He was nervous and excited and the dire dread of the pos- sibility of being held to answer before a higher court for the commission of his alleged offense against the edness of Judicial oath stamped his features with unmistakable signs of grave fear. While Attorney McEnerney was making an earnest plea In Braunhart's behalf Bammy ed several egotistical smiles. When' reference was made to his Sena- torfal career by his own counsel Sammy's chest swelled out so far that it would have been no_trick at all to break basalt blocks on it. Sammy’s airy bearing under- | went a sad change when Attorney Frank | McGowan commenced to get into action. Sammy made heroic efforts to bear up under the trying ordeal, but when Sen- ator McGowan began to apply the lash unmercifully the Knight of the Buggy Robe winced visibly and turned to his counsel for consultation. Senator Mc- Gowan pictured Braunhart as a scandal- monger who rolled everybody's reputation under his glib tongue, a veritable wind- bag who would rather tear somebody’s character to pieces than_ do anything else in the world.

McGovern, both of whom denied that they ever said that Senator Dunn’s repu- tation was bad or that they had ever dis- cussed Senator Dunn’s reputation with Braunhart. In arguing the case Senator McGowan ?md the defendant the courtesy of re- ‘erring to him as “my friend here.” “Not my friend,” sald Braunhart, as imperiously as if he was Oom Paul in- stead of a defendant being tried for one of the most revolting offenses on all the black catalogue of crime. ““Thanks,” retorted McGowan in a sat- isfled fashion: *“I would feel humiliated if T had to accept your friendship.” Sammy’s features took on a crestfallen aspect and for the remainder of the ar- gument he did not even lean over to whls&er to Attorney McEnerney. Sena- tor cGowan made a very able argu- ment, laying great stress on the fact that Braunhart’s counsel made herculean ef- forts to cloud the real issues in the case by heaping uncalled for vituperation on the head of Senator Dunn.

Syecial Dispatch to The Call. SALINAS, Sept. 21.—The funeral of Sheriff Henry R. Farley, who was killed on Monday night by George Sulsser, was held this morning. All the stores, business houses, black- smith shops and even saloons closed their doors from 9 to 12 o'clock, while on every public bullding as well a8 on all hotels and private residences flags were flying at half mast. Never before has this county secn such a large funeral. Excursions were run from Gonzales, San Lucas and other points south and also from Mon- terey and Pacific Grove, while all country folk for miles around gathered to attend the funeral. In consequence of the inadequateness of the Presbyterian church, where the ser- vices were to be held, the use of the arm- ory was obtained, and before the hour for the ceremonies to commence the place was crowded. The public schools were closed for half a day and the children marched in solemn procession behind the hearse. The religious services at the armory were conducted by Revs. George McCormick, 0dd Fellows had charge of the funeral, while the Native Sons acted as escort. Both county and city officials turned out. Something never before seen in the his- tory of this place was the suspension of business in Chinatown. All of the Chi nese stores were closed during the fore- noon, and in the Erucesskm a great many Chinese were to be seen. Several of the “companies” sent floral some of the members even viewed the remains as they lay in state at the ar- mory. One and all throughout the whole county loved Sheriff Farley. Fully 3000 people attended the funeral, and tha pro- cession was about an hour in passing a given point. Mrs. Farley, the aged mother of the deceased, tells of a touehing scene that took place yeslerdaf'. Mrs. Farley was informed that two little boys wished to see her. They appeared to be not over 9 years old, barefooted and poorly clad, looking as if they had no mother to care for them. Bach carried a tiny bouquet of wild flowers. One of them, who acted as spokesman, sald: ‘‘We liked Mr. Farley just as good as everxbody. We got these little bunches of flowers. They ain't much among all of them big bouguets and things, but it's all we could get. Won't you please take them and put them on th’le‘hgra.ve for tuT;" X e story tol y__the little fellows deeply touched Mrs. Farley’'s heart. She told them that she greatly appreciated their simple offering and would do as they requested. They went away satis- fied, after taking a farewell look at their dead friend. ELDER SUISSER ALSO LODGED IN JAIL SALINAS, Sept. 2L—Charles Suisser, €ldest son of Jacob Suisser and brother of the slayer of Sheriff Farley, was ar- rested this afternoon in Blanco, a small town west of this city.
