Helenswas full of sensation yesterday^but the most important sensation of tbe^day was of course the double murder. The^district court had a sensational case up for^hearing and nobody but the jury, attorneys^and about three visitors were cognizant of^what was transpiring before Judge Blake.^It is probable that had not the murder at^^tracted so much attention, the district^court room would have been crowded with^morbid listeners.
Thecase was Peter Wilson vs A. E.^Glass and Fannie K. Jones, intervenor.^Mr. Wilson is a miner and saloon keeper,^and is in partnership with Glass in some^mining property at Seven Mile, where^Glass conducts a saloon.
Tbeplaintiff sues Glass to recover pos^^session of a note for 32,000 which is se^^cured by mortgage: one for $1,000 and an^^other for 8200, on the grounds that lilass^and Mrs. F. E. Jones got the plaintiff to^meet them in a hotel room in this city on^the 24th day of February, lbSH. and told^him that the daughter of Fannie Jones,^adopted, had been seduced by him (Wil^^son), who is 67 years of age; the girl^Annie K Glass is lb. Glass further said^that if Wilson did not give up all his^money sod property that he (Glass) would^get one smith and Brown, who lived at^Silver City, to bang him and would hang^him. Terrified at these threats of violence^and in fear of his life, Wilson ssys he gave^the notes tor tbe amounts mentioned, be^^sides $500 in caab and a horse and buggy,^though he protested he was innocent of the^charge.
(n the other hand Glass denies all this^and says that Wilson gave him the notes^and other valuables as agent of Fannie K.^Jones for the benefit of Anna E Glass, be^^cause he ( Wilson) seduced the girl, which^Wilson flatly dtnied.
