Judge Conlan. 1.-THE chain Of evidence
connecting the defendant with the crime
is one of the most complete that have
met with. 1t has been followed up to the
very act of the crime. and the defendant
has been traced up to within few seconds
Of the explosion. That a motive las not
been proved is nothing. None is neces-
sary. 1t is ordered and adjudged that the
defendant be held to appear before the
Superior Court to answer to the charge of
murder"

Full of Love and Longing for

THEORY OF THE DEFENSE.
Charles Hagans Charged With Hav-
ing spent All of Her noney
and Then Abandoned Her.

The rem arkable fortitude and COM
posure which Nellie Horton had exhibited
through all the long tedious hours of her
trial for the killing of Charles r. Hagans
gave way at last yesterday.
Day by day she had been confronted
with portrait of the dead man placed in
O conspicuous position on the witness
stand. in addition to which she has been
compelled to listen to all the testimony of
the witnesses for the prosecution, each of
whom has told the harrow wing story over
and over again. But yesterday. when the
counsel for the defense introduced certain
letters in which the whole relationship be-
tween the defendant and the dead man
was fully disclosed. the defendant lost all

FOR SIDNEY BELLS RELEASE
The Supreme Court May Pronounce
the Indictment Outlawed.

A brief has been filed in the Supreme
Court on behalf of Sidney Bell, who is
now in Folsom Prison serving a sentence
of sixty years for highway robberies CON-
mitted during his career
If this brief holds good. as Bells attor-
neys say it will, Bell will have to be re-
leased. The brief is based on the case of
the People VS.. Moreno. where the Supreme
Court decided as follows:
A party charged with a crime has the consti-
tutional right to a speedy trial, and the court
has no discretionary power to deny him right
30 important, or to proong his Imprisonment
without such trial beyond the time provided by
law. The statute is imperative. The court,
unless good cause 10 the contrary Is shown,
must order the prosecution dismissed.
at the time that the robbery charges
were made Bells lawyers made no de-
fense. and Bell was sentenced. 1t was
then thought that the murder charge
would stick. But most of the witnesses
for the prosecution have either died or
disappeared, and it is now certain that the
District Attorney will not press the murder
charge,

writer rdiculed the idea, and reiterated
her supreme confidence in her lover. AL
together the letters were very far from
such as would be written by woman of
the vile character attributed to the de-
fendant.
Mrs. Cummings: recalled. spoke Of
meeting Mr.. and Mrs. Hagans returning
from the City Prison shortly after the
shooting. The witness said, "Oh. Mrs.
Hagans, what has happened?" Mrs.
Hagans replied, "My son is at the Morgue
and your sister is in the prison. Go to
your sister," The witness at no time
called upon Mrs Hagans, but Mrs. Hagans
once called upon her.
In oSs-eyamination the witness stated
that she had resided on Golden Gate
avenue eight months. Her sister had
never lived with her. She had never seen
Charles HagaDs.
Eugene n. Deuprey then read one of
Nellie Norton's letters to Hagans, which
had not previously been read. In one of
these the defendant referred to the ''other
grl' to whom Charley was writing and in
another she spoke of his being met On the
street with pitchfOrk. But through these
as through the other letters ran the same
current Of love and sympathy.
Attorney Heynemann then attempted 4 to
introduce in evidence the letter from
the defendant to young Hagans written
four DAYS before the shoe ting, and which
never reached him.
The letter was objected to on
the ground that it had never reached
Hagans, and was therefore in nadmissble.
Judge Wallace took this view and ruled
the letter out.
Miss Theresa Jacquelin was then called.
She described herself as telegraph oper-
ator in Berkeley, and related the circum-
stances under which the defendant paid
her visit in the early part of the present
year.
The witness stated that the defendant
showed signs of great excitement and
grief, and at the end of the conversation
she had fainting fit, from which she did
not recover for some time.
The trial will be resumed to-day.
