Witnesses for Accused Give Testimony That Is Con- tradictory. The two sessions of Judge Lawlor's court were occupied yesterday in the fur- | ley, charged with the murder of George { W. Kice, a non-union machinist, on the | evening of October 11 last, at the corner | of Howard and Twentleth streets. The prosecution closed its case and the defense opened, the attorneys of Buckley | claiming that they would prove that the Witnesses for the prosecution were mis- i taken in their identity of Buckley as the man who fired the shots that ended rice's life, In the opening address made by one of Buckley's attorneys the admission was mage nat the defendant was at the scene of tne muraer and that he became badly frigiitenea and told conflicting stories to the police omicers when arrested. ‘Yhere were numerous objections by counsel for the prosecution and the de- fense, and Juage Lawlor repeatediy re- proved Buckley s attorneys for asking improper quesuons and making unneces- sary speeches before the jury. 1 witnesses called for the defense were cross-examned at length by As- | sistant istrict attorney Aifora and Spe- | cial Lounsel recer vunae, wno succeeued mn bringing out iestimony that made be | Witnesses contraaict eacn other.

When one of tHe attorneys for Buck- ley made the opening statement for tne defense and criticizea the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution Judge Law- lor was asked by the prosecution to re- prove counsel. Judge Lawlor instructed the attorney on what lnes statement to the jury should be conduc ed and to reserve criticisms of the ev dence until the finali arguments were made. Miss Florence Edmondson was the first| witness called for the defense. She testi- fied that she was in a bakery on the cor- ner of Howard and Twentieth streets on the evening of October 11, when Rice was w *|shot.

In cross-examination Miss Edmondson stated that the shots were fired very | slowly and that the man who did the shooting stood on the curb in front of the | bakery and fired at Rice's body at a dis- | tance of fifteen feet. | "It was fully five minutes,” said the | witness, ““from the time the first shot was fired untfl the man with the pistol started to _run away. | Peter Bernard Flaherty, 14 years of age, | testified_that he was on the car on which | Rice rode out Howard street on the night of the murder. Flaherty stated that he | saw a man get off the front of the car iand he heard shots fired. He could not, however, identify the man who did the | shooting. [ On cross-examination Flaherty flatly contradicted Miss Edmondson by stating that the shots that killed Rice were fired rapidly, and that he saw no man firing from the curbstone in front of the bak- ery. Thomas H. Stewart, a mail carrier, tes- tified that Rice was lying on the ground at Howard and Twentieth streets when two men ran up to him and one of them fired four shots into his body. Both men then ran off. The principal point sought by the de- stand was to get his statement that he believed that the man who did the shoot- ing had a dark hat on. Buckley wore a light hat when he was arrested. He Might Be Mistaken. On cross-examination Stewart testified of the hat worn by the man who fired the shots, but his impression was that it was a dark soft hat. Stewart also contradicted the evidence of Miss Edmondson by stating that the man who fired the shots at Rice stood within from three to flve feet of his vic- tim, and that anther man stood close to the elbow of the murderer. “How did the man who did the shooting compare with the defendant, Buckley?”’ asked Special Counsel Dunne. ““He was about the same size and build,” replied the witness. amuel Oppenheimer, a cigarmaker, who | resided at the corner of Howard and Twentleth streets on the night of the murder, testified that he was on the sec- ond floor of his house when he saw a car stop, but not at the regular place. Oppen- when he heard a shot fired and that he ! ing on the ground. He was positive that the man who fired the shots wore a dark hat and was taller and heavier than Buckley. 4 On cross-examination Oppenheimer ad- mitted that he had been interviewed by a machinist a number of times since ths murder, but that he did not know the | man’s name. He had been taken by this ! man to see Buckley at the jail and also to the office of Buckley's attorneys. The | crose-examination was carried out on lines to show that the witness could not have seen the shots fired and that it was impossible for him to have reached the door of his house in the time that elapsed between the first shot and the last one. Witnesses Contradict Each Other. J. B. Rolver, a teamster, testified that { he saw the shooting and that he was posi- tive that Buckley was not the man who had used the pistol. On cross-examination he stated that he was about 450 feet from the scene of the shooting, and that he had | to look around to see what was going on. He admitted that though he was in & i wagon he did not whip up his horses to | follow the man who did the shooting.

