San Francisco, March 23.--The trial
of Mrs. Mary Davidson, charged with
having extorted $500 from Rev. C. O.

moved for a habeas corpus, on the
ground that Miss Matte Overnan and
Mrs. Tunnel, necessary witnesses to
the defense, We're absent, one in Mexi-
co and the other near the Mexican bor-
der. Counsel said he intended to prove
by these witnesses that a conspiracy
was formed between Brown, Matte
Oyerman and Mrs. Tunnel to falsely
accuse and convict Mrs. Davidson of
blackmail. He added that the absent
witnesses were being supplied with
money by Brown to absent themselves
from the city. All these statements were
supported by affidavits Of Mrs. David
son and afterwards filed.
The court denied the motion for a con-
tinuance, stating that the absent wit

would not probably come within his
jurisdiction. The defendant excepted

Washington, March 21.--The latest

was undertaken at Caracas by a voun-

boundary dispute The matter SO far
collected was dispatched promptly by
the home government to it's minister
here, Senior Andrade, and while the doc
uments themselves are in New York
the advance mail has brought to Wash

comprised in the installment. There are
81 copies of the original manuscript
records, but these, after all, are OF sec
ondary Importance in comparison with
the large number Of maps and charts
that have been gathered to sustain the
Venezuela case. In this first lot of
matter there are no less than 60 Such
maps, and in addition there are refer
ences TO almost twice as many addition
