Louisa Verdugo, the daughter of the pre-
ceding witness, whose home is at Verdugo,
said she was at her mothers house on the
day in question and saw the defendant
there.
"His trousers were torn below the knees
in several places, and l stitched them up, -
said the witness. "Ie was there to dinner
as well as breakfast, and after dinner he
went to the water closet. l think this was
Thursday. On that same night, after he
had gone, l learned of the murder. The
newspaper carrier brought us the news"
Frank E. Davis, the deputy sheriff, who
discovered the body at the same time
johnson was crawling around in the dark
under Joe Hunters house, next took the
stand and rehearsed the grewsome expert
ences of that day. He explained graphically
how they worked their way along through
the narrow space under the floor, and the
stencil which guided them in their search
for the dead body. His evidence was fully
corroborative of that given by johnson.
Mr. Davis also testified to the fact that the
bed, having been moved from its accustomed
place in the corner, had exposed the place
in the mating from which the two pieces
had been cut and told of the stains on the
floor made, as the prosecution expects to
prove, with the life-blood of the dead China
man. No other witnesses were examined,

truck and another wagon got in his way.
He said that Finley had fallen from the bicy-
Gle in front of his wagon, and had he not
turned the mules aside the vehicle would
have passed over Finley. Scoriano did all
in his power for the injured man, and even
offered to buy him whisky, which Finley re.
fused. As the affair was evidently an acci-
dent, the defendant was discharged
An amusing occurrence took place as the
result Of this case, which proved the indie
fatigability of Deputy Constable Mugnemi.
Some time ago Jose Mascarel sued a man
named Pietro Scianbra for back rent, and se-
cured a judgment for $25. This was placed
in the hands of Mugnemi for collection.
When Scoriano was arrested, Scianbra went
on his bond, .depositing $50 cash bail with
Clerk Kinsey in Justice Owens court Mug.
nemi heard of this transaction and at the
trial of Scoriano was much in evidence,
awaiting an opportunity of getting piece Of
discharged Kinsey counted out the bail
money and laid it on the desk in front Of
Scianbra. Before the latter could possess
himself Of the cash, Mugnemi had stepped
in and attached $25 which was due him on
the Judgment. In vain Scianbra swore and
swore. Mugnemi refused to relinauish the
money, and the Italian left the court room
vowing vengeance by suing Clerk Kinsey.

BEEsoN's BICYCLE
It Caused the Rightful Owner Consid
erable Trouble

George Beeson, colored, was found guilty
of petty larceny by Justice Owens yesterday
and will be sentenced tomorrow. About
six weeks ago Beeson stole bicycle belong
ing to colored boy named Alec McLain.
Beeson took the wheel to the Ganahl Lum:
ber company and there offered to dispose Of
it. Joseph L. Schallert, the foreman, bought
the bicycle for 49,. McLain had in the mean
while reported his loss to the police officers,
and was also keeping a lookout for his wheel.
Schallert rode the bicycle up the street
one day and left it leaning against the curb
stone. McLain happened to come along,
and recognizing the wheel promptly took it
an and reported it's recovery to the police: lice,
a bicycle if it could be prevented, so he hied
himself to the police station and reported
that his wheel had been stolen. As the
rightful owner had taken the wheel, the
officers did ,n,ot.nqke any attempt to recover
it for Schallert. but contented themselves
with searching for the thief. who proved to
be Beeson. Beeson denied the impeach-
ment, but he was identified by the men at
tn Ganahl Lumber company, SO his alibi fell
to the ground.

whether II be an honest calm or . vile de-
ceiver, and one that bodies . storm, is
greatly puzzling the understanding Of the

and speculation are now Of door knob
size and daily growing bigger.
Interest In the war dispatches is be-
coming less keen. and the first question
over the fence before breakfast is, "who's
q runnin' ?" Don't know, but I heard
whss-you.msy-call-um wants 70 run, but
he's got too many teachers in his family.
and fears the people might think he wants
10 COLOMBO the school, so he's going 70 get
his friend Jinks TO stand In for trustee"
Meanwhile, the smooth boy who is really
going 10 run is playing cross-tag with his
own shadow and Is as hard TO put . finger
on as . Josh Billings flea. We frankly
confess our utter inability TO discover who
is going to run or be run. and We are as
mad as the rest Of the women folk about
