A Sensaticnal Incident That Fell F at. Maoy Australian Depositions Read. Eenior First-class Detective John Roche of Sydney, New South Wales, had been on | the witness-stand about an hour yester- day afternoon in the resumption of the examination of Frank Butler, alias Har- wood, alias Weller, etc., before United States Commissioner Heacock, when At- torner Black suddenly assumed a Thespian posture, and with a sweeping gesture, which termineted in pointing directly at the prisoner, and ringing voice, inquired as though it were a conclusion: *“Then are you prepared to say what this man’s name is? Can you say he is not Lee Weller?” The point was well made apparently | from evidence that Roche bad just given. The crowded courtroom was intensely silent, awaiting the answer which cer- tainly involved the Blue Mountain mon- ster’s identity. * Roche hesitated. Attorney Cormac when the detective replied: I can’t say what his name is, but he is not the Lee Weller whom I knew!"” And itis thus that mostof the points so far made by the accused’s attorney have tumbled down around the founda- tion that was built for them. The other testimony brought was substantially the same as testified to previously. The crowd around the Federal building | was much smaller than nsual. The pub- lic curiosity in Butler seems to be on the wane and ready for a new face to gloat on. The prisoner begins to show the effect of imprisonment or worry. This was ap- parent vesterday to people who had not ~een him befo: There are a few fine lines on his face and his eyes look weary and anxious, Itisstill very rarely that be allows any expression to creep into his face. When the case opened Attorney Dono- hoe a-ked that the complaint and warrant in the Arthur Preston case againstthe prisoner be read, in order that the pris- oner might be informed. intended to take the murder charge up next. He read them himself, going re. peatedly over the names **Harwood, alias Butler, alias 8. Burcess, alias Sampson, alias Bair, alias Lee Weller. Though these names were emphasized Butler never winced. The court—What is your frue name? Batler, who had remained standing, as ordered, during the reading of the ofhcial papers, leaned over and consulted his at- torneys. Then he | “Don’t believe I'll answer,” he sald quietly. ““You stand mute,”’ said the court. Butler sat down, and Attorney Cormac resumed the read'ng of the denositions aiscontinuea last Wednesday. The dero- sition of Louis Beebe of Gienbrook, N. §. W., tola of seeing Weller and another man whom he could not identify going into the mountains, and the next day saw ‘Weller come out alone. Peter Farreil deposed to finding some waterproof clothing belonging to Weller and to recovering it. A deposition of Detective James McHat- tie, dated November 15, wasalso read, tell- ing of the discovery of evidence, the iden. tification of Butler, which led up to the suspicion of him as the murderer, which has been so often related. Attorney Block objected to the reading of the deposition when McHattie was present. The court overruled this, saying he could cross-examine McHattie on” the deposition latet. 5 Robert Pay ne’s deposition was that he was 8 waterman at Newcastle and that he ulled Butler out to the Swanhiida in his Eon. He identitied the phbotograph (ex- hibit F) as the man be had puiled out, and deposed further Lhflullar was very anxious to receive the vaflise, which had dropped into the water. Weller, as Butler claimed to be, told him he wanted to go to San Francisco. Alfred John Hill’s deposition was to the effect that he saw Butler in Newcastle November 19, and that he showed him a gold bangle. He afterward in the sailors’ boarding-house, when he went into But- shifted in Lis chair and began to arise, | He said that he | w a razor, again showed { him the gold bangle, a gold watch, & ladies’ ring, a South American silver dol- lar, & revolver and 1wo boxes of cartridges, a master’s certificate marked Lee Weller and a certificafe that he had been mate on the ship Wooster. | Attorney Flock objected to the compe. | | ler’s room to bor tency of the depositions on the several brief, that no proper diplo- cate was attached; that Con- I . Bell 1s not a diplomatic or | consu the province in which the crime was committed; that the first paper of the bundle ofdepositions pur- give a list of the articles found s possession is not paged; that i they were not competent under the | grounds, statute of 1892 or of the statutes of the United States; that there was notning to show that all the page-s in the bundle were inciuded and consequently not suf- ficient identification. The court called attention to the fact | that the papers were all attached by a | string through a hole in the corner, the | ends