90S Broadway, August 10.
All last night and to-day an attendant
has been watching Jennie Lewis, the young
woman who was shot last Monday after
noon. Occasionally her. eyes. open, but
they are sightless and expressionless. Her
limbs sometimes move Systematically, as II
she were in pain, but not a particle of evil
dence does the patient give that she IS
conscious of anything. Her aged father
has never left her side for nearly sixty
hours, and refuses-to take rest. he Is
hopeful. Although he does not think his
child will recover, he believes she will
return to consciousness long enough to
recognize him and to speak the one word
that will definitely fix the perpetrator OF
the crime. ~-s.-:+
The girls mother paid brief visit to her
home in San Rafael last night but returned

"At one time he started to pull the gun
on me, but he found that he had left It at
the station. He came down to Hussey's
and wanted me to pay him some money I
owed him. He came right into the shed
and got into wagon. He: said he would
like to have me pay him about $12 50%that
I owed him. l told him that I did not
have much money at the time, but that l
would try and raise some and give it to
him. He said that l had that amount of
money coming to me from Hussey. l told
him l did not, but as soon as l did I would
give it to him. He then said that wanted
to cheat him. l told him he was liar.
Just as l said that he put his hand to his
right hip pocket to pull his pistol and l
said: You don't need to pull your pistol
because l have no arms. But if you will
step down out of that wagon III settle this
matter with my fists ...
He said that he did not have any gun,
and that could search him. I said,
That's all right. If you haven't a gun
you forgot it, that's all. The people say
you would shoot as easy as not. But if
you want to step down here we'll settle the
matter now could nave done 1t, too,
but Muhlner did not want fist fight. So
we separated. I met him afterward and
we treated one another as friends"
Muhlner has engaged an attorney, and a
long consultation was held this morning,
at which the prisoners brother was pres
ent. The police are looking for the pistol,
which it is supposed was thrown away
somewhere near the scene of the crime.
