SAN BUENAvENTURA, July 90
The prosecution this morning In
the Srague case was steadily work
ing away at bolstering up the testi-
mony of their witnesses. A. d.
Barnard was called to relate the
attending the sale OF
Browns place and the disappear
ance Of the notes given for it by
Willoughby. Barnard stated that
he managed the transaction and
had the notes assigned to w. A..
of Oakland, for no consid-
Grafton, to prevent Browns
creditors from annoying him. He
thought Browns place worth $4,000
with good title; went with de-
tective Hall to see Brown and drew
the notes VIII ich he received for the
land. The prosecution then at
tempted to account for the myste-
rious wagon load of men seen by
different parties on the night of the
going towards the More
ranch in the evening and coming
from that direction before day light.
For this purpose s. Cohen was
called and testified that he had TAX
en- a wagon load ofladies to a dance
that night but in an opposite direc.
ton from that sworn to by the wit
nesses for defence. This was evil

Rather unexpectedly, both sides
rested about eleven O'clock to-day,
and the Court suggested that argu-
ment should be commenced at
once. To this counsel on both
sides demurred, and it was finally
agreed that argument by two coun-
sel on each side should commence
Monday morning at eight O'Clock,
with the expectation of getting
through during that day and eve-
ming. Should the jury agree, the
