Habits ard Dtmeanor of Goldberg De.
scribed by Those Who KNEW Him.

The trial of Mile Panhorst was con
Quoted with closed doors yesterday, thu
nature of the testimony generally being I'M
fit for the public ear.
DR.. w. B. Coffey, who was present when
the dying declaration was being taken, sale
that Goldberg was using the most vile and
profane language, even after he knew he
was about to die.
j ohm Murray. an intimate acquaintance 81
the deceased testified that he had visited
Miss Panhorst with Goldberg, and noticing
her strange condition asked after they had
left the house what was the matter with
her. Goldberg replied that he had COM
municated loathsome disease to her, but
that she was being treated for it.
The witness is an employe of the Rath-
skeller Saloon, and he said that on the night
of the shooting Goldberg was in the saloon
with another young woman, whom he re-
ferred 10 as the new Mrs. Goldberg He
said that Miss Panhorst was a frequent viSi-
tor Of the Ratbskeller, but always in Gold
berg's company.
DR.. Happenberger, who declined on
Wednesday to answer Mr.. Wilson's question
that his attorney had advised him to answer

some diseases known to medical science

the unfortunate young woman, and In De-

THE STEPFATHER RECALLED.
Mr.. KlesOw was again called. On cross
examination MIR. Campbell sought to learn
If his stepdaughier was not in the habit Of
running away rom home. Klesow replied
that he had never known her to be away
more than a week at time, and even then
only once that he did not know where She
was. That time she had been living with
Goldberg on the corner Of McAllister and
Laguna streets.
"When found her." lie continued, "She
told NE that Goldberg said he would marry
her, but that he mad not done SO. told
her she had better come home and wait
until he married her lawfully. 1had cou-
versation with her about Goldberg, and l
told her thought he was no good"
DR.. William III. Sebert testified that on
the way to the hospital, after the fatal shoot
ing, Goldber2's language was very profane.
Mir. Campbell thought that any man shot
through the lntestines and being Jolted over
rough pavement in an express wagon
would be apt to swear little.
Mrs. Mary Williams, who keeps furnished
rented a room of her about year ago which
he used MS an Office. He was so very noisy
there and bad constantly running to see him
so many objectionable characters, women in
particular, that she gave him notice to Quit
Her principal reason for such course was
that she had heard that he had just placed a
young girl named Bessie, II years old, in a
house OF ill-fame.
HE WOULD NOT MARRY HER.
Charles Jansen knew Goldberg in March
last and on one occasion heard him say that
he did not care anything for Miss PanhOrst
and did not intend to marry her. He knew
that the deceased carried pistol, too, for the
man showed it to him one night while in
half-drunken condition.
Charles HartOn, a Chronicle reporter, re-
peated some of Goldberg's language at the
City and County Hospital on the night OF
the shooting. He asked the dying man if he
wouldn't tell the facts of the shooting, but
he refused. Finally HHrton asked if lie was
willing to die and leave his father and
mother and friends,n ignorance of the cause
Of the shooting Goldberg replied angrily,
''Oh, -- them all, what do they care
for me?" lie afterward stated, however,
that the cause of the shooting was jealousy.
Mrs. Hermann, an elder sister of Miss
l'anhorst, testified to having seen Goldberg
in the possession of a pistol 1t wash
April last while he was calling at klesow's
house to see Mile. He carried it in his
rlghl-n2nu CVercOaL pocket ana threatened
on that occasion 10 make use OF it. The
witness said she made a movement for it,
whereupon he pulled 1t out and then pushed
it back in his pocket
Alfred Cohen, at one time an intimate
friend of Goldberg testified that the latter
confessed to him his diseased condition :;
also that he was the cause Of Miss Pan
h0Ist'S similar trouble.
An adjournment was taken until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