sealed and seal unbroken. He over- | ruled this cobjection and Attorney Block | took the usual exception. | Senior First-class Detective John Roche, J\\'huc me from Sydney via London and Washington, D. C., with requisition papers | rested on the Swanhilda, gava testimony | corroborative of Sergeant Bunner’s iden- | tifying the many trinkets, papers, books, eic., found in the valise Butler had when arrested. He identiied Lee Welier's handwriting; said he was familiar with it; that the signatures on the certificates and in certain books was Weiler's and not Butlar's. He detailed the hunt in the mountains for the bodies of Weller and Preston and followed up the clews till hey fastened on Butler. He handled all the grewsome things in the valise, and identified them one by one as belonging to Weiler. He swore to a persopal ac- quaintance with Captain Lee Weller and that Butler is not Lee Weller. He testi- fied to his thorouzhly identifying Weller when Weller was dug out of his grave, | partly on account of the black curly beard on his face. The cross- examination by™Attorney Block brought out admissions from Roche | that his identitication of a number of arti- | cles in the valise was not of his own per- | sonal knowledge, but what other persons told him; that he had never seen Captain Weller write or sign his name, but that be bad seen the captain’s signature many times and seen it sworn (0 by others. He swore he was positive e knew Weller's signature. Further cross-examiration brought out the fact that a towal reward of £200 had been offered and aiready paid in connec- tion with the tracing and 1dentification of Butler or Harwood and that £1001s still offered by the Government for his con- viction. In order to strengthen his familiarity with the evidence and with the entire scene of the several wmurders charged against the prisoner, a blackboard was set up in the courtroom and Detective | Roche was requested to draw on it the | location of tbe many towns mentioned in | the evidence, the railroads, the Blue | Mountains, and merk tne spot where Weller's body was found. Thougch not accustomed to drawing eeo- | graphical maps, Roche took up the chalk and drew a series of lines and dots, which showed that be is no stranger in the coun- try from which he came, or with the mountains, or with the tracks of Butler and his alleged victims into the moun- tains. All eyes were riveted on the detec- tive as he worked, chalk in hand. The examination was continued to next Monday at 2 o'clock, when Attorney Donohoe also gave notice that the charge of the murder of Artkur Preston by But- ler would be taken up. g BUTLER IN A FLASHLIGHT. His Photograph Taken by an Ama- | teur at the City Hall. Bert C. Towne, an amateur photographer living at 212 Hyde street, was about the City Hall yesterday taking pictures of rominent people. He called upon Lee CVeller. alias Butler, etc., and took him by flashlight. BUTLER SINGS. Ballad Rendered for a Graphophone by the Accused Murderer. The Australian murderer last evening succumbed to the inducements of local graphophone proprietors and sang a bal- lad entitled “If Mother Were Here” into one of their machines. The ballad 1s a sentimental ditty, which will have pecu- liar suegéstiveness coming from the lips of a man supposed to be rapidly ap- proaching the zallows. S Preparing to Celebrate. Tae Tyrone Fermanagh aud Donegal Society met last evening at the Columbia building and elected the jollowing officers for the ensu- 1ng year: ' President, John Deveney; vice-president, B. Gorman; reco;ding secretary, J. Semple; financial’ secretary, P. Tinney; treasurer, Peter O'Brien; sergeant-at-arme, H Deveney. 1t was decided to give a great celebration at Sheil Mound Park Suuday, Augus: 29, 1897. The following resoiution was adoped: Be it resolved that we, the Tyrone Fermanagh and Donegal Society, appesl 1o all Irishmen of this City to make St. Petrick’s day celebration the greatest event ever held, s the proceeds will €0 toward bullding & grand Irish hall Furthermore, we appesl to_ all Irish societies 10 send delegates to the convention. e Three times as many herrings are con- sumed as any other kind of fish. and arrived here in time to sec Butler ar- | | two hard left-hand body blows that must | | have burt in the | good ring general and kept away till his | LIVELY BOXING AT THE PAVILION Egan, Reay, Reno and Cathcart Come Out Victorious. A Most Successful Conclusion | of (ke First M. A, A. Benefit. Kennedy Knocks Maher Out in the Third Round, After a Most Unequal Contest. ‘Woodward’s Pavilion was crowded last evenidg with those in‘erested in the manly art to witness the series of four- round bouts, six in number, carried out as a benefit to the Manhattan Athletic Club, in order