Campbell had put Government Expert Ames through a | course of sprouts yesterday in United States Commissioner Heacock’'s court Miss Alice Maud Harries, the Mill Valley girl who caused the arrest of D. A, Vail of Los Angeles, was recalled to the wit ness stand. She repeated her testimony | of the previous day that she was positive that he was the writer of the indecent letter received by her last Monday morn- ing. She had known him for four or five vears and had corresponded with him up to a few months ago. As to their social relations, she had been only as a sister to him and had tried to | | “make a man cf him,” but had given up | | the task as “a Lad job.” On being pressed | to explain wherein Mr. Vaill was deficient in manhood qualities Miss Harries replied that he did not have enough “go” about him; he was aiso different in his ways from other gentlemen she had met, but | what this differsnce was she was unable to describe. She had tried to get him to be like her other gentlemen friends, but had failed. The witness reiterated her positive dec- laration that Vail, when he -arrived from Los Angeles last Sunday, asked her in a | very peculiar manner whether she had re- | ceived his letter, and she replied that she had not. | Judge Heacock took the case under ad- visement until Monday. —_———————— Street-Sweeping Imbroglio.

King explained that the Merchants’ As- sociation had withdrawn all objections to the carrying out of the street cleaning contract.
