STOCKTON, Cal, March 9.-The

held up near Castle switch, about four

after the European Mail and backed
into Stockton from the scene of the rob-

the mob as it pushed forward over the

THE JUDGES CHARGE.

Attorneys for Both Sides Satisfied With
the Instructions Given.
The judge in his charge instructed the
jury Of the manner in which the evil
dence was to be received and what
weight might be accorded it under the
aspects from which the jury might
Wow such evidence.
Especial stress was laid on the in
junction that no weight must be at
tached by the jury to statements made
by attorneys on either side OF the case,
except so far as they were based on the
evidence. The jury had right to con-
slider whether or not any Of the wit
nesses had testified through motives Of
cam ty for the accused, and also
whether any witnesses had been induced
to testify as they had done under promise
of immunity from punishment, and to
weigh such considerations in deciding
on verdict. There must be conviction
of guilt beyond reasonable doubt in
the minds of the jury before q verdict
of guilty could be returned.
There were no exceptions to the
charge. The lawyers on the side Of
the defense expressed themselves as en-
tirely satisfied with the fairness and
clearness of the document.
The case was given to the jury and
court adjourned.
u The accused man remarked, as he
was led over to the jail, that he ex
pected to be free inside Of two hours.
His remarkable GOODNESS did not desert
him in the final moments. He was alb
solutely imperturbable, saying with
laugh, az he left the room, that thu
crowd outside would soon have to lool

QUEER FREAKS OF NATURE.

Occasions When the Sun Became q Black
and Deadened Orb.
Tho ancient historians mention sew
eral instances Of the sun "going OUT
or failing to shine and give forth its
usual amount of heat and light for Pc
RODS of time varying in length from
three hours to several months. Accord
ing to Plutarch, the year a. B. c. was
one in which the sun was "weak and
pale" for a period approximating II
months.
The Portuguese historians record
"several months of diminished sun
light in the year 934 A. D., and, &C.
cording to Humboldt, this uncanny Pc
Rod ended with ''strange and startling
sky phenomena, such as loud atnos-
pherio explosions, riffs in the vaulted
canopy of blue above and in divers other
rare and unaccountable freaks" In the
year 1901, on Sept. 30 (see Humboldt's
"Cosmos'). the sun turned suddenly
black and remained so for three hours
and did not regain it's normal condition
for several days. According to the noted
Helmuth's "solar Energy, the days Of
seeming inactivity on the part Of the
sun, the days following the sudden
blaokening of the great orb, were noted
for peculiar greenish tinge and are
marked in old Spanish, French and 1tal-
ian records as "the days of the green
sum-" February, 1106 A. D., is noted
in the annals of marvellous phenomena
as a month in which there were several
days that "the sun appeared dead and
black, like great circular cinder float
ing in the sky
ION the last day Of February, 1906"
says Cortevza, an old Spanish writer on
astronomy, astrology and kindred sub
jects, ''tha sun appeared to suddenly 60

for about six hours. !" In 1241 the Euro

End of tho Long Speech Of tho Attorney
for the Defense. ..
Mr.. Erwin touched lightly upon the
relationship existing between the MUIR
dered girl and the defendant. The lat
ter had the greatest confidence in her
and was willing to assist her in bust
ness way. He pointed out that Harry
expected return Of the $4,000 previ-
ously given, and looked for it at that
time. Harry's own testimony, he
claimed, was the best evidence of this.
He had acted in most natural manner
in not at first pushing his claim. His
suspicious, too, were natural, when he
discovered that she was out on secret
drives with other people.
ERWIN then touched briefly on the
testimony of some Of the other wit
nesses and closed as follows:
Il have endeavored to analyze the
testimony, believing that you would do
it before passing upon the case. have
kept my ambitions back in order to
assist you. have done the best could;

could. I cannot help being impressed
that this case is the most monstrous
prosecution ever made. That this is
true is due to no one man. I ain here
to protest against this coming breaker
of iconoclasm. If you, in obedience to
the tremendous pressure brought upon
you to tear down all rules of common
sense and to become blind creatures,

washed out from it's foundation"

Under similar circumstances a cooler

His dress was immaculate, as usual,
