THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1895. MRS, WEST ON THE STAND Wife of the Accused Murderer Tells How Addie Gilmour | Died. | SALLOW, BEARDED DEFENDANT. | Malpractice and Subsequent Multila- tion Denied by the Defense—Dr. Harvey's Evidence. | The retrial of Dr. West on the charge of | murdering Addie Gilmour by a criminal operation in September, 1893, was not com- pleted yester n Judge Wallace's court. Assistant District Attorney Black closed the case for the State with a review of the fincing of the body in mutilated pieces in different partsof the bay. He read the testimony of several witnesses as given by them in the former trial, the last being that of May Howard, who had sworn that after the disappearance of Addie Gil- mour she had at Dr. West’s request falsely told a Mrs. Austin and the dead girl's father that she saw Addie Gilmour on the Oakland boat, and that she was desperate and talked of suicide. She went down- stairs, and when May Howard followed to look for her she had disappeared, presum- ably into the bay. The date fixed for this story was an evening subsequent to the fatal operation. Then Meyer Jacobs began his opening statement for the defense. It was a denial both that Dr. West had performed a criminal operation or that he had cutup the body. And it was asserted that these facts would be proved. : The defense referred to earlier testi- mony and read from the records R. Gar- rity’s account of how and where he had found Addie Gilmour’s head wrapped in a wire netting and tied to the limb of a tre A fisherman named Conway had first di covered it at a point where the tide ebbed | and flowed near 8 lito. The evidence | of Dr. Wiedman, a San Rafael physician, was also read. He had testified that the head emitted a peculiar odor like that of the pickling liquor used in the dissecting- | room, and that the neck appeared as | though it had been severed with a knife. There was no plaster of paris about it, and it looked like a professor’s specimen such | as is used in demonstrating before a medi- | Mrs. Anna West, the young wife of the bearded and sallow defendant, was put on the stand and testified that she had xnown Dr. West for about seven years. She had been engaged to him for a year and a half previous to his arrest, and had become his by a contract marriage during the part of his incarceration in the v Jail on the charge of murder. Miss Addie_Gould, or Gilmour, had ap- peared at Dr. West's office on Jones street, Turk, on the evening of August 31, 93, and had explained to Mrs. West, who was at that time studying under Dr. West with the intention of becoming a physi- | cian, that she was the lady Dr. Harvey | had sent. | She told the witness that she had had | some pi cal trouble about ten days be- fore and at the time of her visit she ap- peared pale and unwell. On Saturday | noon, two days after, she came again, but | bhad to wait two or three hours, as the wife early two months before the fatal operation, was suffering from an unskillful attempt at an operation similar to that claimed to | have caused her death. AN OFFICER CRITICIZED. Secret Service Agent Harris Denounced in the Howell Case. The Federal Government'’s Secret Service Agent, Nicholas R. Harris—the man whose work is to see that individuals do not put into practice the theory of free and uplimited coinage of silver, mor fol- low the fine art of converting base metal and other doubtful alloys into supposed coin of the realm—was on the gridiron yesterday in the Howell counterfeiting case. For some weeks this case has been going on in the United States District Court be- fore a jury of business men and Judge | Morrow, but at last the argument has been reached, and yesterday was devoted to persuasive eloquence by both sides. The patient and long-suffering jury took it all good-naturedly, and the court was a model of toleration. The argument will continue to-day. A casual listener would have supposed from hearing the impetuous and vehement oratory of Attorney Evans 8. Pillsbury, one of the defendant’s advocates, that Mr. Harris and not Martin D. Howell of Stock- ton was the man whom they were to pro- nounce guilty or innocent. Mr. Pillsbury trained all the artillery of his vocabulary on Harris, and the latter had to take 1t, for to the license allowed attorneys in cham- pioning their cause to *‘twelve good men and true’’ he has long grown accustomed. Assistant United States District At- torney Knight and Mr. Pillsbury d the day between them, Mr. Knight occupying the forenoon and Mr. Pillsbury the afternoon. This morn- ing Attorney Joseph D. Campbeli will be- gin where Mr. Pillsbury left off, and will make the oratorical effort of his life itis anticipated to save his client from the I:cmlcm.iu y. Finally District Attorney ‘oote will close for the Governmenrt. Mr. Knight reviewed the evidence against Howell step by step, dilating upon the voluntary appearance of Matt Jones in court to contradict Howell’s old defense— the Harsin story—which haa succeeded in tying up the juries in the