A STRANGE CASE
Down at Caldwell recently a youn

Down at Caldwell recently a young
Nefnan was brutality assaulted by a
young hiah, and he was driven away
by the barking of a dog. A short
time afterward a man vas arrested,
charged with the o~ffense, and the
girl identified him by his voice and
by his looks as the mar who commit
ted the deed. She was positive as
to his identity, but a dozen people
came into court and accounted for
his presence at other places at the
very time the assault was committed.
In the southern states where many
such crimes are comAnitted, and
chiefly by negroes, it is ~proverbial
that the first man to be brought be-
fore the victim for Identification is
branded as the guilty man.
In many instances the matter has
been tested out by holding the known
culprit out of sight and bringing
some known innocent man before the
victim and asking If he is the one
and almost invariably the woman de-
clares that one to be the man. This
puts thoughtful people to thinking
and to sticking to the rule of being
absolutely sure before punishment IL
inflicted, for many innocent persons
have been mobed at such times.

1900 TOURISTS IN. ONE WEEK
(Pocatello Tribune)

NPOCatellO
Eighteen hundred tourists passed
through the western gateway to Vel
lowstone National park, during the
week ending last Saturday, according
to figures compiled by the chief dis
patcher of the Montana division of
the Short 1.-The. This breaks all rec
ords. In spite of the heavy travel,
the stage companies operating in the
park handled the crowd in good
shape. This big travel to Wonder
land was due to the various national
convntins held in the west, includ-
ing the C. E. convention at Los An
geles, the N. E. A. convention at Salt
Lake and the funniest at Denver.
Tonight, a special train of II cars.
carrying members of a Hutchinson

cial train carrying the F. ]. Ready

Last night a special train for the

ing of seven Gers, passed out.

INTEREST in BOISE
Attorney Cavanah Issues Statement
on Long Pending Case

News of the pardon by President
Wilson of William F. Kettenbach and
George M. Kester, which was wired
to many interested persons on Mon
day, aroused deep interest because Of
the desperate efforts made to convict
the men. In the original trials of
these men in the federal court they
were represented by George w. Tan
nehill of Lewiston and c. c. Cavanah
of this city. In the appellate court
and in the preparation of the cas- to
be presented to Pesident Wilson, the
attorneys named were Joined by
James e. Babb of Lewiston.
Since the conclusion OF the trials
Mr.. Kester, it is understood, has tax
en- up his residence in Spokane. Mr..
Kettenbach is still a resident of Lew
iston and has extensive interests
there and in that section of Idaho.
In response to a request from a
representative of the Statesman, C. G.
Cavanah made the following compre-
hensive statement of the case against
M~essers. Kettenbach and Kester, a
statement that will be read with keen
interest in view of the pardon just
granted:
Cavanah's Statement
THE granting of a pardon by the
president to William F. Kettenbach
and George H. Hester was a just act
and fully warranted by the evidence
taken at their trial and by subse-
quent facts brougt to light. I am ia

has developed since their trial, and

JlOlIdt uduhL16 laws
"They were tried at the same time
upon "a counts, Is of which related
to abstraction of funds and falsif1ed
records of the bank, and six to max
ing of false reports to the comptroller
of the currency. The jury acquitted
them on all of the 18 counts relating
to abstraction and classifying the rec
ords of the banks as we'll as on one
count of making e false report to the
comptroller, but was against them on
the remaining Ave counts relating to
the reports.
They we're exonerated by the jury
of all charges relating to the taking
or using of any of the funds Of the
bank or Of falsifying any Of the rec
ords Of the bank. Their conviction
upon the counts concerning the re-
ports was purely a technical one, as
under the evidence the only questions
presented we're as to whether or not
they had uesd correct judgement in
classifying certain paper and matters
in the reports.
No One Lost Money
These we're matters about which
honest men might differ as to how
the classification should have been
made. 1t was never established that
by reason of the classification made
by them in the reports the bank or
anyone connected Herewith ever lost
a dollar, and it was conceded at all Of
these trials that the governments
star witness. Clarence e, Robnett,
who pleaded guilty and received a
sentence Of 10 years and was imme-
diately pardoned, was the one who
stole something W. 100000 from
the bank, and neither Kettenbach nor
Kester had anything to do with his
theft, only that the Kettenbachs, as
large stockholders in the bank,
promptly came forward and made
good a large portion of the amount
taken by Robnctt, so that the depos-
itors and creditors would not suffer a
loss.
IA large number of the prominent
men of our state and throughout the
northwest, as well as II members Of
the jury, strongly recommended their
pardon. The reason that n of the
juryman did no tjoin in the recon-
mendation wcs on account of his
whereabouts being unknown. II
