SCUFFLE IN
COURT TO SHOW
THE FATAL FIGHT
Prosecutor Hastings and Wit

Dover Murder Trial
KILLED BY aWAVE" OF PITCaFORK
Special to The Evening Journal.

Dover, May 3.-The trial of Edward
Brown, colored, in the Kent county
court for the murder of James Leth-
rem. a white farmer, at Clayton, on
June IL last. was enlivened today by
a practical demonstration of the fight
which occurred at the time the vic
tim met his death. The participants
were Deputy Attorney General Hast
ings and John Darragh, witness for
the State. The men scuhied on the
floor of the court room and gave such
an interesting exhibition that the jur-
ors stood -up to witness it as did also
most of the spectators, while the
three Judges leaned over the bench.
This was the final action of the pro-
secution in it's effort to convict Brown
of the crime. 1t followed another
demonstration made by Darragh when,
with a cane, he struck Attorney Henry
Ridgely. of counsel for the prisoner
on the head in order to show how
Lethrem met his death with pitch
fork at the hands of the prisoner.
KILLED BY PITCHFORK WAVE
The State endeavored to prove that
Lethrem was an innocent bystander
who simply laid his hand upon Brown
in order to halt him during his rush
with a pitchfork during a general fight.
The state closed and the defense
opened at II o'clock. The defense
contends that Brown was waving the
pitchfork during the fight i'm self-pro-
lection and that Lethrem got in the
way of one of the waves" and was
killed.
When Lawyer Ridgely handed Mr.
Darragh a light cane and asked that
the latter show him how Lethrem was
killed by striking him (Ridgely) on the
head. the witness objected. Attorney
General Richards suggested that the
pitchfork. with which the deed was
committed be used, but Mr. Ridgely
J replied NO. 1 thank you. the cane will
do quite as we'll"
II Mr. Darragh then acQuiesced and the
4 demonstration with the care was
made. The illustration of the deadly
y scuhie was next in order and then eht
State rested.
iA DEFENSE BEGINS.
The defense called Raymond White
George Brown. Howard Boyer an'
other negroes who testified that sew
eral. white men rushed into the hote
ward intoxicated. Lethrem being amonl
them. and set upon the negro helpers
When Lethrem started toward Brown
the witnesses stated, the latter threw
the straw from the pitchfork and be
-an waving it about his head.
Iethrem continued toward the pris
oner. hitting and kicking him, and fin
ally ran into one of the waves o
the implement and received a blow ol
the side of the head which caused hi
death.
The defense viii also attempt Z
urove that Brown had been i'll for te
months prior to the tragedy and wa
not able to defend himself without
weapon of some sort. The case WI

BEARS A CHARMED LIFE.

OAKLAND, May 11.-Henry Folger,
62 years Of age, survived a pistol shot
In the head and exposure to the waters
of San Francisco Bay tonight in what
is believed to have been an attempt
at suicide.
Folger is a sheepherder and lives
at the Reno House on Sacramento
street in San Francisco. This even
ing he was found at the foot of the
rip-rap at the Sixteenth-street- station,
with the incoming tide washing over
him and a gaping bullet wound in the
right side of his head. He was un-
conscious and in a short time the tide
would have accomplished what the
bullet failed to. He was taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where he told
Steward Borchert that he was sitting
on the rocks examining his pistol.
when he slipped and fell and the pistol
was discharged. He could not ex-
plain why he chose that particular
spot for making an examination of
the weapon, or how 1t was that the
bullet entered the right side of his
head, or why ii was that he was sit
ting on q wall of rocks so that when
he fell he would roll into the water,
which would finish what the bullet
might not do.
He was cared for by Borchert, who
put him to bed, and because he was
absolutely without money the steward
furnished him with funds for his re-
turn TO his San Francisco home.

CATTLE CENSUS is LATEST

Health Officers Men Will Apply Tuberculin
Test to Prevent Disease,

BERKELEY, May IA COW census
in the college town is the latest form
of municipal activity, the Police De-
partment being now engaged in max
ing such a count. Each cow, calf or
other member of the bovine family
owned in Berkeley is tc be counted,
registered and a record kept of its res
idenee and owners name.
In addition TO the census figures
that will be thus obtained, a physical
examination Of all the cows will be
made by the Health Department. The
dairies in particular Will undergo a
rigid inspection to discover any traces
of tuberculosis in COWS.
An ordinance recently adopted by
the Board of Town Trustees regllat-
ing the keeping of cattle within the
municipal limits makes necessary this
inspection. A section of the ordinance
in question provides that not more
than four COWS shall be kept in Berke-
ley on one acre of land. Citizens have
been complaining that this section of
the ordinance is violated, and all these
complaints will be investigated.
Cows in dairies and those owned by
families will all be required to undergo
the tuberculin test, administered by
Health Officer Rinehardt's deputies.
The police will finish the cattle census
this week, after which the inspection
by the health Office will begin.
