# THE BUTTE MINER, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1905 ## Column 1 # BANK ROBBER GUILTY **Jury Finds Hudson, Alias Doe, Alias Murray Guilty.** # PUNISHMENT LEFT TO THE COURT **The Man Who Tried to Hold Up the Silver Bow National Fails to Have His Sentence Fixed for Anything Up to Ten Years in the Penitentiary—Other Court News.** Thomas Hudson, alias John Doe, whose true name is said to be Murphy, was put on trial in Judge Speer's department of the district court yesterday for attempting to hold up the Silver Bow National bank on John 11, last. Since his capture Hudson has been endeavoring to the court just to giving a full crop of trouble and his trial proceeded not once smooth, but not sufficiently to cause a complication. He was defended by John W. Cotter, while Assistant County Attorney Booth represented the state. Besides the witnesses a number of doubting friends of the accused man were in court. A jury was secured without much trouble: J. H. Carder and C. S. Paxford were excused for cause, and J. N. Lowney was challenged by the state and John Eddy and B. Campeau by the defense. The jury as drawn was as follows: John B. Allen, John P. Pascoe, A. Harrington, T. J. Foote, N. G. Martin, Potkar, Daniel Cross, Charles A. [illegible], Oscar [illegible], W. I. Cotter, Richald Kent, O. H. Baum and Jerry Leahy. In the selection of the jury Attorney Cotter announced that the defense would object and question each such man as to whether he would give due consideration to that plea. When the jury had been sworn the state put Policeman Ingraham on the stand, but before he could get any way into his testimony the defense objected to the introduction of any testimony on the ground that the information failed to state a public offense, as it does not allege the legal existence of the Silver Bow National bank as a corporation. The information had referred to it as "the Silver Bow National bank, a corporation" without specifying under what laws it was incorporated. The noon hour having arrived the argument on the objection were put off on till the afternoon. After recess Attorney Cotter and Attorney Booth argued the point at length and Judge Speer overruled the objection, holding that, whether the bank was a corporation, and whether the corporation was one of the state or those of the United States made no particular difference. An exception was taken by the defense. Testimony for the state was then admitted and it established the facts in the capture of Hudson. On West Granite street, he said, Hudson pulled his revolver and told him to "throw up his hands," the classic work of the knight of the road, which Hudson varied by his pistol refusing to work to threw it at Harrington and struck down that man, knocking him down. Under this the flight and subsequent capture took place in a doorway or some way leading from the alley where the defendant was seeking to hide. W. O. Thomas, bookkeeper and clerk in the Silver Bow National, testified to Hudson coming to the bank about 10 and getting a dollar bill for a silver dollar. The next day between 12.30 and 1 p. m. Hudson returned and wanted another favor. Thomas offered to wait on him, but Hudson asked for smaller bills as he said he hadn't any. Hudson went out and when Thomas had a look at his books for awhile. On returning to his teller Thomas saw Hudson return to the walk and then enter the bank. Then he went and leaned against the telephone post a moment and then walked straight into the bank and up to the window. Then Thomas evidently became suspicious and was getting away saying, exclaiming, "Young man, what do you mean by this?" etc. The bookkeeper dropped at once behind the counter and Custer Cotler and several others in the vicinity gave the alarm. When he got so Hudson was gone. Witnesses identified the defendant as the man who had been in the bank and drawn the dollar bill. In the scuffle that took place in the inner room it was discovered that he had got away but left his grip, in which revolver was the cocked and sworn and went away to see if he could trace Hudson, some of his friends of the former telling him to say boldly first. Mr. Thomas reported to the police. Policeman Hartmann testified to the capture of the man afterwards. Pacte [Young?] told how Hudson surrendered. He saw him sitting down and asked him how he came to make such a fool of himself. Hudson averred that he is broad daylight on the street. This officer also testified that he was broken up pretty bad. He had a 32 caliber with two cartridges left in it. He had sought to escape without making any effort to secure any money. Jack Haines was called and testified to following the man to the local county jail. James H. Lynch testified to seeing Hudson try to hide and then going and asking him how to escape. Policeman Ingraham, who had held up a bank himself on a former occasion as he hadn't registered yet. He had to have it. Pacete Harrington was one of the men most called. He says that the connection he had