closed Thursday afternoon Emmett
Bachman was on the witness stand.
At the confusion of his evidence,
AL Gabbeart was called and
examined. He testified to staying
will Dye the first night Dye spent
in the Tuscarora Jail and told of a
remark Dive is said TO have made
to him as follows: "Al. do you
think Sewell wants to prosecute
me as bad as he does the Pri.
meauxs, the men back of me-" or
something to that effect. liner oss
examination the defense brought
out that Gabbeart was unfriendly
to Dye and had threatened to kill
him a few Years ago and that
Gabbeart was working for the
reward offered by Mr.. Sewell for
the detection Of the guilty parties.
A reward of $500 was at first
offered and this was afterwards
conditionally raised to $4,000.
At the conclusion Of Gabbeart's
evidence Judge Averill adjourned
court until 10 O'Clock this fore
noon.
The first and only witness this
forenoon was Mr.. Sewell who was
called to testify about conversa-
ton he overheard between Dye
and Bowman. in which Bowman
was trying to get Dye to confess.

have stated that he would not
squeal. He wac cross examined

A CUTTING SCRAPE

Shortly after 8 o'clock last
night Ed West, who stabbed
George Satton at the. S p. freight
depot Thursday morning, was
arrested by Constable Oudcrkirk,
Deputy Constable Cotant and
Deputy Sheriff Critchley. The
cutting occurred early in the morn
ing and the officers searched for
him all Hay but could get no trace
of him. They concluded that West
was in hiding and woul1 strike
out after dark. They searched
the Indian camp north of town but
did not ind him. Shortly after
this West was seen headed for
Tuscarora and was arrested. He
made no resistance.
George Sutton, the man stabbed,
was taken to the county hospital
yesterday. He has q bad cut on
one arm, cut over the kidneys
and another in one Of his hips.
We have been unable to learn the
particulars Of the affair further
than the men quarrellcd and West
applied offensive epitbets to Sutton
then Sutton knocked him down.
West got up with his open knife
in his hand and began slashing
Sutton.
West is the man who was thrown
from a buckle horse in front Of
the Commercial Hotel a few
months ago. He is said to have an
unsavory reputation. He is also
suspected of stealing a saddle.
Sutton has been here since the
first Of June and has worked at
odd jobs around town.
A complaint has been flied
charging West with an assault with
intent to kill.

was the alleged confession of Dye.
The defense then asked that the
jury be excused while an inquiry
was made into the facts and cir
cumstances surrounding the con-
fession. The request was granted
and the jury was excused until 2
o'clock. Mr.. Sewell was ques-
toned by Mr.. Levers regarding
the part he took in obtaining the
confession. He told of conversa-
tions with Dye in the county Jail
in one of which Dye said he would
tell the whole story. Mr.. Sewell then
went for District Attorney Dysart
who accompanied him back to the
Jail. The district attorney quoted
the law to Dye and Dye said he
would tell his story. MIR. Dysart
called his stenographer to the Jail
and the confession was taken down
in short hand and afterwards type
written. When all this done
Dye refused to sign it.
Judge Perky cross-examined
Sewell closely and brought out
that Dye had been taken from the
Jail to Mr.. Gedney's house and
given liquor and diner. This was
after he had refused to sign the
confession. Also that E. A. P.
johnson had been suspected by
several people as the guilty party
but not by Mr.. Sewell, because of
a difficulty between them of two or
three years standing and that
Johnson had refused to acc ept
employment i. n the case. wnen he
learned that Mr.. Sewell did not
suspect him, but promised to
gather al! tie evidence he could
against the accused parties.
At the afternoon session. the

was continued. When he is

was made. When this evidence is

The case is now at its most

upon circumstantial evidence.
