SIDNEY BELLS TRIAL
Corroborative Evidence for the
Prosecutions Case.
Miss Alice jacobson, Sister of the Murdered
Man, Narrates the Incidents Immedi-
ately Following the Shooting.

Public Interest In Bells trial for murder
seems to be growing, IL the constantly in
creasing number of spectators in the court
room is any criterion. The attendance was
so great yesterday that exit from the room
was almost impossible. Nothing new was
ELECTED from Charles II. Bateman, who had
been on the stand on the preceding afternoon.
The next witness was Thomas Grove Of
2913 Pine street. who testified that on the
night of August 10th he took Car 10 Of the
California line. arriving about II 80 at Web
ster street. where lie observed two men
standing at the northwest corner. He did
not notice a passenger leave the car at the
corner, although it was possible for one to
have alighted unobserved by him. When
the car had proceeded about 125 feet north
Of Webster street he heard shot, but on
looking back saw no one, although he heard
some one running on the south side OF California
toward Webster.
Harry G. Price, grIpman Of Car 10. which lett
the corner OF Kearny and California streets at
12:16 O'Clock in the morning, testified that on
that trip passenger with black mustache,
wearing silk hat. stepped off the south side OF
the dummy at the southwest corner OF Webster
street. About twenty Sc conds later when half
way 10 Fillmore, lie heard shot. He did not
notice anybody standing on the corner OF Web
ster and California streets as he passed. 1t wa $
his last trip, aud lie did not look at The street
corners, reserving his observation Tor the car
house.
JACoBsoN's COMPANION.
c. j. Sullivan, life insurance agent, said he
knew jacobson, and parted from him the cor
ner OF KearDy and Suffer streets about ~ :05 on
the night of the tragedy. jacobson had had TWO
zer three drinks, but was perfectly sober. They
had been at the Ir0quois Club, and jacobson left
him TO take the California street car.
DIR. e. w. Fuller Of 2S06 California street ex-
planned the circumstances OF his summons 10 at
tend jacobson after the shooting. The witness
identified the coat and waistcoat of Jacobson.

which were admitted In evidence. DIR. Fuler'S
testimony regarding the location OF the wound.
which he said was necessarily fatal corrOb0r-
ated the testimony OF the other physicians who
have been witnesses. When lie entered The
house he smelt smoke like that of gunpowder,
and asked for the coat. which was brought TO
him burning.
Upon the resumption Of the trial after the noon
recess E. f. HeacOck, jinitor of the Cooper
Medical College, testified that soon after mid
night on August 16lh lie left California-street
car at the northeast corner of Webster street. A
riedly up The steps OF 2o09 Webster street aud
then down again. Attracted by this unusual
proceeding he turned 10 watch the man, aud Then
noticed two others standing on the northwest
corner. Proceeding 10 his room IN the college
he retired and, soon after, heard 4 noise which
sounded like hre-cracker or a toy pistol.

Their Destssesios C1ltlvases the .Ggswon0
Corn and Root Crops.
The farmer prepares his seed bed BY
furnishing fertilizers, by making tho
ground mellow and bringing the plant
food within reach Of the RIOTS Of the
growing grain. So-called hoed crops
need to have the ground made frisblo
and pulverizcd after every rain and
"between tines" because frequently
showers are like angels visits-3ew
and far between" - proved by last
years experience In many parts Of Mis-
souri, and elsewhere.
But there never was . season 50 wet
or so dry that the weeds did not grow
apace. Indeed. they win cover all tho
ground unless destroyed by the frr-
quent cultivation and hoeing.
Just here is where blessing comes in.
The destruction of the weeds cultivates
the growing maize, the cabbages. tho
root crops, etc, and but for the weeds
many lazy farmer would use neither
hoe. cultivator nor plow and thus suffer
the soil to bake and thus cut short his
crops often to more than 50 per cent
''Ah. hal" says the farmer. 'Oh. hO!"
says the corn. An Observant and sue
cessful farmer once made the remark
that There was as much manure st
the tail end Of plow as in the barn
yard" That is q pretty strong state
ment and . very large grain of truth.
Every plant or weed-dehned Is plant
out Of place-with its leaves. blades
and roots becomes fertilizer or green
manure.
Wise farmers plow under clover, rye
or buckwheat for improving the con-
dition or fertility of the soil. and the
roots Of clover form no inc0nsidersblo
portion of the plant as fertilizer.
Clover is embraced in every rotation or
system Of farm crops, and is worthy Of
the place.
Some weeds arc 50 tenacious Of lifc
and will grow from ever 50 small .
portion of root or ever 80 minute .
seed that legislatures have enacted
laws for their destruction and imposed
fines for the careless AMI neglectful
farmer. And this is wisc. The work
in this direction ought to be moro

laws. after having been enacted. ought
10 be enforced without fear or favor
