PASS SENTENCE ON RIOTERS Men Who Murdered Jew at Bialystok ' Sent to Mines. ELEVEN THOUSAND FIRE LOSS Ilaldnn nnd Mnndelheru Sustain ! m miri In I'm I on llloel.. Fully Covered by Insurance. Fire In the Tnxton block Friday night did 10.KI damage to stock of the W. 8. I rtalduff confectioner, according to the stuto ' inent of Mr. Halduff Saturday morning, the ' Roi.da was stored in the basement under I I'.ie Mandelberg Jewelry store and of a light, Inflamable nature and some damage was caused by smoke. It was all covered by Insurance. Smoke and water caused about $1.0fl damage to the A. Mandclherg Jewelry stock chiefly to the leather goods. This also was covered by insurance, which has al ready been adjusted. At 12:30 o'clock Saturday morning dense volumes of smoke began pouring out of the west and north windowa and doors of the Faxton block and out of the man holes In the sidewalk. The amoke carried a strong; Incense of burning pine and Its density made It difficult to locate the (Ire. It was finally located' In the south end of the basement under Mandelberg's Jewelry store and the Halduff confectionery and cafe. BaldufY's bakery occupies the entire basement, and some of the partitions and coal bins were found to be on fire and also the floor of Mandelberg's store. The smoke was drawn up through the two elevator shafts and filled the entire building, creating the Impression at first 'glance that the entire block was on fire. The amoke was so thick In Mandelberg's store that firemen could not enter until a draft was created to clear the rooms. The firemen were somewhat worried over a report that a quantity of gunpowder was stored under the sidewalk In front of the Townsend gun store. By 1 o'clock all signs of fire were gone. this morning were lengthy, making abuu. 12,000 words. After the customary Instruc tions aa to tlni general duties uf the Jurors M to the law and evidence. Judge Wood Instructed the Jurors In accordance Willi his ruling made some days ago after argu ment by counsel as to the admissibility of the evidence bearing on the connection ot Bteve Adams with crimes committed in north Idaho. ThlH evidence, and also that Introduced hy the defense regarding de portations In Colorado and the employment of rinkertnn detectives by the mine own trs. Judge Wood Instructed the Jury not t j consider on the ground tint no prior con nection had been made In either ease Instructions as to the necessity for clear and conclusive proof beyond any reasonable toubt of every material fact were followed by the quoting of the Indictment on which Haywood, together with Mover and retti Kone were arrested. On this subject Judgo Wood says- 1 Three Count In Indictment. There arc llnee counts In the Indictment but the substance o,' each of them is the unlawful willful dellheiate, preniedlaled fend felonious killing of the said Frank Hteuneiiberg with malice aforethought The essential element of the offense ?hargd In the Indictment consist of tin following features: (1) There must have been a killing- i'i that killing must have been unlawful' lib It mut have been willful; (4) it must have been deliberated upon; 1S1 It muat have been premeditated; i) It must have been accompanied by malice In the mind of tin person or persons doing the killing, and. inless these features, and each and every M of them, are proven to your aatlsfae Lion, beyond a reasonable doubt then lh lefendant cannot In anv event be i-on-rtrted of murder In the first degree. The language of the statute Is given as 16 murder In the first and second degree nd voluntary a,nd Involuntary man slaughter. Continuing, Judge Wood said; If It Is possible for you lo reconcile tl.e facts In this case upon any reasonable theory consistent with the innocence of tho d.-fenduiii. William I). Haywood, It Is your duty lo do so and tltui 'lie defendant not guilty. I further instruct you, gentlemen of th Jury, that while proof has been admitted of the commission of other crimes by the defendant and his associates, and lending in prove the coinmiatun of such oilier Crimea by them, that it has only been admitted for the purpose of showing the existence of a conspiracy to accomplish certain object and that such crimes ami the crime resulting In the death of ex Unvernor Steunenberg aa well, were all In cident of audi conspiracy, bui you muat not forget Unit i he defendant Is being tried for the murder of Frank Steunenbwg. and for that crime alone. But you are privileged to take such other mutters Into consideration us part of the evidence In the rase and as Incident and circum stances bearing upon the question of his guilt upon the charge of murder of Frank St -until berg. Three Possible Verdicts. I'nder the indictment in this case the defendant may, If the evidence warrants it. be convicted of murder of the first de gree, murder of the second degree or inan- al.iughter. II makes no difference, however. In this case what crimes have been committed In Colorado, in the Coeur U'Alenes or else where, or who is responsible for the com mission of such crimes. If any there be. The defendant cannot be convicted unless the state has established beyond a rfa 8., nuhle doubt that he Is guilty ot the felon ious killing of Frank Hteunenherg A conspiracy, within the meaning of the criminal law. consists of a combination be tween two or more persons for the pur pose of accomplishing a criminal or un lawful object, or a lawful object in an unlawful manner. As applied to this case and under this Indictment proof of con spiracy Is only proper insofar aa it may tcihl to show a common design to encour age the particular murder charged against the defendant, and it can only be Intro- m M hiii in 1 II Stars and Stripes A Superior Family Beer It is made from Ingredients of the best ouality pure Imported Rohemiun hops, pure malt and water from the celebrated Willow Spring.

