daughter, Mrs. Rosa Rogers, had been with
Williams when the attack was made.
Lotus Rogers, daughter of Mrs. Rosa
Rogers and a granddaughter of Casebeer,
testified against the old gentleman and con-
tributed her part toward establishing an
alib for Williams. The defendant took the
stand, but, strange to relate, he did not
have such a remarkable memory for details
as the other members of his family showed
during their examinations He had not
heard the hack containing Casebeer drive
up; had not heard anybody knock at the
door; had gone away some time after 10
o'clock. he did not exactly know when, and
had walked to the home of Mrs. Mary Rog-
ers on State street, where he passed the
night. Williams became very nervous under
the crossexamination of Mr.. Shinn, and
hesitated continually in his statements
When hard pressed the witness could
scarcely remembeA much of anything except
that he did not remember. He knew moth
ing about the presence of Casebeer, had not
received the letter from Casebeer and was
positive on the point of his alibi
This closed the case for the defense, and
then the court asked if night session
could not be held in order to finish the case
Mr.. Hunsaker could not attend, so it was
decided to call the examination at o'clock
this morning.

HAS A BAD MEMORY
WILLIAMS DOES NOT RECoLLECT
ASSAULTS UPON CASEBEER
BUT HIS WIFE IS ALL RIGHT
Testimony to Establish an Alibi fol-
Defendant-Bruce Doesn't Like
His Father a Little Bit

The closing testimony of the preliminary
examination of Isaac B. Williams, charged
with assault to kill j. w. Casebeer, his
father-in-law, will probably be heard i'll
Justice Morrison's court today. The de-
fense closed its presentation yesterday and
Mr.. Shinn, for the prosecution, will exam
inc several witnesses this morning, and then,
unless the attorneys decide to argue, the
case will go to the court.
At the session yesterday, Mrs. Williams,
wife of the defendant, was cross-examined
by Shinn, but she stuck to her original story
told the day previous. She remembered all
the various details of the evening on which
her father alleges he was assaulted by Will
iams, and she helped to establish an alibi
for her husband.
Bruce Casebeer, a son of the complaining
witness, was then put upon the stand, and
testified over the objection of the prosecu-
ton, that some time prior to the alleged
assault his father had told HIM in Santa
Barbara that Williams and his wife should
never get a cent out of him in the suit that
they had commenced, and that before they
should do so he would shoot Ben's CUTS
out and put Kit (the daughter) in the pen
itentiary" Casebeer further testified that
he had gone to Santa Barbara at his father
request, to help settle up the trouble with
Williams and his wife, and that he paid his
expenses one way. He explained thatwhile
not having been regularly subpoenaed in the
case as witness it was nevertheless at a
telephone request of the sheriff sent to him
in San Diego county that he was now pres
ent.
The young man denied, on cross examina-
ton, that he had cursed his father at the
time of his Santa Barbara visit, although
he became exercised at the way in which
his father spoke of Mrs. Williams, and he
told him, when he became boisterous and
profane, to sit down and behave himself,
which Casebeer did. He had advised his
father to settle the many suits he had with
the defendant and his wife, although not
particularly interested in them. What he
was looking out for more particularly was
the settlement of an action of his mother
against the old man. Witness admitted hav
ing called his father liar to his face several
times ON that evening.
Bruce admitted that he did not like his
father and that his sympathies were with
the other branch of the family. He said
that he had called upon Casebeer after the
last alleged attack upon him and asked the
old man if he was perpetrating another OF
his cold jokes"
Mrs. Gregg testified to a conversation she
had held with Casebeer, in which he said
that he thought Miss Williams, the sister OF
his sonin-law, had aided Williams in his
assault. This was in direct contradiction
with the statements later made by Case
beer, who claimed that he thought his

