CLARENCE ERNST ON
TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE

OGDEN, Jan. 6.-The trial of Clar-
ence Ernst. a colored man. charged
with murder in the first degree occu-
pied the entire day on Wednesday in
the district court before Judge j. A
Howell. No sensational developments
we're revealed and as there is no de-
NAL of the fact that Ernst did shoot
Staples, also colored, there remains
only the problem of the motives which
led up to the shooting and the ques-
ton Of justification.
Following the opening statement
by District Attorney Harris, the first
witness called for the state was Will
liam j.. Hall, young colored man
formerly in the employ of the Pull
Ing as a walter in the Louvre cafe at
salt Lake. He said he was we'll ac-
quainted with Staples, whom he knew
as q horseman and racing tout at Sar-
atoga and said he was present In
Ernst's gambling house on Lincoln
avenue the night of the shooting. He
detailed Incidents of the gambling
game wherein Giles and Staples quar-
relied and followed the latter in pursuit
OF Giles to the Assembly saloon, a col
ored resort on Twentyf1fth street. He
said Ernst was present when the row
occurred between Giles and Staples
and was also a participant in the game
OF BRICK JACK, lnut ne, Ernst, was
incensed at the breaking up OF the
game In his house and attributed the
row to the drunken condition of
Staples. He had seen no knife or
other weapon in StapleS's possession.
either before or during the row be-
tween the latter and Giles, and did
not believe Staples was armed or look
Ing for desperate encounter. Staples
had visited the Assembly saloon twice
that night, about 1890 o'clock, after
the row and had then left presumably
for Ernst's saloon. The witness had
then started to follow Staples down
Twenty fifth street and while going
toward the Board of Trade" corner
saloon. had heard several shots and
later on realized that a tragedy had
been enacted.
