Ross Win- | ters is on trial to-day in the Superior Court charged with the, murder of his young wife. The evidence against Win- ters is circumstantial and of an unusual character. Early on the morning of May 11 Win- | ters and his wife started out with their guns in a light buggy to shoot doves in the vicinity of Pasadena. About two hours later Winters came driving home- | ward at furious speed, supporting his wife on the seat beside him. Driving to a neighbor’'s house he let the body fall and called for help. The friends who rushed out of the house found the woman dead from a gunshot wound in the back. | Winters’ story of the accident was that his wife’s gun had been accidentally. dis- charged while she was climbing through a fence. The fact that the young man immediately applied for insurance taken out by his wife and that his stories of | the affair were conflicti led to his | subsequent arrest on the charge of mur- ;i;;;.e z\yimcu is 28 years of age and his San Jose Council Decides Upon Pl ——— Special Dispatch to The Call building, with a half basement.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 7.—The efforts of the State Prison Directors to ascertain what persons were concerned in a scheme to corner the jute bag output of the mills at San Quentin are in no degree being relaxed. The latest development in the investigation is extremely interesting and the directors are not yet certain just how to view it. This “‘development” is a lgtter, the con- tents of which rather startled the board. At a meeting held in San Francisco last evening Director James H. Wilkins was handed the letter by the secretary. This is the text of it: “GILROY, Nov. 5, 190L—To Mr. J. H. ‘Wilkins—Dear 8ir: 1 wish to state in connection with the fraud of San Quentin grain sacks that last April or May I wrote to Warden Aguirre respecting sacks and was informed that my order could not be filled until late in September. Shortly afterward I recelved a circular letter from Anspacher Bros. quoting me Quentin sacks. I could have bought them myself from the prison authorities. It would have saved me several much-need- ed dollars, If necessary I ‘,m willlng to make affidavits to the above statements. “W. B. FRANKLIN.” At the September meeting of the di- réctors at San Quentin Anspacher Bros., acting as agents for a number of people, presented a large order for fjute bags. It was the number and size of these orders that first made the prison officlals sus- picious that all who made affidavits were not farmers. Under the law the intention is to give the farmers of the State the exclusive opportunity of buying their grain bags directly from the mill, thus saving them the middlemen’s profits. In order to get bags from the prison the farmer was compelled to make an affidavit stating that he wanted the bags for his own use. His affidavit and order were then filed and in due time he received the mnecessary sacks at a moderate cost. . Several weeks ago a plot was uncovered whereby a number of firms sought to cor- ner the output of the jute x‘;{fl It was known that false affidayits had been used and that prison-made bags were sold to farmers in San Francisco for over 2 cents in advance of the selling price 'at San Quentin. - The services. of ‘the district attorneys in the grain-producing counties of the State were enlisted by the direct- ors. Detectives were employed to ther evidence. No stone has been left un- turned. That Investigation is still pro- gressing and the next meeting of the di- rectors promises to develop some sehsa- tional features. i 4 Simon Anspacher of the firm of An- spacher Bros., hu{ and grain dealers at 214 Pine street, said last night that he is not a dealer in jute bags. and that he knows of nothing which could furnish a basis for the statements made by Frank- lin in his letter to Director Wilkins. ‘Wheelman Killed in.

SEATTLE, Nov. 7.—The bullet pierced and blood stained garments worn by Wil- liam L. Meredith, formerly Chief of Se- attle’s police, when he was shot to death by John W. Considine June 25, were placed in evidence to-day in the trial -of Considine for murder. The , presentation of the garments In court came near the close of the session and as a climax to a day devoted to evi- derce for the prosecution. The courtroom was crowded and the scene, while devoid of striking incident, was very impressive. The undertaker’s employe who had dis- robed the body of Meredith displayed the garments one by one to the court and Jury with a few words of explanation. Seated by their counsel, John Considine and his brother Tom, who is under the same charge and will be tried later, look- ed fixedly at the witness. The defense made no examination and offered no ob- Jection to the introduction of the exhibits. The testimony of the day related to threats sald to have been made by John Considine agaiftst Meredith prior to the shooting, One witness told of being pass- ed on the street an hour or so- before the shooting by John and a man to the witness unknown. The witness sald he heard the_stranger say: ““Now, John, don't make any bull or mistake about it.” To which Considine rcgned, “I won't.” ther evidence went to the support of the theory which the prosecution is seek- ing to establish in proof that six shots were fired in the melee which ended in Meredith's death. The prosecution holds that Tom Considine fi; the first shot at Meredith, which went wild, and not until then did Meredith discharge his shotgun at John. They also seek to establish that Meredith was beaten to.insensibility and perhaps to death by Tom and was help- less and unconscious when the fatal shots were fired by John, The State announced that its case would be closed by to-morrow evening. As some of the strongest witnesses at the e liminary hearing have been reserved, the testimony is expected to be highly sensa- tiondl and important. Eighty-five wit- nesses have been summoned by the de- fense and it will be at least a week, per- haps 4en days, before the case is ready for the consideration of the jury. CONFER WITH PRESIDENT ON FORTHCOMING MESSAGE Tariff Revision Opposed by & Num- ber of Prominent Repub- licans.

The conductor Insisted on the payment and the men ordered him off the train. Evans called for assistance from the pas- | sengers and the other trainmen, and then commenced a bloody fight. The intruders were armed with clubs and knives and they used them with such effect that Brakeman George Jones was seriously injured and Conductor Evans was badly beaten. Jones was cut in the side and | his right arm was slashed. Several of their assailants were injured, though how seriously cannot be learned. The men were finally ejected from the train and a quick run was made to Riv- erside, where the matter was reported to Word of the attack was sent back to Colton, and the lcers are scous - ing the counmtry to find the men.
