In, the place was Bojorgues Joe Patron, John Higgins and Joe Ben- jamin Singleton had been drinking. He t down at the table, and taking a large revolver from his pocket placed it on the table.

Singleton, who was the only witness for the defense, took the stand in his cwn behalf. He said that when he en- tered the saloon he removed the revol- | ver from his pocket and placed it on | the table because he could not sit down | with it in his pocket. He had gone there to meet Charlie Desimone. He | said those in the saloon were friends of his. Benjamin asked him to place his gun in his pocket, and he said he | could not. Bojorgues then came over | where he was and attempted to take | the pistol. Singleton declared that while | they both had hold of the weapon it was accidentally discharged. On cross- examination he stuck to his story of the killing being accidental. This is the st time Singleton has spoken of the . his mouth having been sealed e police and reporters. His mother and sister were present in court and wept while he related the story. buttal testimony was Introduced | + = -+ MACARTHUR, wWHO | | THE | | ES. | LS - —F Walter Macarthur Talk to Business Men at Noon Service.

In the difficulties that are surrounding us neither factor is blameless or blameworthy: neither can. say that his side has been all right and the other side all wrong; error has been committed on both sides, on the side of the employe in his organized capacity and on side the emplover In his organized capacity. The wolution of the labor problem depends getting the right perspective and the ptance of the spirit of reelprocity, The r problem. cannot be solved on purely omic grounds, but must be solved on ethical or religious grounds. We know that early days the struggle of the workers was primarily against the pagan conception of labor, which relegated the man who worked to the cattla of the fields. We know that it was Christ the Savior, Christ the carpenter, who first instilled man witb the knowledge that all men are equal In the sight of God. It is under the leadership of Christ the Savior that we nately solve the labor prob- se who are acquainted with the labor movement: know that it is primarily, | fundamentally and essentially .a religious movement.

Perrier Dies Suddenly in the Gough-Street Residence of Mrs. Abraham Rosenberg. Mrs. Marie A. Perrier, a teacher of French, died suddenly yesterday af- ternoon in the residence of Mrs. Ab- raham Rosenberg, 1810 Gough street. The deceased, who resided at the Ho- tel Bradbury, 1604 California street, called upon Mrs. Rosenberg to com- plete arrangements to give her French lessons. Upon entering the house she was. conducted to the parlor and complain- ed of feeling faint. She sank exhaust- ed upon a divan and Dr. Terry was summoned. Before his arrival death occurred and the Coroner’s office was notified. The body was removed to the Morgue by Deputy Coroner Mike Brown. Heart failure undoubtedly was the cause of death, as the dead woman had not complained of any illness prior to leaving the hotel in which she resided. Madame Perrier was about 65 years of age and had been an instructor of French in many of the most promi- nent families in this city.

M. H Armstrong. AUBURN, March 22.—A jury was se- cured late this afternoon in the trial of Thomas Gostlin for the killing of | E. M. Armstrong. Both sides have been extremely careful in the selection of the jury, which was not secured until after the issuance of a second special venire. Mrs. Armstrong and her sis- ter, Mrs. Bowers, arrived from Wood- land, as did also Senator Diggs of Marysville, who is executor of the Armstrong estate. Gostlin’s brother, ‘W. H. Gostlin, who is Postmaster at Hammond, Ind.,, has been here for a week, and Gostlin’s wife and eight chil- dren were also present from Sacra- mento. Many witnesses were present, and much interest centers in the case, as it promises to be the most sensa- tional trial in Placer County for many years. The plea of the defense will be temporary insanity, brought about by mining troubles with the deceased and also by the alleged undue friendship of Armstrong and Mrs. Gostlin, The jurors sworn in are: 1. D. Clapp, C. F. Cushman, H. W. Davis, James Croly, A. A. Gorman, R. P. Dixon, W. H. White, S. M. Stevens, W. J. Me- Cann, W. E. Waddle and E. A.
