With the interval Of one day depart
ment one resumed yesterday what has
been its wonted appearance during the
past two weeks Every seat was occu-
pied and stragglers lined the walls of the
court room and showed no signs of being
tired as the hours slipped by.
And this to listen to the revolving de-
tails of the brutal outrage committed
by John Lee upon the person of little
girl, the 13-year-old daughter of an old
time family of this city.
Additional interest attaches to the
beetle browed defendant by reason of the
fact that he is laying claim to portion
of the large fortune left by Schiappa
Pietra, the Ventura capitalist. Lee is
anything but prepossessing in appear
ance, and has already served term in
the penitentiary for an offense COM
mitted in the northern part of the state
similar to that for which he is now on
trial. Frank F. Davis, esq, and I. Gates,
esq.,, appear for the defendant, while
Deputy District Attorney McComas, rep
resenting the district attorneys office,
is being assisted by Messrs. Munday and
Del Vale, special counsel.
The entire morning was occupied In
obtaining a jury, but by noon this had
been accomplished, and upon the court
reconvening after the noon recess the
victim of the alleged crime was placed
upon the witness stand. The child is
somewhat mature of form, but is quite
childish in manner and speech.
She respOnded to the interroga tories
of Mr.. McComas quite bravely for a
time, but very soon the tears began to
glimmer in her eyes and then the re-

THE ALANIZ CASE,
Nine. Casenave Again Recalled to the
Witness Stand.

Mime. Casenave was recalled again
yesterday for further examination by
counsel for the contestants of the will
of Sonora Alaniz.
1t is one of the peculiarities Of the case
that this witness, who Is the sole de-
visee under the disputed will, Is being
popped on and off the witness stand in
the most curious fashion. AS matter
of fact she makes a rather poor witness
for the contestants, for she hazards
nothing, and failing to remember what
is asked of her says so, and let's 1t go at
that. She was asked yesterday to tell
all about the last Illness of the Sonora
AlaniZ. Counsel desired to show by
the witness that her aged aunt was not
herself during her last days, but no such
admission could be wreSted from Mime.
Casenave.
She did state, however, that about a
month before her decease the sonora
was taken to Santa Monica to see if
the change would not benefit her, and
few days before her death returned to
the city The day of her death she got
up, dressed herself and walked to the
lounge, and there passed away sudden
~. Witness testified to having minis
tered to her, and that her aunt was quite
herself to the end.
Mr.. Appel wanted to know If witness
has not now in her possession $23, 900 of
her aunt's estate which she has never
accounted for, but Judge Brousseau OBJ
jected, and this line of examination was
promptly ruled out by the court.
After Nine. Casenave was retired, Mrs.
Rubio, her co-conspirator, as contest
ants charge. was also again submitted
to further examination. Nothing very
startling was elected, and an adjourn
ment was made at an early hour to per-
nit Mr.. Appel to communicate with wit
nesses he desires to produce in court this

PUT TO SHAME.
c. E. Anthony Obtains a $50 Verdict
Against the Pullman Company.

Charles E. Anthony, boy 13 years Old
has wrested $50 from the Pullman Pal
ace Car company by way of damages
and while that amount was not all that
was asked, it amounts to something like
victory when it is remembered how
seldom this particular company is
mulcted in damages a all.
The circumstances of the case Were
that on the night of November 13, 1894
the plaintiff and his son were passengers
in a Pullman car on a train of the
Southern California Railroad company
1t was a through car from Chicago,
where they took passage for Los Ange-
les, paying the regular customary
charges for railroad fare and for loGg-
ings upon the Pullman car.
Mr.. Anthonys son had with him
among other things necessary and
proper to be carried with him for his
comfort, suit of clothes, underwear,
cuff buttons, etc, usually worn, together
with a small sum in cash and also watch,
chain and jewelry such as is usually
worn, the plaintiff alleges, by person
travelling upon railroads.

The United States Navy.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In a recent interview with Commodore
Melville, chief of the Engineers Bureau of
the United States navy, L said to him:
Commodore, 1 read in the press that our
battle ship Oregon, at San Francisco, could
not take on coal enough to steam to the
Sandwich islands, how is that" To which
the commodore replied: "It is a bold lie,
made of whole cloth. The Oregon can take
on coal for a voyage of 1900 miles. Homo
lulu is but 1900 miles from San Francisco,
and the Oregon could steam 1900 miles be-
yond and not stop for fuel.
/ told the commodore L was pleased to
know it; that our relations with Japan and
Spain were calculated to make me feel anX-
ious about our navy in case of a war The
commodore replied: "Dispel all uneasiness
about our navy. We outclass Japan SO
much that no fear can be entertained from
her. She is a barbarious nation, cannot
make war ships and must purchase of other
nations. Honolulu is a thousand miles or
more nearer to US than Japan AS to SPAIN
we outclasS her in a Slight degree. She
cannot make battle ships, but must pur-
chase. Her credit is not as good as ours.
War ships must cross, the Atlantic three
thousand miles before she can reach us We
can concentrate our ships and meet hers
on the ocean wherever we choose, and it
would be an accident if her ships ever got
in sight of our shores Our credit our
wealth and our capacity to make battle
ships make us safe from an enemy 5000
miles from our shores. Don't worry about
Japan and Spain.
II NAV possibly be good news also to
know that Commodore Melville will give
the Reed petroleum burner a test to see
If 1t is what the navy needs 70 outspeed
and proiong the voyages of battle ships to
distant ports. If so, an Indiana man. and
an Anderson man, has solved the problem
so important and for so many years
sought by the best talent in All &C, ciyilized
lands ID. G. CHAPMAN.

about sixty loads of wheat at New York and out
