Oentny, charging nim with the murder 6f Mahew, across the international boundary line, haçl a hearing before U. S. Commission er Garrett on the 25th and 261h insts. As his case was a peculiar one, it attracted much attention from', those.living al a distance. Ruburu and Hupuyer were almost depopulated whilst the trial was in progress, and even the Indians of the reservation were anxious spectators. But few if_ any . ot Ford’s .acquaintances believed him guilty; and even the witnesses .for the pro,ss.eelitioiT^btfblted'i t - The-' room in which the trial was held was crowded to overflowing, and many were unable to find standing room. Groups o f men were visi ble in every direction awaiting to hear the result of the trial. Precisely at 11:30 a. m., on Monday, the prisoner was brought into court. Mr. Gallagher, Queen’s Counsel, conducted the prosecu tion, whilst Peter. M. Baum and T. L. Ford, a brother o f the prison er, appeared for the defense. After hearing the opening arguments of both attorneys witnesses lor the prosecution were placed upon the stand. One^ witness, a ciyilari, who lives just across the boundary line, and whose evidence the pros ecution depended upon the most, was laid in the shade by questions asked by deiendent’s counsel. He admitted that Ford came to his house ifptm* a certain *nigét, ask ing him for accompany him to \à place a mile or so distant as Ma hew had fallen from a buckboard and ha! injured himself, probably fatally. When he arrived at the spot pjentioned he found Mahew lying on the suow but covered with Ford’s blankets: ^ He and Ford then took-the unfortunate man to witness’s home and cared for him until he died.. Before he .died, however, he regained con sciousness and talked a little, ask ing for a cup of colfee. When asked as to .how he received his injuries, Mahew stated to witness that ho did not know. W?fness also stated that Ford brought to his house three ten gallon kegs of whiskey, which was soon after taken charge of by -the/Mounf‘ed ; Police. Witness admitted‘to hav ing harbored ..whiskey, ;smugglers from lime to time,. \yhieh. ,\yill mostjikely prove detrimental to his peace and happiness wheft he returns ivofcth. After- the conclu sion of his\ évidence -the examin ing surgeon was placed upon • tlie stand. He outlined the» nature * of the wounds upon a skull provided for the purpose, and when asked if death could be caused b y - de ce a seek fa Ili u g u póma rock, ad.mi t- ted that it could. 'Other evidence was produced after. „which’ the .prisoner was pladed upotty,the stand to testify in his owii behalf. At the Conclusion of histestimony counsel .0 1 1 both sides said* they had no desire to arguë the case, and it was submitted to the Com missioner, who, after a few mo ments deliberation, ordered the prisoner discharged. At the conclusion of the trial to day, Frank and his brother- T. L. deçartW - Tor Salem'; Oregon. ; A ttornéyiBau ui' accompanied them as far as Great Falla. Never was there a man ..trifcdr in •* Choteau county .who;liad as many friends as Frank Ford', and he de sires that your- correspoudent ex press through the columns of T he M ontanian , his sincere thanks to Messrs. C.L. Bristol, John Hall, and many others who so ably as sisted him during his incarcera tion. ... Capi. Matthewsv Dr.*' Allyan, Attorney Gallagher and t he M. P. detachment left for' the North on Tuesday. School Superintendent,Robin son, Miss Ross, Miss Kennedy and the scholars of the agency school., departed oil Tuesday last fòr4 the new government scjiool house late ly constructed by architect Sen- ieur.
