A great deal of bitterness has been en- gendered over the trial of thé case and complaint was made to District Attor- ney Allen this morning by F.- B. Cook, brother of the murdered man, that he was cursed by the elder Pembroke and his three sons last night and the father had accused him of trying to hang his Cook said: If T had known what I know now I would have cracked some of them aver the head with & good big stick. They came into my store last nizht, every ome of them swearing. It was while the jury were Inspecting that lo- cality and looking across from the reading- Toom into my store to see if -they could sve me making up my cash, just as they say young Pembroke did when ‘my brother made up the cash the night he was killed. They rushed into my place and I supposed they had heea sent by the Judge and demcand- ed to searéh me, claiming I had a lantern or sgroe kind of light about me £0 as to make myself more plainly seen by the jurors. 1 theni cearch me and all the time they wers swearing and cursing. 1 stood it all becaus 1 thought that they had lLeen authorized to make the search by the Judge. These -peovie have tried in one way or an- other to intimidate every witness that has becn called in this case. ‘They even went to the frail old woman who {s a librarian in the reading-room and told her she was a liar. There are other people who have been kept from tegtifying on account of the actions of these peéople. 1 have spoken to the District Attorney about the matter and. also taken jegal advice, and if these people dom’t ieave me alone there is going to be trouble. The trial of the case has been filled with scenes. Early in the trial Mrs. Pembroke made a scene in court be- cause young Pembroke was taken over to the County Jail handcuffed to John Schneider, one of his pals. ‘A few days later Pembroke called one of the wit- nesses_a liar during the proceedings. Jobhn Schnelder, the father of one of the boys convicted of the crime, shook his fist at the Pembroke family just as court adjourned one evening, irritated by the actions of the family, and these are but a few of the incidents.

Marshall had sworn at her when she refused to “tell lies,” and exoner- ate Lester C. McNulty, whom she ac- cuses of assaulting her on_a Berkeley Tawn, Dorothy Olsen today added tg her statements by saying that J. M. Mec- Nulty, the defendant's father, had threatened to prosecute her for black- mail, and that Dr. McNulty, Lester's brother, had swooned when she gave her decision that she would prosecute the young clubman. ) Since last Monday Miss Olsen. had been subjected by Attorney A. L. Frick to a merciless cross-examination that did not close until late this afternoon. For the greater part of four days she had been under fire and only once did she break down. That was when she became dizzy momentarily and asked Judge Harris for a short recess. But with all Frick's cleverness he did not materially change the girl's testimony save to bring out new facts damaging to the defene. One of these facts was the alleged demand by J. A. Marshall, who formerly employed the girl as a do- mestic, and who is admittedly a friend of McNulty, that she tell a lle. Others arc that Dr. McNuity fainted and that he and Mr. and Mrs. Marshall cried when the lonely servant girl decided to defend her good name, despite the fact that she pad accepted McNulty's gold. For an hour Frick questioned her about the $500 she had recelved with little effect, and when ke asked her it Marshall had not that she give back the money she replied that, on the contrary, Marshall had told her to say nothing about the transaction. * ° A. G. Alvis, the conductor who saw McNulty ogling Miss Olsen on the Tele- graph-avenue car from Oakland to Berkeley, gave practically the same tes- tmony given at the first trial, and he will be cross-examined by Frick to- morrow. Several members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union were pres- ent to support Miss Olsen, and in the crowded iobby a number of women, who were evidently -merely curious, jostled for standing room with the men.
