Cuticura Soap combines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuti- wurs, the great skin cure, with the pur- est of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flewer odours. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserv- ing, purifying and beautifving the skin, scalp, hair and hauds.

At the end of the fusillade Marriott had disappeared from view, and after walting a short time he left the house. He heard Marrifott say as he rounded the turn of the last step, “He has broken my- leg, «nd then saw Mrs. Marriott for the firs “time leaning over the ralling at the head of the stairs. During the cross-examination were many spirited passages between Williams and Attorney Johnson, which kept the large audience expectant for fur- ther developments. Truxtun Beale's answers were mostly “yea, yea." and “nay, nay,” and even un- der the strongest fire of cross-examina tion, besides giving ihe barest facts cor roporating his codefendant, he never went further than quali his negatives with the word ‘‘certainly.” He told the i |\ [l 11 i | | | | | TAT & BYINGTC, | ND IN JUDGE COOK'S COURT YESTERDAY AND_ WELL INTERESTED SPECTATORS DURING i vy UDGE CARROLL COOK gave a | decision yesterday in the case of the people vs. Willlams and Beale, who are charged with assault on Frederick Marriott on the night of September 3, that let in a flood of testi- for the defense. At the:last ses- | mony in abeyance as to whether or not the | conversation occurring between the two | defendants prior to the visit to the Mar- | riott house was admissible, and numer- | ous anthorities were submitted by both sides. Judge Cook gave ample considera- tion to the points cited and then went law hunting for himself with the resuit that he overruled the contention of the | Gefense that all the conversations pert- inent to the issue were admissible. At the same time he decided, by an anal>- | gous ruling, that in cases where defend- ants were tried together a confession of one might be used to the detriment of another; so the conversation of one de- fendant. relating to the motive of the act was admissible for the interest of the other, and vice versa. Accordingly what Beale told Willlams was admissible on the latter's behalf and what Willlams sald to Beale in connection with the al- leged assault was pertinent for Beale's defense. Attorney Dunne for the defense made a formal exception and proceeded with the examination of Thomas H. Wil- llams along the lines laid down by the court. TELEPHONE TO MARRIOTT., Willlams testified on direct examina- tion that he and Beale met at the Pacific- Union Club on the night in question, at which time the defamatory article which caused the trouble was first brought to his attention. From there they went to the home of Miss Marie Oge, where a conversation ensued between her and | Beale in the presence of the witness. | Thence they went to Willlams' home’ and | there the witness telephoned to Marriott, making the engagement to meet him at 9 o'clock that evening. He testified to going to Marriott’s resi- dence approximately at 9 o'clock that ! evening in company with Beale. He was |fnet in the hallway by Marriott, who bade them good evening and offered to | take both their hats. The witness an- swered he would hang up his own hat and went to the end of the hall to do s0. Beale gave Marriott his hat and wit- | ness and Marriott went to the hat rack together. As Marriott returned Williams said he was accosted by Beale, who de | manded a retraction of the slanderous ;nrurle concerning Miss Marle Oge ap- | pearing in the News Letter. He sald that Marriott answered sneeringly: “So that's what you called for?” “Yes, you blackmalling cur,” answered Beale. | At _once, the witness testified, Beale and Marriott engaged in blows, practically sion of the court the auestion was left | at the same time. He saw the exchange | of violenc but was unable to say whether or not any weapons other than fists were used. MAKES DEMONSTRATION. uddenly Marriott broke away started up the stairs at a rapid gait. | Wihen Le reached the bend in the stairway | ne turned and made a demonstration as if to draw weapon. At the time Wil- | ilams testified he was standing almost at the center of the stairway and had taken no part in the affray further than to say “Give it to him, Trux.” % | When witness believed that Marriott had paused at the bend of the stairs to draw a weapon he took a revolver from his person and fired three shats as rap- idly as possible. At the conclusion of this, as there was nobody on the stalrway, he went to the end of the hall, secured his hat and left the house. ‘Willlams was subjected to long cross- examination by Hiram W. Johnson, the | “pecial prosecuting attorney, who has been called Into the case. The first few questions developed the fact that the wit- | ness had in his possession the revolver with which Marriott had .been wounded and a dagger which he was in the habit of carrying. As he had b6th of these in his possession on the night of the alleged assault Judge Cook ordered them intro- | duced in evidence as part of the proseci- tion’s case. i STORY IS UNSHAKEN. ! Under ‘fire of innuendo the witness lost his temper once or twice, but his main story was unshaken as regards the events of the might in question. In his direct testimony he stated that Mrs. Marriott had not started downstairs while he was in the hallway and all the questions of the prosecution failed to change him in this fact. After Marriott had passed out of sight he admitted seeing Mrs. Marriott at the head of the stairway and at once | turned away seeking his hat. When he secured this he left the house in company with Eeale. In answer to questions. by Presecuting Attorney Johnson, Willlams said that he and Beale went to Marriott's house sim- ply for the purpose of obtaining a retrac- tion of the slanderous article published in the News Letter regarding Miss Marie Oge. He said there was no understand- ing that any physical punishment was Lo be meted out to Marriott and he went there simply as a friend of Beale to see that he was not overpowered by Marri- ott’s friends In case of trouble. ! The scuffie in the hallway between Mar- riott and Beale was fully gone into, and the witness testified that while he was in a position to interfere on behalf of his friend he made no attempt to do so, nor to stop Marriott as he ran up the stair- way. He simply looked on, switching his position from the hallway to the center of the stairway.

A motley throng | gathered outside of the courtroom door | prior to the opening, and when admitted | it required the combined voices of all the | court officers to prevent a stampede for seats.

He was badly cut on the small of the back by the broken | glass and singed by the redhot stove and w nt to the Central Emergency Hos- | | pital, where his wounds were stitched | and dressed. It was lucky for him that | he did not fall through the light a few minutes earlier, as a large pot. of | boiling Iye had just been taken from the | | stove when he made his unexpected ap- | pearance in the kitchen TAKE BAD MAN HOME. | Prindle and Percy Morris, a carpenter on the Sonoma, went into the Railroad | saloon, on Market street, near Montgom- Walsh, who introduced himself to them | as a cowboy from Arizona. Walsh invited them to take a drink and they accepted his fgvitation, returning the compliment as under the influence of liquor and as Prindle and Morris took a fancy invited him to their room, at Walsh had a belt round his walst filled with cartridges and a revolver stuck in a holster. - When they left the saloon Walsh pulled the revolver out of the hoister and want- ed to show Prindle and Morris the way lively in Arizona, but they persuaded him to put it back. | They reached 329 O’'Farrell street without any mishap, but they had no sooner en- tered Prindle and Morris’ room when Walsh pulled the revolver out of the hol- ster and shoved the muzzle Into Prindle’s face.

Policemen Clark and Gruenwald were notifled and Prindle was sent to the hospital. Besides his cuts and burns, his back was badly | wrenched by the fall. After his wounds were dressed he was taken before Cap- | tatement and | sent him home.
