SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct 9S.-The
trial Of Captain Clarke, Of the ship Sun
rise, Is progressing before the U. 8. Cir
cult Court. Timothy, Tor the prosecu-
tlon, as 1t stands, shows the acts Of
brutality almost inevitable. One witness
swore that he was triced up on gallows
for two days, only his toes touching,
and that he was released only long enough
to partake Of little bread and water. It
Is generally believed amongst the crew
that the three men who committed sui.
eide did so because driven to desperation
by the cruelty Of the Captain and mate.
One Of the crew, Peter johnson, was
beaten and abused until he lost his reason,
and he is now almost idiotic. -

nesses in the Stokes case to-day who tes-
tilted to tie mental condition OF the
prisoner previous to the shooting of Fisk
was w. F. @. Shanks, On editor Of 1ri.
6une, who was brought from prison in
Brooklyn. He said Stokes had told him
that Fisk had put the price on his
(Stokes) head; that two men were alter
him, and that he carried pistol for his

given, going to show that Stokes believed
Fisk or some OF bis followers would shoot
him. ...-.......
Jennie Turner, waiting maid To- the

and look into parlor 81, pass, on and turn
back and look In again, and then goto the
head Of the ladies' staircase. Tommy
Hart was not IN sight; was cleaning q
globe around the corner Of the elevator.
She went around the elevator TO speak to
Hart, when the report Of q pistol was
heard, and Stokes came back looking
very pale, and cried out twice, "Get o
doctor" She then went 10 the head Of
the ladies' staircase and saw Fisk, wound.
cd. A lady coming up the stairs picked
up pistol on the fourth step and handed
It 10 a gentleman. She told what she had
seen 10 the Morses. ~.
William H.. Thompson, Professor OF
Materia AIedica In the University, gave 1t
as his opinion that Fisk died from the ef.
Iects oi drugs administered after he was
shot.
After recess Stokes was placed on the
stand. He testified asto the business re-
lations between himself and Fisk. He
related the story oithe court room In the
Mansfield libel case on the morning Of the
murder; his interview with Mr.. Sprague,
Mayor OF Utica, regarding his proposed
visit to Providence, r. l., and the fear
that Fisk would have him brought back
on requisition. He then related the cir.
cumstauce Of his visit 10 the Grand Cen.
tral Hotel and described the encounter
with Fisk; the latter, he said, came up
stairs with the pistol In both hands,
cooking 1t as he came up; he shout.
ed to Fisk not TO shoot; he then
himself fred two shots with the pistol In
the gloved hand, and then dropped the
weapon. Described his arrest, and said
the evidence Of the boy Hart Is entirely
manufactured. His testimony Is substan.
TALLY the same as already published:
A slight passage at arms occurred be
tween Mr.. Tremaine, Of Stokes counsel,

by the government, the only way ol relief