two former trials, ana be chanced to remark that “Mr. Har- ris believed the defendant guilty.” This was the cue for Mr. Pillsbury. No terms of reproach seemed too offens- ive in Mr. Pilisbury’s allusions to Harris. He referred to him as ‘‘fiend,” ‘“hound” and ‘“cur,” and accused him over and | over again of “hounding Howell to the penitentiary,” while the “self-confessedly guilty ones—Matt Jones and Fred Marsh— were granted immunity from prosecu- tion.” Mr. Pillsbury’s precise words should not be reproduced in print. Carried away by his solicitude for Howell his argument was al- most entirely a long string of abuse of Har- ris, and all the category of canine epithets were exhausted. The idea he endeavored 10 impress was that Harris was a merciless sleuth of the Government, relentlessly pur- suing an innocent man to a felon’s cell. Insinuations were made in the most pro- miscuous manner. Pillsbury observed that Laura Welks (now Schnell), a Government witness ana formerly a domestic in How- ell’s employ, had received about $1000 in all in witness fees, etc., and he endeavored to make it appear that Matt Jones was ly the guilty one. He argued that knowledge of this guilt made him take flight into Mexico, via El Paso, from Stockton, and with **stolen’” money in his pockets “leave his wife and children be- hind” to eke out the best existence they could. Mr. Pillsbury dilated upon Jones’ leaving his family. He concluded by hoping that when the members of the jury were enjoving their Christmas at home and by their family L1 N I’KRS. DR. WEST AS SHE APPEARED ON THE WITNESS - STAND YESTERDAY. [From a sketch made in court by a “Call” artist.] doctor was not in. Witness had prepared a couch for her, as she looked more tired | and sick than before. | When Dr. West arrived an examination | was made, the witness being present. Treatment was begun then and continued until Monday morning, after which time the patient began to improve. By Friday she was up and dressed and expressed a | desire to go away the next day to resume her work as & milliner. 3 | & Friday night witness and Dr. West left | the house for ashorttime on an errand, | and when they returned they found the | girl unconscious and lying on the floor. | Dr. West, the witness explained, had im- mediately applied a battery, had sent her for oxygen, and both of them worked over | the patient all night and until 10 o’clock | the following morning, when she died. Witness had asked the doctor when she | returred to the house that evening what | rtended to do with the body, and he | a medical student had already spoken | it. She did not see the body re-| moved. - b o4 She denied that she had hastily married | the doctor in order that she might not be | used as a witness against him. | ‘When the prosecution read to her her written statement made while she was in jail, she freely admitted that parts of it were false, and said that she had not made the statement under oath. The cross-examination by the prosecu- tion was so brief that the defense had no witnesses ready to continue the case and court adjourned an hour early, to re- syme the trial this morning at 10 o’clock. "Several physicians will be put on the stand to-day, which, it is asserted by counsel, will be the last day of the trial. Dr. Johnson, the exclusion of whose evi- dence from theé former trial was the basis | for the present rehcnring, wil! probably not be put on the stand after all. as he seems to have forgotten a great deal on which the defense hoped to strengthen its case. ¥ Dr. W. J. Harvey, one of yesterday’s witnesses, gave evidence showing that the deceased girl at the time she visited him, firesides they would be able to congratulate themselves that they had not separated Howell from his home and family. If Messrs. Campbell and Foote can fin- ish to-day the case will go to the jury be- fore court adjourns for the night. SUSPENDED FIREMEN. Foreman Buchanan Says He Is Innocent of Theft. In yesterday’s Carn was published an account of the suspension of J. W. Buchanan,foreman of fire engine 9, and four extramen for stealing clothing at the big fire on Bush and Sansome streets on the night of the 7th inst. Buchanan lasteven- ing made a total denial of the charges, which he says were preferred by Engineer Kenned He said that the fire occurred on the 7th, and it was not until the 14th that the informal charges were made by Kennedy. On the 13th Buchanan states that he reported Kennedv for neglect of duty, and the charges of theft were made by the engineer in a spirit of revenge. The suspended foreman savs that Driver Kane was induced by Kennedy to substantiate the charges by Kennedy telling the driver that Buchanan had réported him (Kane) for neglecting to keep his stabie clean. in the charges-of theft against the fire- men it was said that the plunder was | taken to the engine-house in a sack, and | that the men quarreled over the division | of the plunder. ~ As to the sack Bughanan | stated that whenever firemen run to a fire they usually have an extra shift of outer