Defendant Says He Fired When Har
rison Kelley Threatened Him
With Knife, Christmas
Eve.
OCCURRED ON TRACKS
Attack Occurred at the Foot of the
Hill He says-Jury Will
View the Neigh
borhood.

/, William Baynard. the defendant in
the case now on. trial in the district
court, was on the stand yesterday af-
ternoon and part of today Baynard,
under the skillful questioning of his
lawyer, told clear story, of the
events Of Christmas eve. His demean.
or in the witness chair created IA
vorable impression with both jurors
and spectators, and the young defend
ant was accorded earnest attention.
/ According to Baynard's story, the
shooting occurred on the North Road
tracks, not on the hillside, and that he
fired only to protect himself from
Kelley, who was approaching him
with knife, he said. Baynard told
of their conversation at the bridge
when Kelley is alleged to have said
that he was going down to the restau
rant to play cards, and wanted Bay
nard to accompany him.
Baynard said that. Kelley said he
could win some of those boys money
down there, because he could chea1
them and still look innocent. Baynare
suggested that Kelley might get il
bad, and that perhaps some of The
others wouldn't stand for this kind o
treatment Baynard said this started
Kelley off on trade against him. IL
order to get away from Kelley, Bay
nard said he left the bridge and start
ed down the path to take short Gu
home. He said Kelley followed hin
cursing and threatening to whip him
At the foot of the hill on til,
tracks, Baynard said he turned arount
A and saw Kelley pull knife and star
towards him. 1t was then that HI
shot, when Kelley said he was goinI
to get him. At each time he pulle
the trigger, Baynard said he did sc
because he felt his life was being en-
fdangered by Kelley, who was comin
\ towards him.

B0RAH Says TITLE
TO CANAL IS CLEAR.
Disputes Senator Root That United
States Holds Property .
Conditionally.
Idahoan Dep1ores Search Abroad for
Technicalities to Be Used Against
Our Own People"

Senator Borah of Idaho yesterday
afternoon made a vigorous argument
In the Senate in opposition to the
Panama canal tolls repeal bill He in
sisted that the title of the United
states to sovereignty over the Panama
Canal Zone is clear. and that it could
not be called Conditional upon terms
OF the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as ar
gued by Senator Root OF New York
and other supporters of the repeal
measure.
Senator Borah declared that the case
made out for repeal by Senator Root
was based on the idea that the United
States holds conditional title to the
Panama canal. and that if it violates
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty it impairs
IT'S title He denied that there We're any
conditions in the grant from Panama
other than that the territory should be
used for canal
When We paid s1O,0O0.OOO to Pan
anna. said Senator Borah, title for the
Canal Zone became as absolute in the
United States as title to Alaska or the
District Of Columbia as long as we
use 1t for canal
Search for Technicalities.
why" he said. els it that every
technicality is being brought into use
against the United States? 1t is enough
to concede what the plain terms of
the treaty demand without going
abroad to search for technicalities for
interests of our own people. The Car
negie Peace Foundation may promote
such doctrine, but it is contrary to
American principles. and 7 want to say
that it will be answered in tribunal
from which there is no appeal"
In conclusion Senator Borah said that
the United States had been represented
unJustly in the Senate and elsewhere
as not observing it's treaties as a sort
of dishonest merchant who did not live
up to his contracts.
1T wish the senators who have been
saying this would rise now and give
an instance of treaty violation by the
United States"

by Great Britain and accepting as
binding on it obsolete treaties abro-
gated by violations by Great Britain"
To the amusement of the rest of the
Senate. Senator Borah and Senator
Norris of Nebraska then entered into

tor Norris was to vote against the
