LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., Feb. 20.—Al- fred Witherspoon, president of the First National Bank-here, is:in a precarious condition at his home and Police Judge Porter Walker is’ under surveillance, as a result of a shpoting affray in a dry goods store.: Witherspoon last fall violated the law by recklessly firing a revolver in town and shooting into some windows, and Walker, as Judge of the Police Court, fined him §200. Since that time feeling between them has been high, ‘Walker had gone into a store, in which there is generally to be found some whisky. Witherspoon was there. He cursefl Walker, and the lattcr want across the street and ate his luncheon. He re- turned later land asked Witherspoon to retract his ~ statements. Witherspoon, realizing the meaning of the return of his enemy, drew back to the door and reached for his revolver. The bystanders stepped aside. Walker drew first and fired at ‘Witherspoon, who ducked to dodge the bul- let, and was hit in the ear. His revolver had become fastened in his pocket and he turned to release it with his left hand when Walker fired the second shot, which grazed his shoulder. Before Withérspoon could bring his revolver into action ‘Walker had fired a third shot which struck Witherspoon in the back below the right shoulder, felling him. The Judge gave himself up to the authorities and was released on his own recognizance, while Witherspoon was removed to his home. There is little hope of saving Wither- spoon's life.

ALTURAS, Feb. 2.—Judge Harris, one of Jim Brown's lawyers in the Lookout Iynching case, capered nimbly over a wide field in his argument before the jury to- day. Thrilling threat and savage sarcasm ‘were soothingly mingled with a variety of things sentimental, and just once the Judge dipped into poetry. He clambered, out hastily, however, when the metaphors began to mix and held himself down to solemn prose thereafter. Harris used no fragile rapier on the prosecution. His was a broadsword and the broadest of them all. He cut, and slashed and dipped and tore at testimony until Judge Harrington began to fidget in his chair and Assistant Attorney General Post felt an exhilaration savoring of the trial's tempestuous early days. It was a delectable feast of courtroom eratory, plentifully spiced with acrimony and sea- soned with invective. The houseful of auditors thoroughly enjoyed it. Blossoms of Corruption. “‘Corruption of the worst kin sald Harris, dramatically, “blossoms héré and turns its face toward golden rewards that have been offered, like the face of the sunflower turning its face toward the sun, no matter whose life is at stake.’” And then came the more direct attack on the State and county officers: “The prosecution. has ‘been endeavoring to try eighteen men for the murder of five men in order to get a verdict against Jim Brown. We have heard but little about Martin Wilson; the burden of their story has been about Calvin Hall. Another Jury will try him for the murder of Cal- vin Hall. Before it gets through perhaps there will be another court; another set of attorneys listening to these sad and sickening tales. You cannot convict Jim Brown on the confessions of Claude Mor- ris and John Hutton. The prosecution has to hang somebody, so they picked on Jim Brown, and they got those two weak- minded fellows to say they helped to hang those men at Lookout. “It shows what extremes the prosecu- tion is forced to for the purpose of con- victing Jim Brown, right or wrong. You must not indulge in guessing at some- thing not in the evidence, but must with caution examine inte the evidence until you arrive at a moral certainty and then act upon it.”” Harris next criticized the policy of the prosecution in bringing to Alturas ‘“‘hired detectives and armed men” to protect wit- nesses for the people from possible as- sault, and made the broad assertion that the defense has on the way to Alturas at this time twenty-five revolvers to be used as protection against “‘those hired bullies and blood-hunters.” - Just what Judge Harrls desired his hearers to gather from his words was not made clear, but the statement caused somewhat of a sensation in the court- room. Prosecution Is Accused. Harrls closed his argument with an im- passioned appeal to the jury to bring in a_verdict of acquittal, aSserting in em- phatic language that the prosecution had not proven its case. During his argu- ment in the afternoon he was reprimand- ed by the court on several occasions for misstating evidence in the matter. Thus reprimanded, Harris delivered a lengthy criticism on the conduct of the case, sub- jecting Judge Harrington and General Post to severe castigation, practically ac- cusing the court of ruling out evidence at the instigation of the counsel for the prosecution, Harris accused General Post of corrup- tion in _securing confessions and evi- dence of Claude Morris and John Hutton and declared his intentlon of prosecuting the confessors for perjury In this case. He declared that General Post had no ower to grant immunity to Hutton and Elarrla for making confessions and claim- ed that the law prescribes capital punish- ment of a person .convicted of giving per~ jured evidence in a case such as the one now on trial. Harris then reviewed the evidence of Morris, HutPon, Courtwright and Lafe Harris and said that no jury on earth would cq“vtktul dog, 'l‘fthn.lone a human being, on testimony such as was given by them. James W. Bod will prog;.bly take up all of to-morrow in argument for the prosecution. e— Tree Destroys Telephone Service.

