Testimony Of Several Witnesses Who Saw the
Shooting.
SAN JOSE, Sept. 15.-The inquest in the
Holman murder case was held this evening
by Coroner Secord. At Mondays hearing
of the testimony into the killing on Sunday
evening of James Holman by Frank Adams,
a fifteen year-od boy, desire to suppress
the real facts Of the shooting was shown by
all the witnesses, and Juan Edson, Adams
attorney. thought his defense of accidental
killing would hold good. To-day, however,
three witnesses were produced who saw the
fatal encounter Joseph Roberts and
George VoSs, two tifteen-year-old boys, testi-
fed that they saw the fight commence, both
stating that Adams fred two shots
at Mig Berna, and was chasing
him through the vacant lot when
Holman ran toward Adams and yelled
For Gods sake, Frank, don't" They
say that Adams ordered him TO stand back,
wheeled around and leveled his pistol on
Holman and fired at him when the pair we're
about ten feet apart They then saw Hol-
man fall. Pete Lucero, a cousin OF young
Adams, saw the shooting, but would not ad-
nit that he saw the shot fired at Holman,
saying that something called his attention
from the scene All these witnesses testl-
fed that Tony Flores saw the whole affair
and caught Holman as he was falling.
Flores testified that he was not there and
will be prosecuted for perjury. The inquest
will be resumed tomorrow morning. Young
Adams is still IN jail and refuses to talk.
He was not present at the inquest. The de-
fense to be adopted, if Adams is held, is that
of insanity, now that that of accidental kill
ing has been disposed of.

TACOMA'S SENSATION.
Further Testimony Concerning The Bank
Robbery.

TACOMA (Wash.), Sept. 15.-Interest In
the Albertson case continues unabated. A
large number of Seattle people were present
at the hearing to-day, and the courtroom
was again crowded to suffOcatiOn. A Pc
caliar feature of the case is the rival feeling
of bitter hatred which exists between
Tacoma and Seattle, but which has
been lying dormant for some time
past. Seattle people look upon the
arrest of r. B. Albertson as an outrage,
while Tacoma citizens vigorously contend
that if he is not an accessory before the fact
he at least knows more about the case than
is consistent with honesty and uprightness.
J. P. Kockersperger, for the prosecution,
testified that as the special agent employed
to adjust claims and losses arising
in the business of the Fidelity and
Casualty Company, he had been dispatched
to Tacoma, armed with copy of the letter
written to his company by E. Albertsou.
The letter was dated Tacoma. Wash. Au-
gust %. In the letter Albert son says:
There is dispute for $4,000, which this
company has had. They Will try to recover
$4,000 Of it under the bond which you is
sued to them guaranteeing my fidelity, etc.
To give you money and at the same time
lessen chances Of my being prosecuted,
herewith return to you the bond and re-
newal, neither Of which has ever been out
of my pos, ession. Their records do not
show that they paid them, SO all you will
have to do is to refuse payment, else defy
existence, or else declare the same has
been cancee1 several months ago. You
know your business. If you want to
get out of this. you know what to do. /
| have written to Palmer aud Son that the
papers are received and will have attention.
l wish you would write to r. B. AlbeTtson,
attOrney-at-law. Seattle, Washington (per-
sonaD, and advise him of your action on

in the matter. Whateveryou write him will
be strictly confidential"
On arriving here and learning OF the nature
of the agreement which President Wal
lace had been forced to sign, he
at once judged that they had been
drawn up by lawyer, and by the law
| yer to whom Albertson referred in his tele-
| gram. He, therefore, wrote long letter to
| R. B. Albertson, in which lie reviewed the
case and asked him to come to Tacoma and
meet him. Albertson came to Rockersperg-
er's room in the Tacoma Hotel.
KOckersperger continued: Il detailed to
him the whole circumstances Of the crime,
and asked him to put $4,000 of the money
taken in my hands. l told him of the
reasons for my belief that he had criminal
knowledge of the robbery, aud asked him to
| tell me the whereabouts of his cousin. He
utterly refused, said he had nothing what
ever to do with the case, and had not seen
| his cousin for year"

new law of ours.this is an all-import-
ant test. Unless loan company can
pass this ordeal, the money it places
in Texas had as well, so far as such
company is concerned, been thrown
into the Red Sea. The danger of such
law lies not only in the hardship it

abuse, to the end of fraud. What so
easy as for man who has borrowed
$50, 600 or 100000 to see that some one
share of stock in the company from
which he has borrowed finds its way
into the possession of foreigner? No
such thing as this, of course, was con
tenplated when this law was enacted,
but it surely gives license to such
base fraud, and human nature does
not always stand aloof from such
temptation. 1t is for this reason
American loan companies are refusing

DLTY or CITIZENSHIP.

A part of Judge Walter @. Ores
hams speech, delivered at the I'M
yelling of the Grant monument in
Chicago, Wednesday, was not printed
in yesterdays STATESMAN. But so
pertinent is it that it is here repro
duced as Astounding in the soundest
advice to the sovereign citizens of our
free republic:
1t is not improper at this time to
call attention TO banetul influences
and practices which lower our ma
tional standard and, unchecked,
threaten disaster. Engrossed in the
cares of business and laborOus Occu-
pations, men seem inattentive to the
requirements of citizenship, but they
do not consciously and willfully shirk
its duties and responsibilities when
they are clearly seen and fully under
stood. They may be slow to act, but
when danger becomes imminent they
will assert themselves again as they
have in the past. They will not allow
the republic to perish from neglect.
The sentiment of patriotism is still
strong in the people. 1t is neither
dead nor short lived. 1t grows and
strengthens with honest appeals to it,
and it may beappealed to with conf
dence for the vindication of good
measures. 1t increases with every
draft that is made upon it, and while
it may become silent through neglect,
it does not cease to exist. Its voice
may be unheeded for season. and
may be drowned by the noisier
tongues of greed and selfishness. but
it will be heard again. 1t patiently
submits to many affronts, and quietly
submits to many indignities. But in
it's temporary silenceit gathers an ac-
emulation of energy, and when the
limit of its endurance has been reached
its commanding voice breaks forth on
the startled air, trumpet-tOngued and
against its mighty tones no other
voice dares lift itself.
Our country was settle by men who
sought land which they nigh love
as their own, and pledged their lives
and fortunes for the maintenance of
its institutions. Our republic was
founded in the patriotism of the peo-
pie, and their love of country was
strengthened by the struggle for its
defense against foreign aggression
The revolutionary war was test of
popular patriotism which had been
previously implanted, rather than a
development Of it. The patriotism
which was ablaze in the speeches of
Adams and Otis. and in the intrepid
conduct of Warran, was steady and
fervent heat in the bosoms of thou
sands whose names are I'M
known to history. AS people
we have inherited the patri-
otism of our revolutionary sires
and the Inheritance has not been
squandered or dissipated. Because
1t is voiceless among the busy multi
tude, in the marts, on the farms and
in the workshops, we must not think
it has ceased to exist, for these are
the sources from which our pa