W. Stone Passes Away at the Van Nuys Hotel | Mrs. W. W. Stone, wife of Professor Stone, prinéipal of the James Lick Gram- mar School, passed away last evening at 6:30 at her apartments at the Van Nuys | Hotel, 1001 Bush street. Mrs. Stone died | of burns received on Tuesday afternoon, | January 2. She was unconscious at the last, and Dr. C. F. Pawlicki Jr., who attended the unfortunate woman, says she succumbed to a series of complications arising from her terrible injuries. Mrs. Stone was drying her hair over a gas heater In her rooms when suddenly her tresses took fire, the flames beini quickly transmitted to her clothing. She threw herself upon the floor, causmg the curtaing_and draperies of the room to ignite. It was due to the timely arrival and presence of mind of J. S. Starr, pro- prietor of the hotel, who heard her screams, that death did not immediately ensue, He succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not until Mrs. Stone’s head and the upper, portion of her body had been terribly blistéred and seared. Though in the midst of great suffering, Mrs. Stone managed to explain that she | Wwas in the act of Arying her hair over the gas stove when it caught fire. Mr. Stone and his daughter, Mrs, N. P, Cole Jr., of 1716 Pacific avenue, were at the bedside. Miss Jessie E. Stone of Los Angeles, another daughter, is lying crit- ically ili at Los Angeles and was unable to come to the city. It is feared that the shock resulting from the sad news of her mother's death may prove too great for her to survive.

A daring daylight robbery was commit- ted on Clay street, just west of Mont- gomery, yesterday afternoon, but the rob- ber was speedily captured by Policemen Steve Bunner and P. Herlihy. V. Petrovich, a visitor from the coun- try, who is stopping at the Garibaldi Ho- tel, 222 Broadway, had just turned into Clay strelt from Montgomery when a man thrust him into a doorway, garrotted him and snatched his silver watch, break- ing the chain. It was all done so quickly that Petrovich had not time to call for help. Policemen Bunner and Herlihy had been standing on the corner of Clay and Iearny streets and Bunner started to walk toward Montgomery, when' Alfred Kadich of 11 Fifth street came running toward him and sald, polnting to a man valking hurriedly along the sldewalk, "I'hat man has robbed another man.” Bunner took hold of the man pointed out, who claimed in broken English, \“I've done nothing.” Just then Petrovich came running up with a piece of chain hanging from a buttonhole in his vest and said he had been robbed of his watch by the pris- oner. Bunner searched the prisoner and found the stolen watch and piece of chain in his pocket. At tne City Prison the thief gave the name of Manuel Marcus and his occupa- tion that of a sailor. He said his cge was 18 years, but he looks to be fully 30 years old. John Murphy was convicted by a jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday on a charge of robbery and will be sentenced Saturday. About 3 o’clock in the morning of December 2 Harry Lawrence, while on his way home, was knocked uncon- scious by three men on Powell street, near Geary, and robbed of $210 and a silk handkerchief. Policeman Bralg saw the robbery and chased Murphy till he ran him into the arms of Policéman Robl on Stockton street. D, J. Kelly was arrested about the same time on O'Farrell street, near Powell, by Policemen Sylvester ari Plume, but at the preliminary examina- tlon before Judge Conlan the charge .against him was dismissed. Frauk Sullivan, a sailor, was also held to answer on a charge of robbery. He is accused of knocking down and robbing Emil A, Naville, a sailor employed on the steamer Santa Rosa, while accompanying him to that vessel last Friday night. ——————— Promoter Sues for His Fees.

