EVENING MEETING

At s o'clock the Presbytery again con-
vened as judicial body for the continu-
alton of the trial before them.
Rev. Williell Thomson was called by
the defense and subjected to further cross
examination. E. E. Galbraith interposed
an objection to question put to the wit
ness, and the question OF his (Gal-
braith's) right to act as prosecutor was
again discussed. At a meeting OF the
pres5ytery held earlier in the evening
Mr.. Galbraith had been installed, the
former ruling upon the question being
reversed. The objection was overruled
and Mr.. Galbraith was maintained as one
of the prosecuting committee.
In cross questioning the witness, Mr..
Howard exhibited great keenness in
bringing out salient points, but it availed
him nothing. as the objections uf the
prosecution were sustained in every in
stance.
Rev. X. H. Hartley of Riverside was
the next witness called. He was asked
the same questions as those propounded
to the former witness and answered in
effect the same.
Upon GLOSS examination Mr.. Hartley
did not exhibit the same readiness to an.
swer as in the direct examination. Where
an opportunity was offered lie interjected
explanations adverse to Mr.. Howard.
which was received with laughter by the
general body.

BURNS SURRENbERS TO JOHNSON
White VIII Not Prosecute the Man Who Shot
Him


Thomas Burns, the man who shot Geo.
Witte on the north bound train Wednes-
day night, was brought to the city yester-
day by Constable Harry Johnson. The
officerifound Burns at the Dunlap place,
on the San Fernando road, few miles
from where they fell from the train.
Burns was terribly bruised by his fall
ing hospital for treatment. He did not
care to make any detailed statement re-
garong the fight. but when told that
Witte had said that he, Burns. had shot
him from the rear, pronounced it to be
a lie.
Burns says that when he started for
the other car to get berth he did not
know that Wittc had gone ahead of him
intimation that Burns had of tho pres
ence of Witte was when the latter began
abusing him, and finally followed it up
by striking Burns with his fist. Burns
retreated and told him he did not desire
any trouble, but Witte came after him.
so Burns drew his revolver and shot at
his assailant. They then grappled and
struggled ferc-ly for few m oments and
rolled off the platform. Burns was badly
nurt and started for the city. He was
unable to make much progress though,
and slept in a corn field near Dunlap's,
where he went in the morning and
was found by Constable Johnson.
Wtte decided not to prosecute Burns
and would swear to no complaint against
him. and left for Visalia on the afternoon
train. Burnc remained here. There

Until a Conductor Took Up
the Paper
THEN THE TROUBLE BEGAN
Now Everyone Wishes That He Hadn'
Done II
The Officer Is Dlsgraced and the Railroad
Has Violated the Law In
Issuing the Pass


Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 10.-Com mand.
ant Hawkison of the Mare Island navy
yard, pursuant to instructions from the
navy department. at Washington, is in
vestigating the recent escapade of Lieut..
A. 2. Osborne.
Lieutenant Osborne recently arrived
from the east with woman who was
presumed to be his wife. They travelled
westward on pass made out IN the
name of A. P. Osborne ana wife, riding
over the Santa Fe this side of Chicayo1
Upon their arrival Lieutenant Osborne
went to Mare island and the woman took
apartments at the Mrabeau hotel. A
few days later the woman left for the
east. ana accompanying her was COM
mercial traveller who had kindly agreed
to lmpersonate Lieutenant Osborne in
order that the pass might be used. The
matter was successfully arranged through
the careful manipulation of ticket
scalper In this city. The man who i'm
personated the husband was to pay for
the meals and Pullman accommodations
OF the wife in return for his own trans
portation.
Tho Santa Fe officials in this city
learned OF the matter, however, and be-
tore the couple left San Francisco all the
Santa Fe conductors ha6 instructions to
conhscate the pass when it was presented
for passasge. The pass was taken up just
east of Mojave. The woman had to pawn
her iewelry to pay her passage to Chi
cago and the drummer who personated
the navy officer was stranded in Albu-
querdue for several weeks.
1t was thought at the time hat the
woman who had travelled westward with
the lieutenant was in reality his wife.
There was no reason to suppose any
thing else, in view of the fact that sne
had travelled as the wife of the lieutenant
and insisted that she was Mrs. Osborne
when the pass was lifted. 1t has trans
pired recently however, that Lieutenant
the woman's conduct, but, 1t is said,
does not mitigate the offense of the navy
officer.
During the past few days the COM
mandant of the Mare Island navy yard
has been Intervening the railroad otfic-
ials in this city to gather further facts
about the case. but as far as can be
learned he has not cleaned much infor-
nation. as the interests Of the railroad
company lie in the opposite direction.
The issuance of an interstate pass is
violation of the law, and it is sale that
the Santa lie is not anxious to have too
much publicity given the matter ON that
account. 1t has been learned the pass
was obtained by the woman who accom-
panied Lieutenant Osborne to San Fran
cisco, and was issued at the request of I.
E. Gates, second assistant to thu presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific IN New
York.
Now, while naval circles are interested
in knowing what will be done with
I,ieutenant Osborne local railroad circles
are wondering what influence was brought
to bear upon Mr.. Gates that he should
put himself to the trouble of requesting
the transportation.

case, and III. T. Gordon was called for
the defense. He testified to being present
at tho meeting previously referred to- at
which ne, with other elders and the Rev.
Mr.. Howard were examined by the COM
mittee from the presbytery.
In response to questions relative to that
interview, Mr.. Gordon said that the de-
PENDANT did not, as alleged, repudlate his
VOWS as a minister, deny the authority OF
the presbytery to divide churches, or
manifest any disrespect for the presby-
terry.

quent interferences with the witness as to
what he should answer and what he
should not. Exceptions were taken to
his action anc the pertinent question was
asked by the defense as to whether the
reverend gentleman was conducting the
prosecution or acting as moderator. The
counsels OF the prosecution stated that
they had mo objections to the questions
asked and the moderator subslded.
The examination of the witness was
continued, further questions being asked
as to whether the defendant refused to
submit to the authority or jurisdiction of
the presbytery, and the answer was given
hat defe ndant refused to submit to the
jurisdiction hut not to the authority.
Mr.. Gordon's testimony was throug bout
contradictory to that given by the uppos-
Ing witnesses. Being put on the stano
for the defense the opportunity of bring
ing out the material facts on that side
OF the case was afforded to better ad 9.
vantage than was given during the fore
part OF the proceedings. At that time all
questions calculated to strengthen Mr..
Howaru's cause were objected to by the
prosecution and invariably sustained by
he moderator.
When the direct examination was COLI
cluded the judicatory adjourned until 8
O'Clock this morning.
