REPRovED BY THE COURT
" Second Regatta of the California
Yacht Club-Robbed
Restaurant.

yesterday was developed when Mr.. Wright,
: eX-manager of the Hotel Galindo, came
back on the witness-stand and rather fatty
eontradicted the testimony he had just
given.
In the afternoon he testified as to disrob-
ing the wounded man and handing the
garments to Marks, friend of Boogar,
as he took them off. So the evidence stood
when a recess of five minutes was taken.
At its conclusion District Attorney Shook
recalled Wright, whereupon the witness
said he laid the garments of Boogar
on the foot of the bed when he took them
off, and that Marks did not handle them.
The point was to make it quite plain that
' B oogar was not armed on the night of the
murder.
Attorney George A. knight, who ap-
pears for the defendant, confronted the
witness with the dis crepancies in his testi-
mony, whereupon Wright grew uncertain.
He said he did not know even that Boo
CARS residence was at Eighth and Frank
lin streets.
DR.. J. a. Miller, who was first called to
attend Boogar, said that morphine does
affect the brain, and that the morphine he
gave to Boogar TO ease his pain must have
affected his brain. All this was an effort
on the part of Knight to make the peoples
witness admit that Boogar was not of
sound mind when he made his ante-mor-
TEN statement accusing Michael Collins of
his murder.
W. It. Alcom was the first witness called
in the case. He had seen the shooting, he
said. He saw scufie in front of the Ga
Undo Hotel, then heard the shots. He fol-
lowed Collins to his home and was there
when the policeman arrived. He did not
hear Collins say, II did it, or anything OF
the kind.
A. A. Schlueter said he saw Collins fire
the shot. THE men were engaged in a
combat" he said, land after the first shot
was fred the men were scuffling about for
thirty seconds. 1 thought neither had
weapon in his hand. ! did not see pistol
in Boogar's hand.
Captain Hunt, the Waterman, detailed
the circumstances of the meeting between
Boogar and Collins. He said there was no
He did not see Collins flourish his re-
Yolver.
! James A. Insfer. Policemen Banks and
stokes also testified. The case goes on
tomorrow.
