dict, and tlten the charg, benny
dropped to assault, and a fine ! orc'
dollar having been paid for MIN,
"Horsefly" Williams is now .fea
man.
Bug he mas learned his lesson
Serving u.rrc than two months in
Clark county jail with first de
gree murder trial hanging over one
is not the most pleasant occupation
in the world, and Horsefly has saII
never again.
He was released Tuesday aftey-
noon and yesterday was receiving
the congratulations Of his friends
on his freedom.
Horsefly planned to leave yester-
day or today for Long Beach, bu-
will return to Las Vegas, accordin,
to his statement.
The statement Of the young man
that he never would touch another
gun was made to Attorney Lewis
Cohen, who, with T, A. Wells, de-
Tended him.
The charge of assault was prefer
red against Williams in Justice
court Tuesday. he plead guilty and
Judge Roger Foley fined him one
dollar on this count, the case hav
ing been presented without argu-
ment.
Upon recommendation of Prosa-
cutor Harley A. Harmon, Judge VIM.
E. Orr ordered the prisoner releaa-
ed.
In a formal statemen, issued 10
the press, Harmon explained his ac-
ton in the matter as follows:
My answer to your question rs
TO why l dismissed the information
against T. c. Williams. is as fol-
lows:
AT the tO"mer trial Of this cast
l presented all the available ev.-
dence in IS complete and forcib!2
manner as was possible, considering
the evidence at hand.
The jury disagreed, seven for
acquittal and five for conviction
for voluntary manSlaughter.
Believing that this matter should
again come before the court aHd
jury in order that final de-ermina-
ton might be had the case was
again set for trial. During the pre-
paration Of the states case Tor thlS
second trial, ! discovered that some
of the important evidence which
had been presented to the former
jury was not now available as well
as the evidence of an eye witness
whom 1 could never locate.
Under such conditions it was inl-
possible to expect a conviction 0n
even less evidence than that pre-
sented at the former trial BENG
convinced that q conviction was I'M"
possible. l felt that I was noJ JusLl-
fled in putting the county TO the
additional expense of another trial,
although I believe that Williams
should be punished for the killing
Of j, o. Whitman
Because of that belief I file
a charge OF assault against WI
liamS in the Justices court, to which
he plead guilty. This offense car
ries with it a maXimum penalty ol
five hundred dollars (S5000o) flns
or six 60 months Imprisonment.
This charge was presented il
the court without argument and th=
Justice of ,h2 Peace fined Williams
the sum of one dollar CSl00l.

"A gigantic struggle between two
great railroad systems for suprem-
acy in the far west neared an en:l
today.
The Southern Pacific, opposing an
application Of the Great Northern
and Western Pacific for permission
to build a 200-mile connecting line,
rested it's case at noon.
Previous TO the close Of the South
ern Pacinc's testimony before an
Interstate Commerce Commission
hearing, the Great Northern and

of their testimony in favor OF the
proposed construction.

Great Northern attorneys cOncen-

down the testimony of Southern Pa
cific experts in an Interstate Com :
merce Commission hearing on ao-
plication of the Gre& Northern
and Western Pacific for authority
to build a mile connecting lln2
from Klamath Falls Ore, to Ked-
die, Calf
H. c. Hallmark. traffic expert for
the Southern Pacific, and Clarence
E. Day. an engineer for the same
railroad, were on the stand TO;
cross examination during the ell
tire morning session.
Hallmark testified yesterday that
TRANSPORTATION costs from the Pacltl 2
coast to the east were less owe:
existing lines than similar costs
would be over the proposed $4,000
900 line.
The contribution of Day to the
record was in the form of presenta =
ton of elaborate charts tending TO
show that Great Northern and
Western Pacific estimates for op-
Grating costs on the proposed line
were too low.
The figures and charts introduced
bv both Hallmark and Day were
analyzed in minute detail today
during a long and tiresome cross
examination session.
Day admitted under cross-eXam-
ination that an engineers theory
was the basis for most OF his eStl-
mates and that his figures did not
result from ectual investigation Of
operating conditions in the region
to be traversed.
