Brandes was himself on the stand again and sobbed. Drs. G. S. Eastman and H. S. Buteau, as experts, testified that the dura mater taken from the girl’s skull showed beyond dispute evidence of inflamma- tion produced by blows upon tae head. Amos Lunt, for many years high executioner at San Quentin, horrified the accused murderer with a harrowing account of how he has hanged twenty murderers during his experience at the To-day J. E. Harvey, who Brandes testified refused to go after a doctor when he requested him at the time his daughter was found dead, will again be recalled. ‘“We propose to show Harvey’s true connection with the present crime, if such was committed,” said Brandes’ attorney, F. W. Sawyer, last night. “Why did Har- vey skip out so soon after the girl’s death? Why did he stay in hiding in San Francisco until a reporter dug him up? And why was he anxious to go to Canada, leaving the man who had befriend- ed him to fight his own battle?

Godfrey was this afternoon re- called and relterited and emphasized her testimony given at the Coroner's inquest to the effcct that when she was at Brandes’ home on Tuesday night, Novem- er 15, she heard him tell the girl that he ‘would beat her to death if she didn’t find that money.” He had cursed and used pro anguage on that occasion. The surprise of the day, however, was now in order. The defense called Amos Tunt, who for many vears and until two Years ago performed the functions of hangman at San Quentin. That his sud- den appearance in court had a harrowing éffect upon the accused was evidenced by the extreme pallor of Brandes. Once only aid the accused murderer glance at the ex-hangman during his narrative. “I have hanged twenty murderers in my time,” said Mr. Lunt In response to a question from Attorney Bennett, “but I geldom examined the bodies after the trap dropped. 1 have not usually examined the one-nch ropo that is used, because there @re always 80 many people who want a foce of this as a_souvenir. So I do not now of a case where blood appeared on the rope. However, In most cases of hanging there is just a little abrasion found on the neck. “When there wae an execution it was my duty to hang the condemned. I at- !tended to that business. 1 usually went on the scaffold and took the rope down from the beam and examined and tested it. I tested the knot. My ambition was aiways to have everything right and cor- rect. All I had to do then was to place the noose around the neck of the con- demned, pull down the black cap, tighten the noose, take off my hand and give the signal and down it goes. That settles it.” It was hero that Brandes glanced aulck- ly at the ex-hangman and as quickly glanced to the floor again, with an appa- rent shudder. P. 8. Brown, superfor guard at BSan Quentin, was next called. Brown's testimony was even more in- teresting than that of the Frr‘,(‘udlng wit- iness. He testified that he has had made close observations in three cases of judi- clal hangings at San Quentin, particular- 1y in reference to marks on the neck made by the rope. ¥'V\'hm 1};13 rope {8 removed,” sald Wit- ness Brown, I usually found it leaves a yoddish mark or. the neck. In one partic- ular case, four hours after the execution, the mark assumed a still redder color af the cdges, with purple in the center; and finally it becomes a copper color. I also examined the ropes after hanging and never found on them any blood. “In the execution of Theodore Durrant the rope was burned. I asslsted in taking Durrant’s body down. In the latter case and in that 0¥ Harvey Allender 1 found abrasfons on the side of the neck opposite to that on which the knot was fastened. On Durrant’s neck there was an abrasion on the might side, but no blood, and no abrasion on the left side. The knot is ausually under the left ear.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %3 Broadway, March 2L “Guilty.” And Mrs. Gooby did not faint. For the first time in Oakland’s Police Court twelve jurors convicted a woman this afternoon for horsewhipping a man. The precedent for acquitting women, no matter who they are or what they do, caused the knowing ones to predict an acquittal for the lady who chased an at- torney for two blocks with a cowhide a week ago. But they were mistaken. Mrs. Gooby made a splendid witness, but not for herself. Without any prose- cution that same jury would have con- victed her. “I {fttended to lick him,” said Mrs. Goo- by under oath, “and, bless your Honor, 1 aid lick him good and prettily. I laid it on for two blocks and chased him over to Washington street with him running ke a frightened hare.

