TRIAL OF DENVER'S
JESSE JAMES GANG

Denver. Oct. 26.-The trial of Casey
Gaul, Roy, Charles and George Brune
all boys of tender years, accused of
having murdered young Homer Rea-
hard during August last, is before Il
jury in the criminal court. The case
presents some of the most remarkable
circumstances in the history of Grimm
nj Jurisprudence, and If the allegations
of the prosecution are fulfilled, sensa-
tional developments outrivaling those
that followed the killing of young Rea-
hard may be looked for.
The contention of the prosecution is
that the boys now facing the jury are
members of an organization of young
sters banded together for the purpose
of emplating in small way the deeds
of dime novel heroes.
The proceedings Thursday were con-
fined to the work of impanelng jury
and only one witness, the father of the
victim of the alleged murder, was
heard. His testimony was confined to
facts concerning the discovery of his
son in Il dying condition in pasture

had n rendezvous. lie also testified

CAPTAIN CLARK OF THE OREGON
TESTIFIES in SCHLEY INQUIRY

Washington, Oct 25.-The large
audience manifested signs of interest
as the captain of the Oregon approach
ed the witness stand. Admiral Dewey
smiled as he walked around to the end
of the table to administer the oath.
Captain Clark at first spoke in an un-
dertone and was two or three times re-
quested to raise his voice. This he did
as he progressed and was soon dis
tinctly heard in the vicinity Of the
court.
At the request of Mr.. Rayner he be-
gan a description of the battle Of July
3rd as follows:
when we discovered the Spanish
ships coming out, our fleet closed in at
once to attack them, each ship being
ordered to keep her head directly to-
ward the harbor entrance. The Span
y ards turned to the westward, breaking
through our line and crossing 1t, and
our ships swung OF to the westward in
pursuit. Both sides opened fire prompt
ly and fired rapidly. Dense smoke soon
obscured the vessels. making 1t diff
cult to distinguish them.
THE Oregan ran between the Iowa
and the Texas and the next ships to
the westward in our line. and soon af-
ter we sighted four Spanish ships
ahead, apparently uninjured at the
time. They had gained SO much ground
that believed they had been success
full in attempting to escape. but it was
soon evident we were gaining at least
on one of them. which afterwards
proved to be the Maria Teresa. the
flagship. and thought we should bring
her to close action. but might be ex-
posed to the concentrated fire of all
the ships.
Just then the smoke lifted or broke
away to the left and discovered the
Brooklyn. Sne was well forward of our
port beam and broadside to the enc
my's fleet. Her course was, perhaps.
a little divergent from ours. because
the Oregon was attempting to draw up
upon the Teresa. But the Brooklyn
and Oregon maintained this relative
position. bow and quarter. approxi-
mately to the end of the Datt.e, the
Brooklyn steaming straight ahead as
nearly as l could Judge and engaging
any and all of the Spanish ships. the
Oregon endeavoring to come to close
action with the sternmost one, and
when she was driven out of action and
pointed to the beach, then pushed on

TELLS PLAIN AND CANDID TALE

ticed the diffoulty, responded by show
ing a willingness to adjourn the court.
Mr.. Rayner however. expressed a de-
sire to proceed, saying that he had
number of questions which he wished
to ask, and Admiral ,,chley assented to
his counseps suggestion. A quarter of
an hour later Admiral Dewey himself
renewed the suggestion for an adjourn
ment, and, all concerned agreeing to
this proposition. the court adjourned
until Monday at IL o'clock.
The chief event o. the day was the
admiral's relation of the events of July
3rd, when the American fleet sent Ger
vera's squadron to the bottom of the
sea or to the beach. He told his story
of the historical occurrence in plain
words and m unaffected style, but the
narrative was straightforward and to
the point. indicating close familiarity
with all the phases of that event. He
said that Inc Brooklyn had for time
sustained the fire of all four of the
Spanish ships. and also the fire of the
Spanish land batteries. Explaining the
historical turn of his own flagship. the
Brooklyn, he said that she had not ap-
preached to within less than 600 yards
of the Texas. and he had never consid
cred his vessel in the least danger.
He also stated, in response to an in
terrogation from Mr. Rayner. that he
had never during the battle engaged in
any colloquy with Lieutenant Hodgson,
and that ne had not used the express
sion attributed to him by Hodgson.
This refers 20 the alleged colloquy in
which the admiral is charged with
having said: Damn the Texas" Ad-
miral Schley also gave the details of
the reconnaissance of May 31st, when
the Spanish ship Crlstobal Colon was
bombarded. In this connection he de-
MED the statement attributed to him
by Commander Potts Of the battlesnip

for the next one ahead, and SO on un-
til the entire feet was driven ashore.
Mr.. Rayner-D.d you get any signals
from the Brooklyn on the day of bat

Yes. sir"
Can you recall what they were?"
"Of my oyn knowledge and remem-
brance the signals that impressed
themselves upon me at the time were

Washington. Oct. 26.-As Admiral
Schley left the court room yesterday
he was given an ovation. A large num-
ber OF persons had halted outside the
court room and many insisted on shak-
ing hands with him. The assemblage
escorted him up the hill from the gun
ners' workshop, in which the court sits.
to the outer gates of the navy yard.
The day was a notable one in the
court. By large odds the largest crowd
that has yet attended any of the ses-
sions was present, and deep interest
was manifested throughout the pro-
ceedings. Long before the beginning
of the morning session all the seats re-
served for visitors in the court room
were occupied, and the greater portion
of the space in the rear of these seats
was covered by men and women stand
ing. They not only stood on the floor.
but upon window sills. and tables. and
even the rude elevator machinery in
that portion of the hall was covered by
men. On only one occasion WAS there
any effort at applause, and this was
suppressed before it reached any mag
nitude.
When the court of inquiry adjourned
Admiral Schley had not completed his
testimony in chief. He took the stand
about 11:30 O'Clock, after former wit
-pesses had been recalled for the pur-
ose of making corrections in and ad
'aitions to their testimony. and contin-
ued his statement until the court ad-
journed at 3:40 p. m.
This adjournment twenty minutes in
advance of the usual time was due to
the fact that the admiral's throat had
become somewhat sensitive as result
of his continuous talking for two days.
He had made complaint to the court of
the condition of his throat Immediately
after concluding his recital of the story
Of the battle of Santiago. and Admiral
Dewey, who evidently himself had no.
