SUNDAY June 4th Balloon Ascension AT G1LENWOOD Free Vaudeville and Concert Trespass Case Taken Under Advisement Testimony For Defsnaa in Cass of and Reid Is Heard By Judge Murphy. Les-eng- er The defense in the case of Mark and Walter G. Reid, charged with trespass by Lyman Skeen, was presented In the municipal court this morning. Before swearing the witnesses for the defense Mr. Lessenger announced that he was represented by Attorneys J. N. Kimball and A. E. Pratt, and that he would represent Mr. Reid. Mr. Kimball, for the defense, at once made a motion that the case against Mr. Lessenger be dismissed, alleging that the testimony tor the prosecution had not shown that Mr. Lessenger was at all implicated In the alleged trespass, and cited numerous authorities In support of his motion. County Attorney Hulanlskl objected, however, and the objection was sustained by the court. The first witness for the defense was Justice of the Peace T. P. Terry of Marriott, who testified to having tried the case of Bybee vs. Reid, which was the initial step in the present litigation, and also testified to the authenticity of the documents relating to that trial. By these documents, which were placed In evidence, the defense hope to establish their claim that the judgment in the case was null and void, and that therefore the defendants were within their rights In removing the horse. City Constable Steele testified aa to the sale of the animal and also that he had been warned by Attorney Lessenger thHt the sale was Illegal. Attorneys for both the prosecution and the defense addressed the court at great length, and after both aide had completed their arguments Judge Murphy announced that he wished time to look Into the rase and would Lyceum Theater Les-aeng- er take the matter under advisement til Monday morning at un- 10 o'clock.
