| THE TAYLOR PERJURY CASE.
] The preliminary examination OF the
case against Jacob Taylor, the Del Mar
hotel man charged with perjury, was re-
sumed before Justice Stanton yesterday
in the township court.
For the past two days the Longley
brothers, who, as official court reporters,
took the testimony given in the superior
court during the sensational MARSHALL
Taylor seduction case in shorthand, have
been on the witness stand translating
their notes OF the testimony given by
the defendant, but yesterday morning
the complainant was called to the stand
and the examination commenced in
earnest.
Miss Jessie Marshall, who was unac-
companied by "Baby Bess'' for the first
time, was evidently suffering from Sc
we're cold, but she gave her evidence in
a clear and decisive manner, which in
huenced her auditors very favorably in
her behalf. She testified to accom-
panying Taylor to Phoenix, Arizona,
upon certain occasion, and returning
with him again to this part OF the coun-
try. The same testimony concerning
this trip was offered as upon the former
trial. She went into details, and told
all that took place while they were at
Phoenix, how she happened to go, and
what they did on their return. She re-
lated many circumstances OF the trip, all
going to prove that she was under the
care Of Taylor, and that he had improper
relations with her. The latter upon the
former trial denied that che was his
travelling companion upon the occasion
in question, or that he had criminal re-
! lations with her.
Marshall related the circumstances sur
rounding the signing OF document by
her that Taylor was not the father of her
then unborn child. She said TAYLOR
was represented by Miss Moore, who
told her that if she would sign such
paper Taylor would give her 500 and
$50 per month until she was able to go to
work again. At the time. the witness
said she was destitute and had had no
food for two days; she signed the paper
in fit of desperation. The defense
made strong effort to keep out the de-
tails of the signing of this paper, but
the court overruled the objection. The
court said it desired to get at all the
material facts, so as to be able to Judge
whether or not Taylor had committed
perjury in the former trial. The pre-
liminary examination will probably last
several days. w. 7. Williams is con-
Quoting the case for Miss Marshall,
while the defendant is represented
by Messrs. Stephens 4 Campbell.
THE VANDERBILT CASE DISMISSED.
Judge Austin yesterday dismissed the
charge of perjury against Nelson Van
derlip, the Orange county banker. The
prosecution failed to make out case,
and the statement made by the defend
ant that he thought all the statements
in the affidavit were true when he swore
to them, was generally believed.
DAMRON HELD AGAIN.
The examination of James M. Damron
on charge of forgery, took place yester-
day before Judge Austin. The COM
planning witness in this particular case
was ]. S. Chadwick, former bosom
friend of Damron. 1t was alleged that
Damron forged the names of Walter
Lindley and A. III. Dunlap to note
which was cashed by Mrs. Emma Hum
ter. j. S. Chadwick, A. H. Dunlap, DIR.
Lindley and Mrs. Hunter testified
briefly. The defense did not introduce
any testimony, and Judge Austin held
Damron to answer before the superior
court in the sum of $500.