to raise funds for a change of the clubrooms to more commodious quarters. | During the event of the evening there was one knockout, when Joseph Kennedy. | the champion amateur heavyweight of | the Pacific Coast, put Joseph Maher to sleep in the third round. Tha two men were very uneventy matched, and it was | the unanimous consensus of opinion that | the fight should not have been permitted | to last longar than the first round. J. J. M. Killeen acted as referee, G.J. V. | Ferris as master of ceremonies, and Phil | Wand and J. Nofan as judges. Time was | kept by Professor Thomas Killeen, Joseph Hilton and Edward Coleman. | Captain Gillen was on _hand with nine men to preserve order. Four were lefu at the gate and five kept inside. Perfect order was maintained, and the harmony of the affair was helped wonder- fully by the presence of a brass band at Young" Mitche!l’s suggestion. Tne first event was between J. Kenney, | M. A. A, and James'Lawler, unattached. Both weighed in at 125 pounds. They were both inexperience¢ and hopped around in a comical manner. Honors were about even and no decision was given. The second event was very spirited. The principals were M. Egan, M. A. A.. and George Fletcher, O. A. Both wers | supposed lo weigh 130 pounds. Fletcher | was clearly outclassed, but fought gamely, | though floored nearly every round. Egan | was given the decision. The third feature was a set-to between Charles Cathcart, 0. C., and James Ely, C. C. Cathcart weighed about 135 pounds | and Ely much more. Cathcart proved | the cleverer man and punched Ely’s face | with straight right-band jabs till it was | aimost unrecognizable. Ely went to the floor in the first round, but was up and | fresh in three seconds. | In the second reund Ely started in with | farious rushing, bu: was floored and con- | cluled to tight at long range. He tried | the same tactics in the third round, buta | series of teit-hand face jabs made him | more cautious. Cathcart had the best of the battle, though Eiy managed tc get in st round. Catheart | was given the decision. i Chas. Reno, amateur champion feather- weight of the coast, went up against Rob- | ert McCrossen of the Manhattan Athletic Association in the fourth event and came | pretty nearly ting his match. Reno | weighed apout 125 pounds, but McCrossen | was at least ten pounds lighter. The lat- | ter is only 19 years of age, while Renois a fighter of wide experience. Reno had the advantage in the first | round, though McCrossen gave him some good left-handers in the face and was heartily cheered. In the second round Reao rushed his | man 1o the ropes and delivered some good body blows. He was hissed vigor- ously for hitting in a ciinch. His youth- | ful opponent was dazed, but proved a senses returned. As the beil rang he uppercut Reno in‘ the right eye with his left and cut an | ugly gash, from which the blood flowed | profusely. 1 Th- third round was about even. If| anything Reno bad a small advantage, delivering slightly the most blows, ail of which were light. Both men were tired in the last round | but kept at their work well. Renorushed | McCrossen twice and delivered some | heavy blows, but received some hard right-hand hooks on the body and jaw in return. One judze decided the bout a draw and the otuer declared in favor of Reno. The releree awarded the fight to Reno. The filth event was between Gus Koster, M. A. A., and Joseph Reay, O. C. Reay bad the fight all bis own way, the men being evenly matched in weight—about 150 pounds. Koster was knocked down in | the first round and had repeatedly toclinch | to avoid punishment. He fought gamely, though groggy at times, and thongh his face was the hue of a redskin’s he was still in it at the finish. Reay was given the de- cision. The last event was one of the kind that competent judges say does so much to boxing. It was between Joseph Maher of the Manhattan Athletic Club and Joseph Kennedy, the champion amateur heavy- weight of the coast. Maher was fully ten pounds lighter than his opponent, and clearly outciassed. He was sent to earth at the start by a right- band swing on the jaw, but managed to continue. ~Kennedy gave Iim such ter- rific body blows, however, that he was so sick he could hardly reach his corner at the sound of the bell. The fight should have been stopped then. In the second round he was downed twice, was twjce on the ropes and again nearly out. He managed to keep in the fight by active running. T the tnird round Kennedy punished him so severely that he took pity and gave him a chance {o r'st, then stepped in and with a rieht-hand 'swing on the jaw knocked him down. He weakly rose in the ten seconds allotted, and was again nt to earth, this time for good. 10 LIGHT THE HALL, Talk of Establishing a Plant and So Save Ex- penses. The Purpose to Find What Expens: Would Fall Upon the Municipa'ity. Supervisor Rottanzi yesterday proposed to the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors to confer with the Buildings Committee in reference to the lighting of the new City Hall. The idea which he advanced and which received sufficient sanction fromh the other members of the committee to induce them {o consent to a conference with the Buildings Committee | was that the City Hall should be lighted | by a plant owned by the City and County. “It costs $2200 per month,” said Super- visor Rottanzi, “to light the new City Hall. Now I do not believe that any such | expense 1s necessary. 