WITNESS FROM FAR GERMANY
Mrs. RosaIie BIaise May Come 10000
Miles to Give Testimony.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-MrS
Rosalie Blaise, widow, may be brought
from the little hamlet of Hub, in Days
burg, Germany. to San Francisco. To-
600 miles away, to testify aginst her
brother, Leon Soeder, at his trial for
the murder of her husband, Joseph
Blaise, who was recently stabbed and
thrown over Russian Hill precipce.
The idea had been in the minds Of
the police before and it assumed almost
the proportions of an imperative un-
dertaking when it was found that thu
dispositions of Mrs. Blaise, her mother
in-law, and others, which We're taken at
Hub under the direction of Joseph l.
Britain. United States consul at Kiel
and which are now on the way to the
chief of police Of this city. will not
be admissible in court under the Cali
fornia statute prescribing the rights
of a defendant.
The only alternative, where the po-
lice believe that this evidence is all
that they need to convict the" priso-
ner of the crime. is to bring the witness
or witnesses here in person.
Examination developed the fact that
there is money sufficient in the contin~
gent fund provided for the further ,
ance of justice to bring Mrs. BlaiSe to
this city. and that the police have full
power to use the amount required IN
that way.
The district attorney says that MIS-.
Blaise is a most important witness ana
it is understood that he expects TO
prove by her testimony that SOeder IN
duced her husband to come to Amerl-
ca by false representations, fact
that will go far to Substantial the
theory that the murder was the cunl-
nation of SOeder'S scheme TO entlce
his brOther-in-laW to this country
have him insure his life in his Soc
der's favor, and then kill him and col
lect the amount.

5OSEPH'S COAT FOR HORSE Dyer's Pony in Many Colors Parades and Indignant Residents
 Protest in Vain.

"The purple cow, has been outdone by "the purple horse" in Glencoe, H. Otto Spinoza, proprietor of dye house, has disturbed the sensibilities of residents by the purple, green, pink and other combinations of dyes with which he has decorated his white horse.
 When the horse first appeared in a new color residents were amused, but as brilliant colors were added from time to time and the horse became less and less presentable, an attempt was made to have it kept from the streets. The police decided that the horse could
