If T le, I am sorry; it is the fault of the head and not of the heart, because I don’t want to. When Oliver came to that part in which Adams sald he had been per- | suaded to lie, first by one man and then another, he remarked, “This does not necessarily refer to Mr. Gibbon.” At this fiing Gibbon exploded like a powder magazine into which an elec- tric spark had been discharged, and in response to his vehement protestatiogs about being referred to in this manner by the counsel for the defense, all such further professional courtesies were prohibited by the chairman. In another portion of the cross-examin- ation of Adams occurred the following: If Mr. Webb swore that he never told you he got the $60 you would believe him in preference to your own recollection, wouldn’t you? A.—I might have been mistaken, just.| like I have been in some other things. Now, this is God Almighty’s truth that 1 am stating. Q.—You may have been mistaken? A.—Yes. When Oliver had concluded Director Poor made the foilowing prefatory re- marks in introducing the resolution already mentioned: “I think that even if the gen- tleman argued the matter for a week it would make no difference. The mem- bers are just as ready to vote now as they would be if arguments were made. As far as the final outcome is con- cerned, I am very much in favor of dis- missing this case just where it is. To that end I wish to present this reso- lution.” Bartlett said he seconded the resolu- tion with much pleasure. Director McInerney made an amend- ment to the effect that all the charges against Mr. Braly be also dismissed. Chairman Davis ruled the amend- ment out of order on the ground that | Braly’s case had not yet been formally while his erstwhile persecutors, Attor- | ney Thomas E. Gibbon and Pastor Burt Estes Howard in particular, fumed, foamed and frothed at the re- sult of their desperate and despicable attempt to ruin the accused already stated in these columns. for reasons | ‘When the result of the vote was an- nounced the serpents, the Jekyll-Hyde leaders of the League for Better City Government, way to their natural instincts and hab- its, hissed. The finale in the Webb proceedings was not reached to-night without dis- plays of the most intense animosity on the part of the prosecution, which took its defeat with ill-concealed chagrin. also a sore disappointment for the syndicated Times-Herald-Ex- in the action of the Board of cation to-night. With their one eyndicated volce they.declared at the t Davis was elected chairman of the board that the power of Webb in that body had been broken. Admitting that they were correct in this, they must now admit, if they wish to avoid stul- tifving themselves, that Webb was fairly and fully acquitted by the vote of the board to-night. In closing the case for the prosecu- tion, when the-sesslon of the board be- gan, Attorney Oliver proceeded to read part of the testimony given by Adams in the Superior Court, all of Adams’ testimony having been admitted in this Investigation. The portion read by Oliver was the cros:pexamination of Adams by Attorney E. A. Meserve, in part as follows: Adams—I understood Mr. Webb to say that he recelved it from Mr. Axtell—$60 of the Cooper money. Now, if I am wrong, God Almighty knows I would not try to convict any Mving person, and 1 don’t, nor have done it in ali my life. If I tell a lie, it isn't because I want to. It isn't my motive, but It is because I have been sick and 11l and have been per- suaded, first by one man and then by another—the City Government League and then another league—and have been under the doctor's care for three or four There wa press giving | who train with | considered. Director Braly objected to the amendment on the ground that no charges have yet been preferred against him, as only a resolution re- questing that charges be against him had been adopted by the board. He spoke against the resolu- tion and in favor of hearing argu- ments. Chairman Davis spoke in favor of arguments. Director Poor declared that he had no desire to choke off anything that anybody might want to say, and added that he did not believe that any argu- ments that might be made would pro- duce the least effect on or change the vote of any member. Gibbon agalin got the floor, and tried to argue on the merits of the main is- sue, intimating, among other things, that if the board did not convict Webb | the people would be in no humor to vote the bonds asked by the Board of Education for improvements in th school department. Director McEnerney signified his willingness to forego arguments, and the roll was called. When it came Di- rector Mathis’ turn to vote he explain- | ed his position by saying that as the Superior Court had decided Mr. Webb was not guilty, he felt that he could not vote otherwise than in the affirma- | tive.

Arrangements had been made for feeding from 10,000 to 15,000 people. The viands prepared included ten steers, two bears, two buffolaes, four elk, seven antelopes, seven moun- tain sheep and 200 'possums.

He was wound- ed, and In trying to escape was shot dead. Among the prisoners is the father of the young woman. He was the dynamiter of Arangueren’s band.

After the invasfon of Havana Province by the rebels heand Colonel Raoul Arango, another young officer, conducted daring and unusually successful operations in the immediate neighborhood of Havana City. Arangueren was so much op- posed to accepting autonomy as a set- tlement of the present war in Cuba that when Colonel Ruiz, a personal friend, | | went to him from General Blanco, with an offer of peace, Arangueren ordered the court-martial and execution of the Spanish officer.