garments on the hose wagon, and when | they can they change garments, putting on their old clothes. The sack in question, be says, contained the best clothes of sev- eral of the boys, and that it was Kane who | took the sack to the house. The quarrel he explains in this way: That one of the men lost his best pair of pantaloons, and while at the engine-house he said that they had been taken by one of the firemen. He was very angry, and toe others joked bim about his loss. Buchanan says he can prove his innocence of the charge. NOT AMATEUR METHODS, Reliance and Butte Opén to Ques- tion on the Standing of Players. THE BIG INTERSTATE MATCH. Collecting Men to Oppose the Mon- tana Giants—The Butte Team. The Butte football team will arrive this forenoon. 1Itsvisit to San Francisco in- auzurates interstate athletics in California. It does more than that. It arouses local pride to such an extent that every effort is being exerted to maintain supremacy for the eleven that will practically represent the State in next Saturday’s contest at Central Park. 5 It is just possible that enthusiasm and the desire of victory may have caused the local men to meditate a dangerous step that will hazard their amateur standing: An amateur is a person who has never com- plays left end and is said to be the best tackle on the team. He has played on teamsin this City during the early years of his football experience, which extends back to the later ’80’s. King weighs 158. Perham, the right guard, weighs 200 pounds, but notwithstanding his great weight'he is second to Gillis as a sprinter. Formerly he played with the Portland team. Laswell is another old Portland vlayer, having been the star man of the Mult- nomah team for nearly four years. He captained the team when it was defeated by Butte and afterward went over to the enemy. g Smith, the rightend, is a great inter- ference-evader and is a strong ground- gainer. He, too, had early experience at the State School of Mines in Colorado. Smith weighs 178, Ellis, the right tackle, is an extremely werful man, weighing 196 pounds. He earned the game at Cornell, and when he lays hands on a man that man never slips away from him. Slater is a product of Butte’s only but long season. He is the only one of the eleven that did not get a Jong training elsewhere. He weighs 199 pounds, plays left tackle, and is a big man of the ice- ‘wagon variety against whom no tackle has vet been able to force his way. All the Butte players are mature. They are professional and business men in and about the city of Butle. S NON-PROFESSIONAL BUTTES. Manager Stivers Denies That Any Mem- Ver of His Team lieceives Pay. PORTLAND, Og., Dec. 18.—Manager D. Gay Stivers of the Butte football team, on its way to play Stanford, Olympic, Berke- CAPTAIN F. BROOKS, Quarterback, 160 pounds. TWO OF BUTTE’'S BIG BACKS. L. J. HARTZELL, Fullback, 200 pounds. peted in an open competition or for money, or under a false name; or with a professional for & prize, or with a professional where gate money is charged; or has ever at any time taught, pursued or assisted at athletic exer- cises for money, or for any valuable considera- tion. The Reliance team has already strength- ened itself by extensive additions of former Stanford vlayers and by the captain and a | tackle from the Olympics. That in itself is only a union of gridiron ability of this State to match the pick of Idaho. The | amateur rules are sufliciently elastic to | permit of hasty or transient membership | to attain an immediate purpose. Butit is known that the present intention is to play a man who has forfeited his amateur standing—to play-him under she name of a well known but less brilliant player than himself. The rule is explicivin such cases. Neither Reliance nor Olympic can afford | to hazard their amateur standing even at | the risk of losing the game to Montana. | The player in question is too well known | not to be recognized in any contest he | might enter in this City. Any advantage that might accrue from his assistance | would be less creditable when the inevit- able truth would come out. It was only a few days ago that Reliance | indignantly repudiated the charge of pro- fessionalism made against the club by Caspar Whitney in Harper's Weekly. But the Butte team has its skeleton in the closet, too. There is a giant guard named Hooper, and several months ago he received a salary to coach the team of | which he isnow a member. Fortwo years prior to 1894, when he went to Butte, he | glayed left guard on the University of | fichigan team. This season he was with Michigan again, leaving as soon as the Thanksgiving game had been played, a circumstance that cannot reflect much credit upon football methods at that largest of all State universities. Neither team can claim to be strictly amateur and tolerate such things. And if only one team is at fault the other eleven takes risks in subjecting itself to circum- stances discountenanced by the rules gov- erning amateurs. Both teams have plenty of good men to choose from; and both