S. II. Rosenbaum, secretary of the San
Francisco Wine and Liquor Company, re-
siding at 1904 Jackson street, stated that
he had no opinion at all in the case. He
was passed by the defense and put through
a long course of questions by Mr.. Deuprey
all of which he answered in such a manner
that there could not be the slightest legal
objection to him. He was passed for the
time.
William Mocker of 725 Golden Gate
avenue stated that he had never heard of
the case before, but he was positive in his
assertion that he would not hang man
on circumstantial evidence.
NJ. Ernstein was challenged and excused
on the same ground.
H. J. Wicker of the Good Fellows
Grotto was the possessor OF an opinion
which could only be removed by the
strongest kind of evidence. He was ex
cused and the court notified the attorneys
that Mr.. Rosenbaum remained in the box
to be disposed of.
Mr.. Peixotto asked him if it was not for
his father instead of himself for whom the
summons was intended. Mr.. Rosen baum
said he did not know, but was certain it
came in a letter addressed to him.
"Why did you come here" asked his
Honor, eff the summons was intended for
your father?"
1.-THE summons was mailed to me-" was
the reply.
An examination of the list showed that
it was the father, not the son, whom it
was intended to summon, and S. H.
Rosenbaum was excused. The name of
but one more venireman remained in the
box and it became necessary to adjourn
for the day.
Il dislike to take the recess | am going
to order" said Judge Murphy, "but the
fact is came here this morning against
the protest of my physician. do not de-
sire that personal matter of mine should
interfere with this trial, yet l have been
suffering intensely"
His Honor then ordered the County
Clerk to draw $50 more veniremen for
duty in the case, lbs to appear Friday
morning and 125 Monday, and, after
cautioning the jurors, took an adjourn
ment till Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

Peixotto stated that his wife had expressed
strong opinion on the case, which, how
ever, would not have the slightest weight
with him. This not being legal ground
for challenge seemed to worry counsel on
both sides considerably They finally de-
cided to join in asking that he be excused,
and the court granted the request.
At the reconvening of court in the after
noon J. Schoenfeid and ]. H. Sellers each
stated that they could, under no circum
stances, convict on circumstantlal evil
dence.
Benjamin Harris was passed by the
State but challenged by the defense on
the ground of having formed fixed opln-
ion.
BE. White informed the District At
torney that he was suffering from indi-
gestion and said that he was a married
man. He also had very decided preju-
dice against the intiiction OF the death
penalty.
L. J. Goldman was excused on account
of fixed opinion, which he said would re-
Quire evidence to remove.
H. Goldman said he had conscientious
scruples against the death penalty.
J. E. Adams stated that he had sort OF
an opinion.

men of the same mind as your own 2"
asked Mr.. Deuprey.
Il should dislike to take the chances"
was the answer, and he was allowed to de-
part
J. Budde said he had such scruples
against the death penalty that he would
not agree to verdict providing death as
punishment unless the crime was proven
by an eyewitness.
Martin Kedon said in answer to Mr..
Barnes inquiry as TO the state OF his mind
on the death penalty:
81 don't liFe to sec man hanged.
"You do not have to see II II you prefer
not" interposed Judge Murphy.
"Well / like to gee man punished most
any other way, but not hanged.
He was excused.
i. Steller said that he would not join in
a verdict on circumstantial evidence.
George ]. Ward is not on the last assess
ment roll
TR Hunt did not wait to be questioned
as to his competency.
II am acquainted with people living
near Emmanuel Baptist Church. They
are customers of mine" he said, and he
was excused by consent.
H. Van Hagan was excused because of
his prejudice against circumstantial evil
dence
n. H. Lang said he had an opinion
formed, not from reading the newspapers,
but from study of human nature.
ITO make long story short, he said,

formed an impression, so that | would be

Z. Wheaton answered the question of
the defense as to whether he had formed or
expressed an opinion:

the defendant is guilty."
Mr.Wheaton then stated that he had not
understood the question, as his hearing
was defective.

N. Joseph was excused by consent on
the ground that the business of his en-
ployer would suffer.
Thomas Mclaughlin, who had to be
called three times at the door while he sat
inside the court, stated when he arrived in
the box that he could not hear we'll

court.

but that fact would not influence his
Judgment.
Mr.. Goddard passed satisfactorily until
he was asked whether his name was on the
assessment roll. He did not know, and
Mr. Barnes sent for Deputy Assessor
Herser, who was sworn and testified that
Mr.. doddard's name did not appear on
the list.
E. Lewis, residing at 1850 Turk street,
was excused by consent, for the reason that
he was such sufferer from nervous head
aches that he hardly felt capable of serving
if sworn.
II. Dickman of Ills Railroad avenue,
was challenged and excused on the ground
that he had an opinion, which could only
be removed by the strongest kind CT evil

siding at 2709 Suffer street, stated his I'M

that he would not join in verdict where
the penalty would be death on clrcum-

A new STORY
Not a Particle of "NuttinesS"
About It.
"Fish" and s'Gun' Stories Beaten Ho1-
low by Romancers-A Heavy and
Truthful Finish.

