told by prominent man that 1t was
commonly believed that White was
insane. He was overcome with emotion,
fell on the sofa and cried. She asked
him not to make any noise in her house
and went out on the porch. When she
came back he asked her again for the
name of the person who had slandered
him. She refused. He had a revolver
in his pocket. 1t had worked out OF it
and as he felt it was going to fall he put
his hand on his pistol and Mrs. White
ran away screaming. lie did not know
what he was doing. He rushed after
her. He placed the pistol back in his
pocket and tried to catch her to bring
her back before she could go to the
neighbors and tell them that he had
tried to kill her. He grabbed her as she
went down the steps. He caught her
hair. She turned and struck him. She
screamed and fought like tigress. His
impression was that she fell over little
tree. As she rose, she called to Mrs.
Powers for help. He let her go and
somebody calling him contemplate
cur he went away. He made a most
voluble address to the jury, which was
frequently cut short on the ground of
it's responsibility. Mrs. White cried
very much just before White left the
stand, when reference was made to the
divorce and the causes that led to it.
When he admitted that he had offered
to take up section of public land when
she could come to live with him without
remarrying, Mrs. White buried her eyes
in her pocket handkerchief. He denied
striking her on the lawn.
The arguments commenced at 8 :15.
Mr.. Hardesty spoke briefly for the people
and White then launched forth on his
own behalf. As his talk to the jury was
not concluded at :15 Judge Cheney con-
tinued the case until 10 O'Clock to-
morrow.

MR.. WHITES TRIAL.
He is His Own Lawyer With the
Usual Result

In the White case yesterday the pro-
secution proved by Johnny Lang, IA
year-old boy that he had seen the defen-
dant holding Mrs. White by the throat,
and pulling her hair. At that time he
stated that his wife had ruined him.
The boy had seen the handle of pistol
in Whites pocket
DIR. Morrison, police surgeon, who ex-
amined Mrs. White on the 22d of June,
found her right shoulder broken, vari-
Gus bruises about the body and face and
the thumb swollen. She was confined
to bed about six weeks. Her condition
was serious but not dangerous, White
tried to prove by the witness that bel
ladona, used by Mrs. White during a
previous sickness, had affected her so
as to cause mental trouble. The doctor
negatived the proposition. This closed
the case for the prosecution.
The testimony given in the lower court
of Mrs. Clara Powers, now in San Fran
cisco, was read by the defendant as part
of his defense. 1t states that White
held his wi fe under the chin with one
hand and his other hand was in her
hair; her tongue was partly out. They
were in a reclining position on the lawn
and Mrs. White calling for help. When
Mrs. Powers attempted to approach,
White extended his hand and said that
if she came step nearer she would en-
danger her life.
The testimony of Henry Friedrichs
was also read by White. He had seen
Mr.. White kick his wife, but did not see
him strike her.
White now took the stand and wished
to read his testimony but this was
refused. He made a rambling state
ment the gist of which is as follows:
On the Sunday when the trouble took
place he went to her house. She came
into the room where he was with the

HE WAS ASHAMED
To Ask Again, but His Frank Letter Got
1t for Him.

A few months ago one of the unfortunate in
mates in the San Francisco Almshouse was
inspired by the sensational statements in the
newspapers with the belief that joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla would help him. But without
money, how to get 1t was the question. Finally
he wrote to the Edwin W. Joy Co., appealing to
their generosity, and it was not unheeded, the
coveted preparation being sent by the next

Railroad men, like all other salaried
workers, are always in hurry for their
money, and SO the special engine which
transports the pay car always travels at Il
high rate of speed. Yesterday as the
pay train of the Southern California
road was approaching Santa Ana, the
engineer saw team drive on the track
at the street crossing. He had given the
necessary signals but the two men in
the wagon paid no attention. The engi-
neer tried to stop in time but was unsuc-
cessful and the result was that the wagon
was smashed to pieces, while the two
persons who proved to be Mr.. r. Robin
