To break the chain of evi- dence the prosecution has welded around her, this unfortunate woman has naught to rely upon but her testimony given in support of that of Michael Nolan, her ‘consort, and John Davis, one of his vi-| | clous companions in the brutal assault | | and robbery of Mrs. Emma Mathews at | her home, 53 Haight street. Under the | | lesh of argument their degeneracy is be- | | Ing tmpressed indelibly upon the jury and | those who have watched the trial! throughout expect the verdict to be gullty | as charged. When the case reopened before Judge | | Burnett yesterday morning Docla Nolan, the defendant, was called to the stand in her own behalf. If she left a lasting im- pression on the minds of the court and jury it was not one favorable to herself. Those who waited for her tears were dis- appointed. Cold and phlegmatic, she cr ated no sympathy in her favor and with this eliminated from the minds of the jury, a fuller consideration of the strong | chain of evidence presented by the prose- | cution is assured. i In explanation of the note she wrote | while confined in the City Prison to No- | lan, her consort and leader of the gang | that invaded the home of Mrs. Matthews and brutally abused her, she made admis- | sions that materially weakened her case. | Her reason for incorporating in her letter o rance to Nolan that she was'| rue blue” was actuated, she said, by her desire to let Nolan know, not th she would not testify against him, but that she would remain true to the fllicit relations whi isted between them for five years. EXPLAINS A DENIAL. Her reason for denying that she knew | Grills when confronted by her in | the City Prison, she said, was because she was badly confused and feared every- body. Her sister, Mrs. Pearson, and A torney Frank Gould, whom she intended to retain as her cousel, she said, had ad- d her in the office of Captain of De- tives Martin to tell all she knew and to admit that it was she who told Nolan of the presence of money and jewelry in the home of Mrs. Matthews. Juror William Battersby here brought !out a strong point. Addressing Docia | Nolan, he said: “If you were gulltless of any connection | with this crime why did your sister and | the lawyer whom you intended employing | suggest that you admit that it was you | who told Nolan of the presence of the money and jewelry in the Matthews home? The unfortunate woman did not know. They wanted her to admit that it was she who told Nolan the whereabouts of the money and jewelry whether she had or not, she said, but as to why they wanted her to make this confession she was un- | able to say. Outside the further admissions that she told Nolan on the day of his arrest that she hoped he would be punished if it were proven that he was guilty of the crime and that she was present at the Mexican restaurant with Ruby Grills, Nolan, Da- vis ‘and Whitelaw on the evening it is alleged by the prosecution she inaugurated the conspiracy to rob Mrs. Matthe she mad a general nial to the allegations of the prosecuti She the money be- had never heard of thew: until after the had never told home ing in the M robbery, she testified he Nolan of its presence in the Matthews home; had never discussed the matter with Nolan prior to the robbery and after its commission was only interested i because the victim of the th dear friend of her er, Mr: Pear: who lived near the Matthews home.” NOT NOLAN'S WIFE. that she is not the wife of an she was forced to admit that her correct name is Do- Looper. The prosecation sought to prove that she known in this city as Lottie Meyers and had been rested for vagrancy under that name, but | the court sustained an objection to that line of questions | As#e why she had incorporated in the | note she sought to send to Nolan the plea | that he “John, the shooting gallery | man,” and get him to swear that it was common knowledge in the neighborhcod The Michae! was once f the Matthews home that there was money and jewels in the possession of Matthews, she could make no ex- except that she had heard y that it was common knowl and jewels were | d her when she | had heard from of the money and home prior of edge that the mon there. Her memory as asked whether n" of the existenc jewels in the M subsequent to the robbery. At noon the accused woman left the | stand and the defense closed. In rebuttal | the prosecution called Sigfried Hirsch, a boy living at 533 Halght street, and T: V. | Matthews, son of Mrs. Emma Matthews, | who testified that a few hours after the | assault upon Mrs. Matthews little Made- { line Pearson, daughter of Mrs. J. 8. Pear- | son, asked them both whether or not the | robbers had secured the money contained in a slipper which had been shown