Thousands in Sacramento Greet the
 President.


 President.
 SACRAMENTO, Gal, May 2o.--At Sacramento, where the president ar rived late yesterday, he was met by Governor Pardee and Mayor Clark and the citizens committee. At the rail- road station he was greeted by one of the largest crowds ever seen in Saera- mento. Followed by carriages filled with citizens, the president drove from the depot to the grand stand, which was crowded with school children, who presented pretty appearance, each of the several thousand little ones waving an American flag. The president was evidently impressed with the scene, for he raised his hat to the little ones in gracious recognition of the hearty cheers. .., ..~r.
 After the review of the school chil- dren President Roosevelt drove to the Sutter club, where he dined. After din ner he drove to the state capitol build ing, where he had brief informal talk with Governor Pardee and other dis tinguished citizens. The governors reception over, President Roosevelt stepped out upon the rostrum on the east front of the capitol building and delivered an address to the assembled citizens. Thousands were present, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. At the conclusion of his remarks the pres ident drove to his train at the station and later started on his journey toward Portland.
 Several stops will be made in Cali fornia before the Oregon line is reached
 Stops were made during the day at Reno, Nevada City and Carson.
 A man was arrested last night by Citizen F. M. Woodson. Woodson heard him say, "One has died, and an other might just as we'll" When ar- rested and taken to the jail the man gave his name as Randleman. He had a big six shooter inside his vest and two extra cartridges in his pocket. He offered no explanation. He had tick ct from Sacramento to Selby Smelling works and $27 in his pocket.

weapon i,

There is an old pistol in my house that has been lying there untouched for over a year. I can see that in order to clear myself, MT. Warde, it will be necessary for me to establish the guilt of another man. That is a hard part, an injustice I may say, of circumstantial evidence. Without offering direct proof of 8 mans guilt, it weaves 8 network about him so plausible and so apparently convinc- ing that it is almost impossible for him to establish his innocence. Cir cunstantial evidence assumes that I am guilty, and then challenges me to prove that I am not. It would be impossible for me to prove an alibi, because the time of the killing is not exactly located. have a suspicion of my own about this case, but do not feel warranted in telling what it is.
