The doctor, with the a: ance of the District Attorney as a model, {llustrat- ed the relative positions in whi.a the two brothers probably stood on the morning of January 20 in the kitchen of the Clark house. The doctor made use of the expressions “right half” and “left half” in his explanation, which gave Mr Hogan an opportunity to facetiously insist upon knowing which was Mr. Bell's right half; to which the District Attorney replied with dignity | that it was “better to have one right not countin Town H the o McKenzie dr George Clark this s comparati al of the mu St. H W and sat atstretched t po: and co: drive up from | half than two wrong ones.” The crowd laughed at the sparring tiny S0n-{ ¢ the lawyers.

During Marshal Johnson's cross-ex- amination, while Attorney Hogan was questioning on the matter of foot- prints, District Attorney Bell reached over to examine the shoes, still cov- ered with dried mud, about which there has been so much talk. Attorney | Hogan objected to Mr. Bell’s gaining | sult. Attorney Bell—The People rest. Attorney Hogan—We have no evi- dence to offer. i Attorney Bell—The State submits the case without argument. Attorney Hogan—I want to submit it without argument myself, but I don’'t know that there has been any case produced here. 1 move that the defendant be dismissed. There was an incredulous smile that w half a sneer on the faces of the aundience, now_ as interested as they had been the day before. “On the ground that there has been no proof here in any manner in the world that George Clark committed the ense. There is no testimony wf the fact that he killed this man.” Attorney Bell—Ready for a ruling on the motion for dismissal. The Court—Oh, I deny that motion. Justice Chinn drew paper and pencil wrote: Court of Hot Springs of Napa, State of Cali- *hinn, Justice of the Peace: to me that the offense in the ition mentioned, to wit, been committed, and that -jent cause to belleve the George Willard Clark, . 1 order that he be held to answer to the same, and be not admitted %o bail, and be committed to the custody of the iff of the County of Napa, State of ;lllffll’:]l'.l,-‘l’ of Jii S 2 s 25th day nuary, 1898.

