George Wurzbach testified that he
knows Mrs. Jameson. He was en-
ployed in the capacity of collector for
DIR. Kenney last May and had bill
to collect from Mrs. jameson. "She
said that she would pay it when the
pay car came in," said the witness,
"and that if she didn't come to the
office for me to take the bill to the
house." He said that she told him to
see Tom Holt at once and tell him to
plead not guilty and that she would
defend him. The witness stated that
Mrs Jameson called at DR.. Kenney's
office in the Hicks building one day
and sat on witness lap while he was
writing, and that she told him that
he looked so much like her brother.
He said that she failed to call at the
office to pay the bill and that the
doctor sent him to her house to collect
it. On arriving at the house she asked
him in and he went into the parlor,
where he remained an hour, because
she wouldn't let him go.
Louis Manger, aged % years, who
lives at Ala Baylor street, Beanville,
testified that he has lived in the
neighborhood of the Sunset depot the
past twelve years, his address then
being 106 Oak street. He used to COL
lect for several doctors and also for
Mr. Schweppe, a druggist. II know
Mrs. Jameson" he stated. II was in
vited to her house about three or four
years ago and stayed there from

That is all that took place ON that
visit.

Here the proceedings were delayed
by the absence of what Mr.. Tarleton
termed an important witness. Charles
Wurzbach, who was one of defend
ants witnesses, had left the court
house and could not be found. Mr..
Tarleton stated that he expected to
rest after this witness was examined.
A fine of $40 was entered against the
defaulting witness and an attach
ment issued. About O'clock the wit
ness was produced and placed on the
stand. The witness testified that he
is a brother of George Wurzbach and
son of the late County Judge @. L.
Wurzbach. He lives at 5O4 Carson
street with his wife and family and
lived there five years and used to go
over to the Jameson house every
evening to read the Daily Light. He
said that he has heard that Mrs. Jane
son was a little ''fy' and when he
heard this he told his wife to keep
away from her as much as possible.
He said that one day while he was
waiting for a car in front Of the
house to go down town, Mrs. jameson
had hitched up her buggy and asked
him to ride with her, which he did,
and that he rode as far as Herweck's
paint shop, where he stopped. Anoth-
er time he rode with her up Main street
and one day she sent boy
to him across the street
from Scholz's and asked him to
have a glass of beer with her, which
invitation he also accepted. He said
that he rode with her eight or nine
different times and that since the af-
fair of last May occurred she would
not speak to him.

The first witness on the stand was
Police Officer Bourn, who testified
that Holt told him that he had Dor
rOwed the lantern with which he went
to the Jameson house from a sewer
man; that Holt told him that Mrs.
Jameson said that if he had a written
message to hand it in at the window;
that he went in at the window, but
didn't say who opened the window.
When he went into the room no one
: was there but the child, Mrs. Jane
son going out into the yard. Holt said
that he had been invited and when
she didn't recognize him he tried to
quiet her.
The state rested and Attorney Tarle-
ton, of counsel for defendant, made an
address to the jury, admitting that
Holt was at the Jameson house on the
night of May 3, 1897.
The first witness for the defense was
Tom Holt, the defendant. He said he
has known Mrs. Jameson for three
years. He met her for the first time
in the Southern Pacific yards, while
he was employed in the machine
shops. She went there to meet her
husband. Later he met her while on
his way TO the plaza. He said that
she stopped him and wanted him to
go with her to Dreiss' house in the
Meerscheidt addition, and he did
so. On another time he met her
on Commerce street and drove her in
a buggy to Wolfson's to get a dress
pattern. Another time, he said, he
wanted to take her out driving, and
that she said she would go when
Harry was out. When the witness
called at the house he said he rang
the bell, and when she asked who was
there, he replied that he had mes
sage. She asked if it was a written
message and the witness said "no,"
and she told him to bring it around to
the window. Witness did not see Mag
gle Brady, the servant girl. He said
he went to the head of the river one
evening with, her in her buggy.
District Attorney Levy at this point
interposed an objection on the ground
that the counsel was leading the wit
ness, which objection was sustained
by the court and defendants counsel
excepted.
Il did not touch her in the back
yard" continued the witness. 81 told
her that if she would raise such dis
turbance would leave. saw a man
put his head out of a window and

The following letter was produced
in evidence, which Holt claimed to
have received:

DIE LONE TALKS.
Scope of the Reforms as Viewed by
the Spanish Minister.

Washington, Feb. S.-The Spanish
legation has received with the full alb
stract of the new reforms Tor the island
of Cuba and Porto Rico the preamble
of Senior Canovas, announcing the terms
OF the new decree. This preamble ex-
presses the kindliest feelings towards
the Cuban people. Minister Dupuy de
LONE discussed the scope of the re-
forms and said among other things:
THE electoral reforms were not referred
to at any length in the decree of the min
istry, for the reasons stated in the pre-
amble of Senior Canovas, that they will
require the action OF the cortes. | am in
formed however. that the government
contemplates extending greatly the basis
of the suffrage but they desire to do it
in such way as to prevent undue influence
being acquired by the illiterate portion of
the population. Any educational qualifica-
ton which may be suggested by the Gu
bans, and which seems reasonable and
proper. VIII undoubtedly be adopted by the
cortes.
1T is the purpose of the government to
show the greatest generosity towards the
insurgents who lay down their arms. The
reforms cannot we'll be put in full effect
until the sovereignty of Spain is acknowl-
edged in ali parts of the island. The gov
eminent will not relax its military activity
in any degree if the insurgents show dis
position to continue the contest and fail
to appreciate the great concessions made
by the homo government.
THE tariff features of the new decree
mean great deal for the United States as
well as for Cuba. The first column of the
new tariff schedules, providing for revenue

gent. The document covers several
pages OF the official gazette. and addi-
tional details of its provisions which
we're obtained by a representative OF

OF the scheme:

VIII Not Compromise.
Washington, Feb. 5.-When asked as
to the probability of the insurgents ac-
cepting the proposed reforms, Senior
Diaz-Albertini, the secretary of the le-
cation, replied with emphasis:
There is not the slightest possibility of

the rumors set afioat by the Spanish We
have letters from all our leaders in Cuba,
