of the death sentence of Salter D. Wor-

for doubt that the executive will refuse 10

were attacking the evidence as presented
IN the case the Governor said:
There is no use of attem pting to con-

he tells story that on its face i'm mplicates

The gist of the story, as Valentine tells
il. is that Mr.. Swift. Mr.. Dodge and Hicks
went to his office, and Dodge introduced
Hicks to Valentine. Hicks had a check
for $50 on a bank az AshheId, n. c.. and
wanted to get il eashed. He was repre-

SAUSALITO, CAL, May 13.-There may

sobbIe up all the rentabIe places in town.

Money seems to be plentiful with the
gam blers and they have spent it freely.
not only in renting costly places. but in

To-day the electric batteries are being

completed. The parapherpslia have been
repainted and many new Improvements
are seen. The opening of the poolrooms
for business Will take place next Monday
and it is significant fact that on the
same evening the Board of Town Trustees
will meet. The citizens residing on the
hill are showing their opposition 10 the
presence OF the gam blers IN the town, and

New and Strong Testi-

Venturan.
The Startling Story Told by a
Prisoner Whose Name Is
Dennis
Evidence That Shows the Accused
to Be a Most CcWardly
Assassin.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 13-The
preliminary examination of Deputy Con-
stable Ed McCamish, charged with kill
ing Constable Pyle. was ended at Sevhsll
this afternoon, the defendant being held
for trial without bail. Some new and
strong evidence was introduces against
the accused and unless all the testimony
is impesched on the trial in the Superior
Court Mechanism does not stand ghost OF
show for his life
Tne principal witness today was the
prisoner who was brought from the Ven
tura Jail He has been called Madison,
but it is developed that his real name is
John 5. Dennis. He was in the Ventura
Jail serving short term for misdemeanor
when McCamish, suspected OF the murder,
was brought in.
4 CALL reporter who visited the Jail was
the FIRST to tell McCauisE about the dis
covery Of the things that he mad claimed
were stolen, and the information greatly
agitated him Later McCamish talked
with Dennis and. so the witness said, con-
fessed the crime in all its details and
asked for advice as TO what he should do
TO cIear himself. Dennis told him to
claim that job was being put up on him,
and Mechanism acted on tue advice.
Unless Dennis Is proved 10 be colossal
liar, his evidence will hang the accused
man, for his story makes out the deputy
constable TO be cowardly assassin He
says McCamish teId him that he had laid
plans TO iaveigle Pyle to the station and
then shot him while ne lay asleep, as he
had been wanting for some time TO ger
Pyle out Of the way.
McCamish told him that he had bee n
for year past intimate with Pyle's wife,
and that the latter about six months be-
fore had contem plated poisoning her hus-
band Mechanism had not expressed to
his w-prisoner any regret for his act
but said he might have had the job done
for 500 and taken no risk.

said, was never convicted of anything more