with it was under the laws of the United States. This ended the state's case. Attorney Cotter made the opening argument for the defense, beginning with his plea of insanity. Thomas Hudson son had been in the bank and done all that had been alleged, but the defense endeavored to show that the man had been insane at the time, that his mind had been so affected that a disease had born him thousands of dollars. He would also show that the prisoner was suffering from a loathsome disease and that while he had done what had been charged he was irresponsible. Stephen Eugene Diedrich, a colored porter, testified to acquaintance with Hudson since 1903, when he met him in Diedrich's Hotel. He testified to a conversation in which he fell over the face laying there to see who was speaking so fast and raised. Witness had pursued the line of examination and after the defense had got through the state's witness attributed the trouble with his testimony and brought out many startling taking. On cross-examination, Diedrich was asked what name Hudson went by at the hotel. When answer to this was given it was said the man had referred to keep his name of Murphy. Why was not it was John Doe. The prisoner, Mr. Cotter understood, had relatives whom he wished to protect from giving his name. Judge Speer thought no effort was entitled to know the man's true name and the question was pressed further. Diedrich was told to a mewer the question, and he said the prisoner's name in Colorado was Thomas Hudson. Mr. Booth wanted to know what others Diedrich had said or had noticed about Hudson which led him to believe the man was not right in his mind. Witness said he had seen Hudson pitched the [?] from the tables while dealing, and at his impression the house had been blown. "After you you see a dealer do that, you think he is out of his head," explained Mr. Booth. "Sure," said the witness. George Hopkins testified to knowing and dealing with various characteristics for witness in his gambling house as well and frequent acquaintance with Hudson. He had lived with, taken care of Hudson taking him and another to various gambling games and resorts, noticing their merits. Witness was asked what conditions about Hudson led him to believe that Hudson was a man to get money. The state objected and the court would not allow the man to answer. Dr. D. C. McCrimmon testified as to Hudson's physical condition and spoke of his weak mind. He would not prevent them from making a determination, as he had with him. The defense introduced several other men who had been acquainted with Hudson at times, and his reputation in the community. Attorney Booth then started the argument for the state, while Mr. Cotter stated the defense, claiming that among all the defenses the insanity plea made Hudson entitled to acquittal. He said the accused court took a recess until 7.30 at night. Following the recess, Attorney Booth made the closing argument for the state, insisting firmly on the fact the defendant showed a knowledge of criminal intention to secure money, and no signs of insanity in any one of these. Mr. Cotter in his argument told by the jury every man was presumed to be sane until proved otherwise, and must introduce a reasonable doubt that there a reasonable doubt in the continuance of the transaction. Hudson should be acquitted. The jury retired at 8:43 and returned at 9.30 with a verdict of guilty, having been submitted to the case at 8:30. Mr. Cotter gave notice of motion for a new trial when the verdict was announced. Sentence was not for the reasons otherwise. Mr. Booth gave notice that he would in all cases have information changed against Hudson, that of attempted murder. Hudson's true name is given by a man who knew him as Thomas Murphy. He is about 35 and from the country. --- ### OTHERS MUST PAY. **THE HOMESTEAD BONDSMEN WOULD HAVE TO.** Judge Knowles, in the United States court yesterday, handed down his word the order asked for by Samuel T. Caldwell as receiver to set aside a judgment of the district court. This was to pay the judgment in the case of Alfred E. Blume and would mean putting more funds now in bank to the credit of the receiver from out a judgment affirmed against the road some years ago for a real injury the [illegible]. Caldwell's attorney appealed to the supreme court of the United States, the decision both sides Seattle going on the appeal bond. While the case was pending in the supreme court the road went into the hands of a receiver. The supreme court then affirmed the judgment and an effort was made to collect. The homesteader was called upon to pay the judgment and their bonds was first subject to the claims of Blume. [illegible] In a similar case Judge Jenkins held that the bondsmen under the appeal bond were not further liable than for the receivers to pay such a judgment. The same argument seems to fit Caldwell, however, in another case just decided by Judge Knowles with the opposite result in this case. The bondsmen on appeal were the [illegible] & Northern. The question in this case should Judge Jenkins' decision be affirmed and the court holds that the bondsmen are liable for paying the judgment and therefore orders them to do so. Blume is a resident of Helena appeared at the hearing. The Northern Pacific bondsmen and Senator F. H. Cutter for the receiver's Leonard Trust company trustee of the mortgage bondholders. The judgment upon which all this argument turned was by a school bill. It was originally for $7,750 but costs and interest have swelled the amount up to between $11,000 and $12,000. --- ### ARCHIE KRAMER GOES TO HIS FATHER. Mrs. Maggie Kramer, mother of Archie Kramer [Archie?] Kramer, was in District court yesterday to plead to the district court yesterday to plead to the case against her son. Attorney Wilkins held that an aunt of the boy had asked to have the sentence deferred and that he be allowed to take the boy's father pending good behavior. The witnesses for the state were, the father of the boy was an honest man and the aunt thought the matter was one of a misdemeanor and the boy was to be taken to his father Dr. Bassett Kramer, of [illegible]. Attorney Booth stated that the father of Archie Kramer would pay the costs. The costs had been paid and arrangements had been left on the afternoon train for his father's home at [illegible]. Thomas Clinton, James [illegible] and others in the grocery store in adjacent cells also were in court and the charges brought into court to plead. McKinley Patten was arraigned upon complaint of witness [illegible] and sentenced to appear before next term [illegible]. The pleadings in his case were brought up again. James [illegible] was charged with attempting to shoot up North Main. Attorney Wilkins charged with grand [illegible] was [illegible] guilty and [illegible] the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railroad were arraigned and entered a plea of guilty. --- ### CHARGED WITH MURDER. **TWO INDICTMENTS BY THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY.** Deputy Marshal Waite returned to Helena after conducting a close association with Charles H. Pritchett, who had been indicted by the grand jury for what a squaw named Stake-the-[illegible?] at July's Creek in 1904, the whereabouts *Continued on Eighth Page.* --- ## Column 2 # ROSES BY THE BUSHEL **Many Were Given Away to the Ladies Yesterday.** ## BEAUTIFUL MILLINERY DISPLAY **Marvelous Importations From Paris and a Bewildering Array of Bonnets and Gowns at the Grand Opening of the Parisian Millinery Co.—Yesterday—New Era for the Women of Butte.** The ladies of Butte were in their element yesterday afternoon at the grand opening of millinery now in this city. From noon until night there was a fair military parlors of the Parisian Millinery company 26 North Main street, a constant procession of Butte ladies who were there to attend the first autumn millinery opening of what is certainly a decided success. Bushels of roses were given away to the visitors on the day, and their perfume lent an added charm to the handsome decorations. In a withering scene of rare art in the attractively sorted French millinery hats set bonnets. The company, the history of this city, any millinery opening here half a dozen attended, which drew such a large and frequent remarks of surprise and delight expressed by the visitors who attended, since they were satisfied that a this was a collection of wraps which exceeded in artistic beauty the marvels of quantities in that line known to the Butte female world in general. "The stock carried by the Parisian Millinery company is simply beyond adjective description, but when the fact is included that it is the largest and finest in Butte city this side of Chicago something of its magnitude may be guessed. Among the vast array of styles, all of millinery were those imported from Paris, all of which were works of art. The opening will be continued to-day, and every lady should feel herself encouraged to enjoy the very latest to bring women all in the coming season of their fathers and husbands. --- ### LACK OF COURTESY. **NOCONTRIBUTION FOR DEPARTING GUESTS.** The Butte football team will have a very black mark set against it if the members are unable to explain to a number of their admirers how it came to pass that there was no committee to something them at the train yesterday when they left the Northern Pacific departure for homes. The general room is stated that the committee and all representatives had traveled about 1,000 miles by stage, and the members attending the fact that a little difference of opinion having arisen among them, the club were gentlemanly fellows and had been as had been as graciously cordially extended to visitors. To allow them to leave the city without any such farewell, no matter what the outcome though it may have been the result of some oversight. The team officers, they think, should explain the conduct and stand clear by them. Sub-rules: rangor, ES; H. J. Blume. Wood cook stove, E36. H. J.
