JUDGE RULES OUT
PAPERS OBJECTED TO

cision OF considerable importance in
the penitentiary case at noon today
in which he held that the statute o.
limitations was bar to the introduc-
ton OF testimony by the state in It's
efforts to establish proof OF either
conspiracy or the procuring OF money
under false pretense against the de-
fendants
The ruling was the result OF mo-
ton made by Clyde c, Dawson to ex-
clude from the jury exhibits for the
prosecution from forty-eight to eighty.
both and inclusive. containing alleg-
ed fraudulent vouchers. or invoices.
for coal and other supplies billed by
the defendants TO the prison. but
which were disallowed by the auditor
on the ground that no record OF their
having been delivered TO the peniten-
tiary could be found on the books OF
the institution.
Judge wilkin ruled that the state
was not entitled to go further back in
It's efforts to obtain evidence in this
case than the beginning OF the statute
of limitations. or December 20. 1907.
to show the commission OF unlawful
acts by the defendants in connection
with either the conspiracy charge. or
the one alleging the procuring OF mon
ey by false pretonseS.
III the unlawful intent did exist
previous to the beginning OF the stat
ute Of limitations" said Judge wilkin.
1T should be easy TO prove II by events
that have subsequently occurred. q
the charges cannot be established
he continued. by these later evena
1t is not at all likely that they could
be by those OF an earlier date" In
support OF mis- ruling Judge wiikin
quoted copiously from both the state
and the federal reports.
W. L. PitcaIihley. expert accountant
for the Continental Audit company Of
Denver. was placed on the witness
stand by the state at , O'Clock yester-
day afternoon ana continued his tes-
tlmony in relation to the books and
accounts at the penitentiary during
the regime OF John cleghorn as war
den. or. rather. that portion OF II de-
scribed In the Information and the bill
OF particulars In this case. Mr.. PIT
caithiey made an examination Of the
books and accounts at the prison in
1910 at the Instance OF Public Examin-
er J. y. Foley and Ex-Attorney Gener-
al Barnett and il was upon the alles-
ed results OF his work at that time
that the present proceedings were in
stltuted.
Mr.. Pitcaiihiey hps all along been
regarded as the star witness for the
state and IT was upon his evidence
that the attorney general and his as
sociates relied TO make n case against
the defendants. While he was able
to poln; out many apparent diserep-
ancies in the monthly vouchers. or In
voices. OF the defendants in billing
their accounts with the penltentiary
he knew absolutely nothing from per-
sonal knowledge OF their dealings
with the institution
Judge wilkins decision at noon to-
day touching the statute OF Limitations
will greatly simplify the proceedingn
and will materially shorten the trial
by minimizing the mass of testimony
to be presented.

"Ihc Confession"

The Confession" which played to tremendous engagement for six months at the Bijou Theater, Broad way, New York City, will be present cd at the Elks Theater on Monday, October '. It has proved to be one of the most successful plays on the stage ill the past ten years and one that will appeal to the most cosmo- politan theatergoer.
 The story that is told is remark able one and the plot is well devel- oped and finds strong conclusion. Much interest should be attached to the fact that this is the first perform ance of this great play which claims great dramatic powers, heart inter- est. lesson and purpose, coupled with the announcement of dis tingushed cast of exceptional ability.
 In letter to James Halleck Reid, the author, Vicar General John H. Fox, of Trenton IN. J., says:
 "ln your play 'To Serve the Cross, now called Tine Confession, you are making laudatle effort to elevate the stage and make it the hand maid of religion. In this, you would have the approval of all good men. The sacred tribunal of pennance and it's inviolable seal of secrecy, which seems to be the motive of the play are reverently DO. trayed.
 q trust The Confession will ac- complish all that you hope for 1t.
