiver,

The multitude of claims against the
Redman Van & Storage company for
loss of goods in the fire which destroyed

pointed was brought by 3. +. Redman,

in the company, owning twelve OF the
total stock OF 1000 shares. and that the
comuauy owes hun for services I'm De
cember and January $34J. He states

essary to create heavy liabilities TO
continue business. 1t had held approxi-

stroyed. Many suits for the losses have
been started and the company is stated
to be in danger of insolvency

not exceed $500. The company has
sold out its business, and is not d going

STOCkADE CASE IN COURT
Mrs. D. Donaldson Being Tried on a
Charge of Conducting Dress
making Establishment.

The hearing of the cases arising out
of the recent raids made by Sheriff
Sharp on occupied houses within the
walls of the "stockade," was begun in
Justice of the Peace Stanley A. Hanks
court yesterday. The first case called
was that against Mrs. d. Donaldson,
who, according to the card displayed in
the window of the house which she oc-
cupied, conducts a dTessmaking estab-
lishment. owing to the difficulty in Sc
curing an acceptable jury, it was late
in the afternoon when the introduction
of testimony began, and only two wit
nesses had been examined when ad-
journment was taken until today at II
O'Clock.
Ban z. Graves. a cab driver, was the
first witness, and related how, in COM
pany with a companion, he had spent
about twenty minutes in Mrs. Donald
sons house, during which time the Wis
itOrs and the inmates of the house
drank beer and smoked cigarettes.
Mrs. Martha Price, who lives near the
stockade, and who is interested in the
Lloyd estate, testified as to the general
bad reputation of the stockade and its
habitues.
On cross examinatiOn the witness adj
mitted that she had a deep personal in
terest in the case, as she was a party to
suit brought TO prevent the opening
of the stockade, and that she had also
contributed money to aid in the fight
against the Citizens Investment COM
pany.
The jurors in the case are L. G. Mel
son, D. Evans, Hyrum Richards and
George Hawks.

C0UNCILMEN FINALLY LAND A CHINK
AS RESULT OF STUNNING TOUR

Although they maintained that they
mad not been acting in an official ca
pacity, the little stroll taken through
Commercial street by Councilmen ]. G.
Murdoch, W. H. Raybould and Oliver
Hodgson. about midnight Saturday,
Feb. 6, brought $50 to the city's cof-
fers yesterday. 1t also served to pro-
vide considerable amusement for the
spectators in Judge Bowman's court.
Hop Sing, who maintains a rooming
house on the third floor of the building
at 16h ComTuerciaI street, contributed
the $50, after he had been found guilty
on the testimony of the three members
of the council that they had witnessed
him in the act of selling intoxicating
liquors without a city license. The
burden of their testimony was that
while on sightseeing" tour of the
city to 'see what they could see" on
the night mentioned, a friend" had
told them that he could take them to a
place where a Chinaman sold liquor
without a license. That was evidently
one of the sights the party desired to
see, and following their guide they en-
tered Hop Sings room. Each of the
councilmen saw the friend receive a
bottle of beer and pay Hop Sing for it,
but Murdoch and Hodgson only tasted
the liquid to make sure 1t was beer,
while RaybOuld took their word for it.
For time the Identity of the
friend" was something of a mystery.
Mr. Murdoch did not know his name,
and Mr. HOdgson had only known him
by sight. Under w. Il. Hutchinson's
Interrogation Mr.. Raybould admitted
that he had heard the name, but did
not care to give it, as the man didn't
want to appear in the case" When
forced, however, he said he believed
the guides name was William Hold.
Messrs. Raybould and Murdoch created
a ripple of laughter by giving their &C.
equations as councilman" Mr.. Hodg
son put his councilmanic position sec
ond to that of contractor.
The presentation of the defense's
case proved a strenuous task, and after
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-02-24

