CASEDAY MUST HANG UNLESS THE
GOVERNOR COMMUTES SENTENCE

garding that arrangement he took the
prisoner alone and left for Canyon
City about o'clock in the morning.
Although warned Of plans to lynch
Snyder and advised to take assist
ance, he curtly declined any help.
The testimony also tends to show
that his four co-defendants left Ham
ilton on horseback in advance of him
and took the road leading to Canyon
City. The defendant Hinton was con-
victed on a separate trial of murder
in the second degree and testified at
the trial of Caseday, giving the de-
tails of taking and killing the pris-
oner about two miles out of Hamil-
ton towards Canyon City. The fore
going is statement OF only some of
the salient features OF the volumin-
Gus testimony in the record. The
contention of the state is in substance
that the matter of lynching Snyder
was arranged among the defendants
Shields, Green and Hinton and that
Caseday was approached on the sub
ject and consented to play the part
of taking the prisoner ostensibly un-
der arrest to the place where the
other defendants, by a pretence of
force should take him away from
the officer and lynch him. The sep
arate trial of Caseday resulted in a
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree and from the resultant
Judgment he appealed.
Burnett, j.: The first error as
signed is the refusal of the court to
change the place of trial, The de-
fendant filed his own affidavit and
that of one Of his attorneys, together
with two others, to the effect that the
killing of Snyder had been generally
discussed throughout the countp;
that several accounts of the homi-
eide had been published in the local
papers and that in their opinion a
fair and impartial trial could not be
had in that county. 1t is also
charged that some of the prominent
taxpayers had employed special
counsel to aid in the prosecution.
The state filed counter affidavits, in
substance giving contrary opinion
as to the probability of getting fair
and impartial jury. The affidavits
amount to no more than the mere
opiionn of the atlantis as to the state
of public feeling. On the part of the
defendant there Is no showing of any
overt act indicating prejudice
against him except in the employment
Of special counsel. Who or how
many of the citizens of the county
participated in that employment Is
not shown. The newspaper accounts
attached to the affidavits are devoid
of sensation calculated to infiame the
public mind. The press accounts
were mere statements as matters Of
news of the testimony given at the
trial of Hinton and other incidents
/ relating to the homicide. The show
ing is in substance equivalent to the
statement that possibly the public
may have formed general opinion
of the guilt or innocence of the de-
fendant from what it has heard or
read. This situation as to the ma

Mr.. Cary Quotes The Star.


how much there was in the fund at pres
ent.
Mr.. Cary Quotes The Star.
MY impression is that 1t rs practically
exhausted said Mr.. Gardner.
Mr. Cary insisted there was 5000 in the
fund at present.
Il wish to quote The Evening Star Of
December s. 1910,'' said Mr.. Cary. when
the controversy was up The Evening Star
said that there had been about $3,500
spent up to that time for removal OF
sanow-in that Northumberland they
was not being removed. and so forth. as
there were SO many complaints being
made by the citizens of this District that
there was no snow cleaning being carried
on.
From the sth of December until the
beginning of the 18th. except by the so
called white angels, cleaning by the reg
uiar gang who clean the streets was sus-
pended. That was suspended from the
Sth of December until the 18th, and dur
ing that time Mr.. Commissioner Johnston
was called to the Presidents Office and
asked why the snow was not being remoy-
ed. and The Star on the 1ath stated the
Commissioner claimed there was about
Sb,Jn or the $4,000 spent. bu. he did not
say anything about the 5000 left over
from the previous fund, and, in fact, there
was not this amount of money spent.
On December u the street snow cleaners
were ordered to so ahead again. In the
meantime the snow had melted and froze
and became ice, and it was necessary to
use picks. whereas if they had let the
men continue on the 9th the cleaning
could have been finished in the usual
way with good deal less expense. The
Star claimed that the Commissioner re-
ported that there was about $3.50 spent
out of the $4,000 while saying nothing
about the amount available December 8,
$4,000. The amount actually spent be-
tween the 9th of December and the Sth,
1910. was somewhere in the neighborhood
of $1,000 and / am told there is now
about $4,000 in the fund I did not know
but what the chairman might have had
this thing before his committee and could
have Informed us something about the
controversy at the time and why this
snow cleaning was stopped when there
was plenty of money in the fund to clean
the streets instead of letting it stay there
and become. ice and they had to take pick
axes at about three times the expense to
remove it. Who was to blame for this?

very bad one