And there wasn't a sound in the courtroom—not & hand-clap, not even the unconscious sigh of relief an au- dience gives when a strain has been remodeled. Those who have accused St. Helena of a tendency to backslide into the old, lawless spirit of ten years ago owe the stanch, decent town an Towns fornia, It appes within der murder, has ip, H apolog Pretty little St. Helena has vindicated heérself. Though her tem- per has been sorely tried by this fes- tering sore—the Clark case—she has ;(‘nnduclwl herself with patience, with trust and with sobriety. She has atoned for the one lapse into barbar- ism. She has redeemed herself. “To which ruling of the court,” At- torney Hogan went on, perfunctorily. “the defendant objects upon the ground that there is not shown, by the testi- mony that has been given to the court, jent cause for making the or- that the court has made. “Court'’s adjourned,” said Justice Chinn. It was just twenty minutes past 3 o'clock. The courtroom was emptied rapidly. Men were satisfied that the murderer should be held for trial. But they had not expected any other re- There was not the slightest dem- AT o lllustrating the Fratricide’s Act. ment the two lawyers stood angrily glaring at each other, each with a firm hand upon exhibit D. The remote cause of the trouble was an indenta- tion along the center of the sole of the right shoe. The Marshal had denied noting a corresponding mark in the tracks which he had been minutely de- | scribing. | Mrs. Clark was called into court for just a moment to identify her hus- band’'s pipe, which was found on the kitchen floor of the Clark house. She | stood, tall and ungainly, while she was | being questioned, answered in mono- | syllables and passed out again. Constable Spurr was the next wit- | ness. He, too, had noted the pecul- | iarity of George Clark’s right foot, | which, turning upon the ankle, has teft an uneven impression, the foot-print slightly depressed on one side. “You placed the shoe in the mud and then saw the tracks?” Spurr was asked | in erc xamination. “No, sir,” he replied decldedly. “The tracks were there first.” “Were there no other tracks?” “Yes; there were tracks of my own feet from the night before, when I had walked in the middle of the road, | but I found that by putting one foot in]‘ one track I could not reach the next | with my other foot. The man who | rn‘ado. those tracks must have been run- | ning.” And the constable, in f{llustration, | leaped from the witness seat almost to | the reporters’ table, to show the space covered at one stride by the murderer in the cold dawn of that day a week ago. The rest of Constable Spurr's testi- mony was corroborative of the Mar- shal's story. Marshal Johnson is an excellent wit- | ness. He is sparing of unnecessary words and yet his testimony makes the best pen picture of the second phase of the Clark case. Mrs. Clark’s evidence on Thursday and the Marshal's on Fri- day, together make up the Clark case. | To any one who reads the words this woman, freely and without compul- sion, uttered yesterday, the motive for George Clark’s crime is clear. The Mar- | shal’s account is simply the logical r. suit of that question of the murderer's to his brother’s wife, “If Will was out of the way would you marry me?” and her answer, “Yes.” For the answer was “ves,” not once, but mary times, though later it became “no,” paitly because Mrs. Clark “want- | ed to lead a Christian life,” but also | because her husband’s brother was of | a quarrelsome nature, and as she told him, “I've lost all love for you; you've | been so mean to me.” | With Constable Spurr’s testimony the | people’s case ended. The two daugh- | ters of Mrs. Clark, who had been sworn | the day before as witnesses, and who sat in a room above the hall with their mother, an unhappy, dejected, pitiable trio, waiting te be called down into the crowded courtroom, were spared the or- deal. i There was an expectant pause, and | then the following dialogue took place: | | grief. He bli {and tha | possession of the shoes and for a mo- | onstration. The prisoner, who has sat | for two ¢ perfectly still, apparently less interested than ~ny other person in the hall, made not the slightest change in his attitude. Hi low, un- healthy, troubled face showed not the least expression of disappointment or ked as he sat gazing dully before him, his narrow-chested, slight figure curled up in his chair. George Clark looked as though he were thinking, or trying to" think, which effort must be purgatory to his defective intelligence. It appears as though he were only just awakening to a comprehension of what he has been and what he has done. At all events the deep lines of trouble in that wretched face betoken a sincere re- morse. And that remorse—despite the horror of his double crime, the long, slow killing of his brother’s honor, and | | the short, sure shot that crashed through the skull just above that brother’s left temple—that remorse o m be the coward's shrinking from the consequences to himself of his cruel act, but it has also, I believe, a grain in it of that exquisite soul-re- pentance which is the beginning of atonement. MIRTAM MICHELSON. REFUSED A KISS, HE ADMINISTERS A SLAP. H. Maitland Kersey Accused of Assaulting a Cook and Arrested in a Suit for Damages. NEW YORK, Jan. 28—H. Maitland Kersey, formerly the agent of the White Star line in this city and who is now the head of the Klondike Mining Syndicate, | composed of well-known European capi- talists, was arrested last night in a suit for $5000 damages for alleged assault brought against him by Julia Gleason, his former cook. The arrest took place in the corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where Mr. Kersey had gone to at- tend the Manufacturers’ Association ban- quet. Mr. Kersey gave bail in $5000 cash to the Deputy Sheriff and took part in the dinner without further interruption. Mr. Kersey's lawyers have put in an answer denying the complaint. The ai- legation made in the complaint is that Mr. Kersey attempted to kiss his cook, ause she prevented him he slapped her face. ——— PETTIGREW’S RESOLUTION AGAINST ANNEXATION.

Native Soldiers Walt for Hours Before Moving Agsinst the Murderers. Special Dispatch to The Call TACOMA, Jan. 28.—The steamship Breamer brings news that fanatical Chinese pirates claiming to be in-| spired by heaven attacked Haiphong | with the intention of exterminating the Europeans. They were 300 strong and began their attack early in the morn- ing of December 16, meeting but little | opposition from the native troops until | late in the forenoon, when part of the | town had been destroyed by fire and at least three Frenchmen had been | killed. The pirates carried banners pro- claiming their mission. Inscriptions reading: “Let us obey the order from heaven,” “Exterminate the Euro- | peans,” “Exterminate the Nguyuen | Dynasty of Maca,” were carried, and | on the bodies of the dead were found chips of bamboo bearing the charac- ters, “Soldiers of Heaven.” Landing parties attacked the town from four quarters, immediately apply- ing the torch. made rapid progress toward the heart | of the city. One band was met by a | detachment of 200 native troops and | repulsed. Another killed E. Gaulhier.i a Frenchman, after pursuing him for | some distance, and brutally hacked | his body almost beyond recognition. | An employe of Faussemange, a French | merchant, was fatally injured, and an- | other unnamed Frenchman killed. The | road leading to the cemetery was left a | waste. | The native troops were slow to re- | | spond and even to learn of the attack, | | though the plrates had been for eight | days encamped at Elephant Hill, mak- ing no secret of their intention to at- | tack the town and proclaiming their heaven-inspiring mission. When the, | troops did realize the gravity of the situation they responded in small num- bers, and reinforcements had to be summoned before the invaders were re- | pulsed. Attacks were made upon severalnear- | by and small posts. Much property was destroyed, the residences of Euro- pean families being the special object of the pirates’ hatred.