SCHOOL NOTES
Of Interest to Parents, Pedagogues
and Pupils

The committee on music for the musical
festival of the Southern California Teach
ers' association, to be held in this city next
April, the plans for which are fully set
forth in the Proceedings of the Assoca-
ton" just published, and to which the
members of the association pledged them
selves, has decided on the program, in so
far as it relates to teachers who are to
take part in the massed chorus work. The
compositions selected are Mae Farren's can
tata, May Day." "Hallelujah" chorus from
"The Mount of Olives" by Beethoven, and
the part songs, Hatton's "He That Hath a
Pleasant Face" and Brahms 'In Silent
Night" The full program will include, be-
sides the part songs, three orchestral selec.
tions, a chorus number each for male and
female voices by the Los Angeles chorus
and several vocal solos.
Special arrangements have been made
with the Fitzgerald Music company where

erwise, will be supplied with these mum.
bers at total cost of So cents, and the
teachers entering the chorus will be under
no other expense.
The plan to be carried out by the COM
mittee looks to the formation in every
hamlet, town or city of Southern Califor
MIA of a quartet, octette or larger combna-
tion of voices properly balanced for part
singing. Where the singers have procured
their music Harley Hamilton, the musical
director of the festival, will furnish the
metronomic designations for each number
and several rehearsals will be held before
the concert by Mr.. Hamilton or his repre-
sentative in each place where an auxiliary
chorus has been formed, and a final rehear-
sal will be held in this city. 1t is in contem-
plation to have the program of the festi-
val repeated before the National Educa-
tional association if that body concludes to
meet in this city.
Thanksgiving exercises will be held in the

THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION
Woven Art of the Orient-A Fine
Display

Last evening a reception was given to
the press to view the exhibit of the Phil
lips collection of Oriental rugs, carpets,
curtains, embroideries, hangings, etc, at
25l South Broadway, in the Byrne block.
The collection is to be on exhibition TO
the public today and tomorrow. and will
be sold at auction, commencing next Mon
day morning, November 21st.
1t is really impossible to describe in this
short space the beautiful sight one sees
upon entering the door. One is reminded
of the great art galleries at the Word S
fair, where art was exhibited for arts sake
only. Mr. George II. Weigert, who last
winter sold here the Grossbaum collection
of ceramics and also the Ferris collection
of rugs, has been entrusted with this COL
lection to dispose of. He intends selling
every article at auction to the highest bid
der, without any subterfuge. Those who
attended his sales last winter will no doubt
be very glad to know he is again here with
collection to be sold under the same con-
ditions.
The Ferris collection was very beautiful
but that sustains the same relation to this
exhibit as the oak to the forest. This is
without doubt the finest array of textile art
ever shown under one roof. Every point
of the Orient, famous for fine rugs Is here
represented. Every piece is work of art,
the gorgeous colorings are blended into one
beautiful whole that delight the eye.
Mr.. Weigert desires it understood that a
visit to the exhibit or sale incurs no obli-
gator to buy. Furthermore, he says that
during the two days of exhibition any one
interested in any special article can have
it sent home, so that an intending pur-
chaser can see how it will look in the
house. Mr.. Weigert says If the results of
this sale warrants 1t, he will bring here a
magnificent collection of paintings next
year.
Don't fail to see this exhibition, even If
you do not attend the sale, for 1t is GER
tainly a most fascinating, interesting and
instructive display. Be sure to see number
4422 of the catalogue, which is Pushmna
carpet; also number 232, a Bokhara carpet
13 feet inches long. In fact, every piece
In the collection has merit.

A DAMAGE SUIT
Priore's Claim Against Squire for
False Arrest

The damage suit instituted by Frank
Priore against W. S. Squire was on trial yes.
terday before Judge Allen and jury. In his
complaint Priore asks for $4,000 damages on
account OF having been charged in com
plant by Squire with the crime of grand
larceny in that he had feloniously converted
eighteen poplar and forty blue gum trees,
growing upon defendants land, into per-
sonal property with the intention of steal
ing it, the same being worth 500.
The publicity resulting from such accusa-
ton. the complaint in support of which was
dismissed by the justice of the peace ulti
mately as without merit, the plaintiff claims
did him great injury. The defendant denies
any wrongful intent, and in his answer sets
up general denial of the allegations of the
complaint, save the facts of the arrest and
subsequent discharge of Priore on his COM
plant. The trial will be resumed today.
Priore was Squire's tenant on eight acres
at Fruitland, but left on account of dis
agreement before the expiration of his lease
