A Man Who Claims to Have Witnessed
the Fatal shot to he Present.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-The case
OF M. b. Curtis, the actor, better known
throughout the country as ''Sam1 of
Posen," who is charged with the muir
der of Alexander Grant, a policeman,
on the night of Sept. II of last year,
is again on the docket for trial
in the Criminal court. The life of the
actor has already once been placed in
jeopardy and the jury on the previous
trial came within an ace of convicting
him OF murder in the first degree, the
vote standing eleven to one. At that
time there was weak point in the
evidence of the nprosecution owing
to the fact that none of the witnesses
would positively swear that it was
Curtis who fired the fatal shot. It is
now claimed, however, that ]. w.
Cam, who lives in the interior of the
State, saw the scuffie between Curtis
and the officer from the opposite side of
the street, and that he saw the accused
shoot the policeman twice in success
sion, but that he did not inform the
police owing to the fact that he had
purchased his ticket for the next morn
ing's boat and did not desire to be de-
tanned in the city.
