/ it. The testimony thst Mrs. Poster, known at
| Jacinto az 1.-THE Rosebud, was o. the steps
of the store and INDUCED in considerable
screaming at the tine Of or Immediately after
| the shooting, has caused comment, and it is
stated that she was subpenasd by ths prose-
! cution at Sacramento, sDd has since been
| kept in seclusion az a small town about ten
miles distant from this place. Although her
name did not appear in the list of witnesses
read by prosecution, the assertion that she is
| not far distant is strengthened by the fact
| that her husbsnd-scquired since her retire
ment from Jacinto-wss in Colusa On Fri
| day, and was in company of counsel for the
prosecution, after which he was driven away
in private conveyance.
