BOTH SIDES REST
IN MURDER TRIAL

Late Tuesday afternoon the State
offered in evidence the confession of
Uric before the coroner's Jury which
inquired into the death of the Quilicies.
Attorney Wise for the defense, OBJ
jected on the ground that same con
stituted judicial evidence, and was not
admissible under the statutes. The
Court took the same view and the
confession was in consequence not ad-
mitted.
State Rests.
At IL o. 'clock this morning the State
concluded it's case, with the evidence
of Lamori, a brother of Mrs. Quilici,
who was an eyewitness of the murder.
Lamori stoutly maintained that there
were three men implicated in the af-
fair, and was not shaken in this con-
tention. He also positively identified
Uric as one Of the men.
Yesterday, over the strenuous OBJ
lection of Attorney Wise, the confes-
sion made by Uric in the presence Of
Sheriff Lamb, District Attorney Cal
lahan and Officer Rich was admitted
in evidence. Counsel claimed that this
confession was secured by duress and
other improper methods, and in sub
sanitation of this contention placed
Uric on the stand just before the noon
adjournment today. Uric told the
story of how the confession had been
obtained, which was confirmed in
measure by Sheriff Lamb The Court
then stated that he was now satisfied
that the confession should not have
gone to the jury, and that he would
withdraw it from the jury's considera-
tion by instruction.
1t is considered, however, that the
State has made good case without
the confession.
Uric Tells Story of Crime.
At I:30 this afternoon Attorney
Wise placed Uric on the stand. no
doubt to show that defendant was un.
der the domination of an older and
stronger man, and that he did not
fire shot. Uric testified substantial
~ as follows, concluding his testimony
at 2:40:
"Last December TRAINER. Diffen
daffer and myself were in camp at the
old Blakesley ranch, in the vicinity of
Inlay, running wild horses. On De
cember 20 Tramner took Diffendaffer
over to Dutch Flat, returning TO camp
on the second of January. Upon his
return / told TRAINER that / guessed
! would go to Winnemucca, get job
and go to work. TRAINER objected,
saying that he knew an easier way of
securing money. When ! asked how,
he said by going and holding up the
dago' saIoon. 20 this ! objected, say
ing that by SO doing we were liable
to get ourselves into all sorts of
trouble. and that / did not care to get
money in that way. He answered by
saying that I had got to do it. On
January 5th TRAINER again brought
up the subject, illustrating how the
holdup could be accomplished without
injuring anyone. On the evening OF
the 9th he saddled the horses, got ou,
the guns and told me | had got to ac-
company him.
"When we arrived at Inlay we tied
our horses about 200 yards from
OUTLETS saloon Frank then tied my
hands to the horn of my saddle and
went up to Slaughter's saloon and Sc
cured a bottle of whisky When he
came back he united my hands, handed
me the bottle and told me to take a
few jolts of that and ! would feel bet

For reply he poked a six shooter in
my back, commanding me to go on. -
Defense Rests.
At this point the defense rested it's
case and the witness was turned over
10 the State for cross ss-examination.
Continuing. Uurie stated that when
he entered the saloon he threw his
rifle on Jean Quilici, commanding him
TO throw up his hands. Instead of
complying with the demand Quilici
g~ahted the end of the rifle and at
tempted to wrench it from his hands
At this point TRAINER fired, the bull
let taking effect in OUTLETS right
shoulder. The latter staggered and at
tempted to escape, but just as he was
passing out the front door TRAINER
fired again and Quilici fell.
Uric denied having fred single
shot and also denied the presence of a
third man, as claimed by Witness La
mort
At the conclusion of Urie's cross ex.
animation both sides rested and re-
cess was taken until 4 clock, to al
low the attorneys time to prepare their
instructions.
