SMITH MURDER
TRIAL BEGINS

The trial of Joseph Smith, the aged
contractor, charged with the murder of
Joseph Z. MCGOWAN at the terra Gotta
works, 1868 Mission street, on the morn
ing OF November 26, was begun before
a jury in Judge Lawlor's court yester-
day. The witnesses examined were
Corporal George w. Russell of the Po-
lice Department, who explained a dia-
gram he had made of the scene of the
murder; DR.. L. D. Bacigalupi, autopsy
surgeon, and James Beatty, an eye
witness of the murder
During Beatty's examination almost
every question was objected to by At
torney Henry Ach, counsel for the de-
fendant, which led to interminable
chickering's between opposing counsel
and the bench. Ach moved a chair
within the railing, and after few min
utes Assistant District Attorney FerraI
insisted that Ach should move to his
proper place at the lawyers table and
not intimidate the witness. Ach retorted
that he was not intimidating the wit
ness, but claimed that he could not dis
tinctly make out what the witness said.
He insisted that each answer of the
witness should be read to him by the
court reporter. The Judge told Ach
not to be captious. He had to move to
the lawyers table, and every answer
of the witness was repeated to him by
the court reporter.
Beatty testified as to the quarreling
between the defendant and MCGOWAN
about dog and to MCGOWAN knocking
the defendant down. Beatty and Nc
GoWan went into the mixing shed to
consult about some work, and when
coming out they We're confronted by the
defendant, who had a double barreled
shotgun aimed at them. Beatty tried
to catch hold of the barrel, but missed
1t and fell Just then he heard the shot
and MCGOWAN fell beside him with
blood squirting from his head The de-
fendant walked down the yard, calling
MCGOWAN all the offensive names he
could think of. and said, "McGowan
was nothing but Democrat, and a
Democrat was no good unless he was
dead"
The trial will be resumed this morn
ing.

Wine MEN ASK
TO AFFILIATE

The California State Board Of
Trade voted yesterday TO institute
viticultural section, a separate organt-
zation, but affiliated with the board.
John P. Irish was appointed chairman
of the viticultural section. to organize 1t
and to bring il into legal relations with
the Board of Trade. which is an incor-
porated body.
Percy T. Morgan. president of the
California Wine Association; Charles
A Wetmore and r. M. Wood appear
ed before the board and requested the
formation of a viticultural section
Mr. Morgan addressed the board at
considerable length and said that the
wine industry of California had no or
ganized body to represent It, The
Viticultural Commission had been
abolished; the Viticultural Club, or
ganized some time ago, had yet but
a small membership.
Mr.. Morgan also spoke of the man
ner in which recent reports had been
made by the San Francisco Board or
Health concerning samples OF wine
that they had analyzed. The winemen,
Mr. Morgan said, were interested In
having only pure wines made in Cali
fornia The California Wine Associa-
ton would guarantee every drop OF
wine that is sent out from its cellars
California wines were as pure as any
food product in the United States
For years the Wine Association had
maintained a laboratory and had used
this and also added the efforts of the
association to have a pure food bill
passed.
The reports sent out by the San
Francisco Board of Health were CAL
culated to greatly damage not only
the wine industry but the State of Cal
ifornia at large. They gave an incor-
rect impression. The winemen had no
organization or headquarters and both
organization and headquarters were
needed in just such an emergency as
had recently arisen.
The Board of Trade promptly voted
to establish viticultural section aux
iliary to the State Board of Trade
Reports from the various sections OF
the State concerning the orchard and
vineyard yield, which were received
yesterday in answer to a circular let
ter, show conditions to be generally IA
vorable. From the bay counties all
reports agree that practically no dam
age was done by the heavy rain
storms in March and the frost that
followed. In the coast counties the
storm did some damage, but there was
none from frost and conditions are good.
In the San Joaquin district the frost
was light and the damage likewise
throughout the Sacramento Valley
but slight damage is reported. and in
dications are good. The fruit crop
promises to be heavy. South of the
Tehachapi there was little damage, and
conditions are excellent

