MAC YOUNG'S MURDER TRIAL,
The Evidence Against Him
Given by Lulu DOrman.
Her Account of the Hideous Crime
He Is Charged With.
She Is a Horrible Example of the Ef-
fects of tho Cocaine Habit-The
Effort to Shake Her Tes-
timony Unavaillng.

The jury in the "Bllly" Young MUIR
der trial was completed yesterday morn
ing in Judge Smiths court out of spe-
cial venire, T. H. White making the
twelfth man sworn.
The trial was not enlivened by any
unusual incidents during the day. The
line OF testimony was very much the
same as upon the previous trial, the
prosecution 80 far putting on tho wit
nesses in the same order in which they
were previously examined.
The only ripple of interest that was
occasioned was when Lulu Dorman was
called. She is the woman who occupied
an adjoining "crib" on Alameda street
to Irene O'Brien, the night the defen-
dant is accused of having thrown O
lighted lamp at his mistress, which set
her clothing on fire and caused her
death.
Lulu Dorman claims to have heard
Young and Irene quarreling; to have
heard the crash OF something thrown !;
to have heard Young exclaim: "Ee
down, you -, until put you out !"
to have seen Young run out the back
way and to have heard him say: "If
you have me arrested l will kill you
too"
The unfortunate witness is one OF the
most pitiful objects that can we'll be
imagined. She belongs to that class of
persons known ae cocaine tiends. AL
though still young woman, she is a
total wreck, and looks it. Emacated
to fearful degree the hand of death is
unmistakably upon her. Since the
former trial she has been in the county
jail, where she has been deprived to a
great extent of the drug which has
caused her distressful condition. When
she took the stand yesterday she was
very shaky, but appeared clear in her
mind, and created the impression as she
did before that she is telling the truth
about the events in the ''cribs" the
night of the tragedy. She furnishes
the principal links of the prosecution in
the chain of evidence against the de-
fendant, and the defense seeing the im-
portance of her testimony made every
effort TO break it down. just as before
she stood the ordeal of cross-examina-
tion very we'll.
The elaborate alibi attempted to be
shown by the defense, in which the de-
fendant denies having been at the room
of Irene O'Brien at the time of the
tragedy, directly conflicts with the story
told by Lulu Dorman, and it is ques-
tion which the jury will believe.
The weaknesses OF the shattered
woman are brought out in all their
Mdeousness, and she acts and expresses
herself as if she does not care how soon
she dies, and cannot be bullied by at
torneys in any case.
The jury will not be allowed to sep
arate during the trial. Cots have been
provided for them and placed in the
gallery of the court room. They were
all made up yesterday, and made the
room present something Of the appear
ance of hotel. until one expected to
see somewhere a sign reading '.Beds, 80
cents" ~ s7'hea
The trial will be resumed this mora
ing, and it will probably take a day or
two yet for the prosecution to put in, all
its evidence. "A '.s sNssas .iasih ~
