gument, and though it had been ex-
ploded before he produced it, did so for
purposes best known to himself.
The affidavit as read by Mr. Deu-
prey, set forth that Rosenberg had ar
rived in San Francisco from Ham
burg, Germany, near the LIST of April,
1899, on a bark named HospidaF or
some such name; that he was ap
preached by tall man who hired him
to kill a girl he called Blanche La
mont and that the deponent had done
so and received something over 5000
for his pains. He further deposed that
Durrant was not the man who had
hired him to do the deed. The affiant
further set forth that he had deserted
from the Hospidar, shortly after his
arrival in port.
The Governor had, however posted
himself in regard to the credibility of
the affiant, and fired staggering facts
at Mr.. Deuprey before the latter had
time to drop the affidavit. The Gov
ernor had kept the telegraph line warm
with dispatches and was master of the
situation. His first allegation knocked
the wind out of the affidavit.
The bark HosDidar arrived in San
Francisco on the 9th of November,
1873, said the Governor.
Yes" returned Deuprey, but Ros-
enberg says the name of the vessel was
the Hospidar or something like it. Z"
"All right returned the Governor, II
am advised that John Rosenberg was
one of the crew of the bark Hospidar
and that six days after his arrival he
deserted. This was over six months
after Blanche Lamont had been muir
dered'
Attorney Deuprey made the most of a
bad situation. He smiled suavely, and
submitted that the statement was re
markable; none the less. Rosenberg S
facial characteristics We're similar in
many respects, and the story had been
told to him by the convict without the
least shadow of hesitation. He went
no further into the matter of ROSen-
berg's affidavit
In conclusion he made a strong plea
for pardon, stating that in case the
Governor could not see his way clear
he would at least grant a respite for
six months in order to allow the con-
demned man further time in which to
attempt to prove his innocence
AT the conclusion of Deuprey's argu-
ment the Governor took the matter
under Amusement, promising to once
more go over the mass of evidence, and
render his decision some time in the
latter part of next week.
