The response, signed by Grand Marshal Overton, was coached in most patriotic lanzuage, paying high tribute to France and the services rendered the United States by her countrymen, and ending with: We trust that our situation will appeal to your superior intelligence, and that you will probably credit us, not with any intention of an offensive discrimination, but only with a desire to avoid serious embarrassment, for that idea alone has governad the executive committee in deciding to exclude all flags ex- cept that of the United States. You well know, gentlemen, that upon all other public occasions you are at liberty to dis- play the flag of France as prominently as you may see fit and that it will always be treated with the greatest consideration and respect. Last night word was received at head- quarters that the French would parade. This response to the executive commit- tee’s appeal reflected credit on its tact and ability and the loyalty of the Legion Francaise, and has removed the only cloud that had arisen to darken the atmos- phere on the glorious Fourth, -BRIBERY IS ALLEGED, Sensational Charges Against a Los Angeles Street Superintendent. 1.0S ANGELES, CaL., July 2.—The Record this afterncon published charges made by Councilman Kingery against Street Superintendent Howard, in which he claims that Howard said there was $200 ritaker opened thé pto- th-a’ demonstration, of cookery. iss Whitaker, and T oned the ap- cookery being the opening juan Assémbly. ed with warm’ap- or a few words of White- 2 stoves and tinned-condiments scat- made quite a kitchen | uce was made, | lemon - créam a tempting dish.

Confronted by His Accusers in a Sacramento Court- room. IDENTIFIED BY WITNESSES. Clothing of the Murdered Merchant Worn by the Exile for Months. SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 2.—Rarely has there been an examination in any criminal matter in this city that has cre- ated the same amount of interest and ex- citement as did that of Alvan Kovalev, held before Justice Hénry this morning. The little courtroom was a mass of swelter- ing humanity, struggling and pushing in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the man who is supposed to have ended the life of two of the most estimable citizens of Sac- ramento. Long before the hour set for the examin- ation the street was crowded with swarms of citizens. while the porches of neighbor- ing buildings and the high steps of the courthouse were crowded to suffocation. Nor was there any lack of ‘the gentler sex, even in the crowded court- room. They pushed and scrambled to obtain a look at the prisoner. Elderly women attired in the height of fashion, middle-aged matronsand fair young soci- ety buds in summer costume forgot the crushing of their balloon sleeves in the rush to geta look at the escaped Siberian exiles. : When the hour set for the examination arrived Ivan Kovalev, in charge of Sheriff Johnson, Deputy Charles Schwilk and De- tective Gibsoh of San Francisco, was es- corted across the street to the courtroom. On issuing from the County Jail and wit- nessing the assembled crowds the prisoner turned ghastly white and seemed to be on the point of fainting, while his trembling limbs would scarcely support lus weight, despite the. fact that tliere was no symptom of a hostile demonstration. Even after being seated in the courtroom, surrounded by officers, his face was pale and his limbs trembled. Luther T. Webber, the son of the mrur- dered couple, was the first witness sworn. He stated that after feeding the horses on the morning following the murder he en- tered the store and was horrified npon dis- covering a pool of blood on the floor. = He left the store and ran rapidly up the back stairs leading to the residence portion of the building. Opening the kitchen door he found the body of his father lying upon its back, with the face gashed ‘and mutilated so as to be almost unrecogniz- able. He passed into the hall leading to the front room, where he found the body of his mother. The witness gave a graphic account.of his search for his father’s partner, and his sister, who fol- lowed him on the stand, told of the vari- ous evidences of the crime that had been committed, identifying the different arti- cles which had been discovered on - the premises—the gory ax, the blood-stained clothing, boots and hatchet. While these articles were being displayed and numbered, Kdvalev sat with impas- sive countenance and, save for an occa- sional lifting of the eyelids and a furtive glance toward the various articles 4 they were handled by the officers, his face might have been taken for that of a -dead man. District Attorney Ryan then handed a black vest to young Webber and “asked if he recognized the garment. “Perfectly,” he