FELL into BOILING GLASS.
Spectators of Ball Game Through
Roof of Glass Works.
NEARLY A HUNDRED VICTIMS.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-As a result
ever occurred in San Francisco, ten
people were killed and more than
eighty badly injured by the collapse of
the roof of the Pacific glass works on
Fifteenth street About seventy-fve
people fell through the roof upon the
red hot furnaces and glass watts below.
All were badly burned and it is feared
that in addition to the ten deaths
reported there will be several more.
Two hundred people, all men and
boys, had gathered upon the sheet
iron roof of the glass works to obtain
free view of the annual football game
between Stanford and the University
of California About two minutes
after the game had commenced there
was crash, plainly audible from the
football grounds, and q portion of the
crowd on the roof went down to a
horrible death below.
The fires in the furnaces had been
started for the first time and the watts

these that the victims fell. Some were
killed instantly and others were slowly
roasted to death. The few who missed
the furnaces or rolled off, together
with the workmen in the glass works,
saved the lives of many who lay un-
conscious by pulling them away from
their horrible resting place.
The roof of the glass works was not
200 feet away from the football field,
but the 10000 people watching the
game were too intent upon the contest
to notice what had occurred. It was
only when the ushers went through
the vast crowd calling for doctors that
it became known there had been an
accident.
Eighty-two persons, more or less in
jured, have been taken to the various
hospitals or removed to their homes.
Most of those killed or injured were
boys between 9 and 16 years of age.
Nearly all of the victims had their
skulls fractured or limbs broken and
sustained serious internal injuries.
The portion of the roof which col
lapsed was merely the covering over
ventilator bars and was not construct.

MORRISON CASE Stated
To The Jury By Attorneys Defense
Will Show Self Defense.
MRS. CASTLE BEGUN FIGHT.

FL Dorado, Dec. 3.-County Attorney
Brumbach opened the trial of Miss
Morrison for the murder of Mrs. Castle
with: ''We expect the evidence to
show that Jessie Morrison left her home
early in the morning and went by a
circuitous route and stopped at the
home of Mrs. Davis, and then left by a
circuitous route to the home of Mrs.
Castle. Went there, as we expect to
prove, with the express purpose of
killing Clara Wiley Castle. We expect
to show that the defendant went to
that house with the premeditated pur-
pose of killing Mrs Castle. We expect
to show that the wounds on the neck
and body of Mrs. Castle inflicted by
the defendant caused the death of Mrs.
Castle.
1.-THE motive which actuated the de-
PENDANT in the crime will be plainly
discoverable from the evidence in this
case.
1.-The cause was anger, passion and
jealousy against Mrs. Castle and her
husband, G. o. CASTLE
Mr.. Kraemer, attorney for the de-
tense, said to the jury: 1.-THE evidence
will show that Jesse Morrison and Olin
Castle had clerked in the Racket store.
That he had paid attentions to her,
took her buggy riding, wrote letters as
young people do. In December, 1898,
DIN Castle was engaged to Clara
Wiley but he continued his relations
with Jesse Morrison up to few weeks
before marriage. In January the de-
PENDANT went to Excelsior Springs, near
Kansas City, and even then the letters
passed between the two In all the
conversation there was never a word
from the defendant that Clara Wiley
was not nice girl, but instead said
that Clara Wiley was friend of hers.
From the evidence we expect to show
that Clara Wiley became very jealous
of Jessie Morrison.
1.-THE evidence will show that Miss
Morrison went to friend to secure a
pattern for collar. After looking
over the samples, etc, she started
home. While passing the Castle house
she heard Mrs. Castle say: Jessie, come
in, want to talk to YOU Jessie Nor
rison went in and Mrs. Castle locked
the screen door,. Jessie sat on the sofa
and Mrs. Castle accused her of trying
to take Olin away from her. She
accused her of writing notes to Olin
and trying to get him to meet her at
night.
Finally Mrs. Castle got in a frenzy,
and called Jessie Morrison liar and
Jessie Morrison showed Mrs Castle
away. Jessie Morrison dropped her
handkerchief and it was then that Mrs.
Castle got the razor and struck at
Jessie. Miss Morrison screamed and
then she tried to get that razor. Her
hands were cut and she was wounded.
She tried to preserve herself. And
when people entered the room she
said: L had to do it; she tried to kill
me. The evidence will show that
when she entered that house she had
no idea of violence, and the fact that
Jessie is alive is due to the fact that
Jessie wore a high collar which shield
ed her neck"
The taking of evidence in the case
was then commenced.
