Detective Jamison identified the gray | overcoat, which was retained by Miss Ol- sen after her struggle with her assallant, as a garment he had procured from the girl the day after the assault. The admission of McNulty that the gar- ment was his property was testified to by Marshal Vollmer, who stated that Mc- Nulty came with his father to the Mar- shal’s office two days after the assault and explained that his overcoat had heen stolen. Reading in the newspapers of an overcoat which Miss Olsen had, which resembled the one he lost, McNulty said he thought it proper to investigate, and upon looking at the coat in Marshal Voll- mer’s possessfon identified it as his prop- erty. CONTRACTOR TESTIFIES. “Mr. McNulty wished to take posses- on of the coat,” said Marshal Volimer, “and I told him an order of court would be required for that. It was suggested at that conference that McNulty go to Miss Olsen and permit her to say whether or not he was the man who had attacked her. I do not recall by whom the sug- gestion was made, but McNulty assent- ed.” Testimony regarding the rescue of Miss Olsen from the clutches of her assailant was given by John Wallen, a contractor, who heard the girl's screams when about 150 feet from the scene and hurried to the ph Wallen could not identify Mc- Nulty as the man he met going away from the scene, nor could he identify Miss Olsen as the girl who was assisted by him to Ger home, a short distance away. The witness was driving down Stuart street, near Telegraph avenue, when the girl's screams caused him to turn back, and while walking toward the Marshall home he met a stranger and asked him what wae the trouble. The stranger sug- gested that the police be called and then walked away. “That man,” said Wallen, “was tall, muscular and stout. If I had attacked him T think he would have given me a pretty good wrestle.” ‘ Wallen said the stranger wore a light- colored vest and had a dark complexion, similar to McNulty’s. Miss Olsen told him she had been assaulted, and he helped her to her home, At this point the Deputy Distriet At- Natural Laxative IRREST SPOLS (OMICTS CARE SACRAMENTO, Dec. 4.—J.
