COLUMBIA GEORGE
DEFENSE To TRY
TO PROVE AL|B|
First lntentionsof Setting up Several
Alternative Theories are Evident
Iy Abandoned.

Evidently abandoning their inten-
tion of setting up several alternative
theories as TO the cause OF the death
OF T-mot, the defense of Columbia
George this morning commenced at
once upon an effort TO prove an alibi
and practically all of the witnesses
up until this afternoon have been ties,
tifying to that end.
The prosecution rested at noon yes.
terday and, upon the return of the
jury from the scene of the alleged
crime at o'clock, the defense asked
that the trial be adjourned until this
morning TO allow them time to pre-.
pare their case.
f. l. Power, local harness dealer,
was one of the first witnesses to take
the stand for the defense. His testi-
mony was to the effect that he had
seen Columbia George in his store be-
tween . and o'clock on the afternoon
of his murder. He also testified that
the accused Indian was not drunk al
the time.
Jennie Van Pelts testimony con-
flicted some with Powers. She told
of meeting George a short distance
out of Pendleton a little before 9
o'clock on the afternoon of Ti-mot's
death. She saw him again at 5, she
said, when he came up to where she
was picking peas at her place a short
distance above the Bitner ranch. He
remained there in the pea patch with
her and other Indians and rode with
them to the campmeeting at the old
agency later in the evening, she testi-
fled. In the cross examination, the
prosecution brought out that she did
not know where he was between .
and 5.
Leo sampson. Charles Van Pelt and
James Mckay all testified that they
were passing the Bitner ranch on the
afternoon of the murder somewhere
between and o'clock with several
ponies they We're bringing in for the
Elks' shipment to Portland. They
testified to seeing George at the Bit
ner ranch as they rode hurriedly past
and were under the impression that
he had turned his horses head toward
NhS mann iudu. One oil the Indians
testified to seeing another white
horse tied nearby and the prosecu-
tion sought to establish on cross-ex-
animation the the Indians really saw
Charles Switzler on the horse and
that Georges horse was stin tied
The Indians were at considerable
distance and were riding fast but all
stuck to their theory that it was
George they saw.
James Billy testified to seeing
George In Pendleton on the morning
of the murder.
VIII NJ. Peterson. local attorney took
the stand and denied the testimony OF
Andy Barnhart to the effect that he
(Peterson) had got him drunk at the
preliminary hearing.
Jennie Van Pelt was recalled this
afternoon to testify that Mrs. Peter
Corbett and Wa-te-wa-nee, the two
squaws who testified to the quarrel
which T-mot and Columbia George
had had during the morning of the
fatal Saturday, are sisters.

CONCORD. y. H, Nov. S.-Gover-
nor Felker today signed extradition
papers returning Harry X. Thaw to
New York at the request of Governor
Glynn.
The extradition is the result of
charge of conspiracy made against
Thaw in connection with his escape
from Matteawan, on which he was
indicted by New York county grand
jury.
The decision of Governor Felker
/. is said. does not mean that Thaw
will be returned Immediately to the
Matteawan asylum. 1t was said to-
day that Thaw's fight against the
conspiracy charge may last for years
Jerome was not present when the
governor gave his decision. II is a
foregone conclusion that Thaw could
not be taken to New York Immediate
ly because of. the fact that writ of
habeas corpus is now pending before
Judge Aldrich of the United States
circuit court, and 1t was said it may
be several years yet before a deci-
sion is reached in this matter as both
sides are determined to carry the
case to the supreme court of the
United States If necessary.
Judge Aldrich stated that he would
take up the habeas corpus proceed
ings within five days after receiving
notice that Thaw's attorneys desired
To renew the fight This notice will
probably be given this afternoon but
it is doubtful if a hearing will be held
within three weeks
When the case comes up, several
days will be required for the presen-
tation of evidence and arguments.
The decision will be followed by an
appeal no matter which side wins
The question of the bail for Thaw
will come up pending a final disposi-
tion of the case.

Twelfth and Walnut streets. had war
rants served upon them yesterday
afternoon, upon the charge of selling

acted under instructions from Assis-
tant City Solicitor John F. Lynn. Con-
viction on the charge carries a fine OF

them to. He later swallowed four OF
the tablets in an attempt to end his
life.
