Attorney on the Stand

After Pickrell left the witness stand
Attorney Mulford asked that he be
allowed to take the stand in behalf OF
the defense. This was granted. He
was cross examined by Attorney John
stone Jones, also for the defense, ano
by Attorney Keyes. He testified re-
garding a conversation between himself
and Pickrell, and practically contra
dicted the testimony of Pickrell bearing
upon the same questions.
Officers Roberds and Sharon when
placed on the stand told of the con-
fession which they secured from Miss
Casselman when she was arrested. Of
ficer Sharon said:
Miss Casselman told me that she
met young man in Eastlake park and
that she made several efforts to get
rid of him but that he persisted in fol-
lowing her about, and that it resulted
in their taking lunch together and
spending the afternoon of the same day
at Westlake park, where he succeeded
in getting her to write letter to his
sister which he dictated, and that al
the same time he produced several
blank checks and got her to sign these
and later accompanied her to the banks
and saw that these were cashed.
HE took this money, according to
Miss Casselman, and the two went to
Long Beach and entered bank, the
young man promising her that he was
going to. invest it in Goldfield mines.
Shortly after he left this city, she said
she had a letter from him dated the
Cliff house, San Francisco, that he said
his name was Mason Smith.
His description is: Five feet eight
inches, dark hair and eyebrows, the lat
ter noticeable because they were large
and snappy. He wore a dark blue
serge suit when she saw him last and a
soft black hat"
At the conclusion of the hearing Miss
Casselman was bound over to the su-
perior court and was released on bail

asked to use the phone, and being of
a ladylike appearance | did not care to
scrutinize her or her movements. So
far as concerns whether or not l prefer
to sell my property to either ladies or
men. or through either, | frankly say
that it would not matter much to me,
but I would not in the least mind hav
ing 1t sold by a nice lady," replied
Phillips, whereupon every one in the
court room laughed aloud, all except
Miss Casselman; she did not even
change the position of her head. She
seemed to be aware of the fact that
every eye in the room was directed at
her, eager to notice what effect a little
joking would have upon her.
o. c. Pickrell, the paying teller of
the National Bank of California, was
then placed on the stand and ques-
toned closely as to the signatures
which appeared upon the checks which
he cashed for Miss Casselman. Several
objections were raised to this procedure
by the prosecution, most of which the
court overruled. and although there
was no particular cross examination in
it. it was allowed to go on.

eliminated and indications are that un-
less something Unforeseen develops.
hostilities will cease within a short
time. At a meeting between a commit
tee representing the strikers and ]. V.
Farwell, for the Employers assOcia-
ton, the question of conspicuous dis
play of the union button, which has
been opposed by the employers during
the peace negotiations, has been set
tied. This question is to be left with
the employers individually, the asso-
citation agreeing to withdraw its de-
mand for the elimination of the union
emblem.
AS the button proposition has been
the chief stumbling block during the
latest efforts to reach a peaceable set
tIement of the difficulty, it is the gen.
eral belief that the trouble is drawing
to a close, as all other terms of settle
ment made by the employers have
been accepted by the strikers repre-
sentatives. The matter will now go
before the unions general committee
and then be referred to a referendum.
This vote undoubtedly will favor set
tlement.

Conference.

Berlin, June 24.-Foreign Office Off
cials are busily engaged in studying
the French note on Morocco. the unu-

delay answering it.
Many Points Opened.
AS the study of Rouvier's answer
progresses the fact becomes evident
he has left many points open for dis
cussiOn and from which further negoz
tiations can continue. The greatest
difference now seems 10 be in agreeing
on whether Germany and France shall
seek to reach a separate agreement
before the meeting OF the conference,
thus eliminating many matters from
internal action.
Consider 1t DEseourteOus.
Germany apparently holds the view
it would be an act of discourtesy TO the
powers which have already agreed to
attend the conference if she arranged
any matters beforehand with France.
Official circles here continue to fol-
low the affair with keen interest but
without anything like the excitement,
much less the bellicose inclinations.
