Scene at Opening of
Murder Trial.
LOUIS MILE ON THE STAND
DIR. ZABALA'S ABSENCE CAUSES
AN ADJOURNMENT.
Special Counsel for the People Says
That He Will Show That Jeal-
ousy Was Responsible
for the Tragedy.

George L. Tanner. who shot and killed
James Brown and Fannie Barnes on
August 20 last in little lodging house at
SOB Folsom street, experienced various
emotions during the short time he was
on trial for murder before Judge Dunno
yesterday morning. The trial opened
shortly after 10 o'clock. George w. Rus
sell had taken the stand and pointed out
the various important points on the dia-
gram he had drawn OF the scene Of the
tragedy. Tanner sat rubbing his hands
nervously together, intently watching the
first witness against him, Louis Mile,
when a scream behind him started him
from his chair. Miss Brown, a daughter
of the murdered man, anxious to see that
her loss through her fathers murder was
avenged, had come into court, but the
strain proved too great for her nerves
and she swooned away.
The bailiff hurried TO her assistance and
just as he reached her she apparent
ly went into convulsions. Several men as
sisted in removing her 10 the adjoining
chamber and a physician was summoned
from the Receiving Hospital. Remedies
were administered and in a short time
she was able to be removed to her home.
The excitement occasioned by the scene
did not subside for some time. Finally,
however. the examination Of the witness
continued. He was the keeper of the
house in which the tragedy was on
acted. but an objection made by the de-
fense prevented him from telling the
story Of the crime.
DR.. Zabala, autopsy physician of the
Morgue, was not present, and the defense
contended that as the corpus delecti had
not been established the testimony of the
witness was incompetent. The objection
was sustained and the witness left the
stand. DIR. Zabala will testify as TO the
death of the murdered man and woman
to-day and give evidence as to the cause
thereof, after which the trial will proceed
with Mile on the stand.
j. n. Il. Wilson appeared as special
counsel for the prosecution. and said that
he would show that the murder was ac-
tuated by jealousy and that the accused.
who is an old man. moved next door to
the place occupied by his victims with the
sole intention Of numbering them.

THINKS DODGE SHOULD PAY.
Julius Saulman Protests the Paying
of Salaries by the City to Poll
Tax Collectors

Mayor Phelan is in receipt of COM
munication from julius Saulman, where
in the latter calls the Mayors attention
to what he terms a misappropriation Of
the city's finances and the depicting of
the treasury by the unwarranted and IL
legal methous of Assessor Dodge and
asks that the Mayor investigate the
charges and call a halt TO a practice that
has already cost the city many thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Saulman more specifically charges
that Assessor Dodge has in his employ
several deputies whose duties consist sole
ly of collecting poll tax and that their
salaries are paid out of the citys general
fund; that while the Assessor receives Is
per cent OF the entire amount of poll tax
so collected he pays nothing for the col
lection of the same and the entire ex-
pense Is borne by the city.
At this time Of the year when but few
poll tax receipts are sold II often happens
that the deputy collects less money during
the month than the amount which the
city pays him as a salary and 10 per cent
of the collections is withheld as the As
SCISSORS commission. making the city
poorer than II would have been had no
deputy been employed. Mayor Phelan
has promised 10 look into the matter.