her | by Lita Tuttle, daughter of Mrs. lda E. Tuttle, who resided with her mother, Mrs. Matthews, in the home where the robbery occurred. Mrs. Pearson s a sisters of Docia Nolan, and the testimony |of these lads went to strengthen the | theory that Docia Nolan learned of the | presence of the money and jewels in the | Matthews home through her sister, Mrs. Pearson, and Mrs. Pearson’'s daughter, | Madeline. A TERRIBLE SCENE." Sigfried Hirsch made an impression upon jury and spectators by his deserip- tion of the scene at the Matthews home a few minutes after the robbery. A crowa, he said, attracted by Mrs. Matthews' screams, had gathered in front of the | house when suddenly the door opened and Mrs. Matthews, Her hair matted with blood, staggered out on the front porch | | and sank to her knees. With screams of | terror, the women present. rushed frem the scene and the men, wild with anger and excitement, rushed in search of the | police and physicians. She was led back |into the house and a short time later, Hirsch testified, little Madeline Pearson approached him and asked if the robbers had secured the money that was in the slipper, about $100 in all. A surprise was next in store for the defense when John Kuerlebey of 613% | Haight sireet, referred to in the note | written by Docia Nolan to Nolan while she was confined in the prison as "John, | the shooting gallery man,” was called to the stand. Kuerleber testified that he conducted a shooting gallery adjoining Billy Abbott’s notorious resort and ft was through Docia Nolan frequenting this resort that he became acquainted with her. He denled that he had ever told Docia Nolan, either before or after the robbery at the Matthews home, that he bad heard there was money or jewelry in the house. He testified that he did not know Mrs. Matthews or her daugh- ! ter, Mrs. Tuttle; had never heard of them he th the THE EMPORIUM. | 5 | | | § | | E | Goods Here for Outing . . 65¢ v $6.00 Hammocks from . . . ... fi Canvas Cots frem . . ... . . . . 800 to 33«50 & | Camp Stools 20@; withbacks . . ... ... . . 300 Reclining Canvas Chairs . . ... 1.00 $5.00 g Tent, bist makss . . . . . . $5.08 to $80.35 Men’s Bathing Suits QL 50 to $3.50 ¢ ngSuts. . . . . $2u25t0 & | Children's Fathing Suits. . .. . ., . 250 to $1:28 And everything else you'll need for your vaca- tion at equally as reasonable prices.

ACCUSED IS CONTRADICTED. Frank H. Gould and Captain Martin re- futed Docia Nolan's statement that Gould | and Mrs. Pearson advised Docla Nolan to testify that it was she who gave Nolan information as to the presence of the money and jewels in the MattHews home, whether such was the case or not, Gould stating to the court that in all his pro- fessional experience he had never advised a clent to testlfy to that which was not true. Mrs. Augusta Patrician, landlady at the lodging-house at 413 O'Farrell street, and her daughter, Bessie, testified as to Nolan calling at the house on two occasions to see Davis and Whitelaw, disproving No- lan’s statement that he was never there but once in his life. Detectives Wren and Dinan told how J. 8. Pearson, husband of Mrs. Pearson, sister of Docia Nolan, had admitted to them after the robbery that the presence of the money and jewelry in the Mat- thews home must have become known to the Nolan gang through some mem- ber of his family. Pearson was called in surrebuttal by the defense and denied that he had ever made such an admission to Wren and Dinan. He was the last witness and when he left the stand Special Prosecutor Lindsay made the opening argument for the prosecution. Argument will be con- cluded this forenoon and the case will be placed in the hands of the jury in the afternoon. ——————————— i Hold Closing Exercises.

His statement was | as follows: On Tuesday evening between 6 and T o'clock I met Francisco Rossi and Giovanni Fossa at | their home, 3034 Franklin street. Fossa asked me to take a drink of wine, then he put his arm around my neck and threw me down- stairs, He came downstairs and beat and kicked me on_the head, shoulders and body. | This was the high stairs leading into the yard | in the rear. More than one man beat me. I don’t know whether Rossi beat me or mnot, but he was present. The assault was unpro- | voked. 2 Lavagnino had no recollection of how he got to the vacant lot where he was found the fellowing morning and the sup- position is that he had been carried there ! and left to die. The two prisoners when identified vy iavagnino denied having seen him on Tuesday night and said they and Bakulich, who are still working ot the case,.say that the third man impli- cated in the assault is Antone Fossa and they are making every effort to find him. e e Indoor Picnic Planned.
