Show : ' . These are perhaps twenty or more witnesses present in Provo who were subpoenad on the Hague case by the prosecution. Some of these were brought from Idaho, some from Nevada, some from Arizona and some from Colorado. It will be seen that the government has been put to heavy expense ex-pense Chief Fowler and his fore have also been put to much inconvenience inconveni-ence in getting them here. If they aie allowed to return now it will be next to impossible to get them all together again, besides which there is a decided disinclination upon the part of the majority ma-jority of them to testify against Hague. Delay in trying the case will make it harder to convict, even now it would be difficult because of the many technicalities techni-calities that will arise to interrupt the pogress of the case and because of the strong friendship for the man all parties on the other side of the case seem to have. They all teem to expect that time in some way will develop new phases and features in this most important case. There seems to be an undefined and indefinable feeling abroad that the half Is not yet known and that when the whole truth does come out something startling and to Hague's credit will develop. The officers, offi-cers, however, are vigilant. The evidence evi-dence before them convinces them that crime has been committed and it is their duty to bring the criminal, whoever who-ever he may be, to punishment. They will do it if it is within their power.and with this in view it may be that the November grand iury will be summoned sum-moned some weeks earlier than waB intended. |
