THE BARR MURDER.
Charles b. Henderson Tells His Story
in Judge Belcher's
Court.

Charles B. Henderson was the principal
witness on the stand in the murder charge
against him now pending before Judge
Belcher. He was among the first witnesses
for the defense.
Henderson's story was to this effect: He
had been drinking all the evening before,
and being unable to sleep he arose about l
O'Clock and sailed forth on to the streets.
he met Barr in the Baldwin Hotel saloon
and Barr asked him to take drink. He
did so, and then they had another and
another, and then more, and finally as
Henderson was leaving Barr insisted that
he take another.
henderson did so and then turned to
leave. The bartender asked who was to
pay for the drinks, and Henderson mo-
toned to Barr who had invited him. Barr
called him a liar and supplemented this
with a few more epithets, and finally
struck Henderson. Henderson says he
tried to leave through the billiard-room,
but not being familiar with that locality
he turned back into the saloon again.
Then one of the bartenders held Barr
while another tried TO show Henderson
the way out to Ellis street. While on his
way out, Henderson says, Barr broke away
from the man who was holding him and
came toward him. Henderson says he re-
ceived one blow on the head and then he
drew his pocket-knife and cut at Barr once.
This was the principal testimony yester-
day. The prosecution ended its case with
DR.. Deane on the stand. DR.. Deane was
assistant police surgeon when Barr was
taken to the Receiving Hospital. He sim
ply described the wound.

my action, it is true, might have been
deferred until the railroad company's case
mad been decided but it would then have
involved another trial of all the issues, and
great unnecessary expense. BY interven-
ing IN the case at this time the rights OF
the Government, the Railroad Commits

Will all be decided at once and for all time.
1t is certainly as much to the interest
OF the people OF the State TO learn just
what powers the Railroad Commission
nave IN this way as in any other, and the
rights OF the State can in no degree be i'm
paired by the intervention of the United
States
That the same points are raised in the
Governments bill of intervention as are
touched upon in the bill ofcomplaint of the
southern Pacific Company is easily ex-
planned by the fact that I allege those
points in the bill of Intervention as being
on knowledge and belief. In this way
was materially aided in covering all the
points deemed necessary.

OF the Central Pacific Railroad Company

The Judges Decision on the
Appeal Will Be Given
Next Friday.
REVIEW OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.
A Novel Objection to the Courts Elk.
preston Of Sympathy for the
Defendant.

The counsel on both sides of the Durrant
case by agreement submitted tIfeir blocks
of affidavits on the matter of the motion
for new trial yesterday, without pro-
longed argument.
The defendants prayer for a rehearing
has been prayed and his last struggle in
the lower court made, and the supreme
bench, in all probability, will sit for the
great trial.
The whole course of the argument, read
and spoken, upon the motion from its be-
ginning down to the end, was a general
allegation of prejudicial happenings, mis-
fit judicial decisions on the part of the de-
tense, and specific denial by the prosecu-
ton.
Judge Murphy's courtroom was crowded
yesterday, the audience being drawn
thither under the impression that they
would hear the motion denied and Dur
rants doom pronounced. But his Honor
reserved decision until Friday morning
next.
General Dickinson began with the Gun
ningham contempt episode, and claimed
that Miss Cunningham should have been
compelled to divulge the source OF her in
formation regarding Mrs. Leake's testi-
mony. This brought Judge Murphy to
the front.
"If l remem Der correctly" said he, "you
called Miss Cunningham for the purpose
OF contradlcting Mrs. Leake in her asser-
ton that she had given no information to
the press. Miss Cunningham on the stand
denied that she had received her informa-
ton from Mrs. Leake. Then it was de-
cided that she need not tell where she OBJ
tanned her information"
1--WE claim that she was witness for
the Defense answered General Dickinson,
land we claim that she should have been
compelled to answer questions on the
stand"
Dickinson next claimed that in the
sealed envelope matter the District Attor-
ney in his cross examination treated Dur
rant as his own witness, and also that no
evidence on that subject had been given
on which to cross-examine the defendant.
AS to whether there was anything in this
envelope, there was no earthly evidence,
nothing in the record.
Upon the point concerning the publica-
ton of testimony General Dickinson re-
peated his startling claim that when an or
der had been made excluding all witnesses
from a courtroom the newspapers in pub
fishing the proceedings were in contempt.
Otherwise the order was virtually abro-
gated and rendered null and void.
DO you mean to contend, them" inter-
rupted Judge Murphy, that the newspa-
pers had no right to report the testimony,
provided they did so fairly and correctly?"
Il do so contend" returned the general
bravery.
81 wish you would find me a case where
a court has ever been upheld on that
point"
General Dickinson advanced an I'M
looked-for claim that the court erred
grievously when it remarked frequently
that if it committed an error it desired to

Rev. P. H. Schweitz, Arrested
for Forgery, Makes a
Statement.
HE CLAIMS HE Is A RABBI
Unique Explanation of Why He Hap.
pened to Pass So Many Forged
Checks.

