fendant's mother and sister were in court
and sat near him. The widow of the muir
dered man and her mother were also pres
emf. but did not remain long.
Assistant District Attorney Mark Walser
made the opening argument. stating what
he would prove. There was DO evidence
in his statement that the prosecution
would bring out any new facts, though it
is said that important evidence which was
not introduced at the former trial would
be introduced at this one.
E. A. Farley. the surveyor who made
the maps showing the location Of Nc
Winters premises. was the first witness.
He explained the maps. after which a re.
cess was taken and the jury conducted to
the McWhirter residence to view the scene
of the tragedy.
DR.. A. j. Pedlar was the first witness
after the return of the jury. He was
called in to attend McWhirter, and also
conducted the autopsy. He described the
wound, saying there were no powder

mony the court took recess.
Mrs. McWbirter was the first witness at
the afternoon session. Her testimony was
exactly the same as at the first trial. She
heard noise on the morning of the TRACE
dy and called her husbands attention
thereto. He went out to investigate and
accidentally raug the bell in passing one
of the front doors. He stopped for N o.
ment to tell her 1t was accidental and then
went round the house to the back yard.
Then came the shooting. followed by
groans, and she ran to where her husband
lay on the ground. Mrs. McWhirter's ex-
animation was continued till papers giving
her testimony at the inquest arrived from
San Francisco.
Mrs. Emma Southwood, a neighbor of
the McWhirters, was the next witness.
She heard the shots and saw he fashe
of the pistols. Then Mrs. MrWhirter ran
out of the house screaming and crying for
assistance. The witness had heard a
shutting of feet as of men engaged in a
struggie.@ Mrs. SouthwoOd's daughter.

HIS PROFIT WAS TOO LARGE
And Pacific Grove Has Another
Shattered Idol.
THE RESULT OF A LAND DEAL.
A Real Estate Dealer Who "Would
Not Believe That Virgin Was
Guilty if He Confessed It,"

MONTEREY. March 9.-The Grand Jury
brought an indictment on Thursday even
ing against E. c. Smith Of Smiths Bank
at Pacific Grove, charging him with obtain
ing property under false pretenses. Judge
Dorm issued bench warrant and MI
Smith appeared before him this morning
at 10 o'clock, and was given until the 26th
inst to prepare his defense. The charge
is substantially as follows:
A Mrs. Mary E. HoOle of Pacific Grove
engaged Mr.. Smith, who also deals in real
estate, to purchase for her certain lots in
Pacific Grove belonging TO John E. Rich
ards of San Jose, rendering in payment
certain lots in Pacific Grove which she
owned. also some San Jose property and
$500 in cash.
At Smiths request the deeds to all her
lots were drawn up and signed by her.
leaving blank the space usually devoted to
the grantee. But only the lots in San
Jose, the money and portion of the Pa
cific Grove property we're turned over to
Mr.. Richards, the rest of the deeds being
made out in the name of Smiths mother.
Smith is held in $1,000 bail.
This charge against Mr.. Smith. who is q
very prominent citizen Of Pacific Grove
and one Of the leading real-estate men
there. and who also happens TO be the Oh ly
banker in the town and is clerk of the
Board of City Trustees as we'll, will carry
aslonishmeDt to many of his neighbors
and acquaintances. Smith is the man who,
on the arrest of Virgin, declared that he
would not believe the latter guilty even if
he did confess to it.

SACRAMENTO, March 9.-W. S. Lloyd
has al last obtained his wish, and death.
which he so earnestly sought, came to him
last night.
1t will be remembered that Lloyd at
tempted to commit suicide last Tuesday
afternoon by jumping into the Sacramento
River from the Yolo bridge, but he was
dragged ashore by boatman and taken 10
the City Receiving Hosp ital for treatment.
He roundly abused the police authorities,
however, for not permitting him to die.
lie said that his money was all gone and
he was homeless and friendless, he could
not get any work. and rather than be
burden upon any one or upon any COM
munity he preferred to die.
He tried to end his existence with poison,
but this method failed. Then he decided
to cut his throat and asked Sergeant Nc
Manus. at the police station, to sharpen a
knife for him. McManus proceeded to &C
commcdate him. and then asked: "What
do you want your knife sharpened for ?"
Because / want to cut my throat" was
the frank answer. The officer then locked
him up and afterword sent him before the
Lunacy Commissioners. who discharged
him, and on the same day of his discharge
be jumped into the river.
The plunge into the cold stream gave the
old man a death chill Although he re-
ceived almost constant medical treatment
he could not be saved. Pneumonia was
undoubtedly the cause of his death. lie
sat up in his cot about o'clock last even
ing, talking to some of the prison TRUSTEES,
when he suddenly began gasping and fell
back dead.
Lloyd was 81 years of age and was tall,

we're as white as snow. HI told Sergeant
McManus that he had relatives living near
