sion. Mr.. Butler of Albany county,

STRONG TESTIMONY
Is GIVEN AGAINST
JESSE WALTERS
1t Is Shown That He Knew Alfred
Cook, His Victim, Was Pass
ing Under an Assumed
Name.

! NAPA, Feb. 2-District Attorney
Bell scored theatrically to-day in the
Mckenzie examination. With little
preliminary preparation he produced
evidence that tended to show that Jesse
Walters, at least, had knowledge of the
fact that Alfred Cook, the man whom
he slew, had assumed a fictitious name
very closely resembling Dorman, the
name under which Cook secured en-
ployment with Mckenzie. Sheriff
Dunlap was on the stand, and, led by
the District Attorney, testified that he
had taken possession of the trousers of
Walters after the latter's arrest and
that in one of the pockets he found a
purse containing a slip of paper on
which was inscribed a series of memo
randa. Among these, and most signi-
ficant of all, was the name, "A. Dor
ran," followed by the address of Cook s
former place of employment in San
Francisco. The reading from the slip
of paper by District Attorney Bell
caused profound sensation.
To-day's attendance showed that in
terest in the case does not flag. The
case was continued until tomorrow
morning, after long argument be-
tween the attorneys as to the admissi-
bility of the testimony of Mckenzie
given before the Coroner's jury, which
the District Attorney sought to intro
duce.
Newton Simpson, the first witness,
testified that he saw Al Dorman, in
company with Mckenzie, walking to-
ward the Central Hotel on the evening
Dorman arrived in Napa Richard
Cuff, proprietor of the Central Hotel,
told of Mckenzie having brought Cook
to his hotel, of Mckenzie introducing
him as AL Dorman on the evening of
Cooks arrival, and arranging for
Cooks board. Ben Swanton was in the
habit of lounging about the Mckenzie
stable On the evening of January /,
the day before the killing of Cook.
Mckenzie suggested that witness and
q number of others who hung about
the stable attend the Buchanan habeas
corpus case on the following morning,
as it would be an interesting proceed
ing. On the morning Of January 5 Nc
Kenzie asked these persons If they
were not going to the Courthouse to
witness the Buchanan proceedings, add
ing that the courtroom would prob
ably be crowded. This was near 10
O'Clock Soon after Mckenzie had
talked to them the party left for the
Courthouse. When the witness left for
the Courthouse Dorman was the only
person besides Mckenzie remaining in
the stable, and was engaged in cleaning
the floor of the carriage department of
the stable.
Miss Coates, a telegraph OPERATOR
testified to the sending of the following
message to Mrs. Maggie Ray of San
Francisco on the evening of Decent Der

ARGUMENT ON TREATY.
IN EXECUTIVE SESSION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The executive
session of the Senate was only a contin-
uation of the legal argument which
started with Senator Spooner's speech
in the open Senate. It grew out Of the
question of Senator Tillman concerning
the status of the Filipinos with refer
ence to citizenship in case the cession of
the Philippine Islands should be ac-
cepted.
Senator Hoar made a set argument,
quoting literally from authorities in sup
port of the contention that they would
become citizens and be entitled TO all the
rights and privileges as such under the
constitution. This view was antagonized
by Senators Teller, Nelson and Platt of
Connecticut. Nelson referred TO the ac-
QUESTION of territory from France and
Spain during the history of the country,
and read from many legal opinions to
were not citizens. Platt made the point
that citizens of Territories were not full
fedged citizens, and Teller contended that
they were not until they were made such
by Congressional enactment.
Senator Davis, in charge of the treaty,
expressed the opinion after the adjourn
ment of the Senate tonight that a vote
would be secured tomorrow on the reso-
lutions pending in the Senate declara-
tory of the countrys future attitude to-
ward the Filipinos in case of the ratifica-
on the Bacon resolution which will prob
ably be voted down. A vote will then be
taken upon a resolution more acceptable
to the majority, probably that offered by
Sullivan, which. ii is expected, will be
adopted.

