STOCKTON, Sept. 23.—The first rain of the season fell in this locality last night. 1t began about 3 o'clock this morning and continued furiously until .31 of an inch had fallen.

There is considerable grain still Reveals the Full Plot. The woman's confession was compiete. | She even admitted the intimacy with Woodworth, which many had suspected, | and, although she attempted weakly 1o | set up a more harmless motive, she made | it evident to every one who heard her, | under the clever examination of Deputy | District Attorney Willis, that this inti- | macy had been the moving cause of her | wrongdoing. In a few words she told how | Woodworth had come to her and sug- | gested a way by which they might gain possession of her father's farm. All he | wished to do, she said, was to get a deed to the property in his possession. m he said, he would sell the gypsum deposit on the land and pay old man Kempley for his farm out of the proceeds. At all| times, so she claims, Woodworth protested | that he had no intention of cheating her | father. { She told how Woodworth had her | write the decoy advertisement that lured | her father to Los Angeles in the very | hour on which the plot they had woven | meanwhile was to be consummated. She | admitted flatly that the coin—the alleged | $29,000—which Woodworth handed to her | mother she had never counted, and that | she had handed it back to Woodworth ten | sainutes after she had delivered the deeds | to him. She did not know. she said, | whether the amount was $19%0 or $30,000, | a other evidence adduced during the proved that Woodworth had not been | possession of more than $1200 at one me since early in 1900 { Mrs Wonders said that she was to re- | ceive one-ninth of the $29000 as her im- mediate share.

Justice White, however, insisted that Czolgosz should speak, and the prisoner said, “I didn’t hear what he-said.” Assassin Pleads “Guilty.” District Attorney Penney then read the indictment again in a louder voice, and to the demand for a reply the prisoner, who was standing at the time, said in a very low voice, “Guilty.” This plea was, however, not permitted to stand under the law, and a plea of “not guilty” was at once ordered by the court. Titus stated to the court the facts al- ready known as to his connection with the case. He explained that the position of himself and his assoclates, Lewis and Ladd, was a peculiar one and consisted mainly In making sure that all the forms of law and justice were observed in tne prosecution. Justice White in reply complimented counsel for the defense and said that the prisoner could have no better counsel, and that whatever outcome it would reflect only credit and honor on them. The examination and swearing in of the jurors was then begun, the prisoner standing as each was sworn. The first juror was summoned at 1 His name is Frederick V. Laue jumber. He was examined briefly by th istrict Attorney and counsel for the de- fense. No objection was made and Lauer was accepted. Richard J. Garwood. a street rallway foreman, was next summoned. One of the questiops put to him by District At- torney Penney was: “Do you believe in the present form of government?” to which Garwood replied: rea a e Lewis asked him if he would acquit a man if it were clearly proven that he was insane at the time the murder was com- mitted. Garwood replied that he would. After a few questions from Lewls, Gar- wood was accented, Joshua Winner, a farmer of North Col- lins, was objected to by the defense and excused. Henry W. Wendt, a local manufacturer, when called announced that he had form. ed no definite opinion on the case; his opinion would be governed by the evidence alone. He was sworn in. Talesmen Are Excused. Horatlo M. Winspear, a farmer, was challenged by the people and was excused. George Kuhn, a baker of Buffalo, said his opinion of the gullt of the prisoner was 80 firmly established that no evidence could change it, and he was excused. John D. Blliott, a farmer of Grand Isl- |and, was opposed to capital punishment and he was excused.

During the axamination of jurors the priconer sat eréct in his chair and gazed straight ahead at the back of his senior counsel. Beyond the rapid blinking of his eyes he seemed unconcerned. He made no effort at communication with his counsel, nor they with him. Frederick Langbeine, a railroad section foreman, was excused by the prosecution. George Ruehl, a barber, was a bcliever in capital punishment. Ruehl is a mem- ber of the General Assembly from the Buffalo district, He said in reply to a question from Lewls as to whether he had talked much about the case, ““People have talked more to me about it than I have to them.” He had formed no defi- nite opinion, but nevertheless he was ex- cused by the defense.

Short Sessions to Be Held. addressed the court, saying that owing to the fact that the defense had little time for preparation he desired the ses- slons of the court to be as short as possi- ble. He suggested that court convene at 10 a, m. and close at 4 p. m., and that there be an intermission from 12 noon un- til 2 p. m. Justice White expressed himself as be- ing agreeable to this arrangement and made the hours of the court conform with Lewis’ request. Benjamin J. Ralph, a bank cashier, was accepted, and took the eighth seat in the jury box. 3 The adjournment of court until 2 o'clock was then announced. At the same time Czolgosz was handcuffed to the depu- ties and hurried from the courtroom bar to_the Jjail. For the first time since he came into the courtroom to-day he spoke to one of his guards. “Get my hat,’ he sald, and the officer placed it upon his head as he walked out. At 2 o'clock Justice White resumed the session, and the examination of additional jurors was resumed. The jury was com- pleted by the selection of Samuel P. Waldo of Alden, a farmer; Andrew J. Smith, a dealer in butter and eggs, of Buffglo; Joachim H. Mertens, a shoe dealer of Buffalo, and Robert J.

Frederick Haller, assistant District At- torney, began the presentation for the prosecution at 2:48 p, m. He reviewed the assassination of the President, his illncss and death, Samuel J.

