against her, or what the proving of that

against her, or what the proving Of that
fact might mean to the defendant. Over
the objections Of counsel, Judge Smith
had the father and mother of the girl
to sit by the child's side 50 as to give
her confidence to tell her story and re-
move the embarrassment that is COM
mon to many people when upon the
witness stand. But this was all of
little purpose. Lizzie told her story all
right, but it did not sound as the story
of child that had been hurt and injured
ought to have sounded. The case went
on, however, and as some dispute be-
tween counsel had arisen regarding GER
tain particulars, Judge Smith suggested
that the matter might easily be settled
by each side selecting a leading physi-
clan of Santa Ana and to agree upon a
third and those gentlemen could make
an examination again of the child and
report in the afternoon. No difficulty
arose in selecting three of the most
prominent medical men, who reported to
the court in the afternoon that they had
made an examination of Lizzie Williams
as instructed They gave it, not as their
opinion, but as a fact, that the girl was
virgo intacta, and there appeared no evil
dence whatever of her having been tam
pered with in any way.
In the light of this testimony the
charge preferred against Baldwin fell
of its own weight to the ground, and
Judge Smith instructed the jury to re-
turn verdict Of acquittal. This was
done and the defendant went forth from
the court free man.
But at what cost! For a year past
he has been serving a wrongful sentence
at San Quentin, branded as a criminal
for having committed a crime which has
been labeled the most infamous of all
and yet innocent. And there is no re-
dress for Baldwin. When the sovereign
people makes variegated jackass of
itself it stands confessed for what it too
often is, and that Is ALL

prosecuting witness at the recent trial:
MY CHRISTMAS TREE
with apologies to everybody
Tonight I'll have a Christmas tree.
The year passed has been tough with me.
The year to come for all see,
Looks rocker still.
I know I can't afford the spree,
And yet it fills my soul with glee
To jab the chaste ]. w. D.
And Steig. and Hill.
Upon the topmost branch (n fun)
I'll stick great Justice Patterson,
He's full of wind, the son of gun
He'll not fall down.
Then Davis, chief of all the gang
In fact wouldn't give dang
For any tree, else I could hang
Him somewhere round.
And then with what's akin to fear,
I'll tackle Rosie We're de We're,
And tie him safe, the little dear,
To some sweet leaf.
And Weldon, l will fasten him
Up somewhere with safety pin
(Where he can't get his talker in),
Up near the chief.
There're others in this mans town,
Which space forbids that I set down;
But if you'd see them done up brown,
Come see my tree.
For 1 will call the people in,
And say, as they stand round and grin,
"Behold the gang that's Gavin in
They all belong to me-"

AN ENTERPR1s1Na REPORTER
Utilizing His Vacation to Start Up 6
Preserving Factory

F. H. McAllieter, who for so long has
been identified with department one as
official stenographer, is finding relaxa-
ton from duty by starting up small
factory for putting up orange MARINA
lade. Strange as it may seem, the best
marmalade, and the most largely con-
sumed, is made in Dundee, Scotland,
where an orange tree was never seen
by the oldest inhabitant.
Attention has often been directed to
the fruit preserving industry, but it has
never been taken up in a systematic
way and on a large scale. Mac swears
there are millions in it," and instead of
taking a holiday trip to Klondyke, he
has a force of women at work putting
up marmalade, and intends for the pres
ent to confine himself to that one form
of preserve.

undeserved notoriety. Mr.. Botello was

fraud 1t appears that a Sonorian tried
to pass a check in Miles Duraco's restau

FIFE HAS NO INCOME.

fed that he lives at 1901 California street
with his wife, who pays all the family ex-
penses. She owns the home property.
having bought it with money which she
received from her father, the late Nicholas
Luning.
''You have carriages, servants and quite
an establishment, have you not?" asked
Mr.. johnson.
"My wife has" was the quiet eply.
Witness explained that he has no busi-
ness, except to look after his wife's prop.

ton. When he wants money he borrows
il from his wife. His wife pays all his ex-
penses and he has no income whatever
Some OF his jewelry he sold to his brother
in-law, and his fine watch was bought by
his wife for $50. He owns onlv three
books; namely, a history of the late War
OF the Rebellion.
Mr.. Fife said he would refuse to answer
the question when Mr.. Johnson asked if
the witness was only a consumer and NOT

concerned. He also resented the inquiry
when Mr.. Johnson wanted to know II he
was merely a pensioner on his wife's

Joseph ]. Ebanks Removed
From the Shadow of
the GalloWs.
Application to the u. s. Court
for the Writ Stayed the
Execution.
Was to Have Been Hanged Yester-
day, but Is Saved by Legal
Technically.

Yesterday was to have been the last day
OF life for Jose ph Jasper Ebanks, sentenced
to be hanged for the murder of a man and
woman near San Diego. but an appeal
from an application for a writ OF habeas
corpus applied for in the United States
District Court stayed the hangman.
The application for the writ was filed by
Attorney Eugene Deuprey, and it recited
the formal complaint that the defendant
was never indicted, but was proceeded
against by information of the District
Attorney. The entire matter was sim ply
technical spar for wind, as in the Dur
rant case and as in all other cases that 20
up since the Federal legal fences have
been discovered TO be broken down.
Under the law there is an appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States in ali
cases where the Federal Judge below
refuses, however justly even, to allow The
writ
Notice of the appeal from the refusal to
allow the writ was served on Acting War
den Edgar at the Office of the Attorney
General, on whose advice the hanging was
abandoned.
Ebanks was joyful when he was trans
ferred from the condemned cell to cell 10,
which is occupied by his friend, Chavis.
However. the doomed man was quite COM
posed Thursday night and yesterday
morning. He slept well throughout the
hours OF what he believed to be his last
night, awoke refreshed yesterday morning
and ate a hearty breakfast.
He still talks a great deal about the
hereafter and processes religion. To q
CALL reporter he said:
81 have a strong belief in hereafter
and hope to reach heaven. This has
always been my hope and belief. I am
innocent of the crime, though the eyi-
denee was strong against me. If were a
disinterested party and should read the
around some other man, l would believe
him guilty. l do not blame people for
thinking me guilty, especially since the
gun which l owned was found a few rods
from the scene of the murder. l am
trying to meet my maker with courage,
for 1 believe there is a sure way to
happier land"
A newspaper reporter suggested that
there might be some question as to the
certainty of a hereafter, whereupon
Ebanks said: "If you would pay less
attention to your newspaper business and
more to your Bible you would believe in
future life."
But the condemned man has little hope
OF escaping the galiows for long period
He says he breads dying most on account
of his wife and children. He thinks a
fair hearing of his case might result in an
acquittal, but he does not believe the law
will grant him such an appeal q. will allow
all the facts
