accident or violence. The ditch is only three
feet deep. She was evidently drowned in the

with her neighbors about water.
The Lexington Murder Case-RepOrters
Out In the Cold.
SAN JOSH, March 28sh.-Great popnlsr
interest is taken in the struggle between the
reporters and the attorney for Majors, one of
the alleged Lexington murdeEsrs, who is now
having secret examination with Jewell and
Showers. The reporters gained admission
yesterday as counsel for Showers, but this
morning Justice Veuve decided to e1pei
them, as the newspapers showed they were
present for the sole purpose OF making re-
ports. Public sympathy is with the reporters,
as Justice Veuve knew yesterday when he
admitted them that they intended to make
reports. The reporters Immediately pus
another plan in operation, and are in possess
sion Of full reports. The affair arouses much
discussion, and further developments may
occur, as Majors attorney is determined to
ciIcumvent the reporters. and they are equally
bent on not being beaten.
Showers was cloeely crosg-sxsmined to-day,
but never wavered from bis original state
ment. He gave the new fact that Jewell
told him before the murder that there was a
place in the mountains where no one had
been for ten or twelve years, and where he
(Jewell) could hide.
Fred. Perkins testified that he discovered,
the morning after the murder, that his horse,
which was in a stable near Majors ssloop,
had been ridden the night before, rs there
were sweat snd bride marks, and bride
which had been in pieces was put together,
| showing that it had been used.
w. y. Gsuflsy testified that he heard
horse pass his houfe on the road from Los
Gatos to Lexington on Sunday night-the
night of the murder. He also testified that
| his clerk sold Majors pair Of pincers before
| the murder.
| The object of this evidepce is probably TO
show that Majors went to Gsnnwden's house
| and burned it after Jewell and Showers mad
committed the murder and fed, aud also
that he gave Jewell the pincars.
Majors and Jewell still deny the t.uth Of
Showers confession.
