THE ANACONDA STANDARD, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1892. 5 ## Column 1 # TALES FROM THE COURT ## Investigation Into the Suicide of Murderer Price. ## CRIMINAL CASES TRIED ## Martin Dean Will Live at Deer Lodge for Awhile—Other Matters Before the Judges. BUTTE, Sept. 13.—The Price inquest was completed this morning at the county jail by taking the testimony of John Turney, Leander Dickey and Martin Dean, Price's cell mates. Besides what was published before, they testified that when Price was returned to the cell after hearing the jury's verdict, he was asked what the sentence was. He laughed and replied: "Murder in the second degree with a recommendation for mercy." They saw him burn some papers in a cuspidor, a corner of a piece being recovered by one of them the next morning, which proved to be a portion of the type-written testimony of his trial. He had frequently told the witnesses that he would never go over the road, even for manslaughter, and wouldn't stand a sentence of one day. They thought he was bluffing and did not pay much attention to his threats. They did not know him to have any morphine, but said that about a month ago there was a morphine fiend in jail who had a quantity of the drug, and a portion of it was stolen from it. When the man missed his morphine he declared that enough had been stolen to kill all the men in the jail. No one saw Price take the poison. Jailer Scott testified that when he took Price back to jail on Saturday night after hearing the verdict, he appeared more composed than he had been for some time, and seemed to have a determined look on his face, but the jailer suspected nothing wrong. He also stated that it was possible to smuggle morphine into jail. The coroner's jury found a verdict that Price came to his death by taking morphine, while in jail, with suicidal intent. ### Criminal Cases. Martin Dean, one of the trio of highway robbers who were yesterday found guilty, expressed a desire this morning to withdraw his motion for a new trial provided the county attorney would dismiss the other charge against him. The prosecution agreed to this and Dean was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary, the lowest penalty under the law. Dickey profited by the experience of Dean and offered to plead guilty to grand larceny if the other two charges were withdrawn. He was accommodated and got off with 18 months in the penitentiary. Turney's lawyer tried to induce him to follow the example of Dickey, but he declared he was innocent and insisted on a trial. He had also threatened to commit suicide if convicted. He based his hope of acquittal on the failure of the prosecuting witness to identify him positively. However, when the jury was called to try the case it occurred to Turney that he was not ready and secured a continuance until next term. His bail was fixed at $1,000. The county attorney filed several new informations this morning. James Sullivan, a tough looking mug, is accused of forgery in endorsing the name of J. Dillon to a check for $10.50. He was arraigned and asked until to-morrow morning to plead. E. S. Booth was appointed to defend him. Charles Connors is charged with grand larceny in stealing $20[0?] worth of jewelry from J. J. Leys. He will plead to-morrow morning, and W. W. Chapman will appear for him. Zoe Dillon, a frail but not a very fair one, was arraigned on the charge of grand larceny in relieving O. D. McFarlin of $8[9?] on July 28. Edgar Brooks was appointed as her counsel and was granted until to-morrow morning to plead. William Black, the tough from the Coeur d'Alenes, who made such a bad gun play on Galena street and attempted to shoot Officer Werner, and who got a bullet in his leg in return, was charged with committing an assault with intent to kill. J. H. Duffy was appointed to defend him and they at once pleaded not guilty. When Black was removed to jail he asked tse [sic] county physician to remove the bullet from his leg, which he would not permit to be cut out heretofore. The doctor refused to make a fresh wound on the man while in his present jail quarters, as he was afraid of blood poisoning. The sheriff refused to remove Black to the new department, because when there before he came near cutting his way out, so he will probably be allowed to carry the bullet in his leg until he gets to the penitentiary. ### Divorce Decrees. The referee in the divorce case of Helen P. Gelineau against Richard Gelineau filed his report to-day. The testimony of the plaintiff was that she married the defendant at Murray, Idaho, Aug. 25, 1885, and that she is now 33 years old. There are no children. The defendant's entire c[o?]urse of treatment of the plaintiff since the marriage with the exception of short intervals has been universally cruel and inhuman, and he has repeatedly committed acts of violence upon her. While living in Murray he struck her with his fist and knocked her down, and in Butte last January he again struck her and choked her, injuring her seriously. He repeated this in April and May and varied it by kicking her when she was down. He also called her vile names and threatened to kill her, and that it was unsafe for