The More Murder TriaI.
SAN BUENAvENTURA, July 49,
This morning business was
promptly mmenced, and ii. II.
More was sworn, and testified that
he had employed the witnesses,
Jim Tat, Ferguson and Ramirez, ,
since the murder. He had also
conversed often with the witness,
jesse Jones.
The prosecution excepted
to the reporters statement
that More had been found with the
juror Prince, in presence of the
Sheriff. Mr.. Raymond insisted on
his statement of fact. He did not
believe there was anything wrong
on the part of the juror, but More
should not have been .here.
Hartley Sprague testified that
his father, the prisoner, was at
home on the night of the murder.
Mrs. Churchill testified that her
husband and McCart, two of the
prisoners, were at home that night,
the latter being quite sick.
Mrs. Hunt, the wife of another
prisoner, testified that her husband
had to get up on the fatal night to
drive stock off his unfenced barley
field-a circumstance which often
happened in that dry year.
Another daughter OF the prison.
er Sprague testified that there was
no water in a certain slough where
Jones had sworn there was.
The chances now are that the
case will not reach the jury before
Monday night, at the earliest. The
taxpayers are becoming appalled,
at tile probable size of the bills by
the time all the prisoners are tried.
Most of the scores of witnesses
live In the country, and the mileage
on subp9aas, ETC., is immense, and
on the preliminary examination
many witnesses were allowed
money on the ground that they
were unable to remain in town and
pay hotel and stable bills.
