Il. c. BATEHAM FREE
FROM SERIOUS CHARGE

H. c. Batehahn goes free from the
serious charge involving thirteen
year-old girl, and in the freeing
there resulted some caloric state
ments from the bench. In other
words, Judge Calkins was wrathy.
In court at 1880 this morning.
Attornel Edward S. Van Dyke, asis-
tant district attorney, arose and ask
ed that the case of the State versus
Bateham be dismissed. This was a
jolt for judge, spectators and attor-
neys. District Attorney Mulkey was
present although Van Dyke did the
talking for the state and gave as his
reason for the request for dismissal
that it would be a detriment to the
public morals to allow the case to
go to trial. This was another poser
for the judge, and he demurred, and
began to reply to the proposition,
when Van Dyke, evidently seeing the
court would not dismiss the case on
the grounds proposed. then stated
as a further reason, lack of evi-
dence to convict.
To this proposition, Judge Calkins
replied. He said:
why do grand juries bring In
indictments against men when there
is insufficient evidence for convic-
ton? If there was not sufficient
evidence, a stigma should not be
placed on man, advertising him
broadcast in the community In
which he lives, especially on such
reprehensible charge as is made IL
this case. On the other hand IL evi
dence pointed to guilt, jury SHOULD
hear the case"
Mr.. Van Dyke excused the pro
ceeding by saying that witnesses II
the case were all little girls ant
they made statements before tn
grand jury which were of such ma
ture that the grand jury could no
, fail to bring an indictment.
Since their appearance before tn
grand jury, these children had talk
ed with their parents and 1t has beel
learned that the evidence they CAV
! to the grand jury would not be re
, peated on the witness stand, henc
: the state felt that the conviction
would fail.
) THE reason why the childre
5 would not testify in court along tn
e same lines as they did before tn
grand jury" said the assistant pros
ecutor, was that when they appear
ed before secret tribunal they wer

frightened, hardly responsible and
made statements which could not be
later corroborated."
Attorney r. G. Smith, for Bate
ham, arose and put In a few vim
egary remarks regarding the matter,
Attorney Smith stated that Bateham
had been traduced by a certain por-
tion of the community, villified and
convicted by popular clamor, some
of the parties even going so far as
to make talks of lynching.
And these people," said Attor-
ney Smith, who are so Jealous In
prosecuting Bateham, would not be
affected by any act as was charged
against the defendant, as the indi-
viduals were not even men of fam
ily."
Judge Calkins then spoke at
length on the matter. He reiterated
his former statement that grand
juries should not bring in indict-
ments to please the community, but
| should adhere strictly to the law and
the fact, so far as the facts were pro-
durable.
Il do not mean to condemn the
grand jury which brought In this in
dictment," said the court, nor any
particular grand jury, but speak Of
grand juries in general. They should
be cautious in condemning a man
before the public by bringing an in
dictment; also cautious to see thai
no guilty one escapes indictment. In
the present case, the state sets up
the alleged fact that truth will not
be gotten from these children. II
is an old saw which says that chill
dren always speak the truth But in
this action, these children may have
been frightened and embarrassed
and made statements to the grand
jury, which, as the state now AYERS,
cannot be duplicated In the witness
chair. am compelled, therefore
to ask the clerk 60 enter an order

SHFBA Mine AGAIN
IN THE L|MEL|CHT

T. J. Ryan. superintendent of lease
on the Sheba mine, is in town today.
This celebrated mine, which made Ne
vada famous in the early CO.'S as sill
yer producer, is situated in Star can
Won, about 18 miles south of INLAY.
Fifty years ago there were 5000 people
in the camp and everything was boom
ing. A man named Isaac Miller erect
ed $50, 900 hotel, the lumber used in
its construction having been hauled
from Sacramento by ox-team. The
ruins of the old hotel and other fine
buildings are still visible today. The
5000 people who made their homes
there half century ago have been re-
duced to three, namely, JOSH Phillips,
r. ]. Ryan and Fred Parsons.
However, there is a prospect that
the camp may regain its lost prestige
in great measure. Last week James
Edwards, managing director of the
Sheba Mining company, and Engineer
Plum visited camp for the purpose of
developing the old mine, and the lat
ter is at present on the ground, work
ing out plans for running a 900foot
tunnel. It is stated that by another
spring mill will be erected on the
ground of sufficient capacity to reduce
all the ores mined.
Important Deal Closed.
| Phil Blume and associates have re-
Gently closed deal with the Thornton
boys for the purchase of the Star
Peak, mine, adjoining the Sheba. II
is understood that the new purchasers
are outfitting this week and will be
gin work on the property within the