her to live with him. Besides his natural cussedness he had also been in the habit of getting drunk and constantly neglected his business, squandered his money for liquor and failed to provide for his wife and finally in May of this year he left her and has since lived apart from her. She got her decree. In the case of Dennis J. Murphy against his wife, Ellen, the plaintiff testified that he is 31 years old and was married to the defendant in Cork, [I?]reland, March 1, 1878, and one of the results was two children, John and Michael, aged 12 and 9, both of whom are now in the care and custody of the plaintiff. About August 1, 1889, without cause or provocation and without consent the defendant deserted her husband and has since remained absent. Her present whereabouts is unknown. Murphy got a divorce. The referee in the case of Phoebe A. Evans against David M. Evans also filed a report, in accordance with which a decree was entered in favor of the plaintiff, granting her a divorce and custody of the children. Cruelty was alleged. ### Suits for Damage. E. O. Dugan, John Duffy and P. A. Largey to-day instituted an action against James Stride and wife to recover possession of a piece of ground on the Oden lo[d?]e claim, which it is alleged the defendants jumped on the first of January, 1890. The plaintiffs ask for the possession of the ground, $5,000 as general dama ges and $10 a month since Jan. 1, 189[0?], as special damages. Margaret O'Neil also brought an action against Constable Elias Lytle, and alleges that on Aug. 4 she was in possession of a house designated as No. 332 South Main street, consisting of 29 rooms, and used by her as a lodging house, and on that date ## Column 2 the defendant seized all her personal property, wearing apparel, furniture, etc., and refused to permit her to occupy the rooms, or to allow her tenants to use them. By reason of the unlawful seizure she was injured in her business to the amount of $1,000, for which sum she asks judgment. ### Court House Cullings. A number of young attorneys are signing a paper denying that each and every one of them is innocent of the sweeping charge made against "a young attorney" who meekly took a horsewhipping from a jealous woman at the Road House a few nights ago. The paper is intended for publication and every "young" attorney at least under the age of 50 should lose no time in signing it as a matter of good faith and self-defense. John Carrig and Michael Dwyer of Ireland, have taken the oath of allegiance and were admitted to full citizenship by Judge Pemberton. Silver Bow c[o?]unty, Sheriff Lloyd and Acting Coroner Muldoon are financially out to a considerable extent on the Fromentier murder case, as the Jefferson county commissioners have sent word here that they refuse to allow the bills. When the murder was committed in the lowlands last winter the Jefferson county sheriff notified the officers here to take charge of the case, and consequently an inquest was held and the testimony taken at that time was used at Boulder in the trial of Fromentier, who, however, was acquitted. Bills for expenses were sent to Jefferson county but refused. Suit will be brought to recover the amounts. A default was entered in the Blom divorce case this morning and John Lindsay appointed referee to take testimony and report to the court. Thomas Carrig and Pat Carrig, natives of Ireland, to-day made declarations of intention to become citizens of the United States. James Richards, a former subject of Quen [sic] Victoria, and Alex MacKenzie, a native of Canada, were admitted to citizenship this afternoon. J. R. Richardson was excused from the jury to-day and a venire issued for five additional names, returnable on Thursday. ## AFTER THE OFFICERS. ### Chief of Police and City Clerk in a Justice's Court. BUTTE, Sept. 13.—Chief of Police Gray and City Clerk McCrimmons find themselves billed as defendants in a little entertainment provided for their especial pleasure in Judge Arnold's court at Walkerville. The suit is brought by J. J. McGilvray, and is for the recovery of $50, which sum of money the plaintiff alleges the defendants are withholding from him, notwithstanding that it belongs to him, and that their action is wholly wrong and unjustifiable. Several weeks ago McGilvray was arrested on complaint of the D. J. Hennessy company for obtaining goods under false pretense. McGilvray was arraigned before Judge McMurphey who released him on a cash bond of $50, posted by Mike Murphy, the amount of goods obtained by the defendant being small. A day or two after his arrest McGilvray made overtures for a compromise and the county attorney consented to a dismissal of the case upon payment of all costs by the parties at interest. Settlement was made on this basis and the costs were deducted from the surety money in the hands of the court. The balance of the money was returned to Murphy by the court, and the latter holds his receipt for the same. So far the chief and clerk's connection with the case appears rather obscure, and the only ground McGilvray had for bringing suit against them is the fact that the bond was deposited with the clerk, Judge McMurphey not being in court at the time. As soon as the judge returned the clerk turned the moner [sic] over to him; the case being brought under the laws of the state, the clerk had no authority to keep the bond. How the plaintiff connects the chief with the case is not known. Judge McMurphey has Murphy's receipt for the money and will appear as a witness in behalf of the two city officials. The judge says that if the money has been wrongfully paid to Murphy that he, and not the chief and clerk, is responsible for it; but how McGilvray manages to bring suit for money which apparently did not belong to him, the judge cannot understand. ## THE REPORT DENIED, ### That Rumor About the Signing of the Mine Owners' Scale. BUTTE, Sept. 13.