Mr. Driggs replied to County Attorney Murphy's argument argu-ment Jn favor of hoi Jing Loader, claiming tbat the latter bad not been identified, and that It had been shown that he was very drunk a short time before the assault was committed. Mr. Murphy closed the argument and Comoiip-louir Xoi-rell Xoi-rell cited portions of thu evidence en whieh lie thought the defendant should be held. Bail u fixed at , which has not yet been fur nfehed. The witness for whom there was a long wait, granted at the request ol the prosecutor, and who failed to arn-ear, was an employe of the Tribune, who, it was stated, would givesubctantially the following testimony: testi-mony: .Early in tho evening un which Mr. Caine was assaulted, the Tn&une employe changed a fill) dollar bill lu front of a saloon. Two men. answering tho docription of Loader and Smith stood near by and saw the transaction. A boy who was alo on the spot, sbrpjied up to the Tribune man and saldr "You'd better look out or those fellows will bold you up."