He was chief engineer of the Pan-American Exposition, and vis- ited the Temple of Music on the day of the crime to take measurements of (ho positions of articles at the time it oc- curred. ] Perce’ A. Bliss testified that on the day following the crime he photographed the interior of the Temple of Music at the District Attorney’s request. The photo- graphs were passed to the defendant's counsel and afterward to the jury. Dr. Harry R. Gaylord of Buffalo testi- fled that he performed the autopsy upon the body of the President. He described the location of the wound in the stom- ach and the direction of the bullet. The wound in the stomach, said Dr. Gaylord, was not necessarily the cause of death. The fundamental cause was the changes back of the stomach. The actual cause was absorption of the broken down mat- ter of the pancreas. There was nothing known to medical sclence which would have arrested the progress of the changes caused by the passage of the bullet through the pancreas.| Dr. Mynter’s Testimony. Dr. Herman Mynter was the next wit- ness. District Attorney Penney questioned him closely_regarding the operation per- formed on President McKinley at the ex- position hospital immediately after the shooting. Dr. Mynter said the surgeons side of the abdominal cavity. The Presi- dent agreed to an operation at once, which was absolutely necessary to save his life. Dr. Mann was selected, with Dr. Mynter, After the acceptance of this juror Lewis | found the bullet wound in the left upper to perform the operation. The abdomen was opened. It was difficult to get at the wound: in the back of the stomach. The stomach was turned over-and a bullet hole was found in the back of that organ. They could not follow_the further course of the bullet and as the President’s tem- perature was rising it was agreed by the physicians present that no further search for it was advisable at that time. The stomach was replaced and the opening closed with sutires. On the advice of the hysiclans the President was removed to r. Milburn's house. Dr. Mynter then described the period of favorable symptoms shown by the patient, his relapse and death. Dr. Mynter gave the rames of all the doctors who were associated with him in the case and de- scribed the result of the autopsy, saying that it proved first that there was no in- flammation of the bowels: second, that there was no injury to the heart; third, that there was a gunshot wound in the . stomach and that thers was a gangrenous spot back of the stomach as large as a silver dollar. “\What was the cause of death?’ asked Peaney. “The cause was blood poisoning from the absorption of poisonous matter caused by the Primarily it was the gunshot Cross-examination by Titus was directed to the possible presence of microbes in the in-' testines. “Have you any idea that there may have been_microbes in the intestines of the Presi- dent 2"’ "'Oh, yes," was the reply, “you have them, and so have 1" , the pancreas broken?’ asked Titus. o.

Snapping of & Little Siwash Animal Diverts Brute’s Attention. Compels It to Drop Its Human Prey and the Arrival of Companions Saves the Man From Death. ey Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 23.—Late advices from | Valdes state that Archie Park, one of the | first residents of that place, had an en-| counter that nearly cost him his life a few days ago. He had been prospecting along. the headwaters of the Shushetna River with two companions for several weeks and had just started for Valdes, when he was attacked by a large white giacier bear. | Park was some distance ahead of his | two companions, when he heard a noise in the brush near the trail. Believing it was made by a caribou or moose, he start- {ed to investigate. Suddenly he came face to face with a great bear. He threw his rifle to his shoulder and fired, but the bullet did not seemingly hurt the brute, if it hit him at all. Rising on his hind feet, the bear seized Park in his great fore paws and mouth and started off for his den in the glacier. . Park believed that he would certainly be killed and eaten by the bear, as his companions were not to be seen, and he could do nothing to protect himself. He had with him a little Siwash dog that he had threatened to kill on several occa- sions, as it was too small to pull a sled or pack a load. This insignificant cur saved his life. When the bear started off with Park the dog began to bark and bite at the animal's heels, until at last the immense brute dropped his burden and | started after it. The little fellow ran into the brush and got out of harm’s way. Here Park made a mistake, for he had heard and read that if a person would feign ‘death a bear would not touch him. But apparently this is not the rule with | Alaskan bears. As soon as the old brute | had frightened away his little tormentor he again picked up his human burden and started off, handling him more roughly than before. The faithful little dog was again at the bear's heels more furiously than ever, and bruin was compelled a sec- ond time to drop his human prey. Park did not ‘‘play possum’ this time, but managed to crawl from the track into Ithe brush, more dead than alive. His two_companions, who heard the barking | of the dog, had arrived by this time and, iopenlng fire on the bear, drove him away. | The poor victim was picked up, a mass | of blood, raw flesh and broken bones. He was very badly bitten on the arms, legs. | back, face and head. His whole scalp | was torn loose and about three squar: ‘ir.ches of itgwas entirely gone. His face | was terribly lacerated and he was s verely bruised about the body. The party was a hundred miles from | its camp on Slate Creek and had no medi- cine or bandages. All that could be done was to wash the wounded man, tearing up shirts for bandages and using oil ren- | dered from the fat of what birds and wild animals they could kill‘'as an ointment for ihis wounds. Park will recover, but his head and body will be shockingly scarred. | BECOMES QUARTERMASTER OF THE SOLDIERS' HOME | | General Grant’s Signal Officer Named | | for a Position in the Santa | | Monica Institution. { | FRESNO, Sept. 23.—S.
