DISMISSED ON
TECHNICALITY
Judge Instructs Jury to Bring mot
Guilty" Verdict in Perjury Case
Against S. E. Henry
WILL ATTEMPT THIRD TRIAL
Trial Proving Expensive One to
Bonner County

standpoint, Idaho, December Is,
Especial to the HERALD For a
second time the suit instituted by
Henry Riser against S. +. Henry
has gone off in the district court
on technicality and on Wednes-
day afternoon Judge Dunn gave an
instructed verdict to the jury re-
sulting in a mistrial of the present
case. 1t does not, however, pre-
clude the filing of a new informa-
ton.
The point upon which a dis
missal was ordered arose over the
allegation in the information that
the oath was regularly given Mr..
Henry upon he occasion of the
trial of the Henry Gold Mining &
Milling Company against Henry
when it was alleged that state
ments were sworn to by Henry
which constituted perjury. Upon
examination by the state of R. ].
Crane, court reporter, it appeared
that the trial judge, Judge Flynn,
had administered the oath. The
attorneys for the defense argued
that the information erred in that
it specified that Robert S. McCrea
bad administered the oath when as
matter of fact he did not admin
lister it. An Oklahoma decision
was quoted to indicate that such
an error was sufficient to declare
the information insufficient and
Judge Dunn held in instructing
the jury as follows:
The jury is advised by the
court in this case to acquit the de-
PENDANT on the ground that there
is material variance between the
information and the proof as to
what person administered the oath
alleged to have been taken by
the defendant and it is advised to
return a verdict in this case of
not guilty by reason of variance
between information and proof.
The jury is further advised that it
is not bound by this advise. The
jury is instructed that valid YER
dict in this case cannot be rendered
except by the agreement of all the
jury"
The trial of the case started
Monday and the case of the state
was in when the motion to dismiss
was made without calling any wit
nesses for the defense.
+. E. Fry, Frank Zimmerman
and Henry Riser testified that
Henry told them that he intended
giving a deed of the Boston, Chi
cago and Minneapolis IN in n z
claims, near Hope, to the Henry
Gold Mining and Milling com
{ pany and that he had exhibited to
them a deed to that effect. When
Henry went on the stand in the
trial of the civil case of the Henry
Mining company against Henry he
denied that he had made such a
deed or had made such an arrange
ment. twas upon this testimony
that Riser based his complaint OF
the perjury charge. The case has

w. r. Young Gets Drunk and
Loses a Roll.

William R. Young came to police
headquarters today, asking the depart
ment to help him recover 500 in cash
and about $50 in checks which he says
he lost in some mysterious way Sat
urday night. Young admits that he was
intoxicated, and says he can remem-
Der nothing from early Saturday even
ing until yesterday morning when he
found himself on Newman's Hill,
minus his money and with a badly
bruised face.
The last thing Young remembers
was that he attended the band con-
cert given by the North Side mer-
chants Saturday evening. After that
all is blank. He says he does not
remember who he was with, whether
he was alone, or where he went.
He does know that his money dis
appeared and that he recovered on
Newman's Hill. He says he may have
lost the money or he may have been
robbed. The bruises on his face, he
thinks, may be due to fall, or blow
Chief Gormon says that nothing in
addition to Young's version has been
learned, that his absolute ignorance OF
his Whereabouts and actions make 1t
hard to investigate the case.

ITO LESSEN DANGER
OF FOURTH OF JULY
Fire Chief Miller Receives
Suggestions from State
Officials.

b An order to the fire chiefs of the
Entate to take steps to lessen the dan
kger from fireworks on July has been
ISSUED by State Fire Marshal w. E.
Longley. Fire Chief Miller received a
list of suggestions which are as fol
lows:
IF in your community, there are To-
cal fireworks ordinances prohibiting
or regulating the sale and use of fire
works, obtain the cooperation of the
proper authorities in seeing that these
ordinances are strictly enforced.
1.-The common fire cracker is believ-
ed to be the cause of most of the
Fourth of July fires. Fire balloons,
roman candles and sky-rockets may
cause great damage If not properly
handled.
Urge caution in the use of these
menaces to public safety and as fur
Their measure, urge the citizens to
clear all yards and premises of rub
Dish, to close cellar doors and win
dows, to shut tightly all barns and
sheds and to wet down any area
where there is any danger from fall
ing sparks"

Saturday night and sunday morning
to discuss the draft of contract for
natural gas which was prepared by
City Attorney William A. Bond.
Last Saturday 8. e. Swayne, presi-
dent of the Commercial club, received
a long distance telephone message
from Mr.. Krick at Columbus saying
that the representatives of his COM
pany had been unable to get together
to discuss the question of a contract
in Richmond but would do so within
the next few days and would report
to the city just what sections were OBJ
jectionable and those satisfactory to
the company.
Meeting Tuesday.
Unless word is received here to the
contrary, the representatives of the
company will come to Richmond to-
morrow and meet with the public
service corporation committee of the
Commercial club and board of works
to discuss final action in regard to the
granting of natural gas franchise.
II the company and the city can
agree on the terms of the contract,
the next step would be to go before

there is a need of second gas COM

81 Permit Another Concern.
City Attorney Bond and the mem
beers Of the committee do not believe
that there will be any difficulty in
u showing that the citizens OF Richmond
4 are paying an exhorbitant price for
gas.
II have expressed themselves informally
that they thought the commission
u would permit the city to grant fran
& chise to another company
Another phase of the question is
that the long delay in the negotiations
with the Allegheny Gas company
would indicate that the two compan
les have gotten together and have
agreed on a contract to supply the
city with natural gas through the old
mains of the L., H. & P. company.
Manager J. B. Wharton of the 10
cal company stated again today that
he had no further information regard
ing the negotiations with the Other
{ company, but he expected to heal