have good records as hard and dashing players in the many contests they have been in this season. - The Butte team will be considerably heavier than any California eleven that might oppose it. Itis generally believed by both Olympic and Reliance players that the Montana men underestimate their own weights because they are so very much heavier than the ordinary eleven. F. Brooks, the Butte captain and quar- terback, weighs 160 pounds with his suit on. For four years he played in the eleven of the great Phillips Exeter Pre- paratory School, and in 1838 was captain of the Harvard freshman team that de- feated the Yale freshman by a score of 36 t0 0. And the Yale team contained such phenomenal players as the great McCluny and the giant Heffelfinger. Brooks has been conspicuous for his generalship on the field. e is also cham- pion tennis-player of Montana in doubles and vice-president of the Tennis Associa- tion of that State. He is characterized as a foxy-headed player and a man that does not get rattled in a big game, L. J. Hartzell, the 200-pound fullback, isa veteran at football, having played for six years. In 1893 he was captain of the Golden eleven at the State School of Mines at Colorado, on which team he played for five vears. After graduation he put in one season as fullback with the Denver Athletic Club eleven and went to Chizago with the team last vear to meet the celebrated Chicago Athletic Club, which succeeded in winning by a score of 6 to 0. He has filled every position but center during his long experience. Asan independent line-bucker he probably has no equal in the West. Hooper, the left guard, is another 200- pound He has played three seasons with Michigan, and to him the Butte men are indebted for their coaching this year. McMillan, center rush, is too well known asan old Reliance and Stanford Varsity player to need comment here. He has often been spoken of as the best guard this coast has produced. He is light for the position, weighing only 187 pounds in his suit. Gillis is the remarkable man of the whole team. As a sprinter he has a record of ten seconds fiat on a cinder track. When he once gets free from a scrimmage he is practically sure of a touchdown, as he is peculiariy fitted for speed even in a padded suit. Gillis learned the game at the University of Michigan, but he was in- jured and left college. Since then he has en repeatedly urged to return to make the star back of the team. His weight 18 166 . King, familiarly known as ‘“‘Snake,” | yesterday. ley and Reliance in California, indignantly denies the charges of professionalism in | the team, as reported in the dispatches of He said he will relieve his club’s reputation among Californians, and | also said: “Berkeley threatens now to withdraw from the game with us, as a consequence of charges of professionalism which she has made against the team. What the grounds for the charges are I do | not know, but I wish to say this, that no member of the Butte team receives any money, either directly or indirectly, for playing football. It is an independent team, owever, and does not belong to the Amateur Athletic Union. I shall try to pull off a game with one of the university elevens, so as to set our team right before the California people.” INSTALLATION EXERCISES. An Interesting Knight Templar Cere- mony Was Rendered. The public instaliation of Golden Gate Command ery No. 16, Knights Templar, at Golden Gate Hall on Sutter street last night was 'a most successful ceremony, and was not only impressive, but interest- ing to those who are not familiar with the installations of the Knights. The hall was magnificently decorated with flags and palm leaves and coats of arms of the order. On the rightand left wings and upstairs the invited guests were seated, while the Templars occupied the center position. They were dressed in full uniform, and quite carried away the hearts of the ladies, there being a great many present. Following was the order of exercises, which went off without a hitch: Entry of commandery; “Crusade March,” orchestra; Seripture les son and prayer, pre- late; “The Lord’s Prayer ,” choir; installation of eminent commander —music, *“Who treads the path of duty,” Sir Walter C. Campbell; in- stallation of generalissimo—music, “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,” choir; installa- tion of captain-general —music, “The Christian ‘Warriors,”’ cnoir; installation of prelate— music, ““The Lord Is My Shepherd,” choir; in- stallation of remaining officers—music, * Father,’ choir; proclamation—music, “ date Dominum,” choir. The music by the quartet was excellent, articularly the chanting of the “Lord’s rayer’’ and “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” Sir Walter C. Campbell took the Jow notes of *“Who Treads the Path of Duty’’ with marvelous skill, and captured the audi- ence. After the installation of each officer the marshal, Sir Joseph K. Firth, pinned the badge of office on the breast of the Tem- plar receiving his appointment, and the choir sang appropriate