nearly an hour had been spent in a
futile attempt to get any Ineligible
answers to questions put to the de-
PENDANT and two of his compatriots it
was found necessary to send for an in
terpreter.
The defendant admitted having had
whisky and beer IN his possession, but
contended that he had kept it there
during the Chinese New Year season
for the purpose of treating his friends.
He did not remember having seen the
council party in his room, and was pos
tive that he had never sold any beer
Outbursts of laughter followed a
number of Hop Sings answers and
confessions. He said that although
Chinese New Year was supposed to last
month, yet that was optional, and a
man could celebrate it as long as he
wanted to. For his part, he had been
celebrating it thirty-four days, and
had not finished yet, but he would
finish it as soon as he was released.
A clever attempt to cast q mute
doubt on the cTedibility of Sings testi-
mOny was as cleverly checkmated by
Mr.. Hutchinson. After Sing had testi-
fed that he had had about a gallon of
whisky and four bottles of beer I'm his
room, Prosecutor Rogers sent to have
the bottled goods brought into the
court room. 1t took three or four pa
trolmen and Clerk Clutch to carry the
stuff in, and when they completed the
job there was an array of TASKS of
whisky, bottles and a jug, all filled,
sufficient to start up a barrOom. Upon
Prosecutor Rogers refusal to put Chief
of Detectives Sheets on the witness
stand, Mr.. Hutchinson promptly called
him, and despite the strenuous Objec-
tons of Mr.. Rogers, secured the state
ment that the bulk of the bottles had
been taken from the room of George
Davis. who Was arrested with Hop
Sing and later released for lack of evil
dence.
Hop Sing was found guilty on the
testimony of the COUncimen, and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $50

LICENSE TAX COLLECTOR
COMPELLED TO SETTLE
Raleigh Declines to Recognize Pay
ment of Political Assessments
in Lieu of Poll Tax.

Because he paid his assessment to the
American" party campaign fund at the
last election, Samuel l, Goldman, depu-
ty license tax collector, thought he was
exempt from payment of poll tax. Jake
T. Raleigh, street supervisor, thought
otherwise. The collection of poll taxes
comes under Raleigh's department and
seeing no reason why city officials
should not pay as weG as anyone else,
he issued summons accordingly. Cod
man received one of these notices, and
at once sought Raleigh's office to speak
his mind He told the street supervisor
that it was piece of petty spite, that
he had paid his campaign contribution
and had worked hard for the "Amori-
can" party, and that it was officiousness
on Raleigh's part to ask him to pay any
such tax.
Some of the other city officials, Q. II.
Skidmore of the city engineers staff,
among the number, put up the same
sort of howl, telling Raleigh that he
had no regard for faithful work for the
party, and that they would get him
sooner or later.
Goldman at first refused to pay, so
Raleigh sent his name with others for
collection, The only good the kick did
them was an additional charge for
service of summons.
Goldman collected the city license tax
from Raleigh s, Harmon, the firm of
teamsters in which The street super
visor is the senior partner. This may
or may not have something to do with
Raleighs action. Anyway. he says that
every city official, whether a tax col
lectOr or 4 clerk. whether he worked for
or against the party, is soing to pay
his poll tax to the city or he will know
the reason why.

NFIDAVITS FILED
IN VANCE CASE
Determined Effort Made to Dis
credit Testimony of Muir
dered Woman'S Sister.

Afidavits were filed Tuesday with an
application for a new trial for Thomas
Vance, over whom there is a death SEN
-snce for the murder of his wife. These
davits attack the reputation for We
Mcity of Mrs. Amanda Vance Ward,
the murdered woman's sister, who was
a witness against Vance at the trial be-
fore Judge Armstrong of the district
court.
The affidavits are from five neigh
bors and acquaintance of Mrs. Ward,
with another from Frank Stanley of
Lehi. All are designed to discredit the
testimony of Mrs. Ward. and four of
them state positively that they would
not believe her on oath. The five neigh
bOrs who are positive on the question of
Mrs. Wards bad reputation for truth
telling are Mrs. Clara Wuf ieTlich,
Lewis NJ. Cannon of 1880 South Eighth
West street, Cyrus II. Gold, Clara L.
Richards and John Abbott of 743 South
Eighth West street.
Mrs. Clara Richards declares in her
affidavit that she would not believe any
statement made by Mrs. Ward, under
oath or otherwise.
After setting out that he has lived
next door to Mrs. Ward for three years.
and knows her intimately, John Abbott
declares that her reputation for truth
and YeraCity in the community is bad.
and that, in his opinion, her testimony
IS not accurate nor to be depended upon,
and furnishes Confederation to the affi-
davit of Lena Vance, the eldest child
of the convicted murderer, that Mrs.
Ward cOerCed her to testify against her
father under threats of prison.
In his affidavit Abbott says that he
frequently saw Lena at the home OF
Amanda Ward Vance, and on several
occasions overheard conversations be-
tween the two. and had also heard Mrs.
