was granted, and then announced
that the defense would call witnesses
to prove an alibi.
The defense argued that while the
crime might have taken place at any
time within the hours or 7:30 p. m.
on July 30 to noon of July 31, the
presumption was that It took place
within the. night time, or within the
hours from 7:30 p. m. to 6 a. m. It
was even more probable that the
crime had taken place between6:30
and 9:30, while the Isaacsons were
away from home. Witnesses testi
fied as to Urban Zediker's where
abouts on the night of the crime, and
he was accounted for until midnight.
W. G. Zediker, father of the cr
cused. testified that he is employed
In the Everett Cook pool hall.
Urban's mail comes to his box, and
there Is but one key. and that in the
father's possession. On the evening!
of July 30. Urban, who was accust-'
omed to stop for his mall, did stop.
$Ir. Zediker fixed the day because it
was Friday, the publication of The
Herald, and he mentioned the fact
that Urban was anxious to get his
copy of The Herald. A man unknown
to him had Just asked him to play a
game of pool, but he was busy, and
Urban nlaved with htm tm
about 6 o'.clock. Urban played for'
at least naif an hour and then show
ed his opponent some fancy shots.
S. R. Burkholder corroborated this
testimony. '
Wayne Zediker and John Shay tes
tified that they had seen Urban
Zediker on the evening of July 30 at
7 p. -ru. on the Alliance National bank
corner. There la a clock Just across
the street from this corner. A band
was playing and Wayne Zediker
mentioned the fact that he had seen
Judge Tash ln tho crowd. Urban
stayed with them until 7:80.
Ear! Anderson next testified that
about 7:30 that evening, he had
played pool with Zediker at Joe
Smith's billiard parlor. He estimat
ed that they were there an hour and
ten minutes by the charge. He lost
the .game and was compelled to pay
for the tables, the cost being 70
cents. As the charge Is 60 cents per
hour, he figured that they played an
hour and ten minutes. .
Joe Smith corroborated this testi
mony in part. He said that the
charge was correct. As to Zediker's
presence on the evening of July 30,
he could not flay. Zediker was a fre
quent visitor at his pool hall, coming
there practically every night he was
In the city, but he could not say
whether he had been In there on the
evening of July 30, or how long he
had stayed.
Anderson then testlflled that he
and Urban Zediker had gone to the
room of Tom Gray at 111 Cheyenne.
Anderson itayed until 9 o'clock.
There were only the three of them
there and the witness did not say
what they were doing.
Tom Gray testified that Zediker
had remained In his room until about
midnight.
The defense argued that In the
flrrt place, Zediker had an alibi dur
ing the probable hours when the
crime was committed, and second,
that he was no fool, and that if he
had stolen the stickpin., he wouldn't
be chump enough to dispose of It
seml-publlcly no nhoit a t;,n. hi e.
It was stolen. The prosecution
pointed out that Zediker did not take
the stand and the defense offered po
testimony or proof as to wtere. of
whom, at what time or under what
circumstances the diamond tie pin
came Into his possession.
The court round, first, that the
crime of burglary and grand larceny
was committed, as charged la toe
complaint, and second, that there
Were sufficient grounds and'probable
cause for believing the defendant,
Urban R. Zediker, guilty of the
crime as charged In the complaint
and information.

party, and'that if the unnamed party
didn't redeem it within four or five
days from Gray, Zediker would do so.
Gray's testimony was corroborated
by Earl Anderson, who testified that
Zediker had been to see him on the
same proposition. He had tried to
secure a loan from Anderson of $75
oh the pin shortly before pawning It
with Gray. Mr. Anderson said that
he was no Judge of diamonds and
didn't care to take a chance on it.
This completed the case for the
state, and Attorney Eugene Burton
Immediately moved that the defend
ant be discharged for the reason that
the state had not produced sufficient
evidence to connect the defendant
with the crime charged. Mr. Burton
made a strong plea, but was over
