HELD WITH CLOSED DOORS
The Preliminary Examination of
Eugene Pardini Com
menced.
Judge Low Orders the Officer in Charge
of the Defendant Out of the
Courtroom.

The preliminary exam ination of Eugene
Pardini on the charge OF criminal assault
was commenced before Judge Low yester-
day afternoon. Ike defendant was repre-
sented by ex-Judge Ferral and Attorney
Pistolesi.
AS soon as the case was called Attorney
Pistolesi rose and asked that the examina-
ton be held wit III closed doors. The court
room was cleared and then PistoIesi made
motion that Policeman Rourke, who was
seated beside Prosecuting Attorney Mad
den, be excluded.
Rourke remarked that he was in charge
of the defendant, having brought him from
the City Prison, and was therefore entitled
to remain in court.
and found that Rourke was right, but Pts
tolesi argued that the bailiff of the court
had charge of the prisoner. He would not
permit Rourke to remain in the court, as
he had been talking to the girls who were
to be witnesses, and if they saw him there
they would testify just as they had told
him. He had no objection to newspaper
men being allowed to remain, but he would
most strenuously object to the presence OF
O'Rourke.
The Judge closed the argument by order
ing Rourke and the newspaper men also
out of the court room.
Eourke Immediately went to Chief Crow
ley and the Chief wrote note to Judge
Low that Rourke was the officer in charge
of the defendant and should not be ex
cluded from the court. Rourke took the
note to the Judge, who, after reading it,
tore it up and once more ordered Rourke
out of the courtroom.
1t was learned that Secretary Kane OF
the Pacific Coast Society for the Suppress
sion OF Vice, and Policeman Coleman, who
arrested Pardini, gave their evidence as to
his voluntary admission to them when ar
rested, and three girls, Eva Guinasso,
Louisa Oliver and Julia Christensen, also
gave their evidence. This closed the case
for the prosecution and continuance was

HENDERSON'S SLAYER.
The Murderer of Clarence Barr Appear
Before Judge BeIcher.


Before Judge Be1cher.
The Henderson murder case was before
Judge Belcher yesterday and the testi-
mony of three witnesses was secured. Ed
ward J. Bennett was the first, but he
appeared in spirit only, for as he is lost
somewhere in the East his testimony
given in the Police Court was read. 1t
was not read without much opposition
from the defense, but the court finally
allowed the evidence. 1t was to the effec,
that he had led Henderson away from
Clarence Barr and out of the Baldwin
Hotel saloon, but that he had come back
again ard that then the stabbing took
place.
John S. Edwards, also bartender in
the Baldwin bar, was the next witness
called. He told how Barr had slapped
Henderson's face for not paying for the
drinks ordered and then after Hender-
son had left the saloon he returned and
renewed the alteration with Barr. Then
the knife was used.
George Dobson, colored porter work.
ing in the hotel, told how he had seen
Henderson come back into the saloon
with his hand behind him, and how, when
he approached Barr, ne saw the CLEAN of
knife in Henderson's hand The case
then went over until this morning.

KENNEDY'S BALL TEAM.

oscar Iolie Explains How the Profess
sionals Hoodwinked the Clever Anna
teurs From the Olympic Club.
Billy Kennedy, alias the "Parson," of
the olympic Club, has not recovered his
equilibrium yet. The cause of Kennedy's
strange mental condition was the igno-
minious defeat of his pet team of baseball
players by professional nine at Central
Park last Sunday.
Oscar Tolle, we'll known patron of
athletic sports, gives the following particu-
lars regarding the game and how the anna
tears were shanghaied by the boys who
are looking for the long green.
'You see, it was this way" remarked
the political athlete; 1.-The Olympic base
ball team conquered everything of any ac-
count on this coast-that is, so far as anna
teur baseball mines are concerned. You
know friend Billy, the 0. C. Parson,
who organized the team and managed it
successfully through the circuit, longed for
greater fields to conquer, and when the
profs' arrived in this City he witnessed
some of the games they played and quickly
concluded their stuff was not hot enough
| to burn up his celts in baseball.
"Well, friend Billy called meeting of
his champs, and, to make a long story
short, the amateurs decided to give the
professionals rattle.
THE captain of the San Franciscos was
notified of the wishes of the captain of
the Olympic team, and he replied IN a
very neatly worded letter that 1t would
! give him the greatest pleasure imaginable
to pit his nine against the crack amateurs
in game of ball.
well, you see, the Olympic boys showed
their opponents under. There was not
much betting on the match, as the anna
teurs were somewhat doubtful about it,
but since the game and up to the time of
the second meeting nothing but baseball
and the phenomenal playing of Cooney ct
al. could be heard within the walls of the
! Olympic Club.
"Why Kennedy was seriously thinking
of sending the champion amateurs to the
| East to compete against some of the lead
ing professional teams; but they won't go
now.
well, money was flying around Central
Park ad libitum last Sunday. The
Olympic boys speculated on dead sure
thing and they got it. It's the old story
repeated whenever an amateur runs
away with the idea that he is better man
than the professional at the latters game,
you can always look for fall in amateur
stocks when the bidding runs high-that's

Bookmaker Billy Beverly, who was away
ahead of the game at the Bay District and
has been away on trip over the Rockies,
arrived from the East yesterday.
Salisbury, who started in the opening
race, was backed from 80 down to 25 to
and made very creditable showing. He
tired about sixteenth from the wire and
should do better next time out.
Pepper was a red-hot favorite, but at
present is hardly the horse he was in the
last. A less experienced boy in the saddle
than Willie Martin and he would have
been second.

Thornhill, but he was replaced by Bergen.

branches of equine sport the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club intends giving in the near
future a race for gentlemen riders at five
furlongs. This would certainly prove
great drawing card, and as Burlingame

would no doubt like to try their metal
against some of the City horsemen it is to
be hoped the event will not be long
delayed.

AFRICAN PALM OIL.

An Important Article of Commerce IN
England.
The palm oil which Is the staple
product of the Lower Niger, as of the
west coast generally, is obtained from
a wild palm. The natives use It both
for cooking, for burning and for smear
ing their bodies with. It is to them,
indeed, "a great deal more than ghee
IS to the Hindu. The fruit of the tree
grows in large pricl1ly clusters, and It's
skin lis OF a bright red or orange color,
burning to yellow when ripe. The
pulp Is rather bitter in taste and IS
reddish-w white in color. With the fruit
is a stone or kernel about the size OF a
albert. The natives, gathering the
fruit when ripe, bruise It gently IN
wooden mortar, and then boil it In
water in large caldrons; while simmer
ing. it is stirred with a stick, to sepa-
rate the pulp from the kernels, which
sink to the bottom and are reserved
FOR other uses. The oil which floats on
the surface of the water as the boiling
proceeds, is skinned off and placed IN
earthenware vessels.
The Niger affords two kinds of palm
oil. The one is OF the consistency OF
butter, and is called hard" oil, and
for this the only market Is England.
The other is liquid and is called soft
ill., and for this the highest price is
obtained in all the European markets.
There is hardly any difference in the
uuality, but only in the method od
preparation. The buying price on the
river ranges from five pounds to siz
pounds ten shillings per cask o.
two hundred gallons, and it i
| calculated that about eight thou
| sand tons are annually exported
