GATHERING THE EVIDENCE
BOTH SIDES ARE PREPARING
FOR THE STRUGGLE.
Mrs. Cook Orders Two New Gowns
in Which to Appear at the
Coming Murder
Trial. -
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NAPA, Jan. 19.-Every energy Is be-
ing put forth by prosecution and de-
tense in the cases of Jesse Walters and
ex-Sheriff Mckenzie, charged with the
murder of Alfred Cook, in preparation
Tor the preliminary hearing, which will
be held next week.
1t was expected that the arraignment
OF the accused would take place and
the date for the preliminary examina-
ton be set before Justice Bradford to-
day, but these proceedings had to be
deferred owing to the absence Of
Attorney Beerstecher of the defense.
He is in San Francisco gathering evil
dence for his client. District ATTORNEY
Bell and Deputy Sheriff Daily went to
san Francisco Tuesda~ in connection
with the case, and Bell returned yes
terday, but left his companion in the
metropolis. The arraignment is set for
tomorrow morning.
The case promises to develop one of
the keenest legal combats ever wit
messed IN the Superior Court of Napa
County. Nerved by the intense public
sentiment that was aroused by the sup
posed wanton killing, the District At
torney is using every aid within his
power to obtain evidence, and is him
self personally active in the matter.
No less a degree of determination and
energy is being exhibited by the de-
Tense.
One significant point brought out in
the Coroner's inquest by the testimony
of Fred Jacks was that the first two
shots were considerably louder than
some Of those that followed. the infer
ence being that they came from Wal
ters' 44-caliber, and not from Cook S
little 32-caliber revolver, and that Wal
tiers was the aggressor.
1t is now claimed by the defense that
this testimony and the inference there
from will be demolished. 1t is asserted
that Walters cartridges were loaded
with smokeless powder and Cooks with
ordinary black powder, and that the
latter's pistol, therefore. made the loud
er report, particularly as it was fired in
the confined space of the box STALL The
prosecution proposes to make actual
tests before the trial.
The statement of Attorney Johnston.
published in The Call excited con-
siderable comment, and is interpret
ed as meaning that Mrs. Walters will
stand with the prosecution. at least in
the proceedings against Mckenzie. She
is said to have ordered two new gowns
for her public appearance on the wit
ness stand

Cramer Against Creed.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 19.-Another in
stallment of the dubious political methods
in vogue in the southern part of Marin
County was furnished the public to-day
by a continuance in the Superior Court
of the suit of Eugene Cramer to dispos-
sess John E. Greed from the office of Con-
stable of Sausalito Township to which
he was lately elected, or rather, declared
elected by the Election Board.
1t has been shown that, while the cleo
ton proclamation called for two Consta-
bles for Sausalito Township and the bal
lots specified that electors should vote for
two, the Board of Election and the Board
of Judges did politics" to the extent of
instructing voters to mark their ballots
for only one.

NEW YORK's INVESTIGATORS.
Richard Croker VIII Be a Witness O
Friday Next.

Richard Croker VIII Be n Witness on
Friday Next.
New York, April 11.-Only two wit
nesses of any Importance were put on
the stand before the Mazet legislative
investigating committee yesterday
Frank Croker, son of Richard Croker,
was on the stand all morning. He tes-
titled that he had paid SIT 900 to enter
the ROeblfng Fire Proof company, and
was drawing a salary of $1,000 from ii
to learn the business. Young Croker
said he had first given for his 10
shares of stock a check for the amount
mentioned, but when asked If he would
produce the cancelled check he grave
fully worked into an admission that
the stock was paid for in cash fur
nished by his father. He said he had
got the money in big rolls from his
father in the Democratic club, and he
took the money to his house and kept
it in his room all night. He told Of
having been presented with $4,000
worth of stock in the United COM
pany, because" he said, they knew
we had lots of friends in railroads and
such places"
Chief of Police William S. Devery
was again put upon the rack after
Frank Croker had given his testimony.
Much of the questioning of the police
captain was similar W that of Satur-
day, when he was asked to explain for
the eXistance of many disorderly re-
sorts in the city that flourish at all
hours of the night. Devery said that
the police department had done all ii
could do, with the evidence it had be-
fore it, to close such places. Devery
denied that he knew of any high Of
fetal of the city who was interested
in pool rooms.
During the progress Of the session DR.
O'Sullivan said to the committee.
Mr.. Richard Croker desires me to say
that he will be at the disposal of thii
investigating committee at any time VI
to April is. wnen he is to sail fol
| Europe"
Mr.. Moss evidently took this for ;
challenge, and he promptly informed
DR.. O'Sullivan that Mr.. Croker's pres
ence was desired at the very next meet
ing of the committee, which will b,
next Friday.
