Obata Rinjiro, a Japanese importer of slave women, was placed on trial in United States Dustrict Judge De Haven’s court yesterday, and after the witnesses for the prosecution had testified he saw that there was no hope of an acquittal, and by the advice of his attorney, M.

Harry Hoffman, the Brother of the Dead Man, Put on ~ the Stand. Officers Russell, Moran and Colen, and H. Ferrenbach the Other Witnesses. The preliminary examination of Theo- | dore A. Figel on the char:e of homicide was resumed in Judge Campbell’s court | yesterday morning. Officer Russell was | the first witness called and he explained a new diacram which he had made of the | premises of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co. Harry Hoffman, a brother of the de- ceased, testified that he had seen Isaac Hoffman the night before bis death, and that he was in good health and spirits. He saia bis brother was right handed and never owned or carried a revolver. At- torney Louderback objected to this evi- dence as being negative, and claimed that it could not be offered to prove that Hoffman had not carried a weapon on the night he died. He cited a decision from the Supreme Court in support of the objection. Judge Campbell overruled the | objection, saying ‘‘the Supreme Court probably does hand down some good law, but the decisions don’t cover all cases. Common sense rules my judgment, and when I admit evidence my action is backed by reason.” When Nizht Watchman Ferrenbach was put on the stand Judge Murphv asked ; that he be sworn. Juage Campbell said that he had been sworn before, and asked if the attorneys were goitg back on the vroceedings at the offices of Hoffman & Rothchild. Mr. Murphy replied that he considered them perfectly legal, but that he wished to bave Mr. Ferrenbach re- sworn. General Barnes then objected to the witness being examined on the matters which had been touched on in bis testi- mony at the store;~and said that the taking of the defendant and witness to the | scene of the alleged murder had been ob- jected to by him, butif the proceedings were regular, as the prosecution claimy, the testimony of the witness taken at that time could not be gone over. ‘I he court overrnled the objection and Ferrenbach went over his story as to how be hada discovered Hoffman on the even- ing he was shot. He further testified that on that evening he met Figel returning to the store at about 6:10; saw him meet Hoffman and the two go toward the door of the store. He located on the diagram the places where he had found the body, pistol and a bunch of kevs. The property clerk of the Police Department, J. F. Moran, was examined and showed to the court the revolver found in the conversa- tion-room, a hat, bunch of keys and a number of articles found on the tody of Mr. Hoffman. He identified the revolver and a waich, but when questioned by At- torney Ach said he could not swear that the keys and other articles were the same which had been given him by Officer Shaw, who bad delivered them into his keeping, He said tney had been out of his possession several times; they werein evidence at the Coroner’s inquest and De- tective Crockett had them for some time. He had made no marks on them whereby he might identify them, and while to the best of his knowledge they were the same he had received originally he could not swear to the fact. 0On cross-examination General Barnes brought out the fact that the witness had closely examined the revolver when it was given to him and there was blood on it, on the left side of the barrel principally, bugl extending back to the guard. Attorney Ach, in the redirect examination, ques- tion:d Mr. Moran closely as to the blood stains and endeavored to ascertain what free from stains. The witness testified that when le gave it to Detective Crockett the blood was still on the weapon, and when returned to him the stains were gone. From the testimony it appeared that the pistol haa been handled rather carelessly by the officers. and no pains were taken 10 keep the stains from being rubbed off. Ferrenbach was recalled and explained the manner 11 which he had picked up the ypistol. Louderback conducted the cross-examination, ant! Mr. Ferrenbach { testified that he had met Mr. Umber at about 6:15, after he hed seen Figel meet Hoffman. He also stated picked up the pistol the blood he had vot on his hands from the body was entirely dry and none could have stained the re- volver. | _ Officer Colen was sworn, but coart ad- | jourued before he gave any testimony. | Will Marry and Hunt for Gold. | If Their Present Plans Fail They Will Go to the Cold Klondike Instead, One of the pres;ective seekers for gold in the newly discovered fieldsof Peru is Jennie R.

Miss Thomas is a teacher and prac- titioner of psychology, living at 2909 Mis- sion street, and Dr. L. L. Sherrod is the gentleman whom she is to marxy. They dia, which will leave some time the latter part of the month. When seen by a CALL reporier last evening Miss Thomas was very enthusiastic over her proposed trip, She said: “I have had a number of talks with gentlemen interested in the venture, and our plans are made to go on the Zzalan- dia if she will make the trip. Dr. Sher- rod is in communication with some capitalists, and will probably arrive at an agreement whereby we will go as their agent; but wheilisi tnis plan works out or not we will go to Paru.” I know noth- ing of mining myself, of course, but the doctor is a mining exvert, and has at present some valuable interests in Colo- rado, but lack of capital and proper rail- road lacilities prevent him realizing on them. “For the past twelve years I have made a study of mental science at various insti- tutions and am a graduate of the Chicago School of Psycholo:y. The study of the native Indians of Peru, their habits and characteristics and the research into the bidden history of the myster.ous country will be very interesting to me, and I an- ticipate much pieasure and profit from my sojourn there. I will provably write stories of some of my experiences in the country and of the people and toeir habits. “‘The passenger agent of the Zealandia told me that the ship would surely make the trip if a party of 500 people takes passage. There have been a number of applications for passage and twenty-five were booked yesterday, so the chances are that the required numpber will be secured. In case this boat does not make the trip Dr. Sherrod and [ will try to find some other means of getting us there. If ‘we fail entirely to make arrangements to get to Peru we will make tne journey to. Alaska and join the gold-hunters on the Klondike. i’ersona]ly prefer to go to Peru, and consider the chances there much better tnan in Alaska. However, if we are unable to carry ouc our plan of go- ing to Peru, the Kiondike i open to us, and we will try our fortunes up there.” .. —— La Estrelia’s Social.

Whils Awaiting His Trial He Was Beleased on “ Straw” Bonds and Absconded. | 1. C. Davis, alias Harry Silverberg, alias Jobn W. Drayton, who, according to re- cent dispatches from Washington, was thrown into a prison in Germany for crooked work, was released through lhci eftorts of the American Consul at Freiberg | ana was escorted out of the country, is well known to the police here. He married Miss Maude Craig, the daughter of a wealthy botel man in Roch- eater, N. Y,, and while cn their wedding trip at St. Paul, Minn., Davis lost nearly all his own and his wife’s money at faro. To provide funds for continuing the wedding trip Davis pawnad his wife's| diamonds, and when they reached this City in June, 1895, they were stranded. Davis forged a number of drafts on New York banks and started out to pass them. He visited different jewelry and furniture | stores, purchased a small article, giving one of ihe forged drafts in payment and receiving the balance between tne cost of the article and the amount of the draft. | The police were notified of the forged | drafts, and Davis was arrested on June 20 by Captain Lees and Detectives Coffey and Whitaker, Several charges were booked against him, but only one was heard, It was for passing a fictitious | draft of the United Staies National Bank of Poriland, drawn on the American Ex- | change Bank, New York, for $200,on J. Maconsky. He was held to answer before the Superior Court. His young wife, for whom much sym- pathy was felt, visited him daily in the City Prison and later in the County Jail, released on bonds which proved worthless. Davis naturally jumped his bonds, and bis wife returned to her father in Roches- ter. Previous to that Davis, under the name of Harry Silverberg, had been implcated in forgeries to the extent of $28,000in country, Chief Lees considers him one of the clever st forgers in the United States.