R. H. Countlss presided and a large number of delegates attended the morning , and afternoon meetings, The petitions came from dealers in sad- there should be a lower freight rate on westbound goods. The matter was given considerable attention and furnished ma- terlal for a long debate: No decision has yet been reached. In the matter of the general tariff schedule the delegates have so far found it impossible to make much progress be- cause’'of the pressure of minor affairs. It is belleved that the session will continue for at least a week. The docket befors the meeting contains between 600 and 700 entries. This is the first meeting of the bureau since the one' held in Milwaukee four years ago. A: C. Rulofson of San Francisco, rep- resentative of the Pacific Coast Metal and Hardware Association, appeared before the bureau to-day and made a statement bearing on the advisability of adjusting the freight tariff on iron on a more just basis. 1. H. Horton, also of San Fran- cisco, set forth the need for a revision | of freight charges on harnesses and sad- | dles. He appeared for the Pacific Coast | Wholesale Saddlers, who are now in con- vention here. A shipper of slot machines asked for a reduction in the rates now | charged for these articles. All these were | given a respectful hearing and their guménts were taken under advisement. Late in the afternoon Assistant General cific and Assistant General Freight Agent Coman of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company escorted the visiting traffic men to the steamship Indravelli, and Captain Craven proved a charming host to the railroad men. It is announced to-night that the work of considering the docket itegn by item will be taken up Friday morning. The bureau has by formal vote agreed to pro- ceed in that manner. STOLEN GEMS ARE RECOVERED Sheriff of Trinity Clears Up a Celebrated Mystery. Two Men Make Conflicting Confessions About the " Theft. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Feb. 20.Trinity County’s noted diamond robbery has ended in the unearthing of the stolen gems and the | Jailing of E. M. Hammond and Joseph E. Vancleave, the men whose conflicting con- fessions create for them no sympathy. | About $1200 worth of diamond rings and | a watch left by Mrs. Frick, who had died, disappeared a year ago from the Frick and Davis ranch at Lewistofi. They had been hidden in the storage room. Sheriff Bergin went through there Tues- day, bringing back from Nevada E. M. Hammond, who had confessed to the | theft, implicating his unele, Vancleave, a | well-known man. When they reached Lewiston Vancleave told where the jewels | were buried, saying Hammond _ stole them. At a corner of the woodshed, two | feet underground, was found the little | box with {ts precious contents. A gold watch and chain, a _diamond ring or two | and other pleces of the collection were missing. The watch and chain were traded to a man near Douglas City and have been recovered. Davis is trying to locate the other articles from what he has | been told and believes the collection will | be fully restored. | Sheriff Bergin took Hammond to Wea- verville and lodged him in jail. He talks | freely of the whole affair.' He will prob- | ably plead guilty. Vancleave, who Ham- | mond says advised him to steal the jewels, | may resist prosecution. | Loses Life in an Explosion. | AUBURN, Feb. 20.—Word was brought | here this evening by special messenger from Butcher Ranch,’a station in the mountains twelve miles east of here, to the effect that a miner named Archie | Maither was instantly killed there this afternoon in a powder explosion. He was thawing out giant powder sticks by means of boiling water when the accident oc- curred. Thirty sticks were exploded. aLIDE RUINS GREAT DITCHES Thousands of Dollars Are Lost in Trinity County. Storm Sends the Mountain Land Plunging on Waterways. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Feb. 20.—Seventy-five thou= sand dollars may not more than cover the damage which has resulted to the canals of two mining corapanies of Trinity Coun- ty from a great landslide. About 300 feet of the ditches of both the Sweepstake and La Grange Mining com= pan, near Weaverville, were swept awal th adlacent land so completely that even the lines of the ditches along the mountain side cannot be followed. The two hydraulic companies began work two weeks ago and every day of the stormy_weather meant heavy results to them. Each brings its water nearly twen- ty miles. Tuesday evening a slide came down the mountain near East Weaver Creek, where the two big ditches paral- leled. The ditches were obliterated. The La Grange loses all and the Sweep- stake two-thirds of its total water supply. Engineers to-day set fifty men preparing a flume over the wrecked part of the La Grange diteh. The Sweepstake will try to open a new ditch. Men will be worked at night if pessible. Celebrate a Golden Ammiversary.
