In the audience were many young
women, including about a dozen OF this

About dozen members OF the w. q. Il
U. OF Auburn were present. This organi-
cation has taken up Miss Whitney's case
and they were there IL was said to see
that she had fair play.
1t should be said In justice to the county
authorities that the case probably would
never have been tried had it not been for
the fact that so much had been said ana
printed about 10 that 1t was thought best
to have the public enlightened on it as
far as possible. An interesting feature
was the introduction on the stand Of half
dozen girls In short dresses who were
called to testify that they danced with
the respondents, when they were sup
posed to be tying Miss whitney. AL
we're rather pretty, one being especially
so. but they were certainly very young to
be requentinR a place Of the character
the Sabatis dance hall seems to be.
Several Of these young women had been
summoned by the state, but before the
hearing they decided that some OF the
stories they had been telling the Off GERS
and newspapers in corroboration OF Miss
Whitney's story were untrue They ad.
mitted this and were therefore called by
the defense.
The prisoners had been previously ar.
raigned SO as soon as court opened At
torney SHELTON opened his case. he told
the familiar story of Miss Whitney's visit
to the Sabatis dance, and what she says
happened TO her there.
Miss Whitney was the first witness to
take the stand. Like her frisnds who ap-
peared subsequently she wore short
dresses and appars no older than she says
she is. she must have been very pretty
once, and is now for that matter, but her
recent experiences have given her a
dragged out appearance which makes her
face almost pathetic. She was frequently
interrupted by violent fits of coughing
and recess had to be taken several times
to snable her to recover. This is what
she said:

San Francisco, November S0.-Four
persons injured In the glass works acci-

the total number OF dead seventeen. Sew

the morgue today th ere have been crowds
of anxious inquirers, relatives and friends
of those who are known to have been
victims Of the accident. The dead have
all been identified.
Robert Harrison, one of the dead, was
the son of Thomas A. Harrison a promi-
ent attorney of Topeka, Kas. He ran
away from home with boy companion.
Cornelius MoMahon, aged 12 years,
