# HUDSON WAS GUILTY
**The Case of the World-Be Daylight Bank Robber**
### HIS NAME IS TIM MURPHY
**He Was Not Put on the Stand and the Jury Wks Out About an Hour and a Half—Old Men Surprise Him.**
Butte, Sept. 16.—Tom Hudson, the man who made a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to rob the Silver Bow National Bank at noon on June 11, was on trial before a jury in Judge Speer's court to-day on the charge of assault with intent to commit robbery. He complaining witness being Will Thomas, the assistant cashier of the bank.
W. W. Carter appeared as Hudson's counsel and his questions to the examination of Hudson indicated that the defence would be insanity.
The first question made clear that at the time of the occurrence Hudson's manner was such and afflicted would strange acts. Was there any examination as to other evidence? was a direct question put to Thomas Carter and he would.
Capt. J. Leahy was the only man from the detective force who had any knowledge of the attempted bank robbery in question, although he was some town on the day of the occurrence. This Leahy, one of the detectives, was asked if he had an opinion, and testified that Hudson was the last person in the world who would be considered upon reports of new offenses.
The jury finally selected was composed of John Chatham, John P. Fenlon, Michael Tracey, Thomas Brennan, Morris Hanly, Mark Hansen, Tony Baumann, Oscar Kruse, C. F. Tubb, P. J. Rosenthal, S. H. Blake and Jerry J. Leahy.
Atty. W. J. Ingrahman was the first witness and testified that he was on duty on Main street on the day of the alleged robbery and saw Hudson, and saw of it was when the defendant ran into the bank. Mr. Ingrahman said he could proceed further Mr. Carter made his objection to the testimony of a witness on the grounds that the information failed to charge an offense.
J. J. Hennessy, manager of the Silver Bow bank, a corporation whose incorporators he could not name, and have attempted to steal, had been incorporated by virtue of the laws of the state of Montana. It is the law that in either civil or criminal actions against a corporation where it is must be alleged that it has a legal existence and the same was not contained in the information. He would not rule upon the point raised by Mr. Carter. The court could attend to the matter at 2 o'clock, at which time he cited authorities. Then he announced that the grounds taken by Mr. Carter, and argued before, in his opinion were sufficient to quash the information, whether treated or not. After Mr. Carter made arguments on behalf of the case, the court overruled it, holding that the information in the case was quite sufficient.
Officer Ingrahman resumed his testimony and said that while he had Hudson running, he gave chase and caught up very quickly close to the Granada street opposite the Bow River bank, where he was placed under arrest. Mr. Carter stated that Hudson at the same time took a shot at the witness, but missed him, and again one or two loads. Ingrahman fired a shot and also fired a railway detective who was also in the party. Hudson got into the alley where Hudson again turned back. When he had caught up to the man, one shot going through his coat. Hudson then went on to Granite street. The officer's gun wouldn't work, so he could not fire any more. Hudson was then caught by the man in the rear. Under Sheriff Young and several policeman soon appeared on the scene, and Hudson was captured and taken away.
W. S. Thompson was next called. He was a policeman and testified he first got word that something was wrong, at which day he called at the bank and Hudson asked for a dollar. He got a silver dollar, which was given him. The next day, he said, another clerk told of Hudson's bad acts. He wanted another dollar bill, but fears were more and told and Hudson went away. A officer so became suspicious of him and kept the watch. He watched and saw Hudson two or three days before he went to the bank and approached the matter's work, throwing the gun in one hand. "Young man, I am broke—must have some money," said Hudson. The officer some time noticed him acting strangely and came around behind the counter. Leahy followed him inside and he shots into the ceiling and Hudson ran out.
At the conclusion of Thomas' testimony he was dismissed from the trial however there was a little effort to keep him away but it had to go before over night, on account of there being raised on the technicality but the judge said men may be rather frightened by such events easily.
"What did the defendant's actions appear at the time?" the officer asked.
"He scared me nearly to death."
Officer Borneman, the next witness, said he had seen Hudson on or about two days before the robbery in the subway, and when Hudson saw him he fell over the alley fencing so he would caught him.
Under Sheriff Young saw Hudson run from Granite alley to the alley leading to the hotel again across Main street before the man got in the alley and ordered him to surrender. He said the officer gave no answer and could not be touched. Mr. Young then called on the defendant after his arrest and asked how he got himself in a bad break as to try to rob the bank while day light on the busiest street; and Hudson said he was going crazy and had broke and had no money.
Hudson the young man who robbed the bank, testified he to the bank's favor at the trial.
The state's attorney, in charge of Carter for the defense, told the jury that Hudson was not insane but had never had never been in trouble before, except that he had not the record in the trust bank in this state and Colorado, and had never been arrested. He felt that he received something to his brain which affected his mind and he became more and was depressed and to travel.
H. E. Dietrich, a colored man, said that Hudson had met him in Ohio, at Louisville, and had walked on him. Hudson was drinking very badly.
### HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
**The Frightful Death of a Little Two and a Half-Year-Old Girl.**
**HER FRAIL BODY CRUSHED**
**An Engine and Two Cars Passed Over the Child—She Was Going to Meet Her Brother—Her Mother is Prostrated.**
Butte, Sept. 16.—Hazel Violet Griffin, the little 2½-year-old daughter of Charles H. Griffin, of Meaderville, met a shocking death on the Montana Union railway a little before 11 o'clock to-day. The accident occurred on the hill line midway between the old Boston & Montana upper works, and three or four hundred yards south of the residence of Mr. Griffin.
Shortly before noon the little girl discovered her 10-year-old brother coming down the hill and started up the track in front of the house on his way home from school. The child had been there before she toddled down to the track to meet her little brother. But she reached the track a train that was coming down the hill, and saw within touching distance. The engineer, perceiving the ran towards her but before he could do anything, she was thrown down and thrown under the wheels. Charles Reardon, her cousin, within about 20 yards of the child and was barely knocked down, and he made a desperate attempt to rescue her, but could not save her life.
When the girl fell with her head on the rail and the entire train and upper wheel of the engine and the first two cars passed over her body. The girl's body was also cut off. The engine and two cars passed over the frail little body before the train was stopped.
The train was made down the hill on the Montana Union by air brakes, as the accident occurred on a long stretch of straight track. It seems strange that the train could not be stopped in time to save the child's life, as the grades are of good descent. Engine Foreman John Seaman and the others in the cab at the time of the accident, engineer James Shepherd, brakeman Jesse Galloway, and Billy, the engineer. The child's body was found on the front footboard and the head was lying on the track about two or three way lengths of the little girl's cousin Charles Reardon who tried to catch the child and throw her off the track, but he was too late.
A thorough investigation will be believed by those who have investigated the accident that Galloway threw the child from the footboard and missed it.
Coroner Hennessy has been notified, who will conduct an investigation of the matter. The inquest will be held in Meaderville at 10 o'clock to-morrow.
The news of the accident reached Mr. Griffin. The unfortunate little girl is the daughter of Charles Griffin and a member of the Boston & Montana Club.
The funeral arrangements are at the residence at 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. The body will be recommended by Rev. T. H. Ricks.
### A LARGER ENROLLMENT.
**The Butte Schools Opening With a Showing of Facts**
Butte, Sept. 16.—The public schools opened the semester with a total enrollment of 4,000 or more than last year.
The report of every school in the city had a considerably larger number of scholars than last year with the single exception of one school in the Cabbage, and it is expected that the attendance will increase during the first week before coming regular.
County Superintendent Davies and Superintendent Duggan were jointly engaged all day in visiting the schools throughout the city and found practically in regular attendance at each school which equalises the enrollment on each grade. In many lower grades there are many more in the pupils and is the afternoon they said it will require a further change in regular school work for the district throughout the day.
Parents who are unable to secure books for their children can be given them at the Board of education free of charge on making the necessary affidavit. There are $2,500 in value for supplies and there will be no library building.
### BACK TO THE CORN FIELDS.
*From the Mine-Warner's office.*
Butte, Sept. 16.—The races officers took in the state of Butte this forenoon on the charge of riding by passes on the Union Pacific. They were taken through the United States Court, and the charges were read. The defendants were secured to the depot by chief constable and had no difficulty. Everyone had enthusiasm but not a single moment's trouble, and the courts was to have let them off.
Warner, he was tried for a year for robbery and received but when he came on the game, changed his mind. He was struck down through the criminal court and quit all of his bets. Warner and Nichols, former Anaconda boys, were tried before Judge Benton of Pinkerton's and Stevens and Captain Brooks policy for their action, and were sentenced to a scheme. Warner goes down to Georgia with young Richard of the town and is well there at Atlanta and there he was sent more or less in Butte after that.

*din attracted by fire. He had these die five and six times a night and had to be tied down on the bed. Another witness testified that Hudson once struck himself in the head and that the strong liquor had made him completely insane. George Hopkins, a gambler, testified that Hudson had said to witness that Bullock had a lot of friends in Butte who would have been glad in his case money, and that it was not necessary for him to do such things as he was doing for money.*
County Physician McCrimmon testified that he had treated the defendant, drove his arrest and thought the life disorder had not changed his mind from its natural state — though very ordinarily. From the conversation he had with he would not consider anything insane.
Other witnesses named Bray, Merritt and McClerch and Officer McLeod testified about their acquaintances with Hudson and Hudson's peculiar counter actions. They also testified that his reputation was very bad and daring, always bearing guns.
As Hudson was not put on the stand by his counsel, Mr. Cater stated he was failed to complete the arguments of the case. The case was submitted to the jury at 1:30 o'clock and they were out half an hour. They returned a verdict of guilty as charged, and ordered the sentence to be fixed by the court. Hudson showed no signs of being surprised when the verdict was read. Mr. Carter immediately said he would file a motion for a new trial. The charges against Hudson, in which he was charged with assault with intent to commit murder. Sentence will be passed on him later.*
*Hudson's right name, it appears, is Mike Murphy, and was known by the name of "Tim Murphy" by many people at present live at Marcella. It is alleged by Murphy and his friends that he has a sister who has body incorporated in the state of Ohio and that he had sent some money on the charge, that was each time released. When he came here he changed his name.*