Scoring of the School Board Brings About a Crisis and a Threat of Personal vio- lence. Alameda Office San Francisco Call, 1428 Park street, March 21 Dr. Charles L. Tisdale, member of the Alameda Board of Education and candi- date for re-election, has threatened to an- nihfliate Brainard C. Brown, secretary of the Municipal League and official reporter of the United States Circuit Court. Mr. Brown has issued a defi to the pugllistic physician and has challenged him to meet him in combat at any time, but specifies that the encounter must take place on some public street of this erstwhile peace- ful city. All Alameda is excited over the prospects of a gory outcome of the first genuine gun fired in the municipal cam- paign. Politics 1s at the bottom of the trouble. Those who predicted a peaceful election were false prophets. The quietude that followed the nomina- tions of the two conventlons was mis- leading. It was but the lull before the storm, and the political tempest broke forth in all its fury last night when Brainard C. Brown, who was scheduled me a hildren and we lived/on 10 cents a_day and” At this point Prosecuting Attorney Leach and the lady's counsel, Mr. Hol- | | R O S A S SRR SRS S N S e - ] man, both took a hand in imploring the| court to stop the lady’s volubility. Mr, | Leach ¢id not see what past litigation had | to do with disturbing the ¥c7u:e and Mr. | Holman was anxious that the lady should | not voluntarily turn into a witness against | herself. But it was all in vain. ~ Judge Smith cried “Stop, madam,” and Attor- neys Leach and Holman both tried to a check on the witness’ tongue, and Bai- 1iff Sam Mitchell tried to keep the lobby in order; but above everything could be heard the high-pitched testimony of Mrs. Gooby as she told how she laid it on and on and on for two blocks with the flee- ing attorney ahead of her. 7hile the witness was taking breath Prosecuting Attorney Leach asked her if she had any intention of disturbing Mr. Mitchell’s peace before she went to his offic “Intentlon?” she sald. “Well, you bet I had intention. 1 intended to do it for a week. Why, bless your Honor, what did you think T was going there for?” While she again taking breath Mr. Leac ed her why she got the whip. “Why," she velled, “I got it to lick him with, and I licked him. 1 told the gentle- men ‘at the store that T wanted it to beat gome fine rugs with, but that (pointing to Mitchell) was the 'fine rogue I wanted to_beat, and I made him dance, you bet.”” | In vdin her attorney tried to prevent | her_convieting herself. But she courte- ously told him to sit down—she would do the talking. And you deserve it all,” she said, shak- ing her hand in Attorney Mitchell'’s face, “and if 1 only had the whip here, ng the presence of his Honor and these po- licemen, I would give you more of it, I would. ‘Do you think I would lie?” look- ing at her attorney. “You told me to tell the truth to the court, and I'm telling it, It's in my heart and God knows it, and if ever I get another chance I'll lick him again.” When it was all over Judge Smith read to the jury the section referring ‘to dis- turbances of the peace. It sounded very cold and convincing, especlally the phrase “by loud or unusual nofse or offensive conduct or threatening to fight or fight- ing on the public streets is guilty of mis- demeanor."” Then the twelve men filed out and for once a verdict was returned that seemed to harmonize wonderfully with the lady's testimony and the section of the code read by the Judge. On Thursday morning Mrs. Gooby will nppear for sentence. which must not_exceed $200 or more than ninety days in jail. Her attorney informed the court he would make a motion for a new rial, Attorney Holman went from the Police Court to the Superior Court and there flled a suft for divorce on behalf of Mrs. Gooby. She desires a separation from her husband, substantial alimony and also the homestead in West Oakland. Women’s Missionary Society.

