He told Judge Lawlior he might be biased and prejudiced and did not want to take any chances of having the in- dictment attacked. on these grounds, Judge Lawlor excused Andrews and Jurors Bpwes .and Speck made similar requests, which were heeded. Judge Lawlor appointed James B. Smith to take the place of Foreman Andrews.

Maestretti appea: in Judge Law- lor's courtroom at 20. He was ac- companied by Attorney Countryman, his counsel, and did not display any outward signs of emotion. He greeted those about him with a friendly smile and began to speak of the case in a light vein. “Well, what's all the trouble about?” he asked. “They tell me you want me i3 Yes, I've got a warrant that T want to serve on you,” said thé Deputy Sheriff, as he approached Maestretti. | The latter smiled again and went intq the chambers with his lawyer, where the bond- was arranged and he was quickly dismissed. “J¢ is all a conspiracy,” sajd Maes- tretti. “These men who testified against me are a lot of weak-minded individ- uals and merely tools in the hands of men who would overthrow me.

He had addressed many assemblages, he had | tried to convince parties and factions; but never before had he put every | effort of his intellect into an address, rever had he desired so earnestly in his heart and soul to convince an audi- ence so much as he did those twelve men yesterday. He was pleading for the life of his first born, pleading to prevent his faithfal wife from being made a hroken | | hearted woman, pleading to save his other children from the shadow of disgrace. It was the oratorical master- piece of his life. What toc him was the ability to sway multitudes if it could not save| the life of his son? What were the triumphs of the past if he could not, | when his whole heart and soul were | in the effort, touch the hearts of those | twelve jurors? | Senater Goucher felt all these things | as he made his pathetic appeal.

Meantime t work of the detectives in unravell | the Poland water mystery was tem-' porarily interrupted yesterday. Cap- tain Callundan is to write a full re- view of the evidence gathered in the island metropolis for perusal by the Stanford representatives, and the task requires some time. At the office of the Police Depart- ment it was said that the detectives were inactive during the day so far as the Stanford case was concerned. ‘‘Yes, we have about come to the conclusion that Mrs. Stanford gdied from natural causes,” said Captain Burnett.

If my boy fell into bad company, if he formed acquaintances that m&de; of him a tool—blame the Creator, who makes youths unwise and knaves to bear the semblance of men.” The father’s voice sank lower and lower, the mother sobbed, the accused criminal bowed his head. Leaning to- ward the jury, Senator Goucher con- cluded: . Now, gentlemen, I am finished. The | case is in your hands. You have the | power to deal with my boy when I do | not. After I quit talking there will | be no werds said in his behalf. I must ' remain mute during the remainder of | this trial.” | IS SHAKEN BY EMOTION. | For an instant the father stood si- lent before the jury.

The father patted the accused mur- derer upon the back, and Alan Goucher placed his arm for a moment around the father's neck. The last words that i could be spoken in “Kid” Goucher’s behalf bad been uttered by the father. All through the proceedings the sis- ter of the murdered man sat heavily veiled in a corner of the courtroom. She neither spoke nor moved. With relentless, stern and persistent | effort, District Attorney Byington pro- ceeded to tear aside every bit of sen- timent that the faithful father had | built around “Kid” Goucher, the ac- cuesed murderer. - “I say,” thundered the District At- torney, “that that man Goucher is as cold blooded and desperate a criminal as ever walked the streets of San Francisco.” tered a shrill protest, but he was si- lenced by the court. At frequent inter- vals the quavering voice of the lawyer from the foothills interrupted the Dis- trict Attorney. him, Byington continued: ‘“This case is being watched by two classes of peo- ven around the Hall of Justice.” Senator Goucher interrupted with a strenuous objection. “Yes,” continued Byington, “you have what the criminals call the yegg men, who look upon this man as a hero, and {on the other hand there is every man | | who does not sympathize with crim- | inals and murderers. “The men who were assoclated with | this prisoner in crime are waiting to receive him with open arms If justice is not done.

