Mrs. Cadanassaw and then walked back
to my house."
"Why didn't you fire the. rest of the
shots?" questioned Bahrs.
Just for that reason: that one went
off while | was cooking the gun and l
was afraid the others might go off the
same way was the reply.
Explains How Shot Was Fired.
The defendant next told how he re-
turned to the basement and put his pistol
away in the cellar. Mrs. Wilson had al
ways objected to him having the pistol
in the house. At this time he had no ink
ling that anybody was hurt.
Wilson's right hand is MANNED The
defense wanted him to tell how it hap
pened, but an objection on the part of
the prosecuting attorney was sustained
and all that Wilson was allowed to do
was to close and shut his hand before
the jury. His left hand is partly para
lyzed.
That ended the direct examina tion
Deputy District Attorney Greaney then
took the witness in hand.
Did. you see any one on the street
when you came down from the porch to
the alleyway?' was his first question.
Yes; in front of Geghens house." re-.
piled Wilson.
On direct examination Wilson testified
that the street was quiet. At this point
the pistol used was produced and Wilson
demonstrated to the jury how he ma
nipulated it on the night of the shooting.
He showed how, as he testified in direct
examination, the trigger was pulled be-
yond the half cock mark and then the
pistol went off.
Did you Intentionally fire at anybody 2"
asked Judge Ferral.
mo, sir responded Wilson.
THAT is the testimony of the Defense"
said the defendants attorney. and then
both parties agreed as to the time to be
taken up by the arguments which will be
begun Monday morning.

STRIKES ENEMY
WITH BLACKJACK
Timothy Killeen Makes
Murderous Assault OH
John F. Donovan.

A murderous assault was made early
yesterday morning upon John f. Dono-
van, bartender living at 519 Jessie
street, while he was asleep in a chair In
a saloon on Market street.
Donovan was twice struck on the
head with a blackjack, and while 1t IS
thought that his skull is fractured there
is said to be no danger of fatal result;
Timothy KilIeen, an ironmolder living
at $40 Howard street. Special Ohcer
Thalia dance hall, and John O'Brien Wis
tied the saloon shortly before 3 O'Clock
yesterday morning and ordered drinks.
Killeen saw Donovan asleep on cnalr
and at once attacked him with a black
jack, striking him two vicious blows on
the head. tred Krucker, who conducts
the cigar stand in front of the saloon,
seized a club and ran to DOnOvan'S assist
ance Special Murphy thereupon drew
his club and dared Krucker to interfere.
Murphy was asked to arrest K1lleen but
refused Donovan, after the second blow,
kicked Killeen and his hat fell on.
Killeen ran out of the saloon and Muir
ply picked up the hat and went after him
with 1t. Six witnesses saw the assault by
killeen upon Donovan.
Policeman Beach was notified and he
sent Donovan to the Receiving Hospital,
where two ugly wounds in his scalp were
dressed The surgeons thought there
might be a fracture of the skull, but were
not positive. About an hour after the
assault Beach and Officer Murphy arrest
ed Killeen in a saloon on Second street
and booked him on a charge of assault to
murder. They also arrested Special Muir
ply and O'Brien When OBrien was
searched a blackjack, brass knuckIes and
club were found in his pockets and he
was booked on q charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Murphy was locked up i'm "the tanks, y
but yesterday afternoon re was booked
on a charge of refusing to make an ar
rest. His star will be taken from him.
The trouble between Killeen and Dono-
van started Sunday night in the saloon
at A Second street, where Donovan was
employed as a bartender. There was a
dispute about drinks between them and
fight ensued, during which Donovan
struck Killeen on the forehead with a
bungstarter, knocking him out. When
Killeen recovered Donovan had disap-
peared and Killeen threatened to get even
with him at the first opportunity. Dono-
van was afraid to return to the saloon.

AGREE ON PLANS
FOR BOND ISSUE
Supervisors Revise Ordi-
nances for Public
improvements.
Seek Advice as to Manner
Of Submitting the
Projects.

The Joint Supervisors Committee on
Judiciary and Public Utilities met yester-
day for the purpose Of revising the varl-
Gus declaratory ordinances providing Tor
the acquisition of public utilities ana I'M
provements, the City Attorney having ao-
vised that they were defective.
The first ordinance considered was the
one declaring that public interest de-
mands the acquisition OF the Iuolumne
River water supply as munlclpal sys-
TEN. AS there was a doubt whether the
ordnance should be puDnsneo TOT iVe u
fourteen days befote final passage, 1t was
referred to the City Attorney for a de-
cision. as the charter is ambiguous on
the question.
The City Attorney was asked to advise
whether the charter provision requiring
the submission of one pubic utility al
time to a vote of the people contemplated
parks. school sites, school buildings,
sewer system and hospital should be made
at separate elections. Also Wnether each
separate school or square proposed to pc
ACQUIRED should be voted upon separately
or whether they can De voted uHuer oAe
blanket project.
The proposition to incorporate the st.
Mary's square plan in the bond issue met
with some opposition, but it was finally
recommended
The ordinance for the erection of school
! buildings was amenQSU 10 pIOVlOS 1Ol tliO
acquisition of six school sites. The Board
of Educators recommendation that
site be acquired for the Lowell High
School to cost 100000, that building be
erected to replace the Madison Primary
School to cost $50 900, and that a building
be erected for a new Polytechnic High
School to cost $150,O00 were incorporated
in the ordinance.
Mayor Phelan suggested that the sewer
proposition be cut from S5 100000 to $500. :
GOO, as he feared the bond issue as a whole
might be jeopardized if such large sums
were proposed to be expended. He favor
ed that the issue for the rest Of the
money be submitted to the people in five
or six years from now. The committee,
however, decided that the original amount
should stand.
Brandenstein favored 81, 100000 for hos
pital, but the Board of Works had rec
commended an expenditure of $500,000 and
no change was made.
Reeds motion that the school projects,
parks, sewer system and hospital be in
corporated on separate bills was adopted.
A representative of the West of Castro
street improvement Club petitioned that
Twin Peaks be acquired for park pur-
poses. He was requested to ascertain
what the property would cost.

NO, was thereby.
What did you do then?'
81 walked from the porch down the
alley to the post and stood with my back

mo one: it was too dark
Wilson then said he had no other object
in going to the alleyway than to see that
the fire was out. He remained there but
a few minutes. 81 saw that the street
was quiet and it was a good time to fire
my pistol off. I was going to fire it in