While the speaker made passing men- tion of all connected with the alleged | “ring” the burden of his remarks were | to the effect that Dr. Tisdale was the | leader of the quartet. The speech and | subsequent developments have created a decided sensation. Threats of criminal libel flll the alr, and citizens await with breathless anxicty the final clash of the principals. Dr. Tisdale did not learn that he had been assalled until late in the night. He | hastened to the nearest telephone and awoke Brown from a slumber that was apparently sound and peaceful, judging | from the time it took Brown to respond. | Srown, who is an_expert stenographer, grasped his notebook and made a record | of the conversation. To-day he gave it to the press with some of the alleged lan- guage used represented by dashes and exclamation points. Following is a trans- cript of the record: Dr. Tisdale—Mr. Brown, I am informed that you made an attack on me at the ;\I{lfinlclpnl League this evening. Is that Mr. Brown-it 1s. sdale—And T understand th: - tend to publish t? SetEon Erown—I do. Isdale—I want you to unders that I have stood ail the ok sense from a man of your caliber that I am going to stand. And I notify you now that If you publish any statement, such as 1 understand you made, I will hold you personally responsible. Brown—All right, doctor. Tisdale—And tell you right now that I will sue you, and if I meet you on the street I will lick out of you. I want you to understand that, sir. What I sald Brown—All right, doctor. shall be published 1f I can find a paper ublish it. Have you anything that will pu more to say? Tisdale—That's all. Brown—Then good-by, doctor. Mr. Brown evidently ‘went back to bed and slept well, for he was up bright and early this morning and had a chip on his shoulder. He s satisfied he has sufficient command of his props to ““do” the doctor. This morning he gave the following sl;{'ned communication to the newspapers: In return for Dr. Tisdale's courtesy I desire to save him all unnecessary trou- ble, and to prevent him from wasting his valuable time in seeking me out for the purpose of executing his threat, 1 will make him this offer: If he wili kindly name a place on the public streets of Ala- meda and a time within a week and.with- in the hours of the day when I am usually in Alameda, I will meet him unarmed and will give him the opportunity to ‘lick Bift of the board, and the fact that he still retains possession’ thereof (and probably those facts alone) have given rise to a rumor that the doctor’s professional income is materially | increased by his possession of this power. do not believe this. I am informed by those who are in a position to judge that his prac- tice is injured rather than benefited by his membership in the School Board; that his coarseness of manner before teachers and puplis and his overbearing offensiveness gen- erally in his touch with the School Depart- ment have not tended to improve his future. Be that as it may, this rumor having reach- ed his ears, he vigorously denles that his practice bas increased one dollar by reason of his official position. He loudly and re- peated asserts that he has on his books but four patients who are teachers in the de- partment, whereas prior to his membership in the School Board he had eight. He says that instead of his officlal position being of financial benefit, it Is a positive injury to him. For instead of seeking the professional patronage of the teachers and thelr familles he !5 constrained to repel it for fear the teachers may consider that they have a “pull” on him. The doctor’s friends should accept his state- ments and should decline to support him for re-eiection. They should see to it that he be not allowed to thus sacrifice himself for the public good. And they should go further and appoint a guardian over him, for a physiclan who will for a term of years persist in en- deavoring to hold an office at 2 financial loss needs a guardian law should be thrown around those depend- ent upon him. They should not be allowed to suffer by reason of the disposition of the husband and father to waste his energies in working for an unapprectative publio. The Municipal League tendered Mr. Brown_a vote of thanks for his effort, coupled with the {ndorsement of the League for the sentiments expressed. Dr. Tisdale applied to District Attorney against Mr. Brown for criminal libel. The District Attorney stated he would issue the complaint if Tisdale insisted upon it, but advised that it was not good politics to carry a grievance of the kind into the courts. Tisdale returned to Alameda this even- ing nursing his wrath. fully made up his mind whether he will endeavor to punish Brown witn the stern arm of the law or take the matter in his own hands and carry out his threat to “Knock — out of” his political enemy. —_— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