Burnett sought to make it appear yesterday that he left it to the Morse agency to work out the mys- tery. He explained that it began its investigations in January, having a start of several weeks before the Po- lice Department was apprised of the case, and has therefore been enabled to cover the fleld much more thor- oughly. It is known, however, that the de- tectives think they have the = Poland water case well in hand and feel they have the evidence in shape to justify making formal charges at any time. Mountford Wilson holds the reins, however, and what course will be pur- sued must be decided by the attorney for the Stanford representatives. Two persons are under suspicion and one or the other, it is expected, will be charged with the poisoning within a short time. The news published exclusively The Call shortly after the death of Mrs. Stanford that Miss Berner had pointed the finger of suspicion at Ah ‘Wing, the Chinese cook, who also served as a factotum in the Stanford household, is verified by the statement that Miss Berner made to the detec- tives. While she refuses to say that she regards him as a suspect, her statement as to -probabilities placed the Chinese strongly in the light of suspicion and caused the detectives to. maintain watch over him. % THE BERNER STATEMENT. - The following is the part of Miss Berner's. statement in point: I had ‘no’conversation 'with Wing, the Chi: in nese housekeeper, -as to who: might ' possibly ave done this thing. He never accused me of doing it. On thé day before we left San Francisco on the Korea I asked Wing, to come t my ooti I did so because Mrs. Stanford told me to. On the previous afternoon Mrs. Stanford had an engagement to meet Mr. Lathrop and Mr. Sloss on business and told me to go on before her to the house. About dusk Mrs. Stanford arrived. 1 sald to her, ‘‘Oh, why did ycu come so late? I was just coming dow She said, “'I have been walking for some. thne. 1 did not come straight to the hotel, 1 won't take off my things, but we will g0 back to the hotel’” ~ When we left the house Mrs. Stanford said to me, “T was very much frightencd by Wing when I came in. He met_me in the lower hall and he was very much excited. I never saw him in sich a state. - He thinks you are not his friend. I don’t like it, Bertha, and you had better see Wing and (nd out what it means.” So the next day I called Wing. into my room. I said to him, ‘‘Wing, you frightened Mrs, Stanford last night. You ‘were yery much: excited and talked very loud. What do you mean?”’ ¢Wing replied, “Well, Bertha, you are very cross about coffee.” I told him I understood all about it; that he must think no more of the matter. Wing replied, ““You and I friends long time. You no friend now.”" 1 sald to him, I don't know why you say s0. 1 am your friend now, just as much as I ever was, and whatever you do don't go about frightening Mrs, Stanford.” Wing did not at that time say, ‘Bertha, I think you did this.” He did not say, ‘‘Bertha, I'didn’t see you do it, but I think you did, and you know if you did or not.”” No conversation of that kind occurred. Mrs. Stanford never told me that Wing had openly accused me to her. 1 know that if Wing had ever made an accusation Mrs. Stanford would have told me. Mrs. Stanford never told me that she thought Wing had done the thing. - She never made the statement that Richmond had done it. She never said to me, “Bertha, do you think Richmond did it?" I went over the whole list of servants with Mrs, Stanford, beginning with the cook. I sald to her, “Now, Mrs. Stanford, there is So and S0 in the house. There ig the cook. I don’t know whether he is of amiable character or objectionable 1 don’t know his helper. I don’t know the new butler. I don't know tha butler's helper.

Old Servants Allowed Where Body Lies. ——— STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 22.—The gioom that has pervaded the campus since the death of Mrs. Stan- ford has become deeper 'since the ar- rival of the body yesterday from the funeral train at Menlo Park. Little knots of mourning students are stand- ing around the deserted quadrangle or sitting in the Memorial Church listen- 1 ing. to the hymns that Organist Blodg-. lett plays every afternoon. There are | no g{ecltaflons going on and all college work is at a standstill. The body of Mrs. Stanford is not lying in state at her residence on the Palo Alto estate. There is a guard around, the house and only the rela- tives and the old servants are allowed to enter. The closed coffin lies in the i drawing-room of the mansion covered | with beautiful flowers. Miss Nora Hop- { kins, the housekeeper, has entire charge of the residence. ‘ The employes of the estate have raised a large sum with which to show their respect for the memory ‘of their | floral piece to be placed just outside the Memorial . Church. Probably no ; class feels the loss of Mrs. Stanford as keenly as do these employes of the stock farm. They were hired by Sen- ator Stanford and have always felt that they were the real protectors of the mistress. Mrs. Stanford .dearly loved these men because they repre- sented' the things that most interested her husband. They will all attend the funeral services'in a body. On Friday, the day of the funeral, the Sheriff of Santa Clara County will appoint a large force of deputies to. patrol the university grounds.: While the seating accommodations are very limited, yet the faculty in charge ex- pect that there will be an enormous crowd of outsiders and they are mak- ing. these preparations. so that there will be perfect order. It is probable that on the day of the funeral no car- riages will be allowed on the univer- sity grounds. With the exceotion of the relatives and the ministers who speak, the long funeral procession from the Memorial Church to the mausoleum will be made on foot. Floral offerings for Mrs. Stanford's funeral have begun to arrive from friends and from organizations in vari- ous parts of the State.

CHICAGO, March 22.—A sensational sequel to the Harper wheat cornmer of 1887 is promised when the bankruptey | proceedings of E. L- Harper are aired ; In court in Bristol, Virginia. Evidence |18 now being gathered in Chicago to | show the operations of several West- {ern financiers connected with the | Standard Oil Company, and how these | operations led to the greatest wheat lpamlc in the history of the country. | The developments will show, it is said, | that the greater part of the $10,000,000 lost on the Chicago Board of Trade { during that memorable occasion went into the pockets of this coterie. It ia alleged that these Standard Oil men were ostensibly backers of Harper, | then a Cincinnati banker, but that they sold him out. Judgments against Harper are held in Chicago to the extent of several million dollars. Twenty-three firms failed on the Board of Trade on June 14, 1887, and at least fifty other firms lost all they had. Thousands of fami- lies were ruined by the wheat corner engineered by Harper. E. L. Harper is now attempting to | have himself declared a bankrumt. Al- though he is vica president and man- ager of the Union Iron and Steel Com- pany of New York, a concern with a capital of $6,000,000, Harper is said to own only one share of stock. g st e TEST CASE IN MISSOURL | | Anti-Trust Law Will Be Tried Upon | the Standard Company. | JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 22. The first hearing in the proceedings brought by the State of Missouri to compel the Standard Oil Company to | show cause why it shall not be pun- ished under the anti-trust law was set to-day for March 31, before Associate Justice Marshall of the Supreme Court.
