A FEW MORE REASONS.

Lees had a bad reputation. / understood that

me that, there were so many OF them; II seemed

Being pressed to give names Clemens said,
amid loud laughter, That Sconchln Maloney was
one OF his lufOrmanS. He declared himself I'M
able 10 give any other names just at present.
lie had consulted with gentleman for the de-
Tense and had testified for the defendant al the
former tlial. lie had been IN The employ OF the
defense, had furnished information and had re-
ceiVed compensation for his services
ANOTHER SENSATION.
Barclay Henley took the witness In hand on
new line, and obtained from him declaration
that when lie Investigated the shooting OF Jacob
son lie found that the police were carefully
avoiding The following up OF ceWS which led
away from Bell. He found that one witness
named Coffey, who lived In tie rear OF the ia
cObsOn house and was possessed OF Information
Of the utmost importance, mad been lusulted by
the Chief OF Police and Captain Lees; that they
would not receive his testimony. lie (Clemens)
was lea 10 infer that The city and county police
would no. follow any trail OF The kind.
Judge Murphy asked why MIR. Henley did not
put CO1ey on the stand. MIR. Henley replied by
asking If his Honor, as lawyer. would have
done so with q hostile witness.
Judge Murphy wouldn't before jury; but
on motion for new trial / would. We are
getting this statement second. hand-it Is mere
healsay. You are not before jury, Mr.. Henley,
ana nothing that COiiey may say viii weigh
against you. You can have any process you
want TO get Corey 10 testify.
Clemens proceeded 10 say that C0ffey and
many other Witnesses had never been called for
IN this case. He named one witness, Shaw, who
had most valuable testimony 10 give. Shaw WHO
IS guide IN Chinatown, had told him (Clemeus)
hat he was afraid OF his lie; that lie had 10 20
home sometimes In hack aud walk through
dark streets, the inference being that ne feared
foul play from he police. Clemens also referred
significantly 10 Tie fact That the car-cOnduct0r,
Archambedu, who was passing aJsthe lime Of the
killing OF JacO BISON, had never been produced by
the prosecutions had quit work the next day,
and never since been seen To San FrancscO
AND STILL THEY COME.
Clemens continued quite calmly 10 say that
the inquest on JacOOsOn's body WAS mere
farce and grossly misc0nducted that important
witnesses had been dismissed vi few words
and unimuOrfant Witnesses had been examined
at length; and that people had been brought
there who Had no conn. elton win the case at
ali; thar almost every question had been dictated
By Detective Bowen. COitey had said after The
COrOuePS inquest was over his mouth was
sealed book lie mentioned Captain Lees as the
person WHO insuited him. Ii given time he
could mention names Of numDrr OF important
Witnesses whose evidence bad not been Ia en-.
After an iaiimatIOn from the court mat no
lime could be given 10 he case TIL next Friday,
Clemens was excused I'LL thar day to consult
Tue authorities"
CAPTAIN LEES DENIAL.
The District Attorney wished to place Captain
Lees on the stand for few minutes 10 make
personal statement, aud after Barclay Henley
had withdrawn IN objection In spirit OF fair
play, Lees testified that lie had never requested
10 have Clemens removed from any position or
duty on The Chronicle, or from any worn In which
he was engaged, either directly or indirectly. He
lees has not now aud has not at any lime Of
his life had any financial relations directly OF in-
directly with NJ. h. de Young, mot one mill or
one cent" lie had not visited the Examiner Of
hcr Tor tie purpose OF correcting proofs OF an
article, but had gone 10 see /. I. Williams, the
city editor IN response 10 note left by Tie lat

Brown and Mrs Campbell, who might reqnire 10
be Swallowed. Failing 10 get the Information he
required from Williams or the reporters he de-
tailed detectives 10 hunt uD Mrs Campbell, and
by little strategy easily Wormed out of her the
Examiners story. That ended The transaction
and that vas all lie had to do with the Exam
liner people.
Captain Lees concluded by denying that he
had ever insulted the witness Cofiey. The case
was tLen postponed until Friday of next week.
II l. understood that Clemens has a batch Of
ailidaylts as big as an accordion TO be pro-
duced In rebutial OF an anticipated attack on his
character for Veracity and reliability.