Rev. P H. Schweitzwill have his prelim-
mary examination on the charges Of
forgery preferred against him before Judge
Conlan tomorrow morning.
1t will be remembered that he passed
forged cheeks on several grocers and rail
road men. He also endeavored to nego-
tate an order given him by the Southern
Pacific Company on their ticket agent for
half-rate fare to New York. He had
been living with Mr.. and Mrs. Sawyer, on
Waller street, whom he met on the train
about the middle of October, while en-
route from Minneapolis to this City. At
Portland he passed forged check for $2S
on c. E. Holmes, a druggist there and a
friend of the Sawyers, and Chief Crowley
has received letter from Galland & Tul-
loch of the Victoria Hotel Seattle, saying he
passed a forged check on them for $40 in
payment of his board, receiving Sc 80 in
change. That was while he passed through
Seattle, on the way to this City. The
check was drawn on the Union National
Bank of Minneapolis and signed William
Miller" 1t was returned marked mo &C
count"
Schweitz, after passing the forged
checks here, disappeared from the City.
From a description of him published in
THE CALL, Captain Lees, who was in Sac
ramento at the Kovalev trial, arrested him
there and brought him back to San Fran
CISCO. When his trunk was opened at po-
lice headquarters pair of valuable opera
glasses, that had been taken from the
house of Mrs. Sawyers brother on Scott
street, were found in it.
The railroad people were on the lookout
for clergyman who had been swindling
the Eastern roads by getting orders for
half-rate tickets under different names
and selling them to ticket-scalpers. They
suspected Schweitz was the man, and
their suspicious were confirmed when Sec
rotary Caldwell of the Western Lines Pas
senger Association telegraphed full de-
Scrlption of the clerical Swindler, which
tailed exactly with Schweitz.
Since his arrest SchweitZ has referred all
Inquiries to his attorney, but yesterday he
consented to make a statement.

Secret Service Agent Harris
Declares It Was Paid to
Clear Howell.
A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Defense Accuses Harris of Animus
Toward the Stockton Counter.
feit.Dealer.

81 have evidence that Mr.. Harsop re-
ceived $1,000 in two installments from the
defendant to swear that the boxes OF
counterfeit coin were handed to Matt
Jones in Stockton, and not to Howell"
That was the unsolicited information
that Secret Service Agent Harris tacked
on to the end of one of his answers while
he was on the stand in Judge Morrow's
court yesterday morning, and it was
staggerer to Campbell who was cross
questioning him for the defense. Camp
bell began by discrediting the statement,
but United States District Attorney Foote
said he would prove it. and then counsel
for the defense asked the court to order
the voluntary reply to be stricken from
the record. He declared that he did not
call for any such information, but the
Judge denied his motion.
1t had been little squally just before
that, when the eagle-eyed Campbell
claimed that he had discovered Harris
signalling to the District Attorney from
the witness chair. He told the court that
he noticed sly wink and hand raised,
and he objected to insinuatlng smiles that
might impress the jury fully as much as
words. But Harris denied that any signals
had passed between him and Foote.
Judge Morrow took a hand in the mat
ter when Campbell referred to it again,
and assured the irate attorney that when
he should have anything stricken from the
stenographer's record the smiles would
certainly be erased also if any were found
in the book.
''Didn' you state that you would break
this defendant or convict him, and that
you had already cost him $50, 900 and would
cost him every cent mis- wife has?' asked
Campbell
''No, sir, did not"
Then Campbell referred to newspaper
articles and to other sources to prove, as
he said, that Harris had tried to,poison the
public mind against Howell and had con-
centrated his efforts against the present
defendant after having shown lenlency TO-
ward several other persons against whom
there was equally as much evidence or
having dealt in counterfeit coin.
Harris said that Marsh had been &C
corded immunity by the Government for
having turned States evidence, and that
Garfield, the San joaquin Valley farmer,
was in his employ after he found HIM with
bogus coin.
The Government Mint detective was
taken over much of his testimony given at
the previous trial, but he proved himself a
careful and deliberate witness, and defend
ants counsel accomplished little in his
long tits.
Harris mentioned incidentally, in the
course of his remarks upon how the coun-
terfeiters in the North Beach gang had
been located through Garfield and subse-
quently through Marsh that counterfeit
coin will become discolored when dropped
in glass of beer.

