The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-12-30
BUT SHE GOT BADLY RATIFIED.

WOODLAND. Dec. 29.-The people here
who have been watching the proceed
ings in the trials of the strikers are be-
coming amazed at the contradictory char
acter of the testimony. and there is very
strong desire upon the part OF the taxpay-
ers that the crime OF perjury snail be
fastened upon whoever Is guilty. and that
they shall be punished TO the extent of the
law.
The defense ATTACKED the character Of
Robert Radcliff. an important witness for
the prosecution, and three witnesses from
Shasta County testified that bis reputation
for truth, honesty and integrity waro bad.
These witnesses were A. w. Hubbard,
George Henderson and j. A. Massie.
w. 7. Soule and j. n. Kisner of Brod-
erick also attacked the reputation of
Witness Chopper.
Mrs. j. Stokes of Sacramento furnished
the sensation of the day. She was a very
willing winners. and got along nicely dur
ing the direct examination; but under a
hot cross fire from Mr. Clark she became
confused, and finally broke down and be-
gan to cry. She complained OF being sub
ject 10 hysteria. She was temporarily ex-
cused. and when afterward recalled asked
to have part of her testimony stricken out,
as she had given it under great excitement
and made some errors. The court de-
clined to strike out any testimony. but
told the witness she would be allowed TO
make any correction she deemed neces-
sary. She testified that on the 18th of
July last she went to the A. r. u. restau-
rant and was engaged all the afternoon.
Witne ss left her house at quarter after
1. and arrived at the restaurant about half
past 1. Some lady acted for her in arrang-
ing a lot of pies for the table, and a man
volunteered to help. The same man was
minutes helping her wash dishes. She
did not know the mans name at the time,
but heard him called Tex" and she posi-
lively identified him as the defendant.
Witness said Appelman wore dark blue
hat when he was at the restaurant, and
that his face was smooth. aud she noticed
the scar on his face.
Mrs. Jennie Pincomb was called to the
stand. She resides in Sacramento and her
husband is a carpenter. She testified that
she spent the 18th of July at the house of
Mrs. Matheny. About II 80 o'clock she
saw the defendant there eating his dinner.
Mrs. Alice Bailey testified that she has

this year, and on the 18th of July she was
engaged in the A. r. U. kitchen between
II and o'clock. She saw the defendant
there. She asked for help and be volun-
teered his services. Witness fixed the day
from the fact that it was the only one on
which they had pie. She saw the train
go out. and she saw Appelman after the
train went out. He had smooth face,
wore blue-black hat. but no coat.
On cross-examination the witness denied
that she volunteered her testimony. When
she first went to Sacramento she asked
Ben True to get her place. She formerly
kept roadside inn in Colorado. and while
there was paid by detectives who were
hunting cattle thieves. She was paid t0
watch brands, but had done no detective
work in Sacramento. She had never seen
defendant before she met him in the res
taurant. but could not be mistaken in his
iden LITIGATION. She heard him called '"Tex-
as" in the restaurant.
The court ordered an adjournment until
Wednesday. January 2, 1895, at 80 A. N.
The defense announced that two moro
days would be required to get in all the
testimony.
