VERDICT ACQU|Ts
MRS. HOUSEWORT
Woman Accused of
Forging Fuller Will
Goes Free.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OROVILLE, Nov. 23.-Mrs. Minnie
Houseworth was found not guilty of the
crime of forgery by jury this morning.
The verdict is blow at the evidence of
handwriting experts, who know nothing of
the facts except what their microscopes
and knowledge of chirography tell them.
One of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution was Expert Theodore Kytka,
who spent several days before the jury,
tracing the sinuosities of the handwriting
of Mrs. HouSeworth. He declared en-
phatically that Mrs. Houseworth wrote
the entire body of the will to which AL
fred F'uller's name was forged, leaving her
nearly his entire estate.
Mrs. Rodley, wife of DR.. Rodley, under
sentence of twelve years for perjury in
connection with the will, swore that Kyt-
ka had offered through her to testify In
Mrs HouseWorth's favor If paid suffi-
cient sum.
The verdict is taken as indicating so
strongly how jury of farmers disregards
the testimony of handwriting experts that
it was believed to-day that no effort would
now be made to convict Mrs. Houseworth
on another possible charge, where the
prosecution would have to rely largely
upon experts. It Is believed that the case
of DR.. A. J. Landis, indicted for forging a
note against Fullers estate. will never
The Housewo~th case was given to the
jury yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. This
morning at 9 o'clock when the courthouse

S. NJ. Houseworth, not guilty"
The defendant was accompanied by her
son, J. P. West, and Attorney Duncan.
When the verdict was read she sat erect.

sank back in her chair and wept.

criminal cases arising out of the Fuller
estate Lands was to have come to trial

Rodley as a witness, would come up
Garner who has been in Jail two years,
has pleaded guilty and testified against
Rodley and Mrs. Houscworth. He will be

ency will be invoked in his behalf.

officers propose to start with him for San
Quentin some night and try to land him

more stop them in San Francisco with a

LOS GATos CHERRY
TREE IN FULL BLOOM
Heat Of Recent Confagration Starts
Buds at an Unreasonable

LOS GATOs, Nov. Bios Gatos has
novel attraction in the shape Of a cherry
tree in full bloom, and but for the frost
and cold weather that is certain to come
the residents might enjoy cherries with
their New Years dinner.
The big fire month ago destroyed the
Lord residence and z cherry tree IN the
yard was badly scorched. Heat from the
flames started the sap to running and the
uninjured part Of the tree has now bios
somed out. The blooms are well developed
and cover the branches. Orchardists
claim that if it were possible to build a
dollhouse around the tree the buds would
set and the cherries ripen.
Just after the forest fires near Wrights
Station several hundred prune trees,
which had been scorched in a like man
ner. blossomed, but the buds were killed
by the cold weather. They rebloomed the
next spring, however, and produced very
good fruit.

Theodore Kytka, when seen in regard
to the testimony Of Mrs. Rodley in the
trial of Mrs. Minnie Houseworth in Oro-
vile, displayed great Indignation, and
branded the woman's statements as ut
terly false.
'In 1885," said the writing expert tI
sent a report to the Grand Jury at Oro-
vile declaring that the will was for
gerry and that it was written by Mrs.
Houseworth. In 1899 1 testified in full
that the will was forgery. 1t was not
until 1900 that met Mrs. Rodley Through
her solicitations to George Collins he in
