Itul c J.oofbourfv .mil recovered from lie illness Mtllicicntly to preside in court vcstcnlaj' , and the trial of Major Will- ams for I he murder of .lames I Inches wasrcsnmcd. Only two wituosM-s were for the .state yesterday , one belnjj ; , who was ( pilte uncnnimunic.v live. He was pretty full tin nljrht of llio shooting , and was carrying bcc troiu the saloon of the Metropolitan hotel to tlie Union Avcnno hotel , where Hughes , and others were drmkltip Little could be col from him in regard to the shooting of Iliighcv , He had stepped out of the room and did not hear the shots or the men run. When litMjuiiie _ in HuglicN was lying on the Moor. Like ( le.rspaehcrhu seemed rather unwilling to tell what ho did know about the allair. Mr. Patrick , who was altrndinir the bar at the Metropolitan hotel thai night , tes tified to Williams mid two others being in there a short time before Ihe shooting. Conncly came in after a pail of boor to take over lo Hughes. Williams : > iul his comrmles made special intuiryas | lo who wii" over to the hotel , and while Conwly was there they took some whiskv and .some hour wine , ana poured it in the bucket of boor. Then one of thnm took the beer back of llic ice box , out of sight , and did something with it before bring ing it back. The Mate insisted from this evidence thixl Uioy drugged and mixed Iho drinks so as lo slupify those over at the Union Avjniie hotel , and thus bo en abled the easier to carry out their inten tion of killing Ilnghe. . This closed llio evidence on tin : part of Ihe .state. On the part of the defense nol a simrlo witness was introduced. Kven Major Williams did not go on the stand to attempt to explain any of the damag ing facts brought out against him. The fad of his continued silence could nol but cause Ihe average observer and listener at the trial to believe that he did not dare tell what ho knew of thotrajjedv. Under the laws of the state Iho prosecn'l- ing attorney could not comment in IMS address to the jury concerning this .silence of the accused. The fact mat any innoeent man would naturally have one on the stand and denied the shoot ing , made the continued silence ot the defence strongly against Him though. No attempt was made to produce any evidence in favor of Will iams , and as soon as the state had rested the artrinnonU bc-ran. Dis trict Attorney Thonicll reviewed the tes timony iiuite cluarly. Ho recalled the fact of these three strangers coming lethe the city and hanging about the Union Avenue hotel , where Hughes was stop ping. How they annibcd the .suspicions of the police , ana wore watched. They wore seen in diflbrent saloons , but always together. Meeting Captain Wallers , then of the police force , they claimed they were going lo stop al Ihe Ogden hou = e , and went so far as lo resistor there in order to throw the ollicers oil' the track. They went to the Union Avenue iiolel in the afternoon and had a quarrel with Ilnghcs , Williams being llu leaaer of the party. Afterwards they learned that liquor was being taken over to Hughes , and they doped it. Then tlic.y wont over and had another quarrel with Hughes. Williams drew a revolver and ( Joorgo ( icrspaclier interfered and made him put it up. In two or three minutes later Hughes was .shot. . The stale claimed Ihuro was a con spiracy between Williams , Unaeh and Curran lo kill Hughes , and that Williams was to do the act. The district attorney in his argument insisted that the evi dence was snflieicnt to show that Will iams was guilty of murder. Hut in ad dition to that evidence was the dying declaration of Hughes. He told several that Major Williams was the one who shot him. Ho knew that lie was going to die. aniMiad Iho priest called. The district attorney scored ( Jerspachor vorv sharply. Ho had neon right there , had seen the whole allair , and yet was unable lo remember , and was very anx ious to conceal the fads. Ho was evi dently anxious to shield Williams , and was willing to help conceal the guilty murderer. Colonel Daily had a hard task to per form , bill he went at it conragconsly.and made a remarkably strong appeal for the prisoner. Ho spent a goodly portion of the throe hours in which ho addressed the jury , in criticising the districl attorney , the grand inry , the court , and the wit nesses. lie declared the prosecution to be a most wicked one. Ho claimed thai Ihero was no evidence to show any con spiracy. The mere fact Unit three men were efiii together in two or three dif ferent places in the city , was all there was to show any o.xcusn for claiming a conspiracy. IT was sheer nonsense lo claim Unit this was any evidence of a conspiracy. If that kind of evidence was to sullire , then any ono could be convicled , no mutter how innocent , The eloquent colonel urged thai there was nothiii' ' showing thai Williams tired the shot , Not one witness had been pro duced who saw him lire it. No ono claimed but that it might have been tired bv one of the other men in the room. Tlio evidence In regard to the alleged dying .statement of Hughes was also gone over carefully and in detail. It was claimed by thu defense ihal there was nothing in this evidence to show but that some one rise than the prisoner was meant by Hughes when ho said , "The major shot mo. " Tlio title of major might have been worn by Itoaoli or by Cnrran. The declarations of Hughes were not definite enough , and clear enough to warrant the jurors in deciding tlr.it when ho made Ilium ho meant lo be umlor.-tooU that Williams was Iho one who ohot him. The argnmcnt-ion both sides showed considerable bad blood between the dis trict attorney and the attorney for the defense. Colonel Daily particularly devoted - voted much lime and talent to prodding and punching the district attorney , and in his closing arirunicni Iho district ut tornoy was eager in hi attempts to get sweet roveniro. Hoth gentlemen wore listened to closely by a goodly sl/.ui ! audi ence. The case was given to the jury last evening , and the prediction is made llna they will hang- nol the prisoner. L. H.