1 have not figured | the champion "did not * prejudice the public against all forms of | k- isfied that we can easily getall the in- formation that we desire. We have some- thing of a plant in the boilers, etc., in the basement. Buppose that we could pro- | vide the light needed at an expense of | $600 per month? It might be necessary 1o put on three extra men to do the work. There would be other expenses as a mat- ter of course. But suppose that we could save say $1600 per month, approximately, for the City und County’ by providing & public plant?” There was no objection to the proposi- tion advanced by Supervisor Rottanzi, and the conference will take place. ‘There was some discussion before the Finance Commitiee also as to whether the lighting of the streets last month was not too expensive. Supervisor Rottanzi believed that under the resolution of the | board the lamps were lizhted one more night than was requisite, and that this | meant an expense of §1000 to the City | Whether the company had sufficient noti- !

BtTdE’s But the discussion concerning the two chairs furnished by Mr. Noian for the Southern police station ata cost of $2 each was resumed. It wasdev:loped that they are very luxurious and very orna- mental; in fact, that there is no furniture | equally as good in the new City Hal They are of solid oak, with leather lining; they tip without squeaking, and are 8 prime article, but are such chairs needed at the Southern police station? That wes the question, and remuined still the ques- tion after the Finance Committee had finished talking the matter over. Joseph H. Mogan, ex-Fish ana Game | Cowmissioner for the City and County of | San Francisco, sent in his bili for January, but his case isin the courts, and the corc- mittee found that they had nothing to do with it. Waller Bros. were allowed to furnish the Receiving Hospirel with the much- | Y talked-of ontfit of surgical instruments for $16025. This was a reduction in the price | which the City was to pay from ; Max Gumpel’s bill for $300 for services | § as a handwriting expert upon the trial of | Becker and Creegan was rejected.

Ia fact, he said he felt well enough to do it then snd there. Accompanied by his brother Joe and George Green the champion went to the ! Otympic Club at 1 r. M. to engage in a game of handball. Quarters were {00 crowded there on ac- count of the number of admirers present, and it was found necessary after a few rounds of light boxing to go down to Ryan’s handball court on Howard street There Corbett entered into his favorite. game with Jim Nealon. Three brisk games were played and 1n a!l of them the champion came out victorious. It is conceded by expert judges that if Corbett could masterea good underhand stroke he would mak one of the crack handball players of the country, but .his general sysiem is to use an overhand sweep. Consequently he is unable to mas- ter many of the shooting balls that must be met by an underhand stroke. It is also the general supposition that if josh”” Nealon so | much nor run his shoulder up against | Nealon while he tries to take a ball that { the ex-Assess r and retired athiete would have an excellent chance of defeating the great pugilist. Nealon himself good-humoredly asserts that if tae fighter is up to na'f as many tricks in the ring as he is in the handball cou-t nobody will ever be able to hold a candle to him. In the evening Jim went out to his parents’ home. His trainer, McVey, was taken in tow by acrowd of sports and shown the sights of the town. McVey atiracted attention wherever he went, as his pbysique is fully as magnifi- | cent as Corbett’s. There will be a big crowd at the Chutes | Sunday afternoon and evening to see Cor- | bett box with McVey and others. Mon- day evening the party will start for Shaws Springs. ————————— An Entertaining Musicale, A piano recital, xiven by Emil Steinegger and pupils and assisted by Mrs. Eve Wren and Frauk Coflin, drew & good-sized audience last night at Goiden Gate Hall Those who took part were generously applauded.