music. At the conclusion of the exercises Sir Joseph C. Campbell 1 a humgrous speech presented Past Eminert Com- mander Clark with a handsome oak clock, imported from England by his brothers and comrades, but, as it was too he:\vz to offer him from hand to hand, Mr Campbell announced that it was on exhibition up- stairs. That celebrated Mason and soldier, General John Coursen Smith, who was a guest of the Golden Gate Commandery some time ago and who is at present traveling in the Holy Land, sent a small wooden cross, made from olive trees taken from the Mount of Olives. He also sent some shells taken from the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. These gifts were pre- sented with his compliments. Eminent Commander Cnarles H. Mur- phy closed the regular exercises in a neatly turned speech and invited the uests to take the three degrees that had en arranged for them—*‘refreshments, a visit through the hall of the commandery and 2 Jong indulgencein the art of trip- ping the light fantastic toe.” Following is a complete list of the officers for 1896: Sir Charles H. Murphy, eminent commander; 8ir Jonathan M. Peel, generalissimo; Sir Charles L. Patton, captain-general; ‘Sir Robert Ash, prelate; Sir John Gilson, senior warden; 8ir Robert McMillan, junior warden; Sir Her: mann J. er, treasurer; Sir William T. Fonda, recorder; Sir Thomas XKirkpatrick, standard bearer; Sir Christian Hellwig, sword bearer; Sir Joseph C. CampbeM, warder; Sir Samuel D.

JAMES F. SMITH'S POSITION- The Junta and Buckley Factions in the Iroquois Club Prepare for Battle. The Buckley faction of the local Demo- craiic party has over 6000 names on its club rolls as a result of three nights of en- roliment. If the enroilment is as heavy during the rest of the week the faction will have about 12,000 names enrolled to back its claims to the regular party. Omcial reports have not been received from all the districts at the headquarters of the primary committee at 20 Ellis street. For Monday night the reports from seven- teen districts—all but the Forty-fifth— show a total of 2450. For Tuesday night reports from fifteen districts show 1680. Only eleven districts were heard from last night, and the total from these was 1125. This gives 5255 names officially reported, with eleven reports lacking. Should the average for the next three nights be any- thing like that up to date the total will approximate 12,000, which would be a heavy enrollment ordinarily for a united party. The Buckleyites claim that they will exceed 10,000. The districts reported last night were as follows: Twenty-eighth, 90; Twenty-ninth, 158; Thirtieth, 87; Thirty-second, 129; Thirty- fourth, 70: Thirty-sixth, 203; Thirty-eignth, 45; Thirty-ninth, 48; Forty-third, 87; Forty fourth, 108: Forty-tifth, 100. S James F. Smith of the Deuprey commit- tee has been at various times claimed by both sides, and recently be was elected a member of the regular general committee. He defined his position yesterday as fol- lows: My position is a neutral one. I have had notiring to do with the work of the Deuprey committee since the Watkins committee was added to it, and I have had nothing to do with the other side. Icould not go into a combina- tion with Sam Rainey to purify the party by getting Chris Buckley out of it, and I conld not o in with Buckley to save the party from Rainey. There are good, honest and sincere Democrats on both sides. The upshot of the whole trouble will be that there will be a consolidation. The leaders of the party and the rank and file who want party success and who are not interested in factions will demand and force it. It may come before the rival primaries planned are held, but it will surely come afterwards, at least. A large portion of the party teke this stand. Eugene N. Deuprey, the anti-Buckley chairman of the last municipal conven- tion, who_appointed the Deuprey com- mittee which was resurrected and started in the work of reorganization a few weeks ago, won’t have anything to do with the present row or with the work of that Deu- prey committee. When interviewed yes- terday he said briefly : 1 was authorized by the convention to ap- point that committee, which was to confer with the general committee and reorgenize the party. I know of what has heppened since only through what I have seen in the papers. What happened at the meeting when Mr. ‘Watkins declared the committee adjourned I don’t know. If the rollcall was stolen, ana if an adjournment was taken by unfair meens, the adjournment will not stand. The situation depends on the actions and the facts of that night and what they are I don’t know. No, I am taking no interest in the situation. It has peculiar appearance. One side seems to be pretty strong with Reiney and the other side seems to be something else. I don’t know anything sbout their quarrel. I've coneluded to try and get my health and have nothing to do with them. 7 Iroquois Club politics are warming up. To-morrow night nominations for officers to be chosen a week later will be made. The election will