To-Day's Proceedings Ia the Mare
Case.
SAN BUENAvENTURA, April H.
The prosecution in the More case
has been all day putting in zorro:
borative evidence from Swanson
and Cook, the two discharged pris-
oners, and two other citizens who
were in the neighborhood at the
time of the murder, one of whom
found some crrtridges, shells and II
bullet on the ground near the spot.
1 No testimony will be introduced by
the defence, so that it is. GAetain all
the prisoners will be com mitted to
await the action of the GrandJury.
II is positively assertedthat Hunt,
\ the man arrested last night, is the
soul of the plot and that he had
| witnesses, including himself, ready
to prove an alibi on the part of
each of the prisoners, but
his arrest and the full comics.
sion of Jones disarranges all.
1t now appears that Hickerson and
Brown simultaneously disclosed to
the authorities what they knew of
the matter, each ignorant of what
was being done by the other De-
tective Hall, of San Francisco, was
securing evidence from both at the
same time, while Detective Harris,
of Los Angeles, and his deputy
were getting a full confession from
Jesse Jones. The last named is
guarded separately from the other
prisoners since his confession. He
probably would not be very safe at
night in u cell with his late COM
panions.

The President Won't.
WASHINGTON, April 11th.-The
President does not seem the lea ST
disturbed by the action of the
recent Republican caucus. Those
nearest him socially and political
ly say there is no probability
whatever that he will do as re-
quested by the resolutson of Sena-
tor Sargent in caucus last night
rescind his order forbidding the
participation in political meetings
of officials in the Executive branch
of the Civil Service. These friends
do not think it prabable that any
such request will be made by the
Congressional Committee, though
they may confer with the President
on political affairs generally in
view of the approaching election.
They say that the President never
