PHELPS REFUSES MOTIONS
TO QUASH INDICTMENTS
ATTORNEY FOR ID. G. SMITH
ASKS FOR TWO DAYS TO
FILE DEMURRER.

Circuit Judge G. w. Smith this af-
ternoon refused to allow the motions
entered by Judge S. A. Lowell. at
torney for d. G. Smith, to set aside
the indictments for perjury and per-
hitting gambling returned by the
last grand jury, and Judge Lowell
immediately asked for couple OF
days in which to file demurrer. He
now wishes to raise the question
whether. under the constitutional
rights of the defendant, he could be
called as a witness against himself.
The motions alleged the indict-
ments were faulty for the reason that
a substitute was selected for one OF
the regularly drawn grand jurors and
for the additional reason that the
names of the jurors were not 1nciud-
ed among the witnesses in the per-
iury indictment. Judge Phelps ruled
that the drawing of the substitute
Juror was done according to law and
that the intent was the law regulat-
ing the drawing of indictments was
served. The list of witnesses, he held
was provided so that the defendant
could know who had been examined,
and inasmuch as the Indictment stat
ed that the defendant is alleged to
have testified falsely before the grand
Jury. it was not necessary to include
the names of the jurors as witnesses
Several other matters are being
argued before the court this after
noon. among them being the demur-
rer to the indictment against George
Stangier.

sibilities of accomplishing a big step
for the development of this section.
He has also taken the matter up with
prominent west end irrigationists and
finds that they are heartily in favor
of such a move. The west end peo-
pie desire to see irrigation upon the
reservation because the storage of
water near the foothills or the use
of flood waters on the upper river
will increase the summer flow OF the
river
1t is now the belief that the aues-
ton of working for Irrigation upon
the reservation can be handled In
such manner as to eliminate any OBJ
lection from local milling interests.
The present move Is being taken UP
on a basis of fully protecting the
mills and those friendly to the move
feel the mills will aid the plan ani
not oppose It.
