JUDGE DUNNE I |Glaze’s Lawyer Is Adjudged Guilty of Contempt for “Talking Back.” Defense Fails to Shake the Testimony of Witnesses for the Prosecu- tion in the Murder Case. e Attorney W. W. Foote, when reprimand- ed yesterday afternoon by Superior Judge Dunne for being ten minutes late when court convened, took ocecdsion to.‘‘talk back” and was promptly fined $50 in *‘good and lawful gold coin of the United States of America.” Foote had entertained General Fitzhugh Lee and the soldier’s daughter at lunch and reached the courtrcom at 2:2%5 p. m. instead of 2:15, the hour for reconvening. The trial of Robert E. Glaze on a charge of murder was delayed pending the ar- rival of the defendant’s leading counsel, and Judge Dunne took occasion to warn Foote that a repetition of the offense would be punished. “Your Honor kept me waiting three. quarters of an hour the other morning, retorted Foote angrily. “I was detained on official business,” was the reply of the Judge, “‘and in any case I am not called upon to make an anation to_you.” Well, you Kept me waiting Jjust the "’ retorted Foote. on’t wisn any argument on the mat- ter.” said Judge Dunne in an angry tone, “and if counsel keeps the court waiting again 1 shall take steps to punisn the offense.” | “Your Honor can take any steps you | think fit,” sneered Foote. ““You are fined $0 for contempt of court, | Mr. Foote,” was the answer of Judge Dunne, “to be paid in good and lawtul gold coin of the United States of Ameri- and in default of payment you will g0 to jail at the rate of one day for each two_dollars.” 3 “Will your Honor grant me an appeal? sald Foote. Judge Dunne did not vouchsafe a re- | pIy, but ordered that the trial of Glaze proceed. When court adjourned, Foote de- | tied the Deputy Sheriff to take him into custody, and proclaimed that he would defend him: if the deputy laid hands on him without a writ of attach- ment from the Judge. Clerk Mahony hurried to the chambers loudly | of Judge Dupne to secure the attachment, | when toote, thinking discretion” was the better part of valor, reluctantly parted himself from two “twenties” and one “ten” and the jncident was closed. Silent Witnesses in Court. Strong ‘testimony was introduced at the trial of Gl vesterday by the prosecu- tion, and ence was unimpeached by cross-examination.

Instead of depend- ing upon what we read and hear for a I think -it a better plan to obtain such knowledge from personal observation. “We have got to legislate for them, and to do so properly we should be personally acquainted with them. Others besides my- self have taken the same view and dur- ing the coming season fully. fifty mem- bers of the Senate and House will visit the islands. Quite a number of the legis- lators are now en route to Manila, many of them preferring to leave on the steam- ers sailing from New York. for two months.

Aceording to the story told yesterday by the witnesses at the Coroner’s inquest, John Cordes had made up his mind to kill Kittie Eisel, “clean out” the saloon Pacific street,- where she worked selling drinks on commissfon fo drunken sailors and then to Kkill himself. He fired two shots at Kittie, but his aim was bad. > had better luck, however, with the t shots, for each of the three byllets éd a man, causing the death of two and s sty injuring the third. Paul Jones, seararing man, Fred Polsen, sailor, and Charles Nelson, the bart: of the saioon, agreed as to the vital double murder. They saw rurning through the barroom with Cordes following and shooting.at her. After she had disappeared into the street, Cordes turred to the left and shot John Carlson, who was standing outside of the bar; then he shot Peter Sjorgren; then he wheeled to the rear and shot the third man, who was trying ‘to get under cover beind the bar. _ After shooting the men, Cordes placed ‘the muzzle of the pistol against his rignt temple and pulled the trigger several times, but, there being no more cartridges in the revolver, there was no scharge. de‘Sarlso‘n died in the ambulance on the way to the Harbor Hospital, and Sjorgren died last Monday, the shooting having oc- curred at 1 o’clock on the Thursday morn- nig previou: Kittie Eisel testified that she had been living with Cordes for eight years, and had always had trouble with him be- cause of his bad temper and quarrelsome disposition. He often threatened to kill her. They bought some property recently in Alameda County and went to resids there, but they could not make a living, and he declared that he would not go to Sork. Finally, the place having been mortgaged for $400, she proposed that she should go to work in the Pacific-street dive, and ha consented. | The last quarrel they had was over the proposed sale of the property. Cordes came to the saloon and after a few words | placed his right hand into his overcoat pocket, saying: “I'm a thoroughbred and I can fix all the people in this house: I've got you now.” He drew the revolver, but it fell to the floor, and she ran screaming through the barroom into the street with SPECIAL SALE!
