He was the most important witness of the trial. .Shaking hand arnd foot, he told how Soeder had confessed to him in their joint cell that he had hit Blaise over the head with a broken shovel, that still retained the riveted end of the blade. Then he stood over him, with his left knee Blaise's back and slit his brother-in- law’s throat with a knife held in his right hand. This was the wound that caused Blaise's death. DESCRIBES BLAISE'S MURDER. Cooper told in detail how Soeder had met his brother-in-law on the night of January 10 and deliberately murdered him. He testified that the defendant sald that a man without money was no good in this country and that “he would as soon murder his brother-in- law as a stranger.” Twice during Cooper’s testimony the defendant a to protest and his at- bore out strongly the public im- »n that he is a dangerous man. - first broke forth during the testi- mony concerning the changing of a man named Day from the cell in the Cou y Jail -upied by Soeder, Day anc Cooper claimed that Soe- der had arranged the transfer with the captain of the watch. “You a dirty liar,” shouted Soe- d for that change your- self.” Bailiff Martin Welch nearly jumped over the railing in his effart to quiet the prisoner subsequently Soeder arose again when Cooper was testify- ing regarding the manner of killing Blai: and extended a clenched fist toward the witn *You are a lia and a thief,” shouted the defen You stole your moth- er's mone Thereafter Deputy Sheriff Meynert sat beside the defendant and touched him on the arm whenever a show of temper was coming.

General Salomon, chief counsel fnl'| the def. , stated at the conclusion of Cooper’s testimony that he was ready to introduce evidence to the effect that | it was perjured testimony. He claimed | that he could produce witnesses from | among the prisoners in the County Jail who would testify that Cooper’s testi- mony was the result of a conspiracy of the prisoners confined therein, and | that Cooper was put forth to wreak | | their vengeance because his client had refused to be robbed by them. | District Attorney Byington and his sistant, R. Porter Ashe, ridicule such statement and éxpress the belief that | Cooper’s narrative of Soeder’s confes- sion is absolutely true.

It is an action brought by T. H. Speddy, a well known steel man the San Diego corporation and its pro- moters, among them C. H. French, to restrain the defendants from using certain notes indorsed by the plaintiff, on the ground that the indorsements were secured by misrepresentation. According to Speddy’'s complaint he | was recently visited by French, who is lan officer of the new company, and | asked to-indorse five notes of the San Diego Imperial Construction Company, a concern controlled by the Pacific Steel Company. French, so Speddy al- leges, claimed that the "Pacific Steel Company was backed by wealthy.peo- ple of the East, among them Milliken Brothers, who, he said, had subscribed for $10,000,000 worth of stock and that the total amount subscribed was $14,- 000,000. He represented to Speddy that he wanted to use Speddy’'s name to add to the influence of the corpora- tion. He persuaded the latter, says Speddy to indorse five notes of $6000 each, which he pledged, according to Speddy, would not be executed. In return French gave Speddy 500 shares of the preferred stock of the Pacific Steel Company. NOTES ARE HYPOTHECATED. The transaction occurred on May 5 and it is claimed by Speddy that a few days iater he discovered that French had hypothecated these notes for various sums, thereby violating the agreement between them. Fully be- lieving that he had been impcsed upon, Speddy yesterday proceeded to secure an injunction. In his suit he asks that French be restrained from negotiating the notes; that the court order the in- dorsements canceled and that the Pa- cific Steel Company accept the return tender of the stock given him by French. C. F. Humphrey, Speddy’s attorney, stated yesterday afternoon that one of the notes indorsed by his client had been hypothecated with U. S. Grant of San Diego for $2500 by French. Two others had been traced to the First National Bank of the same city and the other two to the Union Oil Company, which had received them from French as a security in a land transfer deal. QUESTIONS SOLVENCY. “M®™client has realized that he has » | been imposed upon by French,” said | Attorney Humphrey, “and he is taking the only course open to him to protect useless for him to resort to any other civil action.” The incorporation of the Pacific Steel Company two months ago in San Diego was heralded abroad as a gigantic un- dertaking. Although French was not made directly responsible for the stor- ies, they were nevertheless circulated 1! to the effect that many rich men of the East, including Charles Schwab, were behind the enterprise, which, it | was claimed, had purchased large ccal beds and iron mines in Alaska and purposed to establish its own steam- of this city, for an injunction against| | One-Half Regular Prices The assortment will include Tmported Satin Striped Moire Antiquss: Elegant Warp Prints; black and white and white and black | Stripes and Small Dots; Handsome Plaids; Gun Metal Effects in Taffetas and Louisines, and navy and white and black and whits High-Class NOVELTY SILKS Extraordinary 'Offering.

Also Cooper testified that Soe made the first advances of :?sdtiiye::g | confession by asking him if he had any good friends on the outside who could help him prove an alibi for the murder of Blaise. Cooper said he had good friends, after being promised half of $1000 for his services which, he said Soeder told him was forthcoming from Germany. On cross-examination the influential friends turned out to be a man named Scott, whose present whereabouts is unknown and an un- fortunate woman employed in a dance hal] on the Barbary Coast, who was in love with Cooper and visited him fre- quently in the County Jail. “Why did you make this betrayal of a secret you say was intrusted to you?” asked General Salomon, chief counsel for the defense. “Because his statement was made so cold-bloodedly to me,” said the witness. “He spoke of the killing as though he had killed a dog or a hog.” Further testifying, the witness claimed that Soeder told him the mur- der was done at 9 o'clock at night and that he “‘monkeyed” around until 4 o’'clock in the morning and then weft to the Cliff House. He said that Soeder told him that he had no bloodstain after the murder except on his right hand and on his shoes. These he wiped off with a towel and subsequently threw the towel into a manhole.
