TAYLOR PERJURY CASE.
THE DEL MAR DON JUAN AGAIN IN
COURT.
He Now is Defendant in a Criminal Case
AsLot of Court Notes-New Gases
Which Were Filed Yesterday.

The preliminary examination INTO the
case against ]. S. Taylor, the Del Mar
hotel man charged with perjury, was re-
sumed yesterday afternoon before
Justice Stanton in the township court.
But little progress was made, however,
as some of the with esses were unable to
reach here in time.
Miss Mabel T. Moore, a severe-looking
young woman, who wore spectacles,
from Laredo, Texas, testified that she
was formerly clerk and manager OF the
Del Mar hotel. She it was who took the
$50 to MISS Jessie Marshall and wit
messed her signature to the document in
which the latter certified that the de-
fendant was not the father of her child.
The. witness was questioned at some
length as to the various letters written
by Miss Marshall from Phoenix, Ariz.,
all Of which ground was covered three
weeks ago.
P. III. Springer, of the Southern Pa
cific company's Office, was called and
testified to having sold a round-trip
ticket to Kansas City to Taylor in Octo-
ber, 1889, which was good until April 10,
1890. This evidence was evidently for
the purpose of proving an alibi. The
case will be resumed this afternoon.

one offense was charged that the facts
stated therein did not constitute pub
lie offense, and that it contained matter,
which, il true, constituted legal iusti-
