He endeavored to show that the four accused men had committed no offense agaimst the Govern- ment and that the; pedition mereiy busineds proposition, and that the evidence introduced failed to show any wrong had been done by any DUNNE PLEADS WITH JURORS. Frank was followed by Dunne, who used all his eloguence and all his mag- netic oratcrical powers in an endeavor to ! ve silent jurors that the | trial had merely done what hundreds of other shipping men were do- ong. He said the boat had car- ican register so that expenses | might be saved, and that her expedition in the frozen north in quest of the elusive seal was a legitimate one and not in vio- lation of any of the colntry’s laws. Devlin wound up the case for the Gov- ernment. He wasted no time in getting | down to facts and figures, explainiug to fthe jurymen that the four prisoners at | |the bar had transgressed the laws re-i| garding the catching of seals, and dwelt | on the evidence presented in the case. He admitted that a great deal of the evi- | dence was circumstantial, but made the | plea it was encugh to convince any fair- minded man. - Throughout the trial the four accused men labored under the impression that a | verdict of acquittal was in store for them. In fact, they never lost corifidence till the | foreman of the jury announced the de | cision. It seemed to be the general opin- ion among shipping men and others who were famillar with the case that the trio would Ve acquitted, so the verdict caused no small amount of sugprise. THRILLING CRUISE OF BOAT. Judge de Haven's charge to the jury | ! was a strong cne. He warned the jurors to go strictly by the evidence and quoted several passages froffl the testimony. He outlined the law very plainly in regard to the case and impressed upon the minds of the jurors the importance of bringing in a verdict of gullty if they thought the Government .Jaws had been transgressed | by the defendants. The tale of the cruise of the Carmencita and the subseguent arrest of the men ac- cised of packing and abetting her reads ! like a highly colored romance of the briny deep. The Carmencita set sail from here lin May, 1904, under the Mexican flag. She | was later discovered to be in pursuit of | seals and declared a pirate craft by the : Government. On June 13, 1905, the Federal {Grand Jury indicted Captain McLean, Woodside, Tyson, De Smidt apd Woods, 'charglng them with conspiracy\n poach- ing seals contrary to the laws of the : United States. McLean managed to elude capture, and | during his cruise in the rorthern seas he | was fired upon by a Russian man-of-war {and chased by the United States Govern- | ment revenue cutters. He ie still at large, | having managed to elude the vigilance of two natfons. The trial of the others com- | menced several weeks ago, and during its | progress the story of how the four ac- {cused men were implicated In fitting up | the ship for her cruise was thoroughly afred. Woodside and Woods are shipping agents. Tyson is a capitalist and ship- ping man.

United States Attorney Devlin made an explanation yesterday to Judge de Haven regarding the obtaining of testimony in the case, which caused the Judge to cen- sure the attorney's office on the previous ; day. Devlin explained he tried to exam- ine some of the witnesses outside the courtroom, but they refused to commit themselves. The Judge accepted the ex- planation as satisfactory. 5 ————————— 5 | | BUMMER AND LAZARUS 5 IN THE PARK MUSEUM | Vagabond Dogs Known in Sah Fran- cisco Forty Years Ago Get Niches of Fame. “Every dog has his day,” and once in awhile some lucky vagabond of a dog-| gets besides his day a niche In the canine temple of fame. “Bummer” and “Lazarus” were once famous dogs in San Francisco. Forty years ago, when Emperor Norton reigned and graclous- ly collected revenue from his loyal sub- jects, the dog Bummer and the dog Lazarus had the freedom of the city. They acknowledged no master, but welcomed all mankind as friends. They formed an alliance defensive, fighting one for both and both for one against all canine comers. In their wanderings from one lunch counter to another Bummer led the way and Lazarus read- ily followed. In the zone of old San Francisco, the territory bounded by California, Broad- way, Kearny and Front streets, the tramping dogs were known to all the dwellers. Old tfmers tell of the canine companionsanip, the devotion of one dog to the other, and the almost simultane- ous passing away. of the pair. . When they went the way of all dogs the hide of each was taken and stuffed to life size. ‘Wednesday D. B. White, 425 Sansome street, gave “Bummer” and “Lazarus” to the Golden Gate Park Museum. Commissioner Reuben H. Lloyd, who knew the dogs in the ‘sixties,” ac- cepted the donation on behalf of the commission, and Professor Gruber at once installed the new exhibit, They were not dogs 'ot rare blood, such as the “bowwows” that eapture medals and ribbons at.the dog.shows, but resembled the type commonly known as mongrel curs. They held a place in the life of old San Francisco, though, and hence the story of their bond career will be told to count- tione emphatically i e sction of Bows Extraordinary Sale Men’s Spring Clothing Extraordinary Sale Boys’ Suits To start the spring Clothing Business with a_rush, our new manager in the Men's and Boys" Clothing Department has selected several hundred Men's Spring Suits that have just the makers.and has made sor i they were marked (the lowest in town, as you men of San Francisco know by experience) and the Sale Begins To-Day.

Walbridge and his former wife, victims of the terrible double kill- ing he did before the thousands of home- goers "about Lotta Fountain on Wednes- day evening. The deputy coroners found it difficult at times to keep the strug- gling mass of humanity from breaking in the doors' and several times the police had to clear the alley way in front of the Morgue. 5 One of the first visitors permitted to see the bodies was Mrs. J. E. Thompson of Berkeley, a sister of the dead woman. She was supported by her husband when in the charnel house, for she was very faint. Then she wept hysterically and cried out against those who had lived in wickedness with her sister. Benjamin Heath, Mrs. Walbridge's brother, arrived from Hanford late In the afternoon and took charge of the body. With him was George W.
