The bloody shirt found by Officer Storm
near the scene OF the murder last Sunday
has not yet been identified. The shirt is
homemade and by skillful, painstaking
seamstress. the buttonholes being hand
worked, with daintily regular stitches.
Some Santa Barbara woman made the
shirt, but whether it was afterward do

or clothed one of her own who may be
implicated in the crime, no one can tell.
The belief is strong that it will be identi-
fed, and through it a clearer light cast
upon the tragedy.

lures, so as to obtain place on the ticket.
There will be a National county ticket in

are being knocked away, and now that ali
OF the leading attorneys of the city have
absolutely refused to attempt their rescue
from State prison it would seem that
their fate is sealed, and that within a few
weeks they will be wearing the stripes of
infamy.
During the first trial OF Calendine.
which resulted in disagreement of the
jury, one of his strongest witnesses was a
man named Barney Carroll, who in
habited fishing-scow on the river, and
who swore positively that he had met
Oalendlne on one OF the most frequented
streets OF the city at the very hour in
which he was accused of having been
present at the robbery of the streetcar
company's barn. Later ii was discovered
that Carroll had in his possession q GUAM
tity OF stolen goods. and since then he has
been an inmate of the County Jail here.
The official screws have been applied to
such an extent that he, becoming alarmed,
concluded TO make q clean breast of the
matter.
He sent for District Attorney Ryan and
acknowledged that his story of having
met Callendine on the night of the rob
berry. was falsehood, manufactured from
whole cloth, and that the stolen goods
found in his possession had been procured
from Mrs. Caflendine and were the fruits
OIL former robberies of her husband, which,
being secreted on her premises, she feared
would be discovered by the police and
place her own liberty in jeopardy.
This confession created considerable ex-
element in the city and will evidently
remove the last chance of saving the
accused man from the penitentiary.
