the former Mavor of Oakland, who
was shot by Adolph Goldman on June
Is, at the Clarendon Hotel, was re-
sumed yesterday morning by Attorney
Frank Murphy before Police Judge
Mogan and a packed courtroom. Some
interesting statements hitherto un-
published were wrung from the wit
ness, the aim of the defense apparent
ly being to show that Goldman had
been driven temporarily insane by ILL
treatment received when he endeav-
Ored to collect money which he had
advanced the man whose life he finally
attempted to take.
Snow admitted that on several occa-
sions, within a twelvemonth prior to
the shooting by Goldman, he had been
provoked TO beat that person severely,
and once deemed it necessary TO in
timidate him by firing, a pistol In
March. 1903, Goldman and Snow were
in the latters apartment in the Adams
House, on Eddy street, and Snow beat
Goldman with his fists until one Of
his (Snow's) hands was so severely in
jured that the surgeons bill amounted
to $50, which Goldman subsequently
paid. In April of the same year the
two men were in Goldman's apartment
al 79 Grant avenue, and Goldman be-
haved so badly that Snow fired a pis-
tol shot TO subdue him, the bullet pass
ing about eighteen inches above Gold
mans head. Later in the same month
they were again together in Shows
apartment in the Larchmont Hotel,
where Snow again used his fists and
then dragged Goldman the entire
length Of a corridor.
Snow went to Slippery Ford, in
Placer County, and during his sojourn
there Goldman visited him three times.
Goldman's conduct on one of those
visits angered Snow TO such an ex-
tent that he took a stick two inches in
diameter and six feet long and swung
it at Goldman's head. but lowered his
aim ere the weapon landed so that it
struck a box upon which Goldman was
seated. In Shows apartment in the
Queen House, on Mason street, Snow
beat Goldman several times with his
fists. and one day last February the
former Mavor beat Goldman because
the latter tried to prevent him from
going TO dinner at his home in Oak
land. They took a five days trip to-
gether, and quarreled much of the
time. Goldman once destroyed bric-a-
brac and other treasures in Shows
room in the Adams House. and then
paid Snow 800 to make good the dam
age.
why did you beat him?" Mr. Muir
ply asked.
Because he acted in such a way
that 1 could do nothing else" was the
answer.
Did you consider him insane?"
Yes; the insanity of a spoiled
child"
What do you mean by that?"
Wen. when he couldn't have every
thing his own way he acted insanely?'
In what way?'
He writhed on the floor and threw
money around and did other silly
things
Why did you beat him in Oakland?'
Because he would not let me go te
dinner at my home unless / took him
with me-"
1t developed that on one occasion
Snow presented to Goldman a bill for
$1,000 for attendance during spells of
temporary insanity, and, asked what
he meant by that, Snow replied that
he did il as a counter bluff" because
Goldman was trying 10 collect money
from him.
The defense viii be heard tomorrow.
Charles Edward Trulson, accused of
burglary. proved that the premises he
was charged with having broken into,
in the 800 block of Howard street. con-
sisted Of a vacant lot. Then the charge
was reduced to larceny, and Judge
Conlan asked the prosecution what the
defendant had stolen besides the police
man who arrested him. The case will
be heard tomorrow.
When the case OF Mrs. Annie Lippe.
charged with peace disturbance and
battery, was called before Judge Mo-
gan it was reported that the woman
had shown such unmistakable syrnp-
toms Of insanity that she was detained
in the Receiving Hospital for examina-
ton by the Lunacy Commission.
Crystal and Nettie Vale. twenty
year-old twins from Spokane, con-
vinced Judge Conlan that they were
rot vagrants. but tourists, and blush
ingly confessed that their conduct
since they came here three weeks ago
has not been as discreet as it would
have been if they had remained at
their home. The sisters were dismissed
with a caution.
Since the Inauguration of the fresh
fruit season Eugene Perenti, retailer
at % Ninth street, has been utilizing
the sidewalk fronting his shop for
storage purposes, to the great incon-
venience Of passing pedestrians. When
policeman requested him to remem-
Der that the city's footways were con-
structed for public use Eugene retorted
saucily. Judge Mogan will sentence
him to-day.
