The Idaho Republican., 1914-10-02

II. p. Larson testified that on the
31st of August he bought two horses,
of the same description named by
Dixey and Diggie, of the two persons
now in court as defendants, but that
they gave him bill of sale on which
they signed the name Hillebrand,
said they were from near Blackfoot
and were going to Montello, Nevada.
He said they arrived there on Friday
August 2Sth, and he paid them $45
for the horses.
The, parties were afterwards ar
rested a. Montello, Nevada, and
brought to Blackfoot, arriving here
on the 4th of September.
When the prosecution rested it's
case, Mr.. Beakley moved for the
dismissal of the defendants, saying
it had not been shown that they stole
any horses; that if they had sold
horses as shown, that w&s another
matter and might be, Death with
under the statute provided for SELL
ing what belonged to another if that
was what had happened True, it
had been shown that Sheriff Jones
had met these people both before
and after the disappearance of the
horses, but nobody seemed to know
who drove or rode them away. He
also referred to the complaint and
said it charged the stealing of the
horses on the 21st of September, and
as both defendants had been con-
fined in the Jail here since the 18th
of September, the stealing of horses
out on the reservation must have
been done by somebody else.
At that instant Judge Jensen look
ed sharply at the date on the COM
plant; Attorney Good sat up quickly
and said, "A clerical error, and we
ask permission to correct it." Mr..
Schultz twisted in his seat and mum
bled, "By George that's bad go!"
Judge Jensen said he would permit
the correction of the date to read
August 21st William Springsteel
grinned and whispered to those about
him, "They won't get off so easy as
they think" Mr.. Beakley and his
clients held a short conference to see
if they would put on any evidence
and they did not. The court bound
them over for trial in the district
court and an adjournment was taken
until Tuesday.
During the periods of delay in the
afternoon there was some talk in
the corridor, and some speculation
as to whether these two people aided
in the Jail delivery of August 25th.
said that the Mecham who
was in jail before that and made
his escape, had been back for visit
at Blackfoot since that time and had
claimed to have sawed the bars off
with ribbon saw made by nicking
the edges of his watch spring, and
that he had worked at it for some
two weeks at odd times. How he
got through the two iron doors was
not in the rumor, but it was also
stated that a hole in the stone wall
was discovered at about the same
time, and that Miss Jessie Lloyd was
the one who started the theory that
there was something doing among the
prisoners.
When Miss Lloyd was Interviewed
she said that she was working in
the office a number of evenings in
the latter part of August and that
she noticed a clicking under the floor.
When she got up and walked around,
the clicking ceased for a while. On
the second evening when she heard
it she remained quiet and got it To-
Gated at the north wall under the
office window. Sheriff Jones was in
his office that evening and she tip
toed to him and told him her sus-
picions. He returned with her and
listened for while and then went
below. The next night the prisoners
escaped, but by the door on the east.
The following day while they we're
repairing the prison door 1t was said
that somebody looking around notice
a queer place in the north wall under
the window of the clerks office. and
on investigation pulled out stopper
of rags.
