CHIEF OWEN.

On Trial Yesterday Charged with Carrying Concealed Weapons.

Much Interest Manifested and the Accused Acquitted.

Trial Number Two Begins Before a Jury.

Much Trouble Experienced in Securing Competent Jurors To Serve.

The case of the State vs. Chief of Police Owen, charged with carrying concealed weapons,came up for trial yesterday morning before Justice Fleener in the Mayor's office. East & Miller appeared for Mr. Owen and Henley & Wilson fur the prosecution. The affidavit was -tiled by Ed. L. McGee on informatinn and charged that Mr. Owen on the night of August 29th at the Hotel Gentry displayed a revolver that he had concealed on his person. The defense made a motion to quash the indictment that was overruled' by the court. Both signified themselves as ready for trial and the witnesses in the case were all sworn. The State placed Theo. Treadway on the stand as their first witness. His testimony in substance was as follows: "I had just come from the midnight train and was counting out ihe money. There were several persons in the check room among them being George Owen. Some one was making a great deal of noise at the telephone. I stepped to the door and saw that it was

Owen. I requested him to desist as he was making too much noise. He did not answer me and I repeated the request three times. The last time he turned around and said who in the h 1 are you talking to . I told him that I meant what I said and at that he drew a pistol. I slamned the door and ran to a drawer and took out my revolver and placed it on the counter. Owen then walked to

the door of the check room and 1 stood there some time looking at

me. In a few minutes I had occasion to pass him to go to the kitchen to eat my lunch, he did not say any thing more. Charles Cates was next called and stated substantially the same story. Ed. Wade for the defense stated that he was present but saw no gun in Owen's hand. Said they had been drinking beer together that evening in Ue check room. Harrv lefferson said he was

present but did not over hear any ot the conversation between Owen and Tread way, though he heard the door slam and saw Treadway take a gun out of the drawer,

supposed that they had

some

trouble and I went down stairs

to the street and awaited forOwen to come out I walked down to

Fans Bros.' corner and did not

take him home- On cross examination he said he did not tell Tread-

way and Cates that he took Owen home and that it was a good thing for Treadway that he did as Owen would have killed him. Treadway was again placed on the stand and swore that Jefferson came back in about of an hour and told him that Owen meant business and that if he (Jefferson) had not taken Owen home there would have been trouble, and by so doing he had saved his (Treadway's, scalp. Chief Owen took the stan d and swore that he did not have a revolver on his person that night. He also stated that there was no

friendly feeling between him and Treadway as they had nt spoken

before for five years. McGee was placed on the stand by the

defense but he said he did not know anything about the transaction, only what he had heard, and that he filed the charge on information. This closed about all the important evidence and the court adjourned for dinner. After dinner the argument began. Mr. Wilson opened for the State and spoke about twenty minutes. He was followed by Miller for the defense and in turn came East also for the defense. Mr. Henley closed for the prosecution with a thirty minute speech. The court room was crowded with spectators that showed that considerable interest was taken in the case, as it is the only one of record where an officer is being tried for carrying revolver though the statute only exempts travelers from being prosecuted. After hearing the argument Justice Fleener said "you gentleman hare all warped the evidence to

suit yourseh'pe and I will now. do j the same. I will fid the defend-j aut not guilt' of the charge. He is ,

1 tnere-oro discharged from further

custody."

J ubtice Fleener's court was adjourned after he had rendered his decision in the concealed weapon case for about thirty minutes while Constable Colpitts hustled around and summoned a jury to try Mr. Owen 011 the charge of drawing and pointing a deadly weapon at Mr. Treadway. More than two hours was consumed in examining the jury and

each side exhausted their challengers. Mr. East en behalf of the defense asked the jurors if they were members of the Lw and Order League, and if they were not if they had contributed money for the prosecution ot Mr. Oweu. Each gave a negative answer. The defense then released Newton Fee, whose

placed was filed by John Bundy. Mr. Bundy had formed an opinion but thought he could try the case impartially. Charles Simmons was challenged peremptorily and Benj. Vosa took his place on the jury. The jury as sworn to try the cage

are the following: John T. Bundy, Benj. Voss, Charles T. Robertson, Frank Biebop, Morton Koontz, James Jackson, Jeronic Diilon, H. O. Axtell, William Fee, Luther M. Grimos and Andrew T. Massey. The court then admonished the jury not to talk about the case to any one and then adjourned court until eight o'clock this morning.
