The defendant de-fendant told him, he said, that there were not more than two in on it. and. when asked if there were not three, he would not answer one way or the other, saying that he "would stand for the job" if he had to and would not get anyone else in bad. The officer also identified the stolen articles as being the ones that he had taken from Riley when he had searched him. v Detective Pincock testified against Hicks, saying that the man had been arrested in Pocatello and he had gone there and brought him back. Among the things found on Hicks by the Pocatello Po-catello officers was one of Dr. DI-neen's DI-neen's business cards. The detective questioned Hicks about the affair, asking how he could get out of It when the goods were found on him, and the defendant said that he didn't know a thing about the matter. He had ridden to Cache Junction on a locomotive tender, being asleep most of the way and when he awoke at that station, he found the toilet articles arti-cles and dental supplies in his pock- ets. oo |
