A WEAK DEFENSE.

None of the staements of witness
Against Hitchcock are Shaken.
The defense is introducing testimony
at the Hitchcock investigation today, the
prosecution having finished up yester-
day.
The first witness called this morning
was Miss Mollie Nolin. who acts as as
sistant matron half day, and teaches
the other half. She comes from the same
county as Hitchcock.
Lawyer Madden asked her: s'What do
you know of the superintendent as re-
CARDS ungovernable temper?"
He does not have an ungovernable tenn
per-"
''Have you ever noticed any outbursts
of temper"
mo, sir"
HAS be been attentive to the duties
incum bent upon him?"
''Yes. sir" with an emphatic nod of the
head.
''Has he treated you well?"
"Yes, SIR"
''Did you ever observe a boy in Mr..
Justis' family that was made to go out
doors without "a overshirt on?"
Noah Allen objected. He said Mr..
Justis' wasn't on on trial
Objection overruled-
HE went from Saturday afternoon till.
Sunday evening in that condition. His
name was Lockwood"
The witness was asked concerning
the superintendent 8 anger. 0u0 was not
around when Hitchcock would meet the
other employees.
She said: "The angriest I ever saw
him was the night Mr.. Jones talked to
him"
s'Did you ever hear the superintendent
quarrel with the matron?" (His wife,
Eyes sir.''
"What did he say about her going
homer"
"Well, if tell what they said 1 want
it understood that he was not mad when
he said it, said the witness with an un-
easy glance around at the superintendent
and his wife.
NWelI, what was it he said?''
Z" he matrOn was out of patience and
said she wanted to go back home, and
the superintendent told her she could go
if she wanted to. Then he looked up
and said will you go tonight p"
"Do you know of any other time they
quarrelled in the dining room?"
Il have heard them argue over differ
ent matters" replied the witness.
The next witness called was Miss
Emma Graham. She is one of the old
emnloyes She seemed to be friendly to
Hitchcock
When Noah Allen began to cross-ex-
anime her she became angry and would
answer the questions shortly. Her du-
ties in the institution were that of an
attendant. She took care of the halls
and the dining room. She was in the
habit of reporting to both the superin-
tendent and his wife. She had never
seen any boys working out in cold
weather without gloyes on.
Miss Graham said that Hitchcock had
treated ner very well.
DR.. L. A Ryder was next called. He
Is the physician for the institution.
When asked if he knew of any neg
lect on the part of the management in
calling him to see sick boys, he replied
that he did not.
When asked concerning certain boy
in the institution that had loathsome
disease, he said that he had recommend
ed that the board release him from the
institution, and that the board had done
so. He had the bed clothes burned up.
He didn't know much that was impor-
tant for either side

WHAT coxEY WOULD HAVE SAID
Wanted to Remind Congress of the Prom
ised Return of Prosperity.

Wanted to Remind Congress of the Prom
fsed Return of Property.
WAsHINGToN, May 2.-COxey has taken
some pains to give out for publication
copy of the speech he would have deliv-
cred but for the interference of the
police. In this speech he takes the
ground the capitol is the property of the
people, and fitting place to mourn over
their dead liberties.
Upon these steps carpet had been
spread for royalty and the lobbyists of
trusts and corporations had passed un-
challenged on their way to committee
rooms. The people were there today to
remind congress of its promise of return
ing prosperity when the Sherman act
should be repealed, to petition for legis-
lation that would give employment to
every man willing to work and bring
universal prosperity.
He protested against the unnecessary
act of usurpation and tyranny in deny
ing the right of petition and assembly.
The document was signed, -. S. Coxey,
Commander of the CommOnweal of
Christ"

BIG NEWSPAPER CHANGE
Receivers for San Francisco "CaiP' and
Bulletin Asked For.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nav Am action
was begun in the superior court today
that will probably result in radical
changes in the management of two of
San Francisco's leading daily news
papers.
George K. Fitch, the surviving partner
of the late Loring Pickering and the late
James w. Simonton, in the ownership or
the daily Morning Call and the daily
Evening Bulletin, filed petition praying
for the appointment of receiver for the
Call and Bulletin properties. He asks
that the receiver SO appointed be ordered
to sell the Call property and ten days
subsequently to sell the Bulletin at pub
lie auction at private sale to the high
est bidder for cash. Mr.. Fitch asks for
a final accounting between all the par
ties in interest
1t is said that strained relations be-
tween Mr. Fitch and A. r Carothers,
who represents the Pickering interests,
is the cause of Mr.. Fitch's application
for a receiver.
