BOTH SIDES CHARGE Perjury
Examination of Two Stockton At
fOrnevS

STOCKTON, Jan. 22.-Justice Par
ker's courtroom was packed with people
this afternoon to hear the testimony in
the case of Attorneys Carpenter and
Flack and a brother of the latter.
charged with grand larceny.
The case has excited more than usual
interest here, owing to the fact that the
defendants are reputable citizens. 1t is
alleged that they entered q store con-
tanning goods which had been the prop
erty of Chinaman, but had been sold
at auction by order of court. The store
contained other goods which had been
moved in after the auction sale, but
prior to the expiration of Go Sans
lease.
The prosecution has about fifteen wit
nesses TO place on the stand, and the
defense nearly as many more. Only
three witnesses were examined to-day,
and both sides are charging perjury. The
case bids fair 10 be one of the most
stubbornly contested ever begun in San
Joaquin County.
The examination was continued until
next Wednesday.

BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
Ives and Schaefer Are Tied foI
First and Second Money.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The schedule of
the 1S-inch balk line tournament was
completed to-day, and Ives and Schaefer
are tied for first and second money. The
Wizard was too much for the great
young Napoleon, and won to-night's S
game by a score of 400 to 31S. The fin
ish was heartbreaker and but for an
unfortunate kiss that caused the balls
to line up for Ives, the result would
probably have been reversed, as he was
in good stroke and had the balls in good
position. The cheering when Jake made
his final shot was deafening and long
continued.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the tie will be played off or the two
moneys divided. Score:

The prize money for the tournament
was made up of $1,750, put up by the

S100 entrance money from each of the
five contestants, and the net gate re-
ceipts. This was to be divided into
four prizes. of 40, 80, 20 and 10 per

MURDER OF WILLIAM CLARK.
Revolving Testimony at the Cor
oner's Iuuuest

ST. HELENA, Jan. 22.-The Coro-
ner's jury at the inquest in the mat
ter of the Clark murder had no doubt
as to the identity of the assassin, and
promptly brought in a verdict that
William Anderson Clark had died at
hands of his brother, George w. Clark.
The evidence adduced was highly SEN
Sational. Mrs. Clark, wife Of the MUIR
dered man, who was on the stand for
three hours, said she was married in
the East twenty-one years ago, and
her husband coming to California she
followed some time later, making the
journey in company with George Clark.
She admitted having sustained relations
of criminal intimacy with her hus-
bands brother, stating that the sus-
pected murderer was the father of one
of her children, and adding that he
had recently asked her to marry him
several times, provided William was
out of the way.
Fearing exposure of her guilty secret,
Mrs. Clark testified that she assented
to this, and admitted that when her
brother-in-law went to Napa ten days
ago she knew his purpose was to buy
a pistol with which to kill her husband.
Several witnesses testified that both
Mrs. Clark and George Clark are reli
gious fanatics; that they had belonged
to many different sects, never remain
ing long connected with any one denom-
ination.
DR. Osborne testified that William
Clark was dead when he arrived in re-
sponse to the summons, and that Mrs.
Clark then said at once that George
Clark was the murderer. George Dax
testified that on several occasions w.
A. Clark had ordered his brother out
of the house, merely saying in explain
alton, George knows the reason"
