Butte ## Column 2 # HUDSON WAS GUILTY ## *The Case of the Would-Be Daylight Bank Robber.* ## HIS NAME IS TIM MURPHY ### *He Was Not Put on the Stand and the Jury Was Out About an Hour and a Half—Did Not Surprise Him.* Butte, Sept. 16.—Tom Hudson, the man who made a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to rob the Silver Bow National bank at noon on June 11, was on trial before a jury in Judge Speer's court to-day on the charge of assault with intent to commit robbery, the complaining witness being Will Thomas, the assistant cashier of the bank. John W. Cotter appeared as Hudson's counsel and his questions in the examination of jurors indicated that the defense would be insanity. "If the evidence should show that at the time of the alleged occurrence the defendant's mind was afflicted would you give to that the same consideration as to other evidence?" was a question asked of each juror, and each said he would. Jerry J. Leahy was the only man called into the box who had never heard of the attempted bank robbery before although, he said, he was in town on the day of the occurrence. John Eddy, one of the veniremen, when asked if he had an opinion, said he did not, because crime was so common in Butte he usually paid little attention to reports of new crimes. The jury finally selected was composed of John Chatham, John F. Pascoe, Richard Trembath, William Page, Martin Pishkur, Daniel Gross, Charles Bausman, Oscar Kruse, C. P. Tobin, Richard Kent, O. H. Baum and Jenry [sic] J. Leahy. Officer W. J. Ingraham was the first witness and testified that he was on duty on Main street on the day of the attempted robbery, and the first he saw of it was when the defendant ran from the bank. Before the testimony could proceed further Mr. Cotter made an objection to the introduction of any testimony on the ground that the information failed to charge an offense in that it nowhere alleged that the Silver Bow bank, a corporation whose money the defendant was alleged to have attempted to steal, had been incorporated by virtue of any law. He said it was a well established rule of law that in either civil or criminal action wherein a corporation figured it must be alleged that it has a legal existence. Mr. Booth, who represented the prosecution, was not ready to reply to the point raised by Mr. Cotter, so he secured an adjournment until 2 o'clock, at which time he cited authorities which he claimed combatted the ground taken by Mr. Cotter, and argued that it made no difference whether the bank was duly incorporated or not. After Mr. Cotter made an additional argument on his objection the court overruled it, holding that the allegations of the information were sufficient. Officer Ingraham resumed his testimony and said that when he saw Hudson running he gave chase and caught up very close to him on West Granite street opposite the Bee Hive. Hudson turned around and exclaimed: "Throw up your face," and at the same time took a shot at the witness, but missed him, and again took to his heels. Ingraham fired a shot and also missed Hudson. They ran south on Hamilton street and turned west into an alley where Hudson again turned and took several shots at the policeman, one shot going through his coat and the other missing him altogether. The officer's gun wouldn't work, so he threw it at Hudson, hitting him on the left breast and knocking him down. Under Sheriff Young and several policemen then appeared on the scene and Hudson was captured and taken to jail. W. O. Thomas, the bookkeeper, was the next witness and testified he first saw Hudson on the tenth of June on which day he called at the bank and asked for a dollar bill in exchange for a silver dollar, which was given him. The next day, between 12:30 and 1 o'clock he called again and asked for another dollar bill, but there were none on hand and Hudson went out. Thomas became suspicious of him and watched him. He walked up and down the sidewalk a while and then entered the bank and approached the cashier's window, where Thomas was standing. "Young man, I am broke—must have some money," said Hudson, and at the same time leveled a revolver at Thomas, who dropped behind the counter and began shooting. He fired six shots into the ceiling and Hudson ran out. At the conclusion of Thomas' testimony it was discovered that he had not been sworn as a witness and the whole testimony had to be gone over again. Mr. Cotter was willing to waive the technicality but the judge said men could be tried in his court only on sworn testimony. "What effect did the defendant's action have on you?" the witness was asked. "It scared me nearly to death." Officer Barnaman, the next witness, testified that he heard the shots and ran into Hamilton street from Broadway, and when Hudson saw him he ran into the alley where other officers caught him. Under Sheriff Young saw Hudson run from Granite street to the alley and then start back again across a vacant lot. Mr. Young went up to him and ordered him to surrender. He said he would give himself up and handed his revolver to the officer. Mr. Young asked him why he was such a fool as to try to rob a bank in broad daylight, and he replied that he was sick and broke and had no employment. He trembled very much and looked as if he was badly scared. Ex-City Detective Rhodes testified that he saw Hudson in jail and J. H. Lynch, one of the bank directors, also called on the defendant after his arrest and asked him why he made such a bad break as to try to rob the bank in broad daylight. Hudson replied that he did not consider that, for he was broke and had to have money. Fayette Harrington, cashier of the bank, testified as to the bank's incorporation. The state rested its case and Mr. Cotter for the defense told the jury that he would show that the defendant had never been in trouble before; that he had for years held positions of trust both in this state and Colorado, but that while in the latter state he suffered from a loathsome disease which effected his mind and he became insane and has never been right since. S. E. Deitrich, a colored man, said he had known Hudson in Denver and Leadville, and had waited on him. Hudson was dealing faro and was [column continues in column 3] ## Column 3 [Hudson article continues from column 2:] often attacked by fits. He had these fits five and six times a night and had to be tied down on his bed. Hudson said he had at one time received an injury to his head and that the strong medicine he was taking affected him. George Hopkins, a gambler, testified that Hudson had been in