do so on the side of the defense. The
court, he said, had no right to express
sympathy in any direction. 1t tended to
prejudice.
Counsel then referred to the Daily play,
entitled "The Crime OF the Century"
which had been enioined by the court, and
held that the play no more preludiced the
defendants cause than the daily publica-
tons made during the trial General
Dickinson read the following references in
instructions asked by the defendant and
given by the court:
The evidence in criminal case must satisfy
the Jury to moral certainty and beyond q
satisfy the jury of the guilt of the defendant
before they can convict II the jury are not
entirely satisfied they should acquit.
The court refused to give such instruc-
ton, and instead gave the following:
Each independent part should be estab-
lished to the same degree OF certainty as the
main fact-that is, to moral certainty and
beyond reasonable doubt, or you must
acquit.
Wishing to direct the attention of coun-
sci to the complete paragraph referred to,
Judge Murphy read aloud the following
from CALL clipping, In which were pub
lished in full his instructions to the jury
Each and all of the facts and circumstances
from which you would be authorized to infer
the guilt OF the defendant must De proved be-
You'd all reasonable doubt; each material, in
dependent fact or circumstance necessary TO
complete the chain or series or independent
facts tending TO establish the guilt of the de-
fendant should be established to the same
degree of certainty as the main fact which
these independent circumstances taken to-
gether tend to establish; that is to say each
essential, independent TACT in the chain or
series of facts relied upon TO establish the fact
of the guilt must be established to moral GER
tainty and beyond reasonable doubt, or you
must acquit the defendant.
The following instruction was also asked
for and refused:
To warrant verdict of guilty the opinion OF
the jury must approach absolute certainty;
that is, a conviction so complete and uncondi-
tional as to exclude the possibility of a doubt
Judge Murphy held that no popularity
of phraseology could abrogate the simple
fact that when the jury was satisfied be-
yond reasonable doubt then they were en-
tirely satisfied
General Dickinson went through much
of the courts instructions, claiming that
elemental points in his own submitted in
structions were refused by which the jury
were msled, all tending to the injury OF
the defendants case.
At the close of the arguments of the de-
tense Mr. Peixotto presented few authori-
ties in denial and opposition to the motion
and closed without extended argument.
Judge Murphy stated that he would take
the motion under advisement and rende;
his decision next Friday morning.

TEST OF THE MILITIA,
Issuance Of Call That Brought a
Thousand Men Out on Van Ness
Avenue.

"test CALL" issued by General R. H.
Warfeld Monday night, resulted in the as
seem bling of nearly 1000 men of the Ma
tional Guard on Van Ness avenue at $50
o'clock.
The several companies left their armories
at As P. NJ. and were on the ground in less
than an hour. The distance was nearly
mile and half from al points and the
marching order was perfect.
There were about a thousand men of the
militia assembled for inspection on the
avenue. and many of the companies had
made the march of seventeen blocks in
an incredibly short time.
The troops were reviewed on the avenue
by the staff of Governor Budd and General
r. II. Warield and his staff. The Gov
ernOr, who was expected to be present,
was unavoIdably detained.
The men were given hardly more than
an hours notice, and the manner in which
they turned out reflected credit on their
officers in command, not to forget mention
of the lines military readiness.
There was later an attractive military
spectacle, as well as an elegant banquet at
the California Hotel.
General Warfeld entertained the officers
of the Governors staff and those of his
own over an elaborate menu in the private
dining room in the California.
1t was an elegant affair in every partlcu-
lar, and nothing was left for regret except
the absence of the Governor.
General Warfeld intends giving further
evidence of the State militia's efficiency.
He wishes the troops to attain an ideal
standard.
William Sine, brother of Captain H. T.
Slime of Troop A, and also member of the
troop, met with bad accident during the
evening. His horse, a vicious animal,
deliberately lay down and rolled on it's
rider, three of whose ribs were fractured.
