Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-14
HEARD ON THE TRAIN.
WITNESSES FOR JACOB TAYLOR
LIABLE TO BE IMPEACHED.
Tho Suit of Jessie Marshall Against the
Rich Hotel-keeper of Del Mar-The
Case Continued Until Monday.

Another large crowd gathered in
Judge McKinley's court yesterday to
hear the salacious developments ex-
pected in the $4,000 damage suit
brought by Jessie Marshall against ia
cob Taylor. j. A. Wisner testified that
he had lived at the Del Mar hotel. He
was very we'll acquainted with Taylor,
and never noticed that he treated Jessie
Marshall any different than the other
girls. The witness stated that he never
knew anything wrong about Taylor and
Miss Marshall.
U. Bennett is brother-in-law of the
defendant and a livery-stable keeper at
San Diego. He testified that Dennis
O'Brien and Miss Marshall were very in
innate and that he had often rented
them teams. The witness also stated
that .O'Brien had left word to let
Miss Marshall have team whenever
she came for one. Bennett also testified
that on one occasion he went to
O'Brien's room to collect bill, and
that he found Miss Marshall and
O'Brien occupying the same bed. Ben
nett on cross-examination varied little
from his original story.
O'Brien and Reiter were both put on
the stand and questioned in regard to a
conversation that took place on the
incoming San Diego train last Sunday.
They were asked if, while discuss
ing the case, one had not told the other
that there would be five hundred or a
thousand in it if he testified the same
way that the speaker would. Both
denied ever having had any
such conversation. The attorneys
for the girl expect to produce on
Monday two men who overheard the
conversation. One of the men who sat
in an opposite seat from the witness on
the San Diego train told HERALD re-
porter that he had overheard such a con-
versation and that he thought he could
identity the man who made such an
offer. In fact, he was positive that he
could recognize both the men, and judg-
ing from the descriptions in the papers,
he was of the opinion that O'Brien was
the man who had said that it would be
worth so much to the other to testify as
he did. This latest development pro-
misses to have a decided bearing ON the
case, as O'Brien and Reiter are the
main witnesses for the defence.
John Works testified that he lived at
Sorrento, four miles from San Diego.
Works testified that Dennis O'Brien and
Jessie Marshall had beer and wine at
his place, and that they had visited
Sorrento several times together. The
witness stated that this was in August
and September in 1888. Once Jessie
Marshall, Reiter, girl called Tessie and
strange man called at Sorrento to-
gether.
Jacob S. Taylor was recalled to the
stand and questioned concerning a
waiter named Joe Wright. He stated
that he knew Wright, but did not know
where he was now. Had made in
quiries to find him. At 2:3O Attorney
Otis announced that the defendants
rested their case.
Several witnesses were called in re-
buttal by Attorney Williams. Mrs.
Wilson said she never knew such per-
son as Bostwick, and there was no such
person in her family. No such person
ever lived at Newhall.
Frank Tanning was shown bill and
questioned in regard to the handwriting
1t was livery bill from Bennett, and
Tanning testified that miss Jessie" had
been erased and the name Dennis
O'Brien inserted. He also testified that,
in his opinion, there were four different
handwritings on the bill.
The court took recess at O'Clock.
The case will be continued Monday.
