He gave a sketch of Adams' life and hla connection with the Western Federation, showing how he had been Incarcerated in Jail In ns for 93 days, three days after his marriage, and released after no charge had been preferred against him. He showed how Adams had been driven from Independence to Denver nnd how he had come from there In company with Simpkins to take up a homestead la northern ldhao. describing condition In Mable creek nnd the advent of the claim Jumper.

Darrow detailed all of Adams' movements in the Marble creek district up to August 6, when he left by boat for Spokane, staying two days In cheip lodging houses at Coeur D'Alene on the way. He returned to St. Joseph about August 17 and stayed with Ulever until about August 20, the day Boule was killed. On Augnat 24 Adams returned by way of Spokane to Denver, it then transpired that Tyler had not been seen, and EngMrom, the president of the Jumper Killers' association, was arrested for killing Houle, but the charge waa dismissed. Nothing more- waa heard for a year, when an assassination took place In Caldwell, and Adam wm arretted by a sheriff named Brown. Brown said to him: They do not think you are implicated in the Steunenberg matter, they want you for a witness; If you will go down there and help them corroborate their stories at Boise, you will come out all right and you will never be prosecuted." Adame was taken straight to Boise and without being committed, Incareev ated there. Moore turned up here and fold him that if he failed to comply with requests made he would hang, but If he did corroborate them he would gel off without prosecution. Moore staled that he had been given $160 by the governor of Idaho to go to tbe govern-u- f Colorado and get similar SMurance from him.