DENIES SPRINGER'S MOTION
TO REOPEN WILEY CASE
Judge Trout Rules the verdict in
Favor of Mrs. Muirhead Was
Just One

a just One.
Judge Trout handed down a deci-
sion yesterday denying the motion of
w. K. Springer for rehearing of the
contest of the will of the late Charles
Walter Wiley, who left his estate to
Mrs. Louisa M. Muirhead. and in
whose favor the jury decided. The
courts decision was oral no written
opinion being filed.
Springer, through his attorneys,
Stoney & Stoney, sought to bring the
will contest to trial again on the
ground that the verdict was not sup
ported by the evidence. The attor-
neys occupied two days in their argu-
ment and went over all of the testi-
mony that had been given before the
jury. Judge Trout, however, decided
that the jury was the judge of the
facts and had resolved them In favor
of Mrs. Muirhead. His order of yes
terday refusing to reopen the case is
in line with this view.

Another remarkable chapter has been
written in the contest over the will of
the late Alexander Dunsmuir involving
the defeat Of hurried effort to remove
beyond the jurisdiction of the courts of
California securities belonging, it is
said, to the estate of the deceased es-
timated to be worth from S2,000,000 to
$6.0O0,000. Judge Coffey made the order
that will hold these securities here.
The order was not made, however, un-
til after Attorney Charles s. Wheeler.
representing James Dunsmuir. former
Premier of Canada and brother and
sole devisee of the late Alexander
Dunsmuir, had made desperate bat
tie for an opposing ruling, an analysis
OF his argument making it plain that
technically it stands as repudiation
OF all proceedings heretofore taken on
behalf of James Dunsmuir and re-
pudiation of his oaths as executor of
the will of the dead capitalist.
Judge Coffey's order of yesterday was
directed to the Pacific Improvement
Company, Horace G. Platt as one of its
officers, the Canadian Bank of Com
merce and all others that may hold
property of the deceased to keep them
within the jurisdiction of the court and
place them in the hands of Public Ad-
the law may direct. The order was the
result of precipitate action on the part
of Attorney Thomas w. Hickey, repre-
senting the Public Administrator who
rushed into Judge Coffey'S court yes
terday morning with an affidavit set
ting forth that at the direction of
James Dunsmuir stock in the Esqui-
malt and Nanaimo Railway Company
worth S6,000000, a part of Alexander
DunSmuirS S estate, was about to be re-
moved to British Columbia.
STORY IN AFFIDAVIT.
The story of the scheme to get the
stock beyond the jurisdiction of the
affidavit, follows:
The estate OF Alexander Dunsmuir is the
owner of certain capital stock of the Esqui-
matt and Nanaimo Railway Company, of great
value. The stock is in the hands of certain
persons, firms and corporations, unknown to
this affiant, but the corporations
deavoring to send the stock beyond the jurs-
diction of this court and to persons who
not entitled to tue same. There is no duly
appointed, qualified or acting administrator of
the estate of deceased to take charge of the
stock and other property OF deceased and
unless some person forthwith be appointed
Alexander Dunsmuir, deceased, the stock and
other property of said deceased Will be sent
beyond the jurisdiction of this court and will
become lost to the estate of said deceased.
If the order heretofore made herein continuing
the hearing OF atlantis petition that he be
appointed special administrator of the estate
OF said Alexander Dunsmuir deceased, is not
vacated and set aside and affiant forthwith
appointed special administrator of the estate
of the deceased, the said capital stock and
other property belonging to the deceased will
and will become lost to the estate of the de-

The reception and banquet given
by the Juniors to the. Seniors on
Tuesday evening was a very pretty
and enjoyable social affair. The
hall had been artistically decorated
for the occasion by choice plants
and bunting, the class colors being
much in evidence. Many alumni
were present, and. parents of the
members Of the graduating class
and the Board of Education. A
number of toasts were proposed
and responded to and all present
had a good time. The pupils of the
Warren school evidently know how
to enjoy themselves in an orderly
and refined manner.
Some small boys had picked the
lock in Mr.. Bangs store, now
closed, and had entered and re-
moved therefrom some confectionery
and other small articles, which they
hid among piles of wood near by.
The county attorney was notified
and an officer was sent to look up
the boys. 1t is a serious offense
with which they are charged, and a
term at the reform school may do
them good and save them from the
penitentiary later on in life. We
refrain from publishing the names
of the boys this week, hoping that
they may mend their ways and be
good boys. But next time they do
anything bad like that we will print
their names and let everybody know
who they are.
