ness, fair Venetian, was furnished by the
proponents, who alternated between Span
ish and Italian in interpreting the attor-
neys' questions to her father.
Barron's fortune at this time consisted OF
"a mare, a mule, and wagon with two
Wheels" Mr.. Delmas' acquaintance with
Spanish and Italian stood him in good
stead in this examination, as several points
of Importance to the contestants omitted
by the fair interpreter, were brought out
under the correction of the lawyer.
In the afternoon session Mrs. McClatchy.
a stout lady, who owned to so years, and
who is a nurse related in the broad
est Aberdeen dialect her experiences
with the Barron family. Her testimony
was the history of the latest Barron
progeny and her conversation with the
happy father. During the examination of
the Scotch lady by Mr.. Delmas regarding
her fitness as witness she developed such
an extraordinary amount of obstinacy that
the counsel turned her over to Attorney
CARRIER with sigh of disgust. She abso-
lutely declined to give the tenor of her
alleged conversations with Edward Barron
while member of his household. Though
the old gentleman drank like a fish for
several years before his death the most re-
markable part OF the testimony of pro-
pOnentS' witnesses was that not one of
them ever saw him under the influence of
liquor.

At THE BANK OF ST. HELENA
Plans for a Raid Boldly Formed by
an IRtOXicated Man.
And Deputy Sheriff From NaPa Ar.
rived on the Scene Just in Time
to Prevent the Robbery.

NAPA, Feb. Sword came to the Sheriff s
office about noon to-day that there was to
be an attempt to rob the Bank of St.
Helena this afternoon or evening, and
that an officer was wanted to guard the
property. Deputy Sheriff Brownlee left at
once well armed, and was soon at st.
Helena. eighteen miles north of here
There he was told that John Wooden,
formerly saloon-keeper here, was plan
ming to rob the bank, and that he was first
coming in to get some money changed
and survey the premises and return later
TO do the work.
The officers took their places in the back
Office, and in a short time Wooden came in
according to plan and throwing down a
dollar asked for two halves. He was
accommodated and went at once to his
room in the hotel, having first hitched his
saddle-horse in the alley back of and very
near the bank. Knowing that Wooden was
much given to drink and was probably
nearly on the verge of tremens, Brownlee
concluded to arrest him before lie returned
the second time, and so went to the hotel
and after little chat told him that he
knew he was planning mischief and was
going to take him to Napa, at the same
time demanding that be turn over his gun.
This, Wooden was not willing to do, and
it was only after a lively scuffie that
Brownlee took the pistol away from him
and placed him under arrest No formal
charge has yet been laid against him, as
the District Attorney is waiting to learn
the wishes of the bank officials.
The matter leaked out by Wooden trying
10 get hotel bellboy at st. Helena, to
help him, and the boy at once told his en-
ployers. Wooden gave as an excuse for
asking the boy that he was to have part
ner and he had failed to come on time. 1t
is counted very fortunate that the officer
acted as he did, for Wooden bears hard
reputation, and being full of liquor would
doubtless have undertaken the foolhardy
trick of robbing the bank in broad day
light.

| testified that Frank Sullivan had asked ia
be witness in this case, as "Mrs. Barron y
was having hard time of it against the
world. She had another call from Attor-
ney McKinstry, who came on the same
errand.
The Scotch midwife said the first person
she talked to about the case was Frank J.
Sullivan of San Francisco, who called upon
her to secure her professional services two
weeks ago. She swore she had not talked
about the case to Johanna Curran, the
housekeeper and constant companion OF
the widow, although she had spent the
two-hour noon recess with her, whereat a
broad smile spread itself over the court
room.
"In your visits to the family at the
Baldwin Hotel between the years 1886 and
1880, what did you talk with MIR. Barron
about ?" asked Delmas.
81 don't know specially"
"You volunteered that incident about a
letter from William; can't you tell one sin
gle incident that happened?"
81 could" replied the witness, "but there
are some things that I will keep to my
self"
81 will not, and when l say that I mean
it."
''Of course you do, being Scotch" said
Mr.. Delmas, smiling.
al did not come here to tell everything [
knew" continued the witness. "There are
some things 1 intend to keep to myself"
Delmas evidently concluded what she
knew was of little consequence, for he did
not insist upon an answer.
CARRIER then attempted to introduce in
evidence a copy OF the first Pillsbury will
that was executed in 1890.
81 object to this copy" said Delmas. cit
has not been proved that one of the dupli-
Gates of the original will that was executed
in duplicate is not in existence. Mrs Bar
ron has testified that she saw her husband
burn up one of the duplicates, but the
other may have been found since"
"That is not very probable" said CARRIER.
''There is much probability of it." re-
sponded Delmas. 'Mrs. Barron testified
once that she had produced all of George
Barron's letters that were in her possession,
but during the course of the present trial
she brought forward an additional letter
and one of the most important in the case,
and how many more will be forthcoming
is uncertain. She may yet find the dupli-
cate of the will of 1890"
The court held that there was not suffi-
Gent testimony to prove the non-existence
of the first Pillsbury will and the objection
to the copy being introduced in evidence
was sustained.

it is in order, Mr., Chairman"
J. A. Woodson, interrupting, said: "Mr.
Chairman, object. 1t is hardly fair for
the lady to debate the question and then
o1fer motion before anybody has chance
to reply"
4 am willing to give way to the gentle
man TO answer my argument" SAID Mrs.
Merrill in reply.
Woodson stated that there was power
greater than the convention or the senti-
ment of the alliances, and that was the
people OF California, who adopted an
amendment that municipalities might
borrow for term of forty years. He con-
sldered the opinion expressed by Mrs. Mer-
rlll as only fad of the Farmers Alliance
people.
The resolution was defeated. The
finance committee reported that 1t had
called on the Governor, who seemed to
favor the idea of having the proceedings of
the convention published in pamphlet form
by the State Printer. He declared that he
had no power himself in the matter and
referred the committee to the proper legis-
lative committees.

address the convention, made short
