than usual, possibly on account OF it
being Saturday, and realizing by this
time that there was little to see and
still less to hear.
Mrs. Barnes was the first arrival, &C.
companied by Miss Louise Barnes,
niece OF w. s. Barnes, who has attended
her during the trial. Her little daugh-
ter also accompanied her, but left when
the trial commenced. Mrs. Barnes at
once assumed her bowed-down attitude
and continued it during the day, occa-
Bionally relaxing little.
Salter was brought in shortly after
and showed Q more confident air than
at any time since the beginning of the
trial. Before the case opened he walked
MP and down the court room with his
head down and hands in his pockets.
apparently in deep study. His conf.
dence was probably due to an
article in the Morning Sun which
stated that one of his friends last night
offered to bet $40 that he (Salter) would
be quilted, as it would be proven that
he never had procured any poison and
that he was tired of the woman ard
Wdubou w nuhhc dot luhb DhIhoe, kuOW-
ing of the relations between them with
out taking any active measures to stop
the same, would react in Salter's favor.
However, these rumors only tend to
keep up public interest and furnish more
food for gossip. During the week the
report that Salter has wife and child in
Pasadena has been freely circulated and
more or less discussed. Also that he
has been guilty of other and equally as
vile crimes has created much talk. He
ia now painted as black as Mephistoph-
sles. and it is hard to make him any
blacker in public opinion. As District
Attorney Oster could not be present
until after 10 O'Clock. an adjournment
was taken until 10:lb and later post
poned until l p.m., when all the attor-
neys were present.
MARSHAL RALPH's STORY.
As Mrs. Sulivan's cross examination
was the frat proceeding, she being un"
able to appear the district attorney sent
word to her doctor to see if she could
testify at her room, and word being
brouGht back that the doctor was not in
his office Marshal Ralph was sworn
and testified.
He stated that he knew all the parties
TO the case. Had talked with Mrs.
Barnes about the first of June near her
residence on f street, his deputy Rich.
ard Varley being present. They went
there to have a talk with her regarding
her intimacy with Salter and to induce
her to break off with the man. She
expressed herself that there was moth
ing wrong and that Barnes had made
oil the trouble. that there was nothing
in it. He saw her week ago last Mon
day on Third street and accused her OF
being intimate with Salter. She denied
having anything TO do with the poison~
ing of Barnes and asked what she could
do to help Barnes and the children out
of the ecrape. He told her that he
could not guarantee her anything.

SUSPECTED CT MURDER.
SAN BERNARDINo. Nov. IT, Salter,
the prisoner, is suspected OF having
killed Paul Power about two years ago.
He was assassinated one dark night
while driving hack on + street by
eome ono shooting him in the back.
Powers revolver. the one he always
carried on his person, has been found
in Salter's possession, and ne has been
heard by two witnesses to make sugges.
tive illusions to the killing of Powers.
which give ground for suspicious. A
note, in q handwriting similar to Sal.
ter's, was sent to hackmsu threaten
ing to eend him the same way Paul
Powers went. These pointers are put.

E. II. sCHAETFER's ARREST.
f. Ii. Schaetfer, promising young
attorney. OF the firm of Eggers & Schasf'
fer, was today arrested and taken to
Salem, Marion county. H., on a charge
OF emoezzlement. by Sheriff &. j. Helm
of that city. Young Schaeffer was a son
of the late Chief Justice Schaeffer of
Utah. Some years before his death he
removed to Salem, Ill.,, and formed q
lsw partnership with his son, E. Fl.
Schaetfs-, and took charge OF the estate
of one Shakeford. deceased. While the
estate was still in the courts the elder
echaeffer died, leaving the son still in
business. The young man settled up
the estate and turned the proceeds over
to the heirs, less his attorneys fee, $4,000.
which he deducted and then removed
from Illinois to California. The heirs
were dissatisfied with the fee charged
and demanded settlement. binding
no other way, they preferred charges OF
embezz. cement and took out requisltion
papers. The young man has many
friends who are much grieyed over his
trodbles.

versation with Salter lately, he had said
that he had had trouble with Barnes,
the cause being jealousy. and that
Barnes had men on his track, but was
not much of a man (Barnes) and that
he would make Barnes eat his heart.
LITTLE VIOLET BARNES.
Little Violet Barnes, the l2year.old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes, was
the next witness. She testified to
knowing the defendant Salter for about
a year and half. he coming there first
on New Years for dinner. He roomed
there and was always CROSS and cranky
with children when they we're around,
especially in the dining room, which
they used for a general utility room.
She and her brother never went into
the bed room when her father was ill,
or when Salter was there. She ssw her
mother in Salter'e room several times,
and when the latter was ill her mother
waited on him. She had been in Sal
ter'e room and saw lots OF medicine
there. Medicine was also kept in her
fathers room: considerable medicine in
both rooms. She heard Salter and her
mother talking about her father. but
could not understend the conversation.
She heard Salter pleading with her
mother about her father, but did not
know what it meant. Salter had al
ways been cross with the children and
never wanted them around. She often
saw Salter on the street when che was
with her mother and her mother
would go into store or some
place to avoid him. but it always
seemed they met him. When aeked if
she had talked to anyone about the case,
she said no, that her grandma told her
TO tell tho truth. She wrote letter to
Salter, telling him to stay away from
home and not bother her mother; the
reason of this was that every time Sal
ter came there her mother felt bad.
He was always begging her TO do some.
thing, and she didn't want to. He said
to her Go ou,' Don't be fool" Her
mother was afraid Of Salter. She said
that Salter had pistol under his pill
low all the time. She had heard her
mother tell him (Salter) to go on
away" to Leave her Alone" He would
reply, II will not" He was always
cross, and was never pleasant about the
house.

knowing Mrs. Barnes by sight. Saw

looked through a crack and saw Mrs.
Barnes and Salter hugging each other
and kissing each other good bye, Salter
saying, Good bye till we meet again.
God bless you;" and she said, "You will
help me-" and he said. Yes" They
then went into little side room end

Barnes came cut and lett by the front

back door and pulled a gun, saying he

1t the Jail and she voluntarily said: II

nave tried to get rid OF him but knew
not how to do it, as Salssr had threat
ened to kill Barnes.
She admitted that Salter had given
her poison for Barnes. and that he had
asked her where the medicine for Barnes
WAS kept, and she showed him. he
went in and stad there for long time.
He (Ralphs) afterwards cav Salter and
talked with him about the Barnes case,
and Salter told him it WAS none OF his
business, and ii there was anything in

Ralphs ther gave him a good talk, and
told Salter to cease his persecution OF

he wonld not do snything to favor
Barnes, and intimsted that there might

tions had with him tSalter) it was EVIL

On cross examination he said that, in
conversation with Mre. Barnes, che
stated that poisoning commenced before
they (Barnes) moved. and that she put
the bottle OF poison over the cupboard
and it was destroyed, aud Barnes never
received any of it. 1t was in flask Of
whisky, which we destroyed when they
moved.
He remem bered no other cases of
poisoning mentioned by Mrs. Barnes.

loving him up and dong him injury.
