justed to the full satisfaction of all con =
cerned. The report was adopted.
Several spirited speeches followed the

ADMITS TIE SHOOTING.
Clara Fallmer's Defense Will
Be Almost Entirely One of
Insanity.
A Bloomer Girl Visits the Prisoner
and Attracts Much
Attention.

The prosecution nearly completed its
case against Clara Fallmer to-day. The
facts, which are very clear, were out
lined by Deputy District Attorney Melvin,
and the witnesses for the State told the
story that has been already printed sew
eral times.
Joe Luaue, barber. repeated his story
OF the murder and attemp pied suicide. He
saw Charles Ladue get off the local train
and meet the girl. A little later he heard
pistol shot, saw Ladue fall and watched
Clara Fallmer turn the pistol on herse If
and fire. Luque said he was about forty
feet away from the tragedy, and when it
occurred he ran into shop.
Frank Thompson was very importa t
witness.
II met Clara at half past II o'clock at
night the Friday before the shooting. ~
said he. 81 asked her where she was 60
ing. and she said that Charlie had prom
lsed to meet her on the II clock train. l
said that he was then on night duly and
couldn't meet her. S said he had agreed
to meet her, and then she said if Charlie
Lauue didn't marry her inside of a few
weeks that l would see some fun. ked
what she meant by fun, and she said she
was going to shoot him. l said, oh, you
wouldn't shoot any body and she said,
You'll see.'"
E. w. CardEet was the first witness for
the defense, and he told of meeting X tty
knight and Clara Falimer in San Fran
cisco. He testified that Clara said if
Ladue ever ''shook her." she would put a
hole through him."
Ms. Ladue. the mother of the dead boy,
testified that her son was only u when he
died. After Mrs. Ladue's brief testimony V
the case was adjourned till next Tuesday
morning.
During the afternoon q boomer girl.
very strikingly dressed, entered the court
room and at once took seat behind the
young murderess. The two girls had con-
siderable conversation during the after
noon
The defense will rely almost entirely on
testimony tending to show that the pris.
oner was insane at the time of the muir
der.

that the light on Cape D.sappoint-

Captain Oliver of the Thetis reported he
was fify-two days from Yokohama. He
