They then held up the station agent and
Nottingham took all the money and they
ran in different directions.
Jones also told where the masks and
clothes were and identified them when
produced in court.
The young man labored under consider

HAPPENINGS IN SAN JOSE.
Several Affidavits Filed by
Counsel in the Barron
Will Litigation.
A San Francisco Cigar Drummer
Assaulted at the Depot by a
Young Footpad.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April M.-Several
affidavits were filed in the Clerks office
yesterday by the counsel for respondents
in the Barron will contest, notice of mo-
ton for a new trial pending.
Two of tie affidavits are subscribed to by
Eva Rose Barron, the widow of the de-
ceased, who alleges that during the open
ing of the proceedings of the recent trial
she saw William r. Barron and his wife in
court. She also says she heard an attor-
ney say in court that no matter how the
suit might go the $1,000 charity represented
| by counsel would be paid.
George w. Green, in an affidavit, says he
saw. William r. Barron In San Jose during
the trial.
The affidavit of F. NJ Chapman is to the
effect that he met William r. Barron on
Bush street. San Francisco, while the trial
was in progress and that the latter wanted
to know what he had against his brother,
George Barron, and said: "Our mother
helped to make the money and that will is
all wrong He says William r. Barron
appeared in good health.
Morris Newton says in his affidavit that
at the trial of the contest he testified that

on the evening after the verdict he re-
ceived the following telegram from Will
liam r. Barron: "The will is broken
Many thanks for your kind assistance, as
you have enriched me. Do owe you any
thing?"
In the rehearing on the motion for a
new trial these affidav;ts will probably be
used to support the claim that William R
Barron was contestant in the suit and
that he should have joined his brother,
George Barron, who appeared alone as a
contestant in the case.

Bothering Newspaper Reporters.

Bothering Newspaper Reporters.
BAKERSFIELD, CAL, April 24.-Great
interest is felt in the Lord Douglas epi-
sode and it is the general talk about town.
The young man, who is just turned %, is
the meekest maniac that ever graced a mar
row cot in an iron-bound cell. His pale,
white face and rowing blue eyes show lit
tie sign of insanity. The general impress
sion one would gather from his appearance
would be weak character and no intel
lectual force. He is still in the County
Jail awaiting his hearing, which comes up
tomorrow, and great care is being taken
to keep the iron doors locked.
All day he has been receiving visitors,
mostly English friends, who never fail to
address him as "My Lord" and newspaper
men. This evening he declared he never
saw so many reporters. "Why, blast them,
they're an awful nuisance" said he.
Several took snapshots at the Lord with
cameras. One reporter gained his good
graces for a while and took two good views
of him. Later in the day this same re-
porter was asked to "get out. His Lord
ship, if left alone, would like to talk. but
his attorneys, Emmons and Graham, have
cautioned him to keep still. The
few leisure moments his Lordship enjoyed
he spent reading liberal supply of maga-
zines, which friends sent in.
This afternoon Miss Adds called at the
Jail and was closeted with the Lord for
quite while. After she came out she told
friend he declared he was still deter
mined to marry her. This is in contradic-
tion to what he said this morning. He
then, after admitting he got out the IL
cense, said he did not know that he cared