Years ago "ish" stories had
the credit of being the easiest
way of entertaining friends at
this time of the year-and they
did fairly well. Later "gun"
stories succeeded, and some of
them weren't bad, but now it
appears that yachtsmen think
they have a God-given mission
to tell more "fairy tales" than
any one who chooses to appeal
to the mortal sense of humor.

After this last story refresh

"Most Of these fellows are occa-

reply.

though deficient in hearing, but was ex-
cused by the defense on the ground of hav-
ing an opinion.
Charles Adams stated that he had an
opinion, and was excused by the defense.
John Bennett said he had acted as a
Juror in the case of the People VS.. Jane
Shattuck, who was sen fenced to prison for
life for the killing of Harry Poole. He
was passed temporarily by both sides.
T.. A. Engeloerg was excused by the
prosecution for his opinion.
L. Granz was excused by consent be-
cause his absence from his business would
work hardship.
On peremptory privilege the prosecution
expressed satisfaction with John Bennett
Defendants counsel asked the privilege of
further examination. The prosecution
withdrew consent to Mr.. Bennett, and the
court permitted both sides to further ex-
anime him.
Mr.. Barnes again expressed satisfaction
with competency of the venlreman, but he
fell before the peremptory challenge OF
the defense.
c. S. Capp expressed his belief in his
own competency to sit as juror.
Have you ever sat as a juror in case
where the penalty vas capital punish

"Iu 1850 | sat in a case in the trial of a

He was passed by both sides.
A. w. Wilson was excused by consent
because he was client of General Dickin-
son.
John Cheline, fruit-dealer. was excused
to prevent injury to his business conse-
quent upon his absence.
William Walker said it woul be impos-
sible for him to reconcile cath verdict

say to him, gentlemen? 1t is the people S

Excuse Mr.. Capp," said Mr.. Deuprey,
and the court ordered the box filled once
more.

SENTIMENT AT SACRAMENTO.
Ex-Strikers Denounce the Inscription on the
Monument.

Ex-Strikers Denounoe the Inscription on the
Monument.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 13.-Con-
tributors to the fund for the monument
over the grave of soldiers killed in the
railroad wreck on the 18th of last July re-
fuse to express themselves in relation to
the inscription which General Graham had
put upon that monument, an article re-
garding which appeared in THE CALL this
morning.
They plainly state that it is a delicate
subject, and if they spoke their minds they
might lose by it, as this is a railroad town
pathizers here. One contributor to the
fund, who did not want his name men,
toned, said:
"The inscription is undoubtedly correct.
That the derailment of that train, which
resulted in the death of soldiers, was done
by strikers is, in my mind, I'M
questionable, and any man who knows
opinion. The inscription says Muir
dered by Strikers. This does not mean
that all the strikers were murderous, but
it does mean that some OF the strikers de-
rallied the train, and those who did MUIR
dered the soldiers who were on it. Yes,
believe that Murdered by Strikers is un-
doubleday true inscription"
The fact that this inscription Is on the
monument does not as yet seem to be gen.
orally known among labor leaders in this
city, but those who were told of it all said
it was Just what they expected, and all fell
to reviling General Graham, who, they said,
had from the beginning made matters out
great deal worse than they were. They
take the inscription to be an insult, and
deny positively that the work of wrecking
the train was done by strikers. If it was
done. they say, by some fanatic in their
ranks. it was done unknown to SO per cent
of the men out on the strike, and they say
that the inscription is a sample of General
Grahams vindictiveness.

HOPS ARE DOWN LOW.
Prices Are Shorter Than They Have
Been for Twenty Five Years-A
Poor Outlook.

The outlook for the hop-growers is poor
one this year, for prices are lower than
they have been in twenty-five years, and
no contracts are being made even at the
short prices quoted.
The crop will be ready for market in
September, but as yet only few contracts
have been made and these cover only a
very small percentage of the yield ex-
pected. There was an excellent crop last
year, and as prices were not high the deal
ers bought up enough to last them well into
this year. As consequence there is no
demand for hops and prices are falling
rapidly.
For last years hops from 21l to cents
is offered, and for new hops but cent or
so more. Some contracts made during the
spring were for and 10 cents, but there are
no contracts being made now. The mar
ket in England controls the market here,
as it does all over the world, and until
prices are settled in London there will be
no demand for hops in the local market.
During the past twenty-five years the
price of hops has fluctuated from 10 and IL
cents to 81 10, and back to 10 cents, but
during that time new hops were never
down to cents, the quotations for
this year. The prices quoted are all for
hops laid down in San Francisco, and out
of this meager price must come the freight
tariff.
