SCHOEDDE ON TRIAL,

Vic

WI OStttUttD 1dc"ttJafd OF MS <itfeg ed
Vic IN.
SANTA CRUZ. Dec. 14-Charles Harris
testified to-day the trial of NJ. Schoedde
for mayhem. He said he was unable to
positively identify Schoedde as the man
who mutilated him. According to his
recollection the man was large and more
uOrtiy than the prisoner. Harris was un-
able to see the tiend's face while the
crime was being committed.
Witnesses from San Jose testified as to
Schoedde telling them of having per-
formed the operation, and received $500
for t.
Mrs. Plyler is expected to 60 on the
stand tomorrow morning. There i
much curiosity as TO her iestim ony, for
her lips have been sealed ever since the
crime was committed. The main conten-
tion of the defense Will be that Schoedde
was not here when Harris was mutilated
having returned to San Jose, as his ser
vices were not required. The strongest |
evidence against him so far is his own ad-
missions TO the people in San Jose, to
whom he boasted Of his share i'll the
crime.
