Elem's $ Preliminary.

james Elem WAS brought up from
the county Jail at Glasgow last Satur-
day for his preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Brock way. He is charged
with shooting up the farmhouse of
G l.. Smith out southeast of town.
His partner, Elmer Warner, we un-
delstand, has pjppd the whole thing
off, waived examination, and will be
! held to the district court. The trial
/ was u long -drawn-out affair and ev-
erythng went to show that Elem has
been trying hard for some time to
break into the ranks of the real bad
men. From the evidence introduced
at the hearing it showed that Elem
had planned to get Smith for some
time and the only apparent reason
he did not was on account OF poor
marksnanship, Ns he Shot at him
several times, and in some instances
at very close range, The old-tlmers
4 for years are searching their memory
to find one good trait in him, or one
good act he ever did.
There seemed to be.a general scare
thrown into "a number of the witness
es at the hearing, and they showed an
unwilingness to testify and tell the
truth as in putting i'm good work try
ing to cover up something. Whether
the defendant has anything OIL them
or not is not known. In the future
in Justice Brockway's court there is
most likely to be something doing
when a witness takes this view and
gets funny with the court. One feI-
| low by the name of CalkinS who had
IL very short memory WAS assessed
$500. and Ed Fowler, whose memory
was also failing was given a reminder
Of $50. 90 and five days in the county
Jail at Glasgow. There has been u
time here when a witness would per-
lure himself and think nothing about
it, and it would 90 all right, but that
time has passed, and when u man
goes III TO lllStlce court or amy OtneT
place the best thing he can do is to
stick close to the truth.
/ In most cases All attorney for either
side would rather have a straight
story from the witness than for them
to try and cover something up AS it
will all come out sooner or later.
This is exactly What happened in this
trial. The states attorney had the
whole thing from Warner, and then
for II Witness or two to make horse
play out of II court room and a fool
ont Of the attorneys will not work IN
Malta.
Elem WAS bound over to the district
court under 81, 800 bonds, which he
was unable to furnish, and must wait
i'm Jail until the next term of court
when most likely he will get IL dose
that will take the bad man idea out
OF his head, and i'm the meantim
these unwilling witnesses will ikel,
learn things that will be to their ben
elit in the future.