man, who had worked for him from
November to November 20. 1898. When
Dorman left his employ he went to
Sacramento County. His postoffice ad-
! dress was Ryde.
D. w. Scott, a resident of Walkers
Landing, testified that he is in charge
of a saloon there. He recognized a
photograph of Alfred Cook. Cook had
worked in the vicinity of Walkers
Landing from November, 1897. to Oc-
tober, 1888. when he went to San Fran
cisco. Cook returned to Walkers
Landing November o. 1898. and left for
Napa on December %, 1895 While at
Walkers Landing letters came to Cook
in care of witness. Witness thought
the letters came from Napa. When
Cook left Walkers Landing he told
witness he was going to Napa to work
for Mckenzie in his livery stable. In
der ross-examination the witness said
the letters were addressed to A Dor
man. No names were signed to the let
tiers. They appeared to have been writ
ten by lady. Cook went under the
name Of Dorman while at Walkers
Landing. Witness learned that Dor
mans real name was Cook some time
after Cook first arrived. Cook had a
S-caliber Colts revolver at that time.
Sandlin was recalled. and testified that
Cook owned a revolver. which appeared
to be of 38-caliber. The weapon found
at Cooks side, after he was killed. was
a 32-caliber HOPKINS & Allen revolver.
Sheriff Dunlap testified that in one of
the pockets of Walters trousers he
found a purse containing a scrap Of
paper on one side of which was the fol-
lowing writing: Dorian. A. Dorian.
Walkers Landing, care D. W. Scott,
butcher. Mrs. NJ. Fields, Napa. Mrs.
Kisling, Napa." On the reverse side
appeared the following: Name of
street. A. Dorian, 1907 Devisadero,
room 1905 San F. Left S. F. Saturday,
November 26, 1898, for Walkers Land
ing"
E. P. Lund, a saloon-k keeper, at IS
Fifth street, stated that Cook had
worked for him. The pistol found
near Cook was shown the witness, and
he stated that Cook owned revolver
which was considerably larger than the
one shown him. Cook spoke of having
a lady friend at Napa who had con-
siderable money. Witness thought
Cook was engaged to this lady friend.
Cook had spoken of going into partner
ship with the witness in the saloon
business. and Lund expected that Cook
would get the necessary money from
his lady friend. Cook had informed
the witness that he had left Napa
County because he had been ordered to
leave within twenty four hours by a
Constable or Deputy Sheriff, who
threatened to kill him if he did not
leave.

MRS YOUNG LOCKED
UP TOO SECURELY
Key Broke OF in the Lock and the
Door of Her Cell Cannot Be
Onened

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. Mrs. Augusta
Young is now in a position where the au-
thorities could n release her if they de-
sired. A broken key and a stubborn lock
have imprisoned her so tightly that Sher-
if Taylor was put to considerable trouble
to-day in order to get enough food into
the womans cell to satisfy even her wan
ing appetite.
About s o'clock this morning Under
Sheriff Benson took the fair prisoner her
breakfast. The lock on the cell door is
huge, clumsy affair, and the key has
to be turned by using an iron bar as
lever. On this occasion the key seemed to
turn even harder than usual sudden
wrench broke the key off in such a man
ner that it could not be turned with nip
pers.
A locksmith was sent for and labored
with the refractory lock until late this
evening. He accomplished very lit
tie, and it is probable that tomorrow
sledge-hammer may have to be used in
order to effect an entrance TO the cell.
Mrs Young's physical condition has i'm
proved a great deal in the last two days,
and she is inclined to view the peculiar
situation as a huge joke. Sheriff Taylor
is not inclined to be facetious over the
situation and thinks that a fire might
change Mrs. Youngs opinion.

VERY HEAVY FLOW OF
NATURAL GAS STRUCK
Summerland in Santa Barbara Coun-
ty Shaken by a Violent
Explosion

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. LAST night
shortly after 10 o'clock the small town of
Summerland was aroused by a rafting
sound. Another heavy flow of gas was
struck and with great violence was
throwing small pieces of rock in every
direction. Rocks and portions of the
drilling apparatus were thrown a distance
of several hundred feet. Fortunately
no one was in the immediate vi :
cinity at the time of the explosion. A
piece of scantling 2x4 inches, which was
several feet from the well. was cut in
two by the force of the explosion. The
gas was struck at a depth of 295 feet
while in the explosion of the same nature
which occurred several weeks ago in a
well but a few feet distant gas was struck
at a depth of 80 feet. Much fear is now
felt in boring these wells at such a depth
for no one knows just when an explosion
may occur, and the drilling Of such
necessitates workmen being directly over
the hole.

PASSAGE OF THE RIVER
AND HARB0R BILL
Appropriates Over Thirty Millions
and Meets Slight Opposition
in the House

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE river and
harbor bill carrying slightly more than
$50 900 900 passed the House to-day by a
vote of 16O to T.. This is the largest ma
jority any river and harbor bill ever OBJ
tanned in the House. The bill attracted
little opposition and every effort to amend
it in important particulars failed.
During the consideration of the river
and harbor bill to-day Representative
De Vries offered an amendment extend
ing the application of the $4,000 appropri-
ated for the San Joaquin River and Nor
mon Channel. The amendment was
Representative Barlow also made an
attempt to insert in the bill a clause pro-
viding for the survey of Wilmington Har-
Dor. California, but it was defeated.
Chairman Burton stated to the House
that the improvements on San Pedro
(the inner harbor) would not be completed
for some time and it was hardly neces-
sary for this survey until that work was
finished.