There were children, too, | for school was out, and on one corner a | father stood hoiding his baby high in | his arms, while a little farther toward the Town Hall, in an invalid chair, sat a woman, who had been brought out | that she might not miss the sight. } The whole day has been taken up | with Mrs. Clark’s examination and cross-examination. All day she sat so near to George Clark that he could touch her if he stretched out a hand, | repeating words that might scorch a] woman's lips. Yet her voice, thoughj weak and subdued at first, showed no'| emotion. She had the grace to hide her face behind a thick black veil, and she spoke in so low a tone that her words ‘were scarcely audible. But if | Mrs. Clark were a sensitive woman—a | sensitive Mrs. Clark would be a para- dox—I know she would have endured enough in this one day’s pillorying to atone for the horrible life her words made shamefully vivid. 3 Mrs. Clark had an opportunity to| avoid the repefition of that unspeak- ably shameful story she had a\readyi told. ‘When District Attorney Bell's inquiries 8howed that he intended to| question the woman as to her relations with her brother-in-law, Attorney Ho- gan interfered and asked Justice Chinn to instruct Mrs. Clark that she need not answer the District Attorney’s | questions if she didn’t want to. Mrs. Clark sat with downcast eyes, her profile, which, by the way, is not so bad, dimly seen through her thick veil, while the lawyers wrangled. Jus- | tice Chinn advised her that answering | the question was optional. Then he sald: “Do you wish to an- swer?"” “I want to do what's for my own best,” Mrs. Clark answered, in a low, complaining voice and sighing heavily. | “Ot course, it's very painful for me to | go over my past life. But everybody knows it, and I might as well tell it.” And she did. She told particulars, under the District Attorney’s cross- questioning, that a normal woman would have suffered martyrdom before admitting. She told of the beginning | of the vile history. She told of George | Clark’s boyhood, when he was a pupil at the school she taught in Iilinois, and he would make the fires and in a gen- eral way do janitor work for the school | marm. She told of her marriage to her husband, when she was 25 and William Clark was 23 and George, the murder- er, was a lad of perhaps 13. She told of the long years during which she out- raged the simplest canons of decency. She described scenes with the murder- er, when she called for her daughter’'s interference, but she admitted that for years there had not been even resist- ance -on her part to George Clark’s making his brother’s home an abom- inable, bestial place.

THE LAWYERS WRANGLE WHILE CLARK SITS BY TAKING LITTLE IIITEHEST.; Bitter Fight Begins in the Justice's Court at St. Helena for the Life of the Fratricide. ST. HELENA, Jan. 27.—Every man in St. Helena and for miles around was, at the preliminary examination of Clark this morning. The little town hall, which conveniently holds about fifty, was packed with people, who pressed up against the railing which divides the little space just large enough to hold five tables, at which sat Justice Chinn, District Attorney Theo- dore Bell, Attorneys Hogan and Beer- stecher for the defense, and the re- porters whom this remarkable case have drawn to pretty, excited little St. Helena. v The crowd was massed in the back part of the hall, and mounted In hast- ily constructed pyramids toward the door. There were boyish faces within two feet of the wooden ceiling. The en- trance to the hall was blocked; on either side, at the open windows, were groups of laborers and farmers who stood patiently straining to catch a word now and then. When Deputy lose a window so that | J€OT ESaUan Mot S | be identified by Peter Yorke as the coat the fresh, cool air might not blow in a draft from one open window to the | other immediately opposite an earnest | eyed fellow, collarless, in a jumper and overalls, with his slouch hat pulled over his dark brows, pleaded with the deputy as a child might. “Oh, don’t shut it,” he exclamined, and the good natured deputy pulled the window only partially closed. Why, even on the roofs of the houses near, on a sort of gangway on the north side, men climbed and crouched and spoke in whispers. It was a mat- ter difficult for the officers of the court even to make their way through the mob. It was a good natured mob, though, but with determination enough in the faces to make one sure that, if there were any chance of George Clark evading justice, they would re- sort'to extreme measures. So far as one can measure that evasive thing, public opinion, the chances are the | was people of St. Helena are not likely to lynch this man. If they were tempted by the chance of his staying here over night, which the Sheriff would not per- mit, and if anything should occur dur- ing the examination to rouse a sus- picion in the minds of these people that Clark might escape, the case will be altered. There was not the smallest demon- stration as the double-seated team con- taining Clark, the Sheriff and his depu- ties drove up the maln street of St. Helena. The crowd was strung out along the sidewalk, watching curious- 1y for the advent of the murderer. The train on its way from Napa to St. Helena halted at Rutherford, and there the Sheriff and his party passed along the road. Every head was turned to see Clark, a pitiably inadequate cen- tral figure for interest so intense. He sat huddled up cn the back seat with the Sheriff's protecting arms about him. Sheriff McKenzie brought Clark through a narrow alley, a back en- trance of the hall. He came into the crowded hall, his dark eyes roving about as if to gauge the degree of hos- tility in the mass of eager faces. Clark looked ill. His face was sal- low, there were circles under his dull, protruding eyes, and the line that marked the jaw was heavy. He sat in court with his heavy blue overcoat but- toned up to the chin. That overcoat, by the way, was the one given to George Clark by Dr. Osborn, which will worn by the man who fled in the early morning along the streets from Wil- liam Clark’s house on January 20. He never looked at Mrs. Clark, who sat beside him, giving her horrible tes- timony; he was nervelessly still, gaz- ing stupidly in front of him, moisten- | ing his lips at times, slowly twirling | his thumbs. But there was not a per- son in the crowded, close courtroom who sat so quietly. Sheriff McKenzie had made arrange- ments to have the warrant on which George Clark was arrested sent by mail to St. Helena. When court con- vened no warrant for Clark’s arrest in St. Helena. The murderer walked with lamb-like meekness out of the back door into the anteroom, and standing there blinking in the sunlight submitted again to arrest. Again the court preliminaries began to unwind their tedious course, when it was dis- covered that the Justice’s name was not
