DEFENSE SUBMITS THE CASE
EVIDENTLY A TRAP TO SHUT
 OUT DELMAS.
The Latter Wishes to Be Heard, but Rea's Counsel Vigorously Pro- test-Matter Taken Under
 Advisement.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 SAN JOSE, Oct. 18.-The opening argument in the Jarman-Rea slander suit was made to-day by Attorney A. H. Jarman, son of the plaintiff. He occupied the entire day. The facts or the case were gone over and Rea was referred to as a ''pureminded, hlgh- souled" person, interested in the vel fare of the city. who stopped at nothing crooked to attain his end. Rea's testf- mony was reviewed and the boss falla- cies pointed out. Jarman finished few minutes before adjournment.
 Judge Kittredge then asked Attorneys Warehouse and Burchard if they wished to begin argument. The defendants at tOrneys stated that they would submit their case without argument.
 DelmaS then wished to make sup plemental opening argument. This was objected to on the ground that pla1nt- iff's attorney had completed his open ing statement Delmas cited authority to sustain him, and Judge Kittredge took the matter under adViSement until the opening of court in the morning. It was evidently trap set by Rea's attorneys, but Delmas refused to fall into it. By refusing to answer Jar mans argument Rea's counsel ex- pected to shut out argument by Del mas. If the court allows Delmas to pro- ceed tomorrow defendants attorneys will probably want to respond. The case will go to the jury some time this Uoak

GRAPE BUYERS IN TROUBLE. Gambitz 6 Dolheguy Call a Meeting
 of Creditors.

Gambitz & Dolheguy, the produce con- mission merchants of 216 Washington street, have called a meeting of their creditors for Friday. The firm has been purchasing grapes round Geyserville, and owing to a combination of circumstances finds it difficult to fulfill its obligations immediately.
 HEALDSBURG, Oct. 1S-Gambitz & Dolheguy began their operations in Cloverdale just before the season opened by contracting for grapes at $S and $9 de- livered on the cars, cash in ten days. They made purchases from Windsor to Clover dale, but the bulk of their grapes were secured at Geyserville. Some of those who sold to them became uneasy at delayed payments and one leading grape-grower San Francisco to look into the matter. The result of this precaution saved him. for he disposed of the balance of his crop to a Healdsburg winery.
 A representative of a grape grower here returned from San Francisco yesterday after Interviewing Gambitz & Dolheguy, and will be present at meeting Of the creditors of the firm at San Francisco on Friday next While there will be many sufferers in this part of Sonoma County from the operations of the firm, there are those well informed in the grape and wine industry who maintain that Gam bitz & Dolheguy have been blessing. to the grape-growers of the. county on the whole as they started the price at a good figure, and 1t is maintained that had they not come into the field grapes would have sold at much lower price compared to the good price received. The loss sus. ined in few localities IS fn- significant.

ARGUMENT IS CONCLUDED.
A Decision in the Botkin Extradition
 Matter Will Be Handed Down
)n Saturday

Whether or not Mrs. Cordelia Botkin will be extradited to Delaware to stand trial for the alleged poisoning of Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane will be decided next Saturday. When the hearing of ar gument was resumed yesterday morning, Attorney Frank McGowan proceeded to make the concluding argument on behalf of the accused. MT. McGowan confined his argument to a repetition of the theo- ries advanced by associate counsel, George A. Knight. He also Insisted that the "constructive presence of the prisoner in Delaware was all very well in theory but did not exist In law.
 Taken altogether the proceedings amounted to little more than a reitera- tion of the proceedings before Governor Budd a short time ago, In which counsel for the accused had all the best of the matter. When MT. McGowan concluded his argument the case was submitted and viii be decided on Saturday.
 STOCKTON, Oct. 1S.-W. A. Botkin of this city, husband of Mrs. Cordelia Bot kin, is much chagrined over the action of Governor Budd in signing extradition war rant, after what he had previously stated in the matter. ''I do not believe that they will get my wife back to Delaware, said he to-day 'but If they decide to extra dite her, she might just as we'll be hanged at once, for feeling overrides all justice there in this case. The people of that State want some one to pay the penalty for the crime committed and whoever might be taken back there will be con- Yicted beyond doubt"
