Railroad avenue south: A few minutes before the alarm was turned in Mrs. Franks, who resides in the neighborhood, saw smoke ceming out of the school building. Other | residents in the neighborhood also saw the signs of fire and an alarm was quickly turned in. 2 No time was lost In extinguishing the | incipient blaze. Its origin was traced to | a room in the basement, where the coal | is stored and the garbage barrels are lo- cated. The fire ate its way through the partitions to the upper floor, entailing a damage estimated not to exceed $50. The | alarm spread consternation through the | district, and out of 600 pupils attending | the schoo! only 100 were present when the | roll was called in the morning. All kinds of conjectures are being ad- | vanced s to the origin of the'fire. Dur- | ing the afterncon the only fires used in | the building were those needed for heat- | ing water for luncheon. These fires were not disturbed until several hours after the school had closed for the day, so that the coals in all the stoves had ample time to cool.

He stated that on each occasion | that Trewhella had made the alleged | threats he, the witness, had tried to paci- | fy_Trewheila. s | “Coming down to the day of the shoot- | Ing, Glaze testified that he had gone down- and had also gone to a | gunstore to p ase cartridges for the | revolver he always carried. Glaze again detailed his doings on the | day of the shooting, and told how he. had | gone to look for his partner in the after- noon in order to get him to sign certain papers, and that on entering the old bak- ery of the hotel, Trewhella had entered by the opposite door and with a threat had told the witness he would kill him. Glaze repeated the same testimony as given yes- terday of the way in which he pistol and fired, thinking his life was in danger. Glaze stated that on the morning of the shooting Trewhella had made threats to kill him and had placed his hand on a big butcher’s cleaver, but that he, Glaze, had walked away, although at the time he had | a loaded pistol in his possession. The " | cross-examination of Glaze did not pro- | duce anything different to the story he | had told on direct examination. Impeach Aron’s Testimony. A number of witnesses were called by the prosecution #o impeach the testimony | of the witness Aron, who claimed that | Trewhella had made threats to kill Glaze | because he had paid a business account. %All the witnesses stated that Aron was | | town on busines: e e et ) not to be believed under oath and that his | reputation was bad as regarded truth. F. M. Black was called by the prosecu- tion to testify to threats made by Glaze against Trewhella on various occasions. AR Jim, a Chinese cook, testified to see- ing Trewhella and the bellboy, O’Connor, near the table in the kitchen on the day of the shooting. The witness testified that he was close to Trewhella and O'Con- nor bhefore the shooting, but did not hear Trewhella say anything previous to the | shots being fired. Mrs. Trewhella, widow of the man killed by Glaze, was called by the prosecution and contradicted the evidence given by Mrs. Glaze as to the trouble on the night of January 13 at the Windsor Hotel. Mrs. Trewhella stated that Mrs, Glaze came to ker rooms in an intoxicated state and created a scenc, and that Mr. Trewhella had gently placed his hands on her and uskeg her to leave the rooms. Blind Witness for Prosecution. Mrs. Williams, the blind mother of Mrs, Trewhella, was led to the witness stand and corroborated the evidence of her daughter. Sympathy was aroused when the witness in a trembling voice said: “I am 80 years old and have not come here to tell a lie.” The witness in an emotional manner soid that she had never heard Trewhella o vulgar.language and that he did not ‘Glaze was called to the stand by his counsel for the purpose of mtnd{etln‘ vep UNON Sousee Ave ulled his |- to an angle of 45 degrees, and remained | in that position for a half-hour.

McDonald and Pilot Charles T. Korts were heard yesterday ‘before United States Court | Commissioper Heacock. ' The charge -against ¢! doctor was boarding the British ship Saint Bede against the orders of Customs Inspector Hans Meler, | and that against the pilot was interfer- ing with the inspector the discharge of his duties. The evidence was that the doctor did not board the ship. but merely | stocd on the ladder at the rail, and that Kortz, instead of Gemanding that the doc- tor should be allowed to board the vessel, had shouted to the doctor that he could not come on board. It was shown also that Daniel O’Callaghan was allowed to go on beard and remained there an hour before Dr. McDonald made his appearance. Both cases were dismissed after Attor- neys Pohli and Frank had submitted their evidence. ——e————— Delightful Ocean Trips.
