LINE Ger SIERRAS

Plans are under consideration TO
change the route Of the Weston
Pacific over the Sierras. 1t is pro-
posed to leave tie present line at
Keddie, California, running north
and building through Honey Lake
and Indian valley, joining the old
line again at Trego, Nevada, q
short distance this side Of Gcrlach.
This route would not only be IS
mile shorter than the old line, but
would elinins K ddie Chilli
coot and Spring Garden tunnels
the three longeit on the line.
All stations between Keddia and
Trego would be abandoned, and q
new terminal established, probably
at Amadee, California, 1876 miles
from Winnemucca. The new route
was probably conceived from the
turning of the Chilicoot tunnel a
few weeks ago. 1t is stated that the
stones on the inside of the tunnel
are still so hot that work is iDpos
sible, and that to rebuild the ,ory
would require the best part of a
years time. - Silver State

goods from a freight car as it wa:
moving along the edge of the

went into hiding near the stoler
property and waited for the mer

were placed under arrest anG

of shoes, cigars. dry goods and
groceries. For a quarter Of

FIGHTING EVERY INCH
TO PROTECT BARROW
Defense, Temporarily, at
Least, Stops LockWood's
Narrative.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 25.-Fighting
every inch OF the day the defense in the
case of Clarence S. Darrow, accused of
bribing juror in the Mcnamara case,
stopped temporarily, at least. at today s
brief session. the narration by George
NJ Lockwood of the attempted bribery
of himself by Bert E. Franklin.
Lockwood testified he called upon
Franklin, November Q, at the latter {
office, at which time he said Franklin
told him he would like to see him on
the Mcnamara jury and told him tnat
there would be 81 600 in 1t for him.
that the offer was complete surprise
and that he wanted time for considera-
ton.
Objects to Testimony.
The defense asked that the testimony
be stricken out on the ground that OAR
row was not present at this conversation
and could not be held for Franklin's acts
Lockwood said he had forgotten some OF
the conversation with Franklin, but that
Franklin had said he already had one
juror who was fixed" and that Loo &
wood knew the juror.
The defense again objected and Judge
Hutton asked both sides to present their
authorities and declared an adjournment
until Monday afternoon.
The ruling of Judge Hutton Will de-
termine whether evidence of alleged
wholesale jury corruption in the McNa-
mara case shall be admitted as part Of
the states case against Darrow.
Opposes Every Step.
The defense had already opposed every
step taken by the prosecution to prove
by Court Clerk George c. Monroe the
tendency of the Mcnamara case and the
legality of Lockwoods status as a pros
pective juror when the alleged bribery
was attempted. When Monroe resumed
the stand today he was cross-examined
concerning the drawing of Lockwood as
talesman and the status of the many
cases of alleged dynamiting not yet tried.
Through the barrow defense the in
dictments against Ortie Mechanical, the
lnformer in the MsNamara case, We're
read into the records of the trial ap-
parently to have it appear that McMani-
gal had been granted immunity.
Lockwoods summons to the witness
stand came a half hour before adjourn
ment.
His story SO far as it had progressed
when the final interruption came was
substantially the same as that told at
the preliminary examination of Bert IL.
Franklin in justice court last February.
Mr.. Darrow has taken no part in the
proceedings since the completion of the
jury. Throughout the day the defend
ant sat low in his chair, tearing strips
Of paper into narrow bits.
