been a Pourco of great Inconvenience lo
Ihu do/en families living within the en-

Complaints of thu "itualion have iceunt-
ly i cached Mr Alini.i.v's eats and Tiles-
dny his agent wcijt to the pienilsc. : ) lo in-
M'ntig.ito. 'Ihe Well ajipe.it i il to be in
good condition and he went into the hou-o
of a white woman , Auniu ICetthler to a k
iuformnlion upon thu well tioublu. In
Ihu Kelehler huu eMM IlattieT.ii ru col-
oied neighbor , was visiting lioth llioo
'women bind that ihu wull vvas in n nasty
condition and Ihuy would not drink iioin
il. The ngeJit at uuee proposed to clean
it out , when the colored woman exclaimed -
ed with no little excitement : "I
wouldn't touch thu. water fiom that well
for 11113 thing on earth , even it
you cleaueii it out a hunched times. 1
saw a woman throw a living baby down
lltat well not Ion" ago. 1 know her , too ,
and could give her name. " This lust ,
however , "hu lefu-ed to do , and when thu
reporter called upon her yestuiday ,
.she hcumed lo take tiight and tli mud lliat
yhu had ever iiiade ueh ti declaration to
thu ngunt. "i did say that a woman oneu
lold mo that she had seen : i live b iby
thrown down ( he vvell , but ! did not know
the woman who loht 1119 and have never
soun her again. "
Another colored woman , named Li//io
limns , albo a Mm lay tenant , was with
Miss Tair , ami slut "aid that it was popu-
huly believed that thu bottom of the well
was lilted with birth strangled babes. .She
had also he.ml of paitieular cases where
in a woman had been neen to dispo-u of
nn infant by dioppmg it into thu well , but
him knuw noumuc.s.
A tour of llio'tenants about the lof
found them nlf , ] ) n ie * ed of the behu
that the well vviii asepnlehru for children ,

tiial of the Denver men charged wilh
land frauds Tin re were four of them
on innl Ytimlt , Hirsh , It.yan nnd Moore.
The taking of lo'-limony occupied all of
the morning hour"
1'red Hollmnn was the first witness
called He vvas one of thu men
imploud to enter the fraudulent
ela.ms , and tt tliid that on his Hist Inp
he was accompanied b\ Moore mid Vtinilt.
'Ihi-v w < nt lo MtCook , wheio Yuiiill gave
him' slips of paper on which were wull MI
Ihe liu.tiotis names under which the
hind was Inken up. Witness
lecehed ? 5 for his. part of thu
tran ael'on On his second trip
lie went to North Pintle , being iiecom
idini d bv John I'lildlci and both look up
laud. Witness had never seen or icsided
on the hind o Inken up In l SI he took
another trip on the . .nun business Dot-
man Huisl and Itvan going wilh him. On
that trip they pa d out over * ! ! CO.
The witness ( iiimes was reealled , nnd
ptodiieed certain leeords in evidence
Nil Cobuin was also wotn , but his evi-
di neeprodiirpilnolldtig new Com I then
ndionincd for dinner.
During thu nioiniug. Attorney J. L.
Web-ler announced thai one ol the wit-
nes-es had been intimidated and threat-
em d bv , the jnoicculing ollieers Mr.
Weblpr referred lo Ilotlmnn. In icply ,
Assistant D'sti ' it t Atloine.v Hmllelt u a
that he told Hollm in that he had been in
dicted b.v the grand jury and that ho
would consider nun under airest. Hut if
he choie to testll > forthegovernmunt , Ihe
| ) io-eeulion would use Us own judgment
about puxcpiiting him Hn wa given to
understand , however , that he could do as
he pleaded about testifying.
At the afternoon tile argument was com
menced and continued mud 5.X ! ) o'clock.
Assistant District Attoinoy Hirtlelt
o | eiied for ihu pro'-ectition , and was lol-
lowed by Judge Hull , Attorney WoodiulF
and lion J L.Vebsli r for thu defense.
In his addies Jtidgo Hull took occasion
to scot e , in n lernblc ninitur , thn wit-
ncss Kolton and Special Agent Hiuee ,
who worked up Ihu case. Mr Webster's
aildiessvvas nio t masterly , and nnule a
strong linpie-'sion on all present. J > is-
irict Attoi ney L-uubei t.son ehned the ar
gument in an address of unusual
stienutli.
Judge Dundy then began his charge lo
thu | iiry. it was moat foiciblu and
awakened considerable enthusiasm on
Ilie j ) n t rt the prisoueirt nnd their coun
sel. In siibsl.ineo Judge Dundy charged
Geiitltmeu of Ihe imy , it is impossible
thu nntuie of things for you to IMS
judgment upon this enso without caie-
fully weighing the evidence introduced.
You nre possibly all fnnnl ar Wilhtho
f ets. Y'ou weic most of tvou picsunt at
a ptcvious liial , very similar lo ibis , in
whieh verv much the . ame questions
weru involved. You saw then , evidence
from the same elass ot witnesses.
You have luul a chance dining
these tnals lo tindcisl.ind human
natiirn and become acquainted with
tlie pei tidy of man. It has been a
doploiable state of allaiis. Tlio amount
of tieaehery. pcrjuiy and purlidy
biought to ligjit in Ihcsc cases has ex
ceeded anything ever witnessed by th s
eouit. Somu of the witnesses have ad-
milled that in j > x instances , in this eouit ,
Ituvo they committed the ciime of per
jury. 'Ihe testimony ol a confessed
peijuier is absolutely excluded
liom the couils by Ihe enactniPiit of llio
coniriess of the United Stales , and should
receive no considuiation at \ . our hands.
A man who commits the ciiinu of perjury
is an outcast fioui tin SP points ami the
seal of jei ) jury is indel bly stamped ujion
h s fbiehead. Hut witnesses have come
in here without Ihn least show ot shnnie
and admitted that Iheio is no shadow of
iminhood about them. They have stulti-
lied themselves by boldly and bra/only
lulinilting their ] inrjuiy. I am thanklul ,
however , tlialtluso nelf-admitlul peijur-
en ? nre not icsidents of thu stale of JCe-
bi.iska. Not ono of Ihcm can say that
their degraded lives mo passed in the
confines of this stale. They have placed
themselves under this junsdiclion , how
ever , and have comu heic lo asseit their
degradation.
( leiillemen of the juiy , you Imvo the
evidence lo decide on. If such lestimony
as i have described bus been submitted
to jou. you sh ill refuse to consider it un
less it lias coriobonitivo testimony. One
ot tliu witnusses has testilied that ho was
igiioiant why ho vvas employed to take
up this laud , thus show ing himselt to be
an ignoramus or p.uticeps eiiminis.
liven il the accused aiu guilty , jou must
take i'llo considuralion the tact they aio
only loots ot llio greater criminals. Sit
ting in their otlices in Denver the wealthy
swiiidleis have pulled thuwiics and m-
ranged Ihu plans to u-o these poor men
to commit iheir crimes.
Judge Dundy then proceeded to define
a couspiiaey and instruct the jury as to
their duty. They then relit cd , and after
deliberating for three hours announced
that they had agiccd upon a vvidict ,
Court , which had ndjomned , was leas-
sumblcd , and thu veuhul was announced.
Sylvester Yundt , one of the defendants -
ants , was found guilty of conspli.iey to
defraud the government , but wns dis
charged on Ihe other count of Ihe indict
ment , ( hat being subonliialion of per
jury. Hii'sh , Hjan and Moore weie. juo-
noiineed not guilty and were nccoidingly
dibchuged.
