District Court convened In Cunni-
son at $50 Tussday morning. with
Judge Straud n. Logan on Tie bench.
Judge Logan, with this term, eaters
upon his duties a. the additional
judge Of the Seventh District provided
by the last Legislature. He needs no
introduction TO the people Of the
Western Slope. having for years prac-
ticed law at Grand Junction, and ID
highly qaalihed for the judeeship from
a technical standpoint, as well o. his
knowledge Of Western Slope condi-
tons.
District Attorney Lee Burgess &C.
companied Judge Logan to Gunnison
and is conducting the case ow on
trial. The docket is very light this
term, the main case being the trial
Of the Montana Tunnel murder case
from Telluride, which heads the doc
ket. About three minor civil cases
from this vicinity complete the doc
ket. The VanTuyl bootlegging case
will also come up in this session.
Selection Of jury for the Telluride
case began Tuesday morning and was
completed about eleven o'clock Wed
nesday morning. Every man in the
venire was used. The last man lucsi-
~ completed the panel. :
A change Of venue from San Miguel
to Gunnis0n county had been obtained
because of the shortage Of competent
jurymen in San Miguel. Altho prac-
tically nothing is known of the case
in Gunnison, counsel for the accused
made a number of challenges on ac-
count of war prejudices. The accused
and a number Of the witnesses are
Austrians, and number Of the jurors
examined expressed strong preju-
dice against the Central Europeans on
account of the war. The jury selected
seems to be eminently satisfactory to
both sides Of the case. The jury is
composed Of E. T.. Gladstone, w. w.
Mckee, Ralph Allen, George McAffec,
Hurley, A. p. Roper, Frank Collard,
B. T. McDonough, Roy Knowles and
c. F. Spencer. Seven are ranchmen,
four, business men and one q school
teacher. William Waugh was sworn
in as bai.iff.
District Attorney Burgess opened
for the prosecution Wednesday morn
ing, stating the nature Of the case
and what he expected to prove. In
brief, the case is as follows:
On the evening of September 10,
1919, four men, Eric Smith, Gus Dam
ielson, Fred Sund and Celiste Mat
tive, were found shot to death at
various points near the mouth Of
the Montana Tunnel, one of the Tom
boy Gold Mines Company's proper
ties near Telluride. John Giacomozzi
and Augusta Morletti, two Tyroleans
in the employ Of the Tomboy COM
pany, were tried and convicted of the
murder, and sentenced to life inn
prisonment at the penitentiary. Later
caused charges to be
brought against John Kochevar, an
