Interest in the trial of Lemuel
ID. Campbell. charged with the murder
of hts wife, centered to-day in the de-
fendant himself. who took the stand in
his own defense. He was led careful
ly over the ground Of his troubles with
his wife as testified to by other wit
masses, connecting and explaining their
testimony.
The murder and the circumstances
connected with 1t he is not supposed
to know anything about, and was not
asked. His attorney, ex-Judge F'rtck,
relies upon making out case of emo
tional insanity, superinduced by men
tai worry by his Wife's misdeeds and
aggravated by liquor, to clear his eli
ent. and does not believe that for the
week preceding the homicide he was
responsible.
Campbell himself made the most in
teresting witness that has been put on
the stand during the trial Of the case.
His answers were clear cut and
straightforward. His fight with j.
Fossati, whom he knocked down for
taking his wife out one night, was ex-
planned in detail. The state of his
mind on the night of the shooting has

jury, except facts testified to by other
witnesses.
A, w. Anselmi, a butcher for whom
Campbell worked, has testified that
Campbell came to his shop about I
o'clock on the night of the homicide
in an Intoxicated condition and had
with him a quart bottle of whisky. An
selmi was asked to take drink, which
he refused. Campbell then took
a drink himself and put the bottle back
into his pocket. Anselmi says that he
then told Campbell that his former
wife had called him up twice and
wanted to see him. Campbell said he
would go and see her. An hour later
he fed from the place her slayer.
Campbell's sister, Mrs. Romie Raj
.feto, made a pathetic witness for her
brother. She almost tainted on the
stand, but held herself together long
enough to tell of a visit she received
from her brothers wife. on which oc-
casion Mrs. Campbell had a big re-
volyer and said that she was going to
shoot him. She also had a call from
Mrs. Cutler, Mrs. