FREEMAN TEsrIF1Es.


He Does Not Know How Feeney Met
His Death.
The trial of Charles Freeman, charged
with murder, was resumed yesterday morn
ing.
Freeman Immediately took the stand to
testify in his own behalf. In answer to
questions by his attorney, Charles N. Post,
he gave history of his life up to the day
of Mark Feeney's death. On that day, he
said, he and Archie Wilke were out hunt
ing together. and as evening approached
they returned to Antelope, where they had
several drinks. They started for their
cabin at $50 o'clock. Upon arriving at
the creek Freeman forded it in order to
make short cut, and called to Wilke to
follow. Wilke refused and a quarrel fol-
lowed. They walked to the bridge together,
quarreling all the way, and finally wound
up in fight, in which Wilke was badly
worsted. They then returned to the cabin,
and subsequently found Feeney's body IN
the water barrel.
Now, Mr.. Freeman, said ATTORNEY Post.
"have you any knowledge of how Mark
Feeney came to his death; or did you have
any hand in putting him to death ?"
{ No, sir" was Freeman's emphatic re-
ply.
Assistant, District Attorney A. J. Bruner
then subjected Freeman to most thorough
and rigorous cross examination. Under
his fire Freeman admitted that he had
complained frequently of Feeney because
of the latter's affiiction, and said that he
told Mr.. DeKay, their employer, that unless
Feeney was discharged he would lose him
(Freeman). Feeney coughed great deal
at night, and kept the others awake.
Mr. Bruner went over every portion of
Freemans testimony and questioned the
defendant closely regarding every detail.
Although Freeman wavered at some points,
and showed his temper at others, as the
rule be kept to his story and persisted that
he had nothing to do with Feeneys death
OF course, his testimony was in direct con-
tradiction to that of Wilke and the other
witnesses.
When Freeman finished his testimony
noon had arrived. SO recess was taken.
In the afternoon the defense proceeded to
impeach the principal witness for the pros.
ecution, WilEe, and number of persons
were placed on the witness stand who tes-
titled that his general reputation for truth,
honesty and integrity was bad.
A young man named Wilson, who is
dong time in the County Jail for petit
larceny, also testified that about three
weeks ago he heard Wilke-who was also
held in jail-say that he would hang
Freeman If swearing would do it.n
Attorney Post at this point announced
that he had presented all of his testimony
with the exception of that of man who
lived over in Yolo county, and who he had
been unable to summon. 1t was important,
he said, that this witness should testify,
and he therefore asked for continuance of
the case until Monday.
One of the Jurors who had ticket to the
Judge Van Fleet granted the motion and
the Juror was happy

The Palmer Case.

The wearisome arguments on the petit
tion of II. J. Palmer for q writ of habeas
corpus again consumed several hours in
Judge Armstroug's Court yesterday. De-
PENDANTS counsel urged that the omission
of certain entries from the books of the
Fair ranch was the fault of clerk, and
not of Palmer. The Court took the matter
under adyisement.

Moran Was Defeated.

The Comique Theater was packed last
night, and better satisfied crowd probably
never left the place. The glove contest be-
tween Morrissey and Moran was one Of
the best ever seen in Sacramento. 1t was a
trial of skill and hard-hitting from the
start. Morrissey was the more cool-headed
OF the two, and this, together with his
straight hitting, won the contest. Moran
fought gamely, but succumbed in the
seventh round to crushing blow in the
law

THE CROPS.

Signal Observer Barwick Receives His
First Weekly Bulletins.
The following reports from the weekly
crop bulletin observers have been received
by Sergeant Barwick up to p. NJ. yester.
day, in answer to his request therefor
made through the RECORD UNION on Fri
day morning:
Napa City-W. n. Martin, the Observer
says the temperature has been about the
average, and has affected the grain crop
favorably, with the average amount of SUM-
shine, which has also affected the grain
favorably. The grain crop in the vicinity
of Napa is very small this year, on account
of the heavy winter rains, but the fruit
crop is about the average. Grapes are do
ing well. The rainfall during the past
seven days was % inches.
Wheatland = William Gumbard, OBJ.
server. The rainfall has been above the
average, and the temperature about aver.
age. The sunshine is about the average,
and has affected the grain crop very favor.

Folsom. II. Sturgis, Observer, reports
the past seven days as very favorable to all
fruit crops, as sunshine is what is now

Tehama-The prospects are for over hall
crop. The past winter has decreased the
agricultural prospects in this vicinity very
unfavorably. The past weeks sunshine
has affected the wheat crop favorsbly.

die.
The jury that tried the H. III. Boyce
extortien, or blackmail case last week,
stayed out all Saturday and until late
yesterday afternoon. At O'Clock Judge
Shaw discharged them as unable to
agree ss to the guilt or innocence OF the
defendant. Four several times the
jury was called into the court and ask ed
if they had agreed, but each time the
same negative answer was given. The
court gave such further instructions on
points of law as were asked by the jury,
but all was in vain.
As the secl cts of the jury room trickle
out and percolate through the people on
the streets it appears that the last
ballot taken showed the jury was
actually "six of one and half a dozen Of
the other" but it also leaks out that al
one time the jury stood nine for guilty to
three for innocent. Then it is also
stated that the twelve men all were ol
the opinion that Boyce's story about the
stock transaction was false; but those
for acquittal thought no threats had
been used to obtain the $50 from Jus
tice Savage, but that he gave that sum
up voluntarily to keep the story out o.
papers other than the Tribune.
The report is current that when the
jury was discharged, by some oversight
the defendant was not present, and tha
this lache on the part of the District At
torney will operate to prevent the cast
being tried second time.

"Talking of people eating" said a
robust looking woman recently, "did
you know that great many people take
their food through their nose."

friend.
"Just this. I can satisfy my hunger
at any time by merely inhaling the odors
of cooking. The aroma of coffee for in
stance, sustains and exhilarates me. A
beefsteak flavor is as satisfactory as q
full meal. Any cook will tell you that. /"
"Then why should people eat?"
"They don't eat when they can get a
full line of cooking odors. That is why
tramps hang around the open doors of
Kitchens and restaurants. Did you ever
feast on the smell of warm gingerbread ?

America as a Naval Power.

The advent of the Americans on the
high eeas as the first naval power in the
world is az certain as the rising of the
sun, but hitherto the development of the
navy of the United States has been slow
The Secretary of the Navy at Washing
ton is. however, moving in the matter,
and his latest report recommends the
building of two fleets of battleships, eight
for the Pacific and twelve for the Allan
tic, twenty coast.defense ships and five
first class torpedo boats. This is, ol
course, only fancy programme. But il
has substance enough in it to give stim-
ulus to the hope that before long an
Anglo-Americsn flag may be unfurled
which will represent the combined naval
forces of the English-speaking world

style at Tea Spreads.

At ultra tea-spreads the hostess serves
nothing else, but each cup is separately
brewed. For this purpose she uses o
small perforated silver ball of berry or
nut pattern, to which fine chain is at
tached. The ball opens in the center,
and when filled with oolong or orange
pikoe, is closed and dropped into cup of
hot water. In a very few minutes,
usually before the smallest piece of
scandal can be sketched, the ball is
drawn out, the lees emp led into silver
tursen and another cup prepared. Some
times the tea ia served in small tarletan
bags of various colors and different
varieties, and piled on platter near the
kettle or urn. A bag is tossed into a
cup, and when the aroma is extracted ii
is pulled out by thread and dropped
into the slop bowl.-[New York World.