answered. ‘It isa vest of my father’s which was found lying on the floor near the kitchen table on the morning of the day the murder was dis- covered. It is a part of a suit which father wore in the evenings. The trousers belonging to the suit were missing and the next time I saw them was in the office of the Chief of Police in San Fran cisco.” ““Are these the articles?” asked the Dis- trict Attorney, as he held up the garments formed of the same kind of cloth as the vest. “They are. I positively recognize them as a portion of the suit worn by my father the evening previous to the murder,” was ‘Webber’s positive declaration. At the conclusion of the testimony ‘the prisoner was asked through the aid of the court interpreter if he desired to ask- any question of the witness. “What questions should T ask ?”” was the response. “I cannot understand - him., No; I have no questions to ask.” ‘W. T. Hamilton stated that he examined the premises. The first article he found was a lady’s stocking wet with blood and covered with sawdust. Following up’ his investigation he discovered in-an old sugar barrel in a shed in the rear of the store a quantity of clothing, ragged, dirty and crusted with blood. After identifying the exhibits, he stated that the coat was one that'had been manu- factured by Martin Siegel of San Francisco. “After finding the clothing I went up- stairs with young Mr. Webber,” said he, “and we found what clothes of themur- dered man were. missing. I made a memorandum at the time of the results of our investigation. They we 1cas follows, ’ referring to a small pocket-book: ‘A ‘coat and vest belonging to a ‘pepper and salt’ suit; pants belonging to-a brown suit; dark gray coat and -pants; a black sack suit and a pair of boots. I do not know of my own knowledge that these things were missing, but the memorandum stiids ex- actly what young Mr. Webber toid me.at that time was missing ‘from. his fither's wararobe.” g George E. Pickering, a member of the San Jose police force, was the next -wit- ness to take the stand and said: “I'am detailed on “special duty a great deal of the time and dress in citizen’s On' the morning of the 27th .of March [ saw two men entering a pawn- shopin San Jose. They had a quantity oi carpenter tools which they were at- tempting to pawn. I saw the same men on the street the next day and the morn- ing following the attempted holdup, which Watkin Tscherbakou lost his. 1ife; I recognized the corpse of the dead foot- pad as that of one of the men who had- en- tered the pavnshop.” S Loty “Do you see his companionin thé court- room?” : : No, I donot. It was not that: man,” pointing to_the prisoner, who, with pale face, was listening to whatever was said, although he declared his inability to un- derstand the English language. ‘W: Zahrawski was then requested by the RUE NEW: TO-DAY—-CLOTHING. 2 A ; - The money in the Barrel will be counted to-| night. =~ Will you come and help us?

The detective stated that in searching the body of the dead robber a scrap of paper wasfound, on which was written the following address: 41155 Folsom street.”” The following day he accompanied the Chief of Police of San Jose to San Francisco, where they kept the house at Folsom street under surveitiance’| and found it was occupied by several Rus- sians, three of whom were then presentin the courtroom. Thomas H. Bowlin of the San Francisco Police Department stated that he was act- ing as jailer ‘at the old City Hall during the months of December and January last. A portion of his duties was ‘keeping a record of arrests made: and offenses com- mitted. - He produced & copy of the prison register for thiese months, and in the list of arrests appears the name of John Du- broff, one of Kovalev's aliases, who is put down as a Russian, 30 years of age, by occupation a shoemaker.” He was arrested by Officer McGee, charged with being drunk. The arresting: afficer, John Mc- Gee, who was the next witness, told of the arrest, and J. M. Brodt, another police- man, told of ‘the disco\@ry of Mrs. Web- ber’s watch inthe closet in the City Prison. 0. H. Knight said that he entered the old .plaza saloon on the 1st of January. There he met Kovalev and Petelon. Kovalev was treating: and displayed a quantity of coin, and insisted on. giving him some. He accepted $5 or $6 and was shortly afterward arrested, but released. While thiere Kovalev produced a news- paper and asked a boy to read it for him, and the boy did so. .. Albert Davis, a shoemaker, testified that he had been acquainted with the prisoners since November, 1893, when Kovalev ar- rived in San Francisco from Saghalien Isl- and.” - Kovalev was in his employ ana wonld.occasionally indulge freely in liquor and be absent for days at a time.