be a struggle between the Junta and anti-Junta factions. Charles Gildea will be the candidate of the anti- Buckley faction headed by Max Popper. They will concentrate their strength in the presidency, as that office controlls the committees and the organization. The other faction is in something of a clined to give way to James J. Flynn. ‘Wall is now first vice-president, and his succession to the presidency would be in accordance with Iroquois Club precedents. He is not, however, considered the most available candidate by the Buckleyites and others who oppose the Junta element. They want to run President Flynn again, and are trying to fix up a plan of electing him. Wall might give way and retain his present office as a compromise, but several others want the first vice-presidency. On pickle because John A. Wall is notin-| the Junta side W. H. Kline and Morris Schwartz are talked of. So with the Buckleyites it is a question of getting Wall out of the way. The com- ing year will be a Presidential and impor- tant one, with much for the club to do. strong president and a reliable one is wanted by the Buckleyites. Flynn is pop- ular not only with the Buckley faction, but also with many members who are identified with neither faction. Among his friends in the club are Robert Boyd, Judge Robert Ferral, M. M. Foote, W. P. Stradley and Alexander Laidlaw. The other night several braves met ina Mar- ket-street saloon and fixed up a ticket with Flynn and Wall for first_and second vice- presidents. Since then Wall has disturbed things by declaring that he is in the tight to stay. Gus Pratt, who works at_the Mint, is be- ing put forward by the Popper element for re-election as financiai secretary, but he is being opposed by the Flvnn-Boyd faction on the ground that he stood in with Popper in his late scheme to organize branch Iroquois clubs for the benefit of the Junta. linquent members will cut quite a figure in the election. Nearly 150, or more than half the members’ owe from 50 cents to $7 50, which they must pay be- fore they can vote. A week ago eleven delinquent members were dropped. The factional fight will make the election the biggest and most important one ever held by the club. POOR PRICES FOR COLTS. Blooded Montana Youngsters Sold at Remarkably Low Prices. There were not so many well-known families represented at the sale of the Montana yearlings by Killip & Co., last night and prices ranged much lower than the night before when the colts from Haggin’s famous Rancho del Paso were up. There were nineteen animals sold. The entire lot brought only $4315, an average of about $240. ‘While the sale was well attended, many of the wealthy racing men were not pres- ent. The buyers were mostly men who have small stables or who wanted saddle horses. The highest prices were brought by a string of five horses from the breeding farm of J. B. Chase near Sonoma, Horatio, a nine-month-old son of imported Midlothian out of Lurline, the dam of Morven, a four-year-old with a notable record, brought §1700. She was bought by M. Storn, who had quite a contest with Lou White and Joe Harvey in the bidding. Mr. Storn also bought several other ani- mals, paying $250 for Ethelinda, a yearling sister of De Bracy by Peel. The only other notable purchase was that of Rafaela, a balf-sister of Pheebe Ann by imp. Mid- lothian, for $400 by A. B. Spreckels. The stock from Montana averaged only $145 a head, one of the voungsters bring- ing only $50. The low prices were caused largely by the fact that the buyers feared the animals had been ‘‘tried out” at Mr. Daly’s farm, and only the culls brought to :hledconst. There were fourteen of shem sold. Two horses were sold by Frank Van Ness. They brought only $65. Twenty-four broodmares, stallions and vearling colts from the breeding farm of ‘W. P. Todhunter of Yoio will be sold_to- night. This lot includes Haidee, the dam of Rey Alfonso and Huntsman. Prince of Norfolk will also be sold. —————— Judges Differ. Police Judges, like doctors, differ. Recently Judge Low decided that the evidence of police- men when obtained through the payment of money “to procure the commission of & crime,” ashe expressed it, was inadmissible. Yesterday the decision was cited in a case be- fore Judge Conlan in which W. F. Roland, a bartender in a saloon on the corner of Natoma and Sixth streets, was charged with selling liquor to a minor. The testimony showed that Officer Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children haa hired | the boy to make the purchase, and a motion | was made to rule the boy’s testimony out. | Judge Conlan deniea the motion, and held | such testimony to be admissible. He then | took the case under advisement on its merits. | Pt o S ey Thurman Memorial Service. The Iroquois Club will hold memorial ser- vices Sunday afternoon in commemoration of Allen G. Thurman. The services will be held in the Columbia Theater, commencing at 2 o'clock. After a funeral march on the organ by Professor Joseph Roeckel, Rev. Dr. Voor- sanger will delivera prayer. Walter P.
