THE PUBLIC IS ALSO TIRED
The Ashley Baldwin Case Must Be
Rushed Along
Tangled and Takes natters orse
by Explanations

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-Judge
Slack is thoroughly tired of the Ashley
Baldwin suit. He gave notice of that fact
to all parties today Counsel on both
sides were advised to appear in court
tomorrow prepared fir a night session.
The judge said that he did not intend
to let the case run over into another day
if it could be avoided.
The proceedings today revolved en-
tirely about the witness, A. II. Ander-
son. who was partly examined on Mon
day. Anderson is the eX-employe of
Baldwin who marked with watchful eye
the growing intimacy between the mil
lionaire and Miss Ashley while they were
together at Santa Anita. Anderson kept
a notebook in which he recorded the
intimacy of Mr.. Baldwin and Miss Ash
ley. An entry was made in the memo
randum book April 10, 1898. after An
derson had returned to Santa Anita. He
still had an eye on Baldwin and Miss
Ashley. One day he saw them enter a
cottage together. According to Ander-
SON he was tempted to peep under the
blind and through the window. He
saw enough to convince him that his en-
plower an dthe fair Lillian were quite
intimate, and, duly impressed by the in
cident, he made record of it in his ever
handy book. AnderSon's story of these
entries caused him no end of trouble
when he came to be cross examined by
Attrney Highton. The witness was re-
quired to produce his book. 1t then ap-
peared that in connection with the hotel
incident Anderson had written ''im-
portant evidence in the Ashley Baldwin
case" Attention was then called to the
fact that at the time Anderson claimed
to have made the entry no trouble exist
ed between Baldwin and Miss Ashley
and no suit of any kind had been COM
menced.
Pressed for an explanation why he
made such an entry, Anderson replied
that he had none. The witness later re-
freshed his memory and he ventured an
explanation. 1t was that he made the
original entry in a small book and after
ward transferred it to the large book
which he had in court. 1t was his i'm
preston that this transfer was not
made until after Miss Ashley had COM
menced her suit.
The cross-examination developed that
at one time Anderson had contingent
interest in any judgment Miss Ashley
Might obtain.

EARLY DAYS IN KANSAS
Some of the Experiences OF Ex-senator In

Speaking of his experiences in Kansas
in territorial days, ex-senator ingalls,
said recently:
LAS all my diaries, journals, note books
and personal memoranda were destroyed
when my house was burned a few years
ago, l am unable to definitely fix the
date of my first visit to Topeka. l re-

absence it mustfbei left to surmise, con-
lecture and inference. My impression IS
that it was in the spring of 1861.
Il had followed the political caravan
from Lecompton to Lawrence the pre-
ceding year, and as secretary of the
council participated in the tumultuous
ceremonies that attended the death of
the territory and the birth of the state;

envy of Wagner or driven him to de-
spair and the grave. But this was in
Lawrence and the long extinct bonfire
on Massachusetts avenue only sheds an
indirect and inferential ray upon the
time of my first visit to the capital.

the state senate, and had received assur-

AN AWFUL GIRL
Got Mad at Her Brother and Shot His Head

YUMA, Ariz., June 30.-Because of
ungovernabe wrath, Marian Moreno,
Mexican girl, II years old, stands in
the awful position of murderess, her
victim being her 14-year-old brother,
whom she shot and killed today as the
result of a quarrel.
The brother and sister became in
volved in a wordy war over some trifling
matter and soon came to blows. Marian
lost all control of herself and, rushing
into the house, seized loaded shotgun.
She returned in a moment and taking
deliberate aim at her brother shot him
dead, blowing the entire top of his head
off. At the sight of her bloody work
her mind gave way, and she is now a
raving maniac. She was arrested and
placed in Jail, but her condition is such
that she will in all probability be COM
mitted to the insane asylum.