his employ at different times as faro dealer and had usually from $1,000 to $5,000 in his charge. He was taking medicine and it had an effect on his mind. Last winter for six or seven consecutive days he got the witness and a man named Kennedy to walk up to Hennessy's to see a pair of shoes in the show window. He acted crazy. Mr. Cotter wanted to show by the witness that Hudson had a lot of friends in Butte who would have been glad to loan him money, and that it was not necessary to rob a bank, but the court sustained an objection to the questions. County Physician McCr[i?]mmon testified that he had treated the defendant since his arrest and thought his disease might have weakened his mind and body, though he always talked rationally. From the conversations he had with Hudson he would not consider him insane. Three witnesses named Bray, McDonald and Lavelle and Officer McLeod testified about their acquaintance with Hudson and some of his alleged queer actions. They also testified that his reputation prior to his arrest had always been good. The defendant was not put on the stand and an evening session of court was held to complete the arguments of the attorneys. The case was given to the jury at 8:30 o'clock and they were out half an hour and returned with a verdict of guilty as charged, leaving the sentence to be fixed by the court. The defendant did not look a bit surprised when the verdict was read. Mr. Booth announced that he would tomorrow morning dismiss the other case against Hudson, in which he is charged with assault with intent to commit murder. Sentence will be passed on Saturday. Hudson's right name, it appears, is Tim Murphy, and was raised in De Pere, Brown county, Wisconsin. His people at present live at Menosha, 25 miles south of De Pere. It is stated that he has a sister who has been insane and that he had twice been examined at De Pere on the same charge, but was each time released. When he came West he changed his name.

Griffin, of Meaderville, met a shocking death on the Montana Union railway a little before 12 o'clock to-day. The accident occurred on the hill line midway between the old Boston & Montana upper works, and three or four hundred yards south of the residence of Mr. Griffin. Shortly before noon the little girl discovered her 12-year-old brother coming up the long straight stretch of track in front of the house on his way home from school and as she had often done before she toddled down to the track to meet him. A moment after she reached the track a train that was coming down the hill bore down upon her. As her brother saw the train approaching he ran towards her but before he could reach her she was struck down and thrown under the wheels. The horror stricken boy was within about 20 yards of the child when she was knocked down and he made a desperate effort to reach her in time to save her life. The little girl fell with her head on the rail and the entire back and upper portions of the skull was crushed into small fragments and her right hand was also cut off. The engine and two cars passed over the frail little body before the train was stopped. The train was backing down the hill with the engine on the front end and as the accident occurred on a long stretch of straight track it seems strange that the train could not be stopped in time to prevent the sad occurrence. The train was in charge of Engine Foreman John Seaman and the train crew consisted of Edward Evans, engineer; James Shepherd, fireman, and James Davis and J. Lally, brakeman. Brakeman Davis was standing on the front footboard and he says that when the train got within two or three car legnths [sic] of the little girl he jumped off and ran ahead and tried to catch the child and throw her off the track but was unable to do so. While this is Davis' story it is believed by those who have investigated the accident that he tried to seize the child from the footboard and missed her. Coroner Richards impaneled a jury, which will conduct an investigation into the affair in the band house at Meaderville at 10 o'clock to-morrow. The body was removed to the Butte undertaking rooms. Mr. Griffin, the unfortunate little girl's father, is a well-known miner and a member of the Boston & Montana band. The funeral will take place from the residence at 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. T. H. Hicks. [rule] ### A LARGER ENROLLMENT. #### *The Schools Start Out With a Splendid Showing of Pupils.* Butte, Sept. 16.—The public schools opened this morning with a total enrollment of more than 3,000, which is the largest attendance the schools have ever had. The report of every school in the county shows a larger enrollment of scholars than last year with the single exception of the school in Brown's gulch, and it is expected that the attendance there will increase largely in a few weeks. County Superintendent Davies and City Superintendent Kern were busily engaged all day in getting the schools started and in transferring the pupils from one building to another in order to equalize the enrollment in each grade. In the forenoon the books were distributed to the pupils and in the afternoon their lessons were assigned them so that the regular school work will commence in the morning. Parents or guardians who are unable to procure books for their children can have them supplied by the district free of charge on making the necessary affidavit before E. E. Paxson, the clerk of the district at his office in the library building. [rule] ### BACK TO THE CORN FIELDS. #### *The Iowa Footballers Shown Through the Mines—Warner's Offer.* Butte, Sept. 16.—The Iowa footballers took in the sights of Butte this forenoon and left this afternoon for home over the Union Pacific. They were taken through a mine this morning and passed a very pleasant and instructive forenoon. They were escorted to the depot by chief rooter Charley Lane and several other football enthusiasts, but not a single member of the Butte team was present to see them off. "Baby" Warner, the Iowa coach, who completed his baby act yesterday afternoon by refusing to pay his bets on the game, changed his mind this afternoon shortly before the train left and paid all of his bets. Warner expressed a desire to come to Butte and coach the football team, but Manager Stivers and Captain Brooks politely but firmly told him that he would not do for a minute. Warner goes direct to Georgia to coach a team, but his engagement ends there on Thanksgiving and he wanted to come to Butte after that. [rule] Six-hole cast range $25. H. J. Blume.
