THE SPIRIT HE SAW NOT.

winters uight, with the snow about;
Twas silent within and cold without;
Both father and mother to bed were gone;
The son sat yet by the fire alone.
He gazed on the fire and dreamed again
OF one that was now no more among men,
As still he sat and never aware
How close was the spirit beside his chair.
Nay, sad were his thoughts, for he wept and
said,
"Ah, woe for the deadl ah woe for the deadl
How heavy the earth now lies on her breast,
The lips that kissed and the hand pressed!"
The spirit lie saw not lie could not hear
The comforting words she spoke in his ear.
His heart in the grave with her nioldering
clay
No welcome gave, and she fed away.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 12.-The trial OF
DR.. Eugene West was resumed before
Judge Wallace this morning.
John Gilmour, father of the deceased,
testified that DR.. West, after telling him
of the disposition of the body, said: Nov
that l have freed my mind, 1 feel like a
new man."
May Howard of Oakland, who failed to
materialize when wanted last week, put
in an appearance and was called to
testify. She told about DR.. West origi-
mating the story to the effect that Addie
Gilmour had committed suicide by jump
ing from an Oakland ferry boat.
Mr.. Gilmour and his daughter, Emma,
were then called to identify the picture OF
Addie Gilmour.
Assistant District Attorney Black then
announced that all the testimony for the
prosecution was in, with the exception OF
that OF Mrs. Austin. AS she was not in
attendance, her testimony went over
until o'clock.
Attorney Jacobs, for the defendant, then
made his opening statement. He stated
that the defense would be that DIR. West
had not performed the criminal operation
on Addle GllmOur, intlmating that some
one else had acted in that capacity before
she visited DR.. Vests office on Turk
street.
The first witness for the defense was r.
Garrity, Marshal of SausalitO. He told
of a fisherman finding part of the remains
at Sausalito.
Mrs. DR.. West said that she visited the
Doctors office every day previous to her
marriage. She met young woman
named Miss Alice Gould, who came to the
doctors office on the evening of August
3lst. She expected TO meet the young
lady mentioned on that evening. She had
conversation with Miss Gould, who
said: 81 am the young lady whom DR..
Harvey sent here"
DR.. r. ID. johnson was the last witness
called.
Mr.. Wilson wanted the room cleared,
as the doctor wanted to impart pro-
fessional secret, and did not care to let
the public know that he was concerned
in case of this kind.
Mr.. Barnes objected.
In reply attorney tarral said the de-
tense expected to prove by the witness
that Miss Gllmour went to DR.. Johnson
ten days before going to DR.. West; that
he found that she was suffering from an
operation, and that he had refused to
treat her.
Judge Wallace interrupted, and said he
could not allow the witness to testify, on
the ground that he would have to dis
close professional secret
The defense objected, and noted the ex-
ception.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.-The was a
meeting to-day of the committee ap-

of the affairs of Charles L. Gibbs. This
committee acts with B. B. Stone, who is
trustee, and consists of w. S. Gage, n.

were no other creditors present. Mr..
Stone had prepared a statement of the as
sets and liabilities, and these were in
formally submitted, but not made pub

members of the committee, know what
they imply. No definite course was de-
cided upon for several reasons. Mr.. Stone
is not yet assignee in the full sense of the
term, and wishes to do nothing beyond
the pale of his authority.
There are also some developments ex-
pected that may so entirely change the

bination of the Alaskan fisheries. 1t
seems probable that such combination
will be formed, and in this case the pros
poets alike of Mr.. Gibbs and his creditors
would at once brighten. The fisheries in
which he is interested would be able to
can their product so cheaply that at the
prevailing market rates they would be
able TO do business at a profit, something
that working singly they cannot now do.
The committee will wait TO hear from
this, SO as not 10 make an initial report
