His op- portunity is an exquisite one, and he takes exquisitely its every advantage. I think it is his dignity of conviction that makes the Beau plausible to-day. Like most artists—he is the Watteau of manners—he is ineradicably con- | vinced that the world owes him a liv- |ing. Not debts, but a breach of good form, is disgrace. To pay was impru- | dent, to lend imperative. Duns were | unpleasant people of bad manners. Product of a time when business was | the unforgivable sin, the Beau is, in short, the perfect parasite. | lieves so thoroughly in his right so to He is so amiably convinced that his part in life is simply to set the fashion. He so graciously, so earnestly, with a {80 utterly fine conscience lives up to his ideal, that one comes at last to ‘take him at his own valuation. One feels the fine manners are deeper | than skin deep, a habit of gentle and ceurteous thought. . Even, when to re- | pair his damaged fortunes he seeks the !hand of a wealthy merchant’s daugh- ter, one sees the action only as a | vaguely noble sacrifice to his religion of the mode. And when, a parasite with {a dependent parasite, we find him starving te death in a garret rather| |than soil his fingers with work, he seems still lovably and pathetically | credible. As ever, Mr. Mansfleld commands the utmost sympathy in the role. His fashionable boredom is delicious, his in- solence exquisite. With the lightest, nay imperceptible touches, he suggests again the sincerity, the real depth of his feeling for the city lass that the Beau first woos for her gold. Incom- parable is the Chesterfieldian—nay, one begs the Beau's pardon—the Brumnrel way in which he informs himself that !he loves Mariana “madly.” And in | Calais, when foresaken by court favor, | old, broken down, starving, Brummel puts aside the girl’s offer to marry him | s her father dictates and turns aside \tn leave her in her lover's arms, there | was a bit of acting that brought sud- ;den iting tears to the eyes.

Hom Tai Foon, another of the tong | presidents waiting trial for the mur- | der and one who testified for the de- fense at the trial of Quon Quock Wah last July, turned State’s evidence and corroborated Fong Ling’s testimony that rewards were offered for killing | members of the Educational Society. He produced a paper and said it con- tained the evidence he was instructed to give at the trial of Quon Quock Wah. It was given to him while in the County Jail. Six of the indicted tong presidents who are out on bonds appeared in court and-denied the report that they intended leaving the city and promised to remain till their tri were over. ——————— PRESIDENT HARRISON ASKED TO ACT AS JUDGE LR Officials of Pacific Athletic Association Anxious to Have Him Serve at Berger-Rodenbach Bout. The registration committee of the Pacific Athletic Association met last night to consider the bout between Sam Berger and William Rodenbach. The committee had such a bitter ex- perience over the last fight in which Berger took part that the members are throwing every possible safeguard about the present affair. Thirteen hun- dren dollars vanished into thih air after the last bout and its final resting place was not traced. There is a general desire that Wil- liam Greer Harrison be one of the Jjudges for this bout. President Hinch- man and Manager Coffroth will call upon him to-day and will request him to serve. Should he decline the regis- tration committee decided that the two judges shall be chosen from Rob- ert McArthur, Phil Wand and E. J. Smith.

SOEDER SWEARS HE IS INNOCENT | Denies Under Oath That He Took the Life of His Brother - in - Law, Blaise I AR A Leon Soeder, accused of the murder of his brother-in-law, Joseph Blaise, on the night of January 10 of this year, was called to the stand yesterday morning. His examination was ex- tremely brief. General Salomon, his chief counsel, gave as a reason for its brevity that he did not wish to allow the prosecution to disclose the former character of his client. Soeder made a good witness for him- self. He was not in any way nervous and he answered all questions in a convincing manner. “Did you murder your brother-in-law, Joseph Blaise, on the night of January 10?” asked General Salomon. “I never did it,” exclaimed the de- fendant with a show of passion. “Did you ever tell Cooper that you murdered Blaise?” asked Salomon. “I did not,” said Soeder, positively. On cross-examination by District At- torney Byington, the defendant gave general denials to most of the questions asked him and was never drawn into a controversy. It was evident that he was observing strictly the injunction of his chief counsel—not to talk. TESTIMONY EXCLUDED. In rebuttal in the afternoon Captain Sullivap of the branch County Jail on Broadway was called by the prosecu- tion to testify that Soeder personally arranged the joint occupation of a cell with Cooper, who testified that Soeder had confessed to him regarding the murder of Blaise. On objection to Sul- livan's testimony Judge Cook ruled that it was irrelevant. Arthur Blake, an inmate of the Coun- ty Jail, was called by the defense to testify to a conspiracy on the part of Cooper and another prisoner to convict Soeder and thus escape punishment for their own crimes. Judge Cook held that such testimony was not relevant to the case. At the conclusion of the testimony R. Porter Ashe, who has ably assisted District Attorney Byington in the trial of Soeder, made the opening address to the jury. He covered the evidence fully and dwelt strongly on the motive that im- pelled Soeder to commit the crime. His peroration was a strong piece of ora- tory. Picturing a peasant who was lured to California by promises of riches, he dilated on the fact that these were the men who drew from the earth their productions and were the mainstay of the State. Fervidly he pleaded for the maintenance of natiorial and State honor, in order that none should fear a journey to California, even though he might come from across the seas. Such men as Blaise, he declared, had made the Golden State. FOR HONOR OF THE STATE. Ashe said that he believed that the prosecution had shown that Soeder had murdered Blaise and had proved the crime as far as the officers of the law were able. Most strongly he insisted 15¢ each. a popular outing material. that an acquittal of the defendant and the unavenged murder of Blaise would ruin the fair name of California as a law abiding State and give to the world the impression that murder could be practiced with impunity in this community. 5 At the eonclusion of Ashe’s address court was adjourned until this morn- ing. Alexander Campbell will open for the defense and General Salomon will close. They expect to occupy all the day. District Attorney Byington will follow for the prosecution to-morrow morning and the case will probably go to the jury some time Saturday after- noon. Owing to threats said to have been made against John Cooper by his fel- low prisoners at the County Jail.. He was removed to a cell at the Hall of Justice yestarday afternoon.
