SMITH ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
Accused of Killing Geo. Neale
on the High Seas.
The Important Evidence Adduced at
the Trial Yesterday.
William O. Lyons, Who Was ON the
Cruise When the Murder Was
Committed, Gives His
Testimony.

Samuel G. Smiths chances of escap
ing the gallows were greatly lessened
yesterday in the United States cir
cult court. Smith is the sea captain
who was charged with and afterwsrd ad-
mitted the murder OF George Neale while
on cruise off the Coronado islands a
year ago. Neale was Is years of age.
Smith engaged young Neale and VIM.
G. Lyons to make the cruise. The start
was made in the sloop Lou, a fishing
craft, on November 10, 1892, from San
Diego. The sloop returned to
port the following month without
the lad Neale, who was supposed to
have been murdered by Captain Smith.
Blood stains on the deck and hatchet
bearing blood were noticed and caused
Smiths arrest. He has been in the
county jail since that time. The MUIR
der created considerable interest at the
time.
The murder was admitted by Smith,
and the defense will attempt to prove
that ne was temporarily insane at the
time of the killing.
The story of the homicide was told in
court yesterday by Mr.. Lyons, who ac-
companied Captain Smith and young
Neale on the cruise. Several witnesses
were examined, but of the evidence
adduced Lyons was the most impor-
| tant.
Lyons said that he went with Smith
on November 10, 1892, and was to be
gone 23 days. He was to get $15 for the
trip. Everything went well and pleas
antly until small boat was lost, which
would have necessitated return to San
Diego, as the object of the trip could
not be attained without boat. They
were to get guano.
Smith suspected him of cutting the
boat loose. One night Lyons heard
Smith shooting. He ran upon the deck
and heard Neale speaking from the
water. He could not say but that a
fishing boat, of which there were sew
eral near by. picked young Neale
up. Neale was good swim
mer. They were about two miles
from the Coronado islands when the
murder was committed. Lyons had
never said that the boys were plotting
to kill the old man.
J.. Marion Brooks, counsel for the de-
tense, cross-ex amined the witness as to
whether he was certain that Neale was
killed or was yet alive. He coald not
say. There were several boats in the
vicinity.
The case consumed the entire day and
will probably not be concluded before
tomorrow.
There are nearly 40 witnesses to be
examined.
The Jurors in the case are as follows:
Charles A. Steele, Edward P. Tomp-
kins, Robert E. Wirsching, George A.
Strickland. Andrew G. Wallace, A. f.
Whitney, Phillip @. stoll, H. B. Truitt,
H. L. Tufts, w. R. Miller, B. G. Hun

FOUGHT FOR FATHER,
AND WAS ARRESTED FOR AN
ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
Alexander Caresa Found Guilty of a
Simple Assauit-His Father
Testifies for Him and
Strips in Court.

Judge Smiths courtroom yesterday
WAS thronged with swarthy Italians,
and the air was redolent with nautical
phrases and idioms.
Alexander Caresa, an Italian sailor,
was on trial for an attempt to murder
one James Turner, also q sailor, by
striking him with an iron bar, ON the
18th day of November last, at San
Pedro.
John Raquina, an Italian, stated that
he was returning home to San Pedro in
his boat when Alexander Caresa passed
him in his boat. Salvador Caresa, Al
exander's father, was in the skiff with
his son. The Caresas' boat being the
faster sailer passed the witness boat and
anchored.
Raquina then graphically described
the assault.
Turner" he said, 'steered his boat
alongide Caresa's boat, and heard him
cay. You ---. you stole my skiff. ,
Caresa the elder answered him, when
you call me you lie.'
both men then caught up their oars
and struck at one another, but Caresa
the elder caught Turner's blow on the
quarter oar and, knocking it aside, shat
tered it on the gunwale. Then the
younger Caresa raised his oar and struck
Turner"
Witness said he thought the blow only
grazed Turner's shoulder, as it would
have been bad day for Turner had the
oar struck him. He did not know
whether or not Turner had kept his bed
for week after the alleged assault.
Salvatore Caresa, father of the de-
fendant, said that the day before the
assault he found Turner's boat floating
near the wharf. He tied it up and a
little later Turner came to him and
thanked him. Next day Turner came
again and accused him of stealing the
skiff.
At the memory Of the insult the wit
ness grew excited. ~ no know what
the hella the matter with the mama:
the air was full badda mama, he call me
- - -; | call him a liar; he
take up his oar and try to
hit me; he hit me In the stomach" and
before the court could interpose the
witness disrobed himself and showed
the jury the mark caused by the blow.
When the laughter, caused by the incl
dent, subsided, Salvador, continuing,
stated that after being struck by Tur-
ner he, the witness, knocked the oar out
of Turner's hand and broke 1t against
the aide of the boat.
Alexander Caress, the defendant, a
good looking young Italian said that he
saw Turner strike his father with an
oar. He tried to defend his father and
bore no malice against Turner either
then or now.
At the conclusion of the evidence the
case was given to the jury, who returned
a verdict OF simple assault against the
younger defendant, and dismissed the
one pending against his father.
