between the killing of Baddeley and the
killing of the inhuman wretch who be-
trayed the victims of the Baptist Church
murder, saying that as that miscreant's
killing would be justified. so the killing of
Baddeley was justified for the protection
of the home and society.
He painted the punishment of the
woman already undergone and declared
that he relied upon the evidence to show
her absolute responsibility at the time of
the deed to which persecution had previ-
ously goaded her.
The Baddeley family entered the court to
hear the closing argument of District At
torney Peixotto, who begged the jury to
dissociaJe sentiment and the cold facts of
swayed by the word-pictures OF counsel
for the defense.
He ridiculed the theory of insanity, and
declared the killing had been prompted
by motive, and that motive had been
proved. The defense of insanity was an
afterthought not borne out by the evil
dence of eye-witnesses, nor the admissions
of the defendant herself.
Judge Belcher delivered an able and ex-
haustive charge to the jury. He told
the jury to find: First, whether
an offense had been committed; secono
if any offense had been committed whether
or not the defendant committed it; and
tHlIu, IL tueTe are 8iuTInaLlVc NnQlnSS what
the grade of the offense was. Two pleas
on the part of the defendant were also to
be considered, viz: One of formal ac-
quittal of the charge of murder of the first
degree" and the other of 'once in jeopardy
on a charge of murder in the first degree u
The court then instructed the jury as to
the legal definition of murder treason.

sions by the defendant" the testimony OF
her relatives side -issue Testimony and r h q
legal significance of the defense of 'insan-
ity." This was shown to consist of an in
ability to distinguish right from wrong,
mentally as opposed to morally.
Finally the court bade the jury find a
verdict not based upon sentiments of pity,
but true in fact as well as in name, accord
ing to the law and the evidence.

DIED IN PRISON.
Death of Harry Baxter, the Oldest
Prisoner in the Branch
Jail.

David, commonly called Harry Bax-
ter, character we'll known to the police,
died yesterday in the House of Correction
at the age of SO years. Thirty years ago
Baxter entered that institution for the
first time. Since then year has not passed
that has not found him there prisoner
for some misdemeanor. In the thirty
years he served as many sentences, and
his terms of imprisonment added together
make about fifteen years. The charges
against him were never higher than being
a common drunkard or vagrant. Baxter
came from a good family back in New
York, and he was among the pioneers to
this State. At one time, while still a
young man, he owned valuable placer
mine and became wealthy. In later years
gambling in mining stocks on Pine street
became his curse. He finally lost his
fortune and was obliged to take clerk
ship for a living. The gambling habit
clung to him, and one day Baxter was
faced by his employer, who accused him
of fmisappropriating small sum of money
He lost his place and self-respect and in
time became known as Chinatown
rounder. Year after year the police ar
rested him and the Judges sentenced him
When sentenced the last time Baxter's
constitution was broken down and he
failed by several months of serving out his
sentence. He once had wife and child,
but they died long years ago.

SUTRO'S OLD RESIDENCE,
The Mayor Closes His Town
House, Which He Built
Many Years Ago.
He Has Decided to Sell 1t and Have
His Family Live at the
Heights.

Mayor Sutro has closed his town house
forever and has his family at the heights
over the ocean.
The Sutro family residence is a plain
mansion with windows on either side
of the entrance. 1t is at the northwest
corner of Hayes and Fillmore streets, sur
rounded by beautiful grounds in which
some of the trees planted by the Mayor
many years ago have grown to majestic
size and are now covered with ivy. There
are well-kept grass plats and great pro-
fusion of flowers.
1t is something like twenty years since
Mr.. Sutro went to live in this homelike
house with his family. Years passed and
he took up his abode in his romantic resi-
dence on the ocean cliffs, leaving the old
home to his WIFE and children.
Not long ago Mrs. Sutro passed away,
and soon afterward the unmarried chill
dren went out to the heights and made
their home there. The old residence was
closed, and now it is to be sold, since
Mayor Sutro has no further use for it.
The grounds have a frontage of 367 feet
on Hayes street and 1877 feet inches on
Fillmore street. As the value of the whole
property is more than any body wishes to
give for the house that Sutro built and the
lawns around, it has been divided into sew
eral lots. The price asked is $40 foot on
Hayes street and $150 on Fillmore. and
for the corner 500 front foot, The
house and the ground it occupies will be
sold for $3O, 600. When Mayor Sutro built
this handsome residence for himself it
stood in wilderness of sanddunes and
hills covered with live oak and under
brush. The land had merely nominal

THE SECOND TRIAL ENDS.
Mrs. Louise WOrthington's Case Ii
Again in the Hands Of
,Jury

The second trial of Mrs. Louise Wor-
thington for the killing of Henry Baddeley
closed yesterday afternoon, and late in the
evening the jurors, having failed to agree
on verdict, were locked up for the night
In the opening of the trial Attorney
Haskell for the defendant aroused the in
dignation of the court by saying that he
would reserve an exception for the Judges
refusal to instruct the defendant fully as
to her rights, and refusing to state in what
particular there was failure of instruction.
Judge Belcher characterized this action
as trick and stated his intention of citing
Haskell for contempt therefor.
Yesterday on the opening of court
Attorney Haskell made complete
apology for any laches committed through
overzeal throughout the proceedings, and
Judge Belcher acknowledged the apology
as satisfactory. 1t is understood that the
threatened contempt proceedings will now
be dropped.
Haskell made an eloquent plea in behalf
of the defendant. He reviewed the testi-
mony and bore chiefly on the proof of the
insanity of Mrs. Worthington at the time
of the murder. He drew fervid parallel

machine-gun, which, by the way, is of the
most modern and approved pattern, was
purchased from Government funds allotted
to the Naval Battalion of this State.
The Accles IS modification of the Cat
ling type of guns, and possesses many
good points for effective work aboard ship
or in the field. Experts in artillery regard
it as the best weapon of its type ever con-
structed, and when it arrives here it will
be regarded with great deal of interest by
every one connected with the artillery
branch of the service.
The gun may be mounted on field car
riages, parapet and embrasure mountings
and naval mountings. 1t can be fired at
any degree of elevation or depression, and
is SO constructed that it is almost impos-
sible for accidental explosions to occur. 1t
is designed and built to stand the rough
usage of field service. 1t has six barrels,
and can be used as long as there is one
complete lock and barrel left. The dimen-
sions of the gun are:
Caliber, 80: number of barrels, 6; total
length of gun, Az inches; number of grooves,
4; twist of rifing, one turn in 10 inches
weight OF gun complete, $50 pounds; rate OF
fire per minute, 400 to 700; length of car
tridges, 3.085 inches.
The bullet is nickel-covered and weighs
22O grains
