LAWYERS GROW PERSONAL.
Some Home Questions in the
Wells Trial.
ollie's Lady Cross-Exsminer and the District
Attorney Exchange Telling Re-
marks il the Case.

Yesterday the trial Of James E. Wells for
forgery was resumed before Judge Trout
and a crowded courtroom. During the day
Wells wife and children appeared, and, as
they Gro wded up behind the defendant the
little ones peered inquiringly up at their
mother, wondering why people stared so at
their father.
Ollie Hutchings was still under cross
examination by Mrs. Foltz, Wells attorney.
Your name," said the lady counsel, sis
now Gilbert, is it not?"
1T is" replied the witness.
where did you meet Mr.. Gilbert? Was
it not in tie House of Correction ?"
The witness hesitated and said in q low
tone that her husband had nothing to do
with the case and she did not wish to drag
him into il.
Mrs. Foliz said she wanted TO show that
Gilbert had been in a conspiracy with
Haley, DGffey and Pitcher and had skipped
out with the money. His marrying Ollie
was eorroborative proof of the theory. Now
Pitcher and all the others, except Wells,
are dead and there was an attempt being
made to saddle the fraud upon Wells as the
only available seapegoat.
Mrs FoltZ was quite hot about the neces-
sity of pursuing this line OF questioning.
Finally witness admitted meeting Gilbert
few days after meeting Pitcher.
''ha, Ia, eAcIdlnleu MRS. rOItL, tItuhpu-
antly. $50, after letting him into the Sc
cret, YOU intended to marry him, didn't
Assistant District Attorney Hinkle pu,

was it not, for ladies to wait until they
were asked,
e The witness assented laughingly.
marriage is hardly a laughing matter,
remarked Mr. Hinkle.
You ought to know that, Mr. HlnkIe, F"
said the defendants counsel meaningly,
''for you tried it only recently"
Mr.. Hinkle was only confused for a mo-
ment before retorting, "And you, too, Mrs.
Foltz, for you have bad your own expert
ence in that line"
Mrs. Foltz crimsoned as she quickly d.
verted the crOss-eXamina,ion into an in
quiry regarding why the witness had not
| gone to the police.
She had been induced not to do so by her
| consideration for the families of Pitcher
| and Wells.
| as porter for Crane he had drawn $4,000 ont
! of bank for his employer and brought il
| 10 the latteps Office where both Wells and
| Ollie HutchiDgs were the same day.
In the afternoon Ollie Hutchings was
again on the stand, and was compelled by
Mrs. Foltz TO admit that at the time of the
| alleged forgery she was not engaged in any
| business. but pursued an Irregular and wild
course of life.
Captain Lees Of the police force testified
as to in ervIews between the parties con-
cerned in the forgery affair and the police
Mrs. c. NJ. Simpson, who lived with
Wells, was also examined, Mrs. Foltz trying
TO show by her that Wells had plenty of
money at that time and was 10 no need OF
obtaining money by false pretenses.
The court afterward adjourned until this

VALLEJO. Oct. n.-Tqere was very
slim crowd in attendance at the stock
rarsde Of the fair this morning. Hardly a
score Of people were in the grand stand,
and these were principally exhibitors. Ii
tina association desires to attract visitors to
the grounds it win have, another year, to
devise some plan Of bringing the latter
within easier access of the town. When
every trip to the track means an expense OF
half dollar besides the price Of entrance
not everybody will feel inclined 10 attend.
This lovely town has no streetcar line,
though an electric line is being talked oil,
but the association certainly ought TO con-
rive some transportation arrangement that
would be cheaper and more satisfactory
than the present system OF taking hack
for each trip in and out between the town
and the fair grounds This is the first fair
that the society has held. but notwithstabo-
ing that fact the stalls in the stocKyaro are

There is a really fine exhibit of
