STEVE BARKER
CASE PRESENTS
NEW SENSATION
Defendant Admits He GambIed;
Says Police Tried to Fix"
Him; is ex-Convict.

The case of Steve Barker, charged
with the theft OF s216 from the
rooms OF slim" Gould furnished a
number of sensations in district court
today, where the case has been on
trial all day. Barker was arrested
last December In Clifton. shortly af-
ter the robbery OF the Gould place
and has been in jail ever since.
The jury was secured at the OPEN
ing of court this morning, Vim. Weis-
er and r. II. Walker prosecuting. and
Silmon Smith defending the prison
ef on appointment OF the court. Mr..
Barker was put on the stand in his
own defense this morning and denied
flat-footedly that he had stolen the
money. He declared that he had not
lied from the city. but was on his
way to Palisade to meet lady"
and the conductor put him off at
Clifton by mistake
II developed on cross-examination
that Barker had served a term in
prison for grand larceny in Salt
Lake, and he did not deny the charge
OF the district attorney. Barker de-
veloped an astonishing familiarity
with bootlegging joints and gambling
places in the city of Grand Junction.
He declared that Assistant Chief
Hermann had planted the roll
which was found in Clifton, and that
the police were trying to Elk" him
because he knew too much. The case
will probably go to the jury late this
afternoon.
