It claimed that her testimony at Mayne’s trial was false. They assert that the girl has been induced to make such | statements, and that they will be able to| | prove them untrue, The affidavit by Mrs. Jessica H. Wright makes a specific denial of all the allega- tions made by Della May Shipton in her affidavits. She relates the manner in| | which the girls came into her charge by | | order of the court to be cared for unti Mayne’s trial, and denies emphatically | that they were kept in such strict sur- veillance as charged by Della May Shipton. | Instead of telling the girl that she must | stify against Mayne, Mrs. Wright swears | that she never said .anything of the kind | to her and only told her to tell the truth, | as shealso told E As far as threaten- | & at her in prison if she did not tes- | tify against Mayne, Mrs. Wright says that | neither she nor” her husband ever did so. | When Mrs. Shipton came down from San Francisco Mrs. Wright says Della did not want to _get away, but desired to remain where she was and testify at the trial. She did not allow the girls to see any one representing Mayne, but they were always at liberty to see any one else. The atfidavit by Elsie Shipton also denies the statements made by her sister, Della May, and reiterates her charges against Mayre. She never heard the Wrights tell them to testify to anythinz but the truth. She also denies all the allegations of in- timidations and states that she, as well as her sister, gave her testimony at the Mayne trial freely and voluntaril; SMEN.

Fierce Battle and a Wild Com- motion by Drunken Redskins. HID AWAY THE DEAD BODY. Officers Unable to Get Any Defi- nite Information of the Tragedy. SAN DIEGO, Car., Nov. 20.—An Indian was murdered by his fellow-tribesmen in the wild country near Dulzura, in this county, on Saturday night, and his body nidden. The Indians were cutting wood and secured a keg of wine, with which they filled up and then began to fight. The result was the murder outright of one man and the horrible cutting of an- other around the heart and abdomen so that he will die. The squaws were at the camp when the fight began, but withdrew and left the bucks to kill one another. There was great noise in camp—suffi- cient to frighten all the white people liv- ing within a mile or two, and the cursing and shrieking did not abate until Sunday morning. The Indian that waskilled was hidden or buried on Sunday, and when an officer went to the camp to investigate the trouble he was unable to find any trace of the dead menn. Not one of the Indians would ad- mit that he knew anything about the fight. Jose Lucero, the wounded Indian, was found in oneof the little shacks, but he said he did not know who cut him or what the tight was about. He would not give the name of any Indian engaged in the melee, and as he himself was dying at last accounts it is probuble the participants will never be called upon to answer for the two murders. Deputy Sheriff Fred Jennings will leave for Dulzura to-morrow morning and make an effort to find the guilty Indians. If the wounded man is still alive he will be re- moved from camp, and may be induced to give the names of all those who took part in the fight. Should he impart this infor- mation to an officer while in camp his tribe would probabl y put an end to him. It is believed that an Indian named Ramon Casedo, from Santa Carina, Lower California, was one of those who took an He has always borne a bad reputation below the line and is notorious for inciting trouble among his countrymen. He was in the Dulzura country not long ago and made more than one enemy among the Indians there. He is said to have threatened the life of & young squaw named Rosa, and was or- dered out of camp, but refused to go. Ever since then Casedo has been the terror of his fellows, and never hesitated to araw a knife on the slightest provocation. He is now protably safe among his friends in the foothills of San Pedro Martir. CARSON MINT TRIAL. Prospecting in a Potato Patch for the Losses Claimed to Have Been Sustained. CARSON, Nev., Nov. 20.—The prosecu- tion in the trial of James Heney, the sus- pected bullion thief, to-day called for the appointment of three men to prospect in Cole Atherton’s potatd patch, where the defense say that the Mint losses are gone. Price, the leading expert witness for the defense, on cross-examination to-day, be- came a witness for the Government by tes- tifying that no known process could pos- sibly cause a waste of 1500 ounces out of 110,000 ounces tested. Such a loss, he said, could be occasioned only by gross careless- ness or bodily taking the gold out of the Mint. | A witness for the River Mills swore that | in testing the Con. Virginia ore they found | as high as 116 per cent in the returns when there should have been hut 8 on Con. Virginia ore. They claimed that Woodbury of the Morgan } sold acid to the Mint and took the Mint solution in xchange and dumped the solution in the settling vats. The defense attempted to show that the Con. Virginia received $56,- this cause. The court ruled the testimony out because the defense was unable to their figares. Spurgeon, for the defense, admitted on cross-examination that there were chances to steal from the refinery and that all had an equal chance. It is held that if the Virginia returns was correct that the Mint would bave a case against the mining com- pany. el FOR COAST DEFENSE. Fortifications on Puget Sound.
