The morning call., 1890-05-16

until at length Arnold was compelled to say:
Tarness, Tor Gods sake stop talking about this
thing or you will drive me crazy. / don't want
10 hear any more about IT,
'1ulS went on until December 81 ST. when an
other circular came, as did the others, through
The mail. This we will introduce at the proper
lime. On January 10th Mr.. Arnold came 10 San
francisco and met man named Miller, whom
lie asked II lie knew yet who the author of the
circulars was Miller asked: Have you never
thought OF GarncSs@ MIR. Arnold replied that
he had not, and stated that Ganess was his
ftiend. he ass ed OF Miller what possible object
Garness could have. Miller answered him that
IL was delicate subject, but he would say 10
him that Garness wanted his money and his
wife.
THE OCCIDENTAL MEETING.
shortly after this Arnold met Ward and Gar
ness In the Occidental HoIel, but nothing was
said about the circulars. Garness had told Ar
mold that he had had IL from Ward that ArnoIu's
Daughter. who was ar Mills Seminar WAS in
the hab II OF coming to San Francisco and re-
naming over night. Ward then denied that he
had made such statement, and Arnold told
Garness that he believed he had lied.
we Will show that al this time Arnold had no
pistol IN his oVeTcoat pocket aud that il was his
custom when talking TO carry his hand in that
pocket.
ITO continue, however, Arnold returned to his
home on January 18TH, but Immediately came
back 10 San Francisco In answer TO a telegram
and learned from Nh. Bennett that the Septem-
Der circular had been mailed at the Sacramento
depot. W bile walking on the street lie met Gar
ness, who asked him TO take drink. Arnold
declined. On the following day he went 10 Cur
LIN, ueieCllFe aUu nau 4 consultation. Inls
was on the 3Oth OF January. We Will show you
what must have been The condition OF his mind
at that time. From Curtin's Office he walked
up Market street and again met Garness In
stantly IL flashed upon him that he would have a
talk with Garncss. Garness asked Arnold In to
drink. ana led the way 10 one OF tue back rooms.
What occurred there We will prove TO you, ana
snow, TOO, what the condition of Arnolds mind
was at that time.
AUTHOR OF THE CIRCULARS.
Gentlemen, we viii prove to you by undis-

inator of those circulars was Samuel w. Gar
ness, and IN that room in the Peerless Saloon he
confessed II. After they were seated Garness
referred 10 The circulars, and Arnold said 10 him:
.Garness, you wrote them. Miller told me so,
aud l believe it,
'At this point we will prove that Garness
always carried pistol, and on seeing that he
was corneTed made confession and put his
hand back 10 craw a pistol. Arnold was too
quick for him and shot him four times The
hTSI shot, gentlemen, was undoubtedly the one
which struck Garness In the chest. We VIII
but before be could use IL the second shot struck
him in the wrist. He dropped bis pistol and
stopped &c pick 1t up. Then II was that the
thlrd shot struck him In the back and ranged
down.
"In addition to all this we Will put upon the
stand the printer who got SO for printing the
circulars, and tie two boys whose business it
was 10 set up the type from which they were
printed. Wa Will also put upon the stand the
man 10 whom Garness paid $50 TO write and
distribute the circulars. We VIII then show TO
you thai Garness offered TO pay Examiner

Then he said to this reporter GO 10 Cousa aud
tell them that you represent the Chronicle. Tell

more than this Will establish that Ward
sent reporter 10 Garness for the material
which was flerward published in Ine Evening
Post, aud that the reporter refused TO touch II,
saying: 1 wouldn't write that thing up for $780,
That Garness said to a Chronicle reporter:

wife, or l Will have his nfe'
We hope TO prove further that Garness said
TO Miller that he would have Arnod's lie, and
when cautioned to be careful lie replied: Il al

This closed the statement, which occupied
about an hour and which made a decided sensa-
tlon IN the COURTROOM.
