MRS. ETARBIRD'S DEPOSITION.
Made Last Night to the Coroner and
District Attorney.
No New Light on the shootine-Her
Husband and Perkins Together
on Sunday Night.

Last evening Coroner Clark and Dis
trlct Attorney Ryan visited Mrs. John p.
Starbird (whose husband was shot by W.
U. Hail last week, at her home, 5l1 Sew
enth street, accompanied by Stenogra-
pher w. Z. Doane, to take her deposition,
to be used at the inquest on her husband,
as she desires to leave the city at once.
Mrs. Starbird intends going to her hus-
bands parents at San Diego, where they
will endeavor to care for herself and her
five children, the eldest of whom is but
years of age.
She testified that her husband was born
In Skowhegan, Me-, and was q years old.
he had formerly been in the railroad en-
ploy, but latterly had no regular employ
ment. On the night OF the shooting her
husband went out soon after supper and
returned about o'clock with man
whom he introduced to her as Hall. They
sat down in the kitchen, and her husband
suggested that they have some beer. Hall
asked to be allowed TO go for 1t, and did
so.
She could not recall any conversation
between her husband and herself during
Halls absence. When the latter returned
three glasses of beer were poured out.
She did not drink, but her husband and
Hall did. She could not remember any
thing that was said by either of them.
After they had each taken one glass o1
beer her husband went to another room,
saying he would be right back. She
heard one of the children crying, and
went into the bedroom to attend to it, and
while going there met her husband re-
turning from the front room.
He did not say anything to her. When
she reached the children's room she heard
pistol shot, but no words. If her hus-
band had said anything she would have
heard it.
as soon as the shots were fired she be-
came frightened ana ran out che front
way to a neighbours house across the
street. When she returned both men
were gone. A policeman Officer
CarrolD returned to the house with her.
Her husband always kept his pistol in
the front room in a drawer. She had
never seen Hall before the night of the
shooting.
Being asked concerning Perkins, she
said that he was at her house on the Sun
day evening before the shooting, about
o'clock. Her husband and Perkins went
out together, and returned about
o'clock. Perkins did not stay long after
their return. She did not hear any con-
versation between her husband and Per-
kins that night.
Mrs. Starbird said she had never seen
Perkins before the Sunday night referred
to, but he was at their house one after
noon afterward and before her husband
was shot.
When her husband and Perkins went
out on Sunday night they said they were
going up town. She did not know who
fired the first shot on the night the shoot
ing occurred in her house.
Her husband had several hats, and she
could not say what sort of one he wore
on Sunday night when he and Perkins
went out together. Her husband was
frequently out late at night. She did not
know how long he had known Perkins.
The examination was quite extended.
but the above were the main points
brought out in Mrs. Starbird's testimony.

SUFFER- CLUB MUSICALE.
Members Entertain Their Lady Friends
Right Royalty.
A Splendid Instrumental and Vocal
Programme Rendered-Fine
Decorations.

| No pleaSanter party has been given
this season than the musicale given last
night by the members cf the Sutter Club
to their lady friends.
| The ladies embraced the opportunity
and thronged the rooms, enjoying them
selves hugely. The rooms were beauti-
| fully and tastefully decorated with ferns,
smilax and potted plants by the Bell
! Conservatory Company, and elected
many complimentary remarks.
c. A. Neale was Musical Director and his
orchestra furnished the fine programme
of instrumental music. J. II. Desmond,
the well-known tenor, now of San Fran
cisco, but formerly of this city, sang a
fine solo most acceptably and received a
generous round of applause.
Miss Carolee Wilsey, miss of fourteen
summers, executed difficult piano solo
with most exquisite feeling, precision
and TASTE but modestly declined to an
swer an encore. She showed clearly by
her performance that she is likely at no
| distant day TO make herself a name in
the musical world.
Mrs. Frances Moeller, a former resi-
dent of this city. who was then known as
Mrs. Snow. rendered a contralto solo
! from 'Mignon' so beautifully that she
was forced TO respond to an encore and
gave "Calm as the Night,' by Bohm.
! She showed herself possessed of a con-
traltO voice of rare depth and sweetness,
with perfect command over it and evil
deuce OF the thorough training given it
during her sojourn in the East. She also
possesses the ability and skill, unfortu-
nately too rare among otherwise good
singers, of enunciating 50 clearly and dis
tinctly each syllable without marring
the beauty of her tones that her most
distant auditors were at no loss TO follow
the words.
After the programme was finished, re-
freshments were served and conversation
took The place of music. Following is the
programme rendered during the evening:

The Latest SwindIe.

The latest swindle to be worked on the
farmers is just now going the rounds. A
smooth stranger representing himself to
bea governments officer calls on the farmer
and claims TO be hunting for counter
felt money, and demands that the farmer
submit his coins for inspection and test to
ascertain if has any spurious coins in his
possession.
The stranger usually selects one or two
pieces which he says look suspicious" !"
and subjects them to test which turns
them black, and then he alleges they
are spurious. OF course the farmer has
no right to carry counterfeit money and
the stranger, in his capacity of govern
ment officer, walks off with the coins
The swindle is being worked quite
extensively.
