CAREER
ELIHU e. ADAMS, YOUNG AT
TORNEY, KILLED BETWEEN
STREET CARS AFTER SEEING
YOUNG WOMAN HOME.

Caught between two rapidly NOV
ing cars on the Spokane Traction
Co.'s line at the corner of Sinto
avenue and Washington street
while attempting to catch one of
them, Elihu e. Adams of the law
firm of Adams & Ride was SO badly
crushed about 11:45 o'clock last
night that he died a few minutes
later in the emergency hospital. He
left the home of Miss Sadie Asset
stein, stenographer, working in an
office near his own in the Germania
building, and whom he had escorted
home just before meeting with the
accident.
In trying to get across the street
in time to catch the inbound car, it
is believed the young lawyer did
not see the north bound car coming.
He was rolled bodily between the
two, then thrown to the street, with
his right leg broken in various
places and crushed internally.
The police patrol, with Steward
Woodruff and DIR. Roark of the
emergency hospital, was dispatched
to the scene with all possible haste
but he died without giving an &C.
count of the accident. Motorman
Henry Maib, E1717 Tilsley Place,
and Conductor w. E. Judd were on
the outbound car, which is said to
have ben first to strike Adams.
Adams has been here about three
years and was becoming prominent.
He was single. age 81, and leaves a
sister and father in Hazel, S. D.
His father, Ezra Adams is promi
nent in law circles there having
once been Judge. No funeral ar
engagements have yet been made.
The body Is at Gilman's undertake

SUSPECT OUT

FRIENDS BELIEVE ScOVlL, IN
NOCENT, WHILE CLAIM 10
MADE THAT CAsE,zAGAlNsT
HIM is GETTING STRONGER.

d. X. Scovil, the travelling man
arrested for the robbery of Mrs.
Mary Scovil on the lonely Bigelow
gulch road, near Hillyard, on April
8, was released on $1,000 bonds fur
nished yesterday eveninf by A.. M.
Hathaway, G. ]. Moore, B. j. Fitz.
patrick and P. c. Harrington.
These men have had business rela-
lions with Scovil, it is said, and as
serted their confidence in his
ability to prove his innocence and
show that Mrs. Smith has made a
most glaring erro of identification.
Deputy Prosecutor A. c. Clausen
says the indications pointing to the
guilt Of Scovil are growing
stronger. With Mrs. Smith at the
time of the holdup was her son,
aged IL years, who before seeing
Scovil after the latter's arrest de-
scribed infinitely hte clothes he
wore. After the boy was brought
before the prisoner he positively
identified him, and the clothes
worn by Scovil tailed with the de-
scription previously given by the
boy.
Another important witness has
been found who saw Scovil at Hill
yard on the afternoon of the
holdup, which occurred at p. m.
Mrs. Smith was on her way home
from Hillyard. where she had been
with load Of vegetables, when a
man, revolver in hand, leaped out
from a place of concealment along
the lone highway and demanded
that she throw up her hands. Mrs.
Smith complied and then on a Sec
ond demand handed over her
purse, containing $25, to the rob-
Der.
The Canadian alibi of Scovil will
be attacked at the hearing Monday
morning before Justice Stocker. 1t
is said that Immediately after hts
release yesterday evening Scovil
took a train out of the city.

TWIN BABY BOYS WITH
ATHER SICK IN HOSPITAL

There are two twin boys, IS
months old, cooling and happy out
at the Orphans Home of Spokane.
although their father, Albert
Machey, is in the hospital not ex-
pected to live, and their mother is
unable to take care of them with
so much hardship and trouble on
her hands. The home is out on
one edge of the city and 1t ceased
to be a place where one woman
could provide for healthy pair of
twin boys with no one to depend
upon for support.
But the little fellows know moth.
ing about that, of course, and their
baby days are undisturbed by the
problems that are perplexing the
father and mother. Whether they
will be left at the home for adop-
ton or not dependS largely upon
how the fortunes of the family
turn.
The children of the home had a
great time today seeing Spokane"
in G. NJ. McIntosh's big automo-
bile. They were in charge of Mrs,
Peterson, the matron, and you can
imagine what sort of n time she
had with about 81 active young
sters to keep from tumbling out
and committing other Juvenile
capers. But the children are well
behaved and they are generally
willing to mind. Still, the RESPONSE