It la not essential to the formation of a conspiracy that there should be a formal agreement between the parties to do the act charged. It Is sufficient if the minds of the parties meet understanding so as to bring about an intelligent and dellbefute agreement to do such acts and commit the crimes charged, altnough such agree ment be not manliest cd by any formal words. A conspiiacy In tha first Instance may be established by evidence having no relation to the defendant, by acta of dif ferent person at different times and places or by any other circumstances which prove Its existence. It Is sufficient if the state proves beyond a reasonable doubt tharauch a conspiracy existed at the time of the commission of the unlawful act and that the defendant on trial was a member of such conspiracy. An act done by a party to an unlawful conspiracy In furtherance thereof and naturally flowing from the common design Is the act of each and all of the conspirators, and where murder Is commlttod as the res. lit of such a con spiracy each one of the conspirators, even though he was not present at the place of the crime, if he aided, abetted and en couraged the commission of the unlawful acts resulting in the crime charged, is guilty. If the prosecution has fslled to prove these facts beyond a reasonable doubt you should find I he defendant not guilty. If, however, you believe In this case from (lie evidence beyond' a reasonable doubt that the defendant, William D. Haywood, aided, abetted, advised and encouraged the kill ing of Frank Hteunenberg. then the de fendant Is guilty snd it would be imma terial whether he was actually present at the time of the killing or not. Corroboration Is Kaaentlal. The Jury is Instructed that the witness. Marry orchard, claims that he was an ac complice In the commission of the offense charged in the Indictment. I'nder the statutes of this state a person cannot be convicted of a crime upon testimony of an accomplice unless such accomplice Is cor roborated by other evidence which of Itself and without the aid of the testimony of an accomplice tends to convict the iefendant with the offense charged, and the corrobo ration is not sufficient if It merely shows the commission of the offense or the cir cumstances thereof. By corroborative evidence is meant sddl tlonal evidence of a different character to the same point. The law icws with distrust t lie testi mony of an accomplice on account of the motive he may have for laying the respon sibility of his crime upon another when bv so doing he may secure Immunity for his own participation in the crime charged. Kcr this reason the law exacts such cor roboration, and although the Jury may be lieve that the testimony of an accomplice Is true, still the Jury could not convict the defendant upon such testimony une they further find that the testimony of the ac complice is corroborated by other and in dependent evidence. This corroborating evidence need not be sufficient of itself lo establish the guilt of the defendant, but It must tend In some de gree to Implicate and connect the defendant with the commission of the crime charg-a.l. How lo Establish Corroboration. In order to ascertain whether or not I he testimony of the aci-tinphre la corrobor ated, a the law provides it must be tit-fore a conviction would be warranted, you should eliminate from the cae the evident e of the accomplice an. I examine the evidence of the other witnesses, with the view to as certain If there be evidence lending to con nect the defendant with th offense. If there is. the ace.iplic i orroboruted : if there Is no inculpatory evidence, theie is no corroboration, thoigli the accomplice mav be corroborate.! m regard lo anv numlier of facts swinn to hy hlic. In this case the si.ite r, lies upon circum stantial eyidence to establish the connec tion of the defendant with the conspiracy sought to be proven hv the evidence taken i In connection with the direct testimony of me accomplice, narry tircnard. In order lo further Justify an Inference of legal guilt from circumstantial evidence, the existence of the Ineulpstorv facts must be sbsolutely Incompatible with the In nocence of the accused upon any rational theory, and Incapable of explanation upon and reasonable hypothesis other than that of his guilt. As to Promise of Immunity. If you believe from Hie evidence that the witness. Harry Orchard, was Induced or In fluenced to become a witness and to testify In this case by any promise of immunity from prosecution or punishment, or by any hope held out lo him that If he testified against the defendant he would not be prosecuted or punished, then the Jury bhoiild take audi facta into consideration In determining the weight which ought to be given to testimony so cbtalned. Such testimony should be received by the 1ury wnn caution ana scrutinized with great care. And If from the evidence It appears that any favors have been extended bv the authorities of the state of Idaho to the witness. Harry Orchard, ami there is any promise, either express or Implied, relating to further favors to lie received bv him on account of his testimony In this rase, then those are proper muiters for the con sideration of this turv as affcetlng th credibility of his testimony. Certain articles have been received In evident In the Miners' Magazine for tha sole purpose of determining whether or not any motive existed upon the pait of the defendant to participate in the offense barged In the indictment ami not for the purpose of establishing In any wise the commission of such an offense. Oefrudant aa Witness. The Jury is further instructed that bv statutory provision the defendant In a criminal case is made a competent witness In his own behalf, ami where lie testifies as In this case, becomes the same In all respects aa any other witness. aiul .... testimony must he tested bv the same I in. .-n iram mai are applied to other i witnesses, and the Jury may take Into con sideration, the interest lie may have in me,, case in neierniinlng the weight to he given to his testimony. In conclusion, you are' to determine the question us to whether or not the de fendant killed and murdered Frank Steunenberg as charged In the Indictment or aided and abetted such killing If so you should find him guilty. If not you should find him not guilty. I'nder the Indictment In this case tho defendant may, if the evidence warrants it. tie convicted of murder of the nrt de gree, murder of the a coud degree or manslaughter. Gentlemen of the Jury, the court now de livers this case into your hands. It Is your duty lo consider It and deliberate upon It without fear ami without favor. If the evidence shows that any Individuals, any person In any private or oflh lal capacity or any class or classes of people are In terested In any way In the conviction or u .initial of this defendant such fact or facta should not be considered by you or SCULPTOR SUES FOR WORK J. l.

July 27.-RU' William Ramsay, the dlst ingulslied (henilst. lins promised to communicate In writing In the near future to the chemical society (he results of his researches Into radium emanations.

The Lancet today says the discovery marks an epoch In the history of chemical science and believes It Is n realisation of the transmutation of metals. The an nouncement Is likely to reawaken the dis cussion of the transmutation of elements, which raged a year ago, when several prominent scientists repudiated the trans mutation Idea, while others Jusl as strongly supported It. Sir Ramsay himself modestly disclaims ability to transmute elements, but he believes that the result of his de gradation of copper will be of far reach ing Importance.
