The first case on the calendar to
come up for trial Monday morning
was that of the State vs.. Phillip
Copp, charged with the same stat
utatory offense as his brother Peter
Miller, who was acquitted of the
charge earlier in this term of court.
After some time jury was secured
consisting of Hans G. Baeth, Geo.
Heiser, G. E. Hayden, Smith Van
derport. c S. Hoverson, Joseph Tru-
NELL, w. J. F. Lusch, John Peterson,
B. F. Brown and Victor Nordlund.
In this case nearly all of the
states witnesses were Creations or
Slovonians and the same parties as
In the Miller case. except that Judge
Shoemaker of Zortman, was an
additional witness. The state en-
deavored to prove a strong case
against this man but failed in al
most every respect and the defense
let the matter rest after the state
had finished and shortly after the
case went to the jury they returned
a verdict of mot guilty." In both
of these cases the state was greatly
handicapped by having to use an
Interpreter, as most of the witnesses
seemed to have fair knowledge of
the English language in spite of
their efforts to prove to the con-
trary, so they had double the time
to consider the question before CIV
ing the evidence. The complaining
witness in both cases was girl by
the name of Julia Petruska, who
is at present being cared for by the
state in the Florence Crittenden
home at Helena. She was present
at the trial accompanied by one of
the matrons of the home. After the
disposal of the above cases the time
of the court Tuesday evening was
taken up in listening to arguments
put forth by Attorneys Tom Dignan
and G. H. Stevens in an endeavor to
have the present jury panel dis.
charged along the same grounds ad-
vanced by Attorney Stevens when
the presiding Judge in July dis
missed the court. Judge Thompson
looked at the matter in a different
light, however, and the trial of the
alleged cattle rustling cases are
proceeding as we go to press.
