Mrs. Mcdonald Gives Some Re /.
markab bic Testimony.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Mrs.
Clara Belle Mcdonald was placed on
the stand in the Swain trial to-day.
She testified that she had placed the
diamonds, alleged to have been stol-
en-, in Swalm's hands, with instruo-
tions for him to deliver them to Mrs.
Scoville in New York, and she pre-
sented receipt for them signed by
Swain in which these facts are set
forth. Witness said that she did this
for the purpose of preventing her hus-
band from gaining possession of the
diamonds. The prosecution will claim
that the receipt was written few
days ago and not at the time of
Swalm's flight, as stated by Mrs. Nc
Donald.

killing them. They then burned the