—The report published in the Wallace, Idaho, *American*, that the Butte Miners' union had instructed the Coeur d'Alene union miners to accept the scale of wages offered by the Mine Owners' association, is denied here. Financial Secretary Eddy of the Butte Miners' union was asked concerning the correctness of the report, and appeared to be much surprised, saying that that was the first he had heard about such a thing. As soon as he recovered from the surprise occasioned by the reporter's question, he made a most emphatic denial of the report. He said that as far as the Butte union was concerned, nothing had been said or done that would justify the report quoted. If anybody had really caused such a statement to be made in the Coeur d'Alene country, it was without warrant from the Butte union. The strike was made for $3.50 a day for all men employed underground, and no offer to accept less had been considered. ### Notice. All persons indebted to the firm of J. H.

BUTTE, Sept. 13.—Registration for the coming election will commence Thursday. The places for registration will be selected by the registry agents in their respective districts. The list of agents as it now stands is as follows: District No. 1, Walkerville and Brown's Gulch—Neil O'Donnell. District No. 2, Centerville Jerry D. Murphy. District No. 3, Butte—Me[y?]er Genzberger. District No. 4, Butte—J. R. Russell. District No. 5, Butte—T. J. Jeffries. District No. 6, Butte—Lou P. Smith. District No. 7, Butte—B. T. Haley. District No. 8, East Butte and Parrot—H. Kemper. District No. 9, Meaderville—Frank J. Lyons. District No. 10, South Butte and Blacktail—Pat Toole. District No. 11, Centennial brewery, Rocker and Burlington—Louis Schmidt. District No. 12, Silver Bow, Silver Bow Junction, German Gulch, Norton Gulch and Feeley's—D. D. McLaughlin. District No. 13, McCune's wood camp—C. H. Dudley. District No. 14, Divide—A. L. Picketts. District No. 15, Melrose, Soap gulch and Clipper mine—F. C. Byrne. The republican county central committee, at a meeting held in the office of M. L. Holland at the court house, last night, elected James B. Gallagher as chairman, and in that way attempted to placate the disappointed followers of the under sheriff. A resolution was also adopted empowering the chairman to select his own secretary. A committee was appointed to secure headquarters for the central committee during the campaign with instructions to report at another meeting to be held Wednesday night, at which time the assessments on the candidates will also be made. The plan of campaign was discussed, but nothing definite arrived at. In this connection it may be interesting to hear that A. F. Bray announced that an independent republican county convention would be called shortly and a full county and legislative ticket nominated. He says he is not the only republican that is disgusted with what he terms the ring ticket. The registry books will be open between 2 p. m. and 8 p. m. on all legal days from and after the 15th of September to the 5th of October, and from the 5th to the 15th of October they will be open from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. A number of the appointed agents have not yet qualified and there seems to be some question whether they will serve. The law gives the chairman of the county commissioners power and the duty when he shall have received notice from any responsible citizen of the disqualifications or the failure to serve of any registry agent, after the opening and prior to the closing of the books of registration, to immediately, without giving notice, appoint another agent to fill the vacancy who shall qualify within two days. If no one can be secured to act as registry agent for any district, the voters may register in another district upon making a proper affidavit. As the places for registration have [not?] not yet been selected by the agent it has been urged that when they are selected the agents have them published in the papers. There is no law providing for it, however, and unless they voluntarily do it, the voters will be compelled to hunt them up. Many complaints have been made by residents in outlying districts of the distance they have to go in order to register, the nearest places to many localities being 12 or 15 miles. The voting precincts, however, are not so far distant from each other. # NORTHERN PACIFIC EXCURSIONS. ### $64.50 G. A. R. $64.50. The Northern Pacific will sell round trip tickets to Washington, D.
