The trial Of John F. Burrs on the charge
of embezzlement was continued before
Judge Murphy and jury yesterday. All day
long BurriS' wife and little daughter sat be-
side him while lie conducted his own de-
tense.
DR.. Woolsey of the Oakland Hospital,
where the money advanced by Hogreye was
to have been deposited, testified that he
never received the $500.
Mr. Wray, a street contractor, testified
that he made numerous attempts 10 obtain
the money from Burris that Hogreve ad-
vaDced. or else a certificate OF deposit. but
BurrIs always made some excuse OF other,
and it was finally discovered that he had
never given it TO DR.. Woolsey at all. He
then pretended That he had it al home, but
always forgot 10 bring it with him.
During the afternoon BurriS made the
first definite announcement OF his proposed
defense. He was ipterrogating witnesses
in an apparently random and purpGseless
way, when the Judge stopped him and de-
clared that no more such examination
should be allo we'd until the Court under
stood what it was all about
