The legal gentlemen connected with the sensational trial are already becoming a trifie belligerent, the witnesses are grumpy of manner and not by any means inclined to shed more light than the law can com- pel on the terrible crime committed near this place when Calvin Hall and his sons and Dan Yantis swung at ropes’ ends from the bridge last May.

The activity of the prosecu- tion in the case of Brown, who is the present defe: , has prov a among all the persons wii | been trying to block the 1 < and shield the culprits, ed some time during the week. Assistant Attorney General Post, whose admirable handling of the celebrated Lit- tlefield and Round Valley feud cases at Weaverville in Trinity County a few years ago has well fitted him for the duty im- posed on him here, said to-day: Prosecution Is Hopeful. “The prosecution is making good head- way with the trial. We will put up a case in which no fair jury can do other- wise than convict. The evidence will be plain and we think we have a good, square. impartial jury. The evidence for is e the prosecution will all be in by Friday B B M 0 LOYERS O F DIAM or Saturday of this week. We do not know how long it will take the defense to get in_ its eyvidence. It may be a month or it may be three months. We will try the other two defendants sep- | arately, but I cannot say when. We have a plain case and are sure of a convie- tion." One of the picturesque characters at the trial is Judge G. F. Harrls, who is an attorney representing Brown, the alleged leader of the mob that lynched Hall and .the others. Harris was arrested the other day on complaint of Mary Lorenz, one of the leading witnesses for the prosecution. She was standing in Laird’s store when Harris entered and, it is alleged, made an insulting remark about Calvin Hall. Mary Lorenz is the eldest daughter of this man who was lynched, and she displayed her anger by slapping the face of the Judge. Then he attacked her with a knife. Har- ris immediately had the woman arrested for assault. R e e e ONDS.

Soon after their return Mrs. Thebaud discovered that her dia-| mond and pearl were gone, but foql that little else had been taken. Theb®ud at once communicated by telephone with the housekeeper of the residence in this city and it was discovered that the other valuables had been stolen.

Three hours later the rig was found at the station abandoned. It is supposed the valet, going train soon after he drove to the The New York police late to- cities where Kern would be likely to go.

ANCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 29.—A | German named Theyerson is lan- | guishing in a Japanese prison on the charge of having attempted to kill the Emperor of Japan. A former member of the Japanese Legisla- ture, who was mixed up in the same al- leged attack on his Majesty has been pro- visionally pardoned and will probably not be punished. His name is Tanaka Shoso. It apoears that this Japanese was the political agent of the German, who was interested in the Ashiwo copper mine. This valuable property was recently seized by the Government because of al- leged irregularities and the company and Theyerson were much hampered. Theyer- son is said to have attempted to kill the Emperor in revenge for the way in which the Government had treated him. Theyerson and Shoso were at the en- trance to the palace grounds when the im- perial equipage came along. The Japan- ese ran up toward the Emperor’s carriage with a paper in his hand, but he was stopped by the guard and forced back. The German witnessed the rebuff and in anger he drew a revolver. He, too, jumped toward the carriage, but only took a-step | @ siivieimivirivirieieiieiieirieieieieieb @ TWO FOOTPADS ATTACK BANK PRESIDENT’S SON Young Man Struck With a Pistol and Bullet Enters His Arm, BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 29.—Philo Jew- ett, son of Solomon Jewett, president of the Kern Valley Bank,, was assaulted last night at F and Twentieth streets by two footpads. Jewett was struck in the mouth with a revolver, the force of thie blow knocking him unconscious. The weapon was discharged, the bullet enter- ing his left arm above the wrist. Jewett was on his way to the home of L. F. McClure about 8 o'clock in the evening. As he was within one door of his destination two men leaped from behind a fence and dealt Jewett a blow which severely lacerated the young man's lips. The accidental discharge of the pistol frightened away the highway- men before they could rob him. Many residents of the neighborhood heard the shot, but failed to make an Investiga- tion and the men made their escape. Jewett was partially unconscious about an hour. He came to his senses while wandering on Nineteenth street. Physi- clans have been unable to locate the bul- let. There is no clew to the highwaymen. e QUARTER OF A MILLION IS LOST IN THE BLAZE Targe Department Store at Victoria Burned and Insurance Com- panies Will Suffer. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 2).—Spencer's Arcade, Victoria’s big department store, was gutted by fire and flooded with water | last night. The loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars and the insur- ance amounts to about $125,000. The fire was caused by a cross wire in the carpet department. Before it was dis- covered the place was full of smoke and the flames were leaping through the roof and front walls. The firemen managed to keep the fire in the one store, which ex- tends through a block. There will be very little salvage; in fact, the insurance com- | panies will suffer a complete loss. or two before the soldiers seized him a few minutes later he was dragged to prison. The imperial party proceeded without further incident. There was great ex- citement for a time near the palace grounds. The case has been taken up by the Ger- man Consul at Yokohama and represen- tations will probably be made by him. No | punishment is looked for in the case, but the man will probably be deported. and | off FIENDS HARDS END HER LIFE Terrible Crime Commit~ ted in a Room at Stockton.
