AFTERNOON SESSION
When court convened in the afternoon
the room was packed more densely than at
any time before since the trial began.
| At 2 o'clock young Clark resumed the
stand for further interrogation by Mr. Nc
Ccmas. He said he had not used razor to
| shave himself since he came to California
| He did not cut the CARPET. Mr..
| Hunter had some things in the bureau in his
| room and might have had a razor there for
| aught he knew, but if so he had not used it
to cut the carpet.
| When at Hoffman's saloon the defendant
said he had glass of beer before the Off
GERS arrived, and then he went into the par
the sheriff, but had no recollection of talk
/! ing while there that morning with Joe about
the missing Chinaman.
McComas-Dd you sleep between sheets
when at Joe Hunters?
Clark-Yes, sir.
McComas-Did you notice Tuesday night
| that there were no sheets on your bed?
Clark-No, sir.
McComas-What became of them!
Clark don't know
McComas-You tried to get out of the
buggy at Al Barrels?
Clark-Yes, sir.
McComas-Why didn't you get out!
| Clark-Aguirre took me by the arm and
| told me to stay there, and so made no
further effort to get out.
| McComas-How do you usually get out of
wagon?
Clark put my foot first on the step and
then step out to the ground. (Laughter.)
| McComas-How far out did you get?
| Clark put my foot on the step, and
then took it back when the officer told me
not to get out.
Mr.: Shinn-Did any one ask you about
the sheets that morning?
Clark-No, sir.
This concluded the examination of the
defendant.
THAT SACK OF EXHIBITS
| Sheriff Burr was next called and testified
| that he had examined the sack of exhibits,
and that there were two sheets in it when
he saw 1T. Being asked to pick them out,
he found only one there.
Mr.. McComas informed Mr.. Shinn that
he could yet some information from Mr..
Regue regarding what had become Of the
other sheet, but Mr.. Shinn objected to the
remarks of the district attorney in the
presence of the jury. McComas said he
should have Mr.. Begue on the stand later
to tell what became of the missing sheet, and
at his request the sack of CORY relics was left
, exposed in the court room, from which a
highly offensive odor assembled to high
heaven.
Mr.. ,Aguirre was next called and could not
tell what was done with the missing sheet
MIR. Clement was called, and Mr.. McComas
stipulated that Clement would say the same
thing, but the defense preferred to get at his
evidence in its own way, and Clement came
forward. He said he saw the sheets when
unwound from the Chinaman's head. There
were. two Of them. He did not know what
had any one told him.
AT this point the defense rested its case.
REBUTTAL EVIDENCE
Mr.. Regue was called by the prosecution
and said he was the officer who arrested the
defendant. A Jumper was selected from
the sack of exhibits and displayed by Mr.
McComas. He asked the witness if he rec
ognized the garment, and, if so, to state
where. it came from. The question was adj
mitted over the objection of defendant
Witness replied:
Harry Clark had on just such Jumper
when ! arrested him. These pants I cannot
recognize, they are SO moth-eaten. The
shoes are the ones Harry Clark had on when
l arrested him."
McComas-Do you recognize the sheet!
Begue-Yes, sir.
| McComas-Where did it come from?
Begue-It was around the Chinaman's
head when helped to drag the body out
from under the house.
The Court-How many sheets were there
around his head?
Begue-There was only one sheet. That
is all I saw.
Mr.. Shinn-You didn't stop long, but took
one Whit and left?
| Begue--1 stopped long enough to see the
| sheet SO that ! recognize it now
| Shinn-You are delicate sort of a per-
son and your stomach is readily turned, ism t
/ it?
Begue-Yes, sir.
