( Jlvcn to tU tlur.v.
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.
