She Gives Remarkable Testimony in
Court.

Court.
Adela Moore, the 12-year-old girl who
went to Mayor Ellert's office one week ago
and told him that she had been felonlously
assaulted by her foster father, w. Graham
OF % Ash avenue, told the story OF heI
alleged wrongs in Judge Lords court last
night.
She is a pretty child, with long dark
brown hair and full brown eyes. Her self
possession during Two hours OF exanlna-
ton astonished the court and the lawyers.
Ex-Judge Ferral. who appeared for the
accused, declared that in all his practice
he had never seen anything Ike II.
Adela testified that she was taken from
an orphanage in British Columbia by tie
Grahams two years ago. While they were
living in Sacramento ten months ago she
was sent to buy pie. and when she re-
turned Graham told her that she had per-
mtted q boy employed In the bakery TO
Which she WAS sent TO take liberties WIN
her. The boy was arrested ana IRA nam
compelled her to testify against him. The
boy was acquitted.
do you know what would nave been
done to that boy if he had been found
guilty? ?" asked Attorney Ferral.
Yes, sir; he would have been hanged,
was the ready reply.
And yet you. knowing that an innocent
boys life was at stake, swore TO a pack of
lies against him ?"
Yes, sir"
why did you do that?"
Il was afraid of Mr.. Graham. He said
that he would cut my throat if l did not
testify against the boy"
'All you said then was a lie?"
Yes, sir. but l am telling the truth
now"
The girl said that she would have run
away from the Grahams, but was unable
to do so. She said that she was with the
Granams in Stockton two months ago. aud
there Graham assaulted her twice during
his wife's absence. Then they came to
this city where Graham again assaulted
her.
Adela said that Graham taught her to
read and write. and made her pray and
read the Bible every night.
The attorney who appeared for the ac-
cused boy in Sacramento testified that
Adela was as self-pO sessed on that occa-
sion as she was while testfyng last night.
The trial will be resumed this morning
Graham and his wife sat side by side while
Adela was telling her story, and when he
was sent back 10 his cell he covered his
face with his hands and wept for several
moments. He declares that the little girl
is one Of the most accomplished liars in
existence.