IYARL GITY OFFICIALS ATTEND FUNERAL LateSupervisorDwyerIs Buried With Impres- sive Ceremonies. Men in every walk of life honored the memory of the late Lawrence J. Dwyer, Supervisor of the city and county, by at- tending his funeral yesterday. Officials of the municipal government and, rela- tives and friends of deceased crowded St. Peter's Church on Alabama street, near Twenty-fourth, and devoutly heard the solemn requiem high mass celebrated for the repose of his soul. The ceremony was of the most impressive tears were shed in sympathy for the widow and children, for many heasts were sad at the loss of a departed friend. Rev. Father® Casey, pastor of the parish, was celebrant. He intoned the offices of the mass with feeling. The bier ‘was placed in the center aisle immediately before the altar, and many floral tributes from dear friends reposed on the lid of the coffin. Throughout the mass the choir rendered music appropriate to the occasion. Miss Annie 1. Roney sang “Nedrer, My God, to Thee” with depth and feeling, moving the mourners to tears. Rev. Peter C. Yorke preached the eulogy of the dead. It was a tribute to a life well spent. It was not an addréss of praise, but a eulogy befitting the charac- ter of the deceased. He told of Lawrence J. Dwyer’s life of honest purpose and of devotion as a husband and father. “What his work for this city was,” the speaker said, “‘you all know, and there- fore he needs no encomiums from my lips. His deeds speak for him. All pay tribute to his earnestness of character, and above all to his honesty as a man. From his youth he was more or less interested i public _affairs, and that he has go1é through that ordeal, through all its temptations, without a slur on his char- acter proves that he was an honest man, and this I say is his eulogy, For honesty is greater than any woridly emolument ana more powerful than wealth.” In conclusion Father Yorke told of Dwyer’s interest in church work and aow he helped to upbuild St. Peter's parish by advice and deeds. The vast congregation then filed out of the sacred edifice and stood with bowed heads, forming a lane to the hearse., Through this path came the city officials, led by Mayor Schmitz and Supervisor James Booth. In the procession were Su- pervisors Alpers, Bent, Boxton, Branden- stein, Braunhart, Comte Jr.,, D’'Ancona, Eggers, Lynch, McClellan, Wilson and ynn, Secretary Fay other attaches of the Board of Supervisors, The judi- clary was represented by Judges ¥riwz and Conlan, Among others who attended were Captain Spillane of the Police De- partment, District Attorney Byington and Auditor Baehr., The Builders’ Exchange sent a delega- tion, and White Eagle Tribe No, 72, Im- proved Order of Red Men, was also pres- ent in regalia. The widow was escorted to her carriage by Rev, Father McQuaide, who is a cou- sin of deceased. ‘The pallbearers were Supervisor P, J.

The members of the Bohemian Club have been privileged to sée this week two important examples of the work of a Californian artist, now in Paris, that are on cxhibition at the ciub. The pictures are from the brush of Jules Pages and both have been honored with medals by the authorities of the Faris Salon. ‘The more ambitious effort, “La Toilette du Modele,” is a study of the nude, almost life size, and representing a female model dressing. The study shows the arfist at his kest and is a powerful and interesting effort. The canvas is perhaps too crowd- ed, the detail in some degree detracting from the central figure, and, like all of Pages’ work, the subject is handled in more literal 4han imaginative fashion. But as an example, of flesh vainting it is of the cleverest and strongest work that has been seen here. The figure is grac- fully posed, the woman, half-kneeling, | balf-standing, facing a mirror, and tossing up her hair with easy gesture. The flesh is admirably modeled and the drawing is delightfully sure and free throughout. | The figure compares most favorably with the specimen of Pages’ work now in the Mark Hopkins Art Gallery that deals with a somewhat similar subject. The other picture is also a figure sub. Ject, titled “La Gitanella,” and represents a Spanish dancer. This also Is a medal picture, but the reason for the distinction |15 not so immediately apparent. It is a leasant color harmony, but the figure acks life and roundness and the present- ment of the subject is not of the most pie- turesque. ‘“La Gitanella” was painted by Pages on a recent visit to Madrid. But it 1s pleasant food for reflection that a Cali- fornian is winning such honorable place in the great world of art as Pages is win- ning for himself in Paris. sistant clerk to the Board of Supervisors: Supervisor John Connor, formef Assem- blyman Eugene Sullivan and J.
