had met the fires and spent almost a
month in fighting their way out of

They were many miles from a rail-

SENSATIONAL TURN
CHECKS FIGURE IN EVIDENCE IN
HIDE BOUNTY CASE SCANDAL
IN BLACK HILLS.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

DeadwOod.-A sensational episode
developed in the United States court
here in the trial of John and David
Fall. brothers, and auditor and depu-
" auditor respectively of Pennington
county, ans p. r.. K. Hewlett, hide
dealer OF Rapid City, charged with the
use Of the mails In furtherance Of a
conspiracy to defraud in connection
with the collection of wolf and coyote
bOunties from the state. Several
checks signed by Hewlett. which are
alleged to constitute material evil
dence in the case, had come into the
possession Of the government. Sever
al days ago they were turned over by
United States District Attorney Wag-
ner to Attorney Burton. for the de-
Tense. and a receipt given. the under
standing being that they were to be
returned after being examined by GER
tain parties. During the trial of the
case the district attorney requested
that the checks be returned to him
and was informed by Attorney Bur
ton that they had been given to the
defendant Hewlett and were in his
possession. A heated argument en-
sued, and the district attorney took
the witness stand to testify to the
facts attending the receipt OF
the checks by the defendants attorney.
Later the defense that
their client had the checks in his peck
ct and intended to keep them. Judge
]. ID. Elliott ruled that the court had
authority TO direct the return Of the
checks to the government.
The defense justif1es its action in
the promises on the ground that the
government had previously been gull
~ of a breach Of confidence in con-
nection with the case. They allege
that at the time in May when the in
dictments were found against the Fall
brothers. Hewlett had appeared before
the grand jury as a witness and had
been promised immunity from prose
cution. Later this promise was ig-
nOred and an Indictment returned
against him. The first indictment
against Hewlett was quashed by Judge
Elliott on the ground that he had been
indicted by the same grand jury before
which he had appeared as a witness. A
offense. was returned by a subsequent
grand Jury and the court allowed it to
stand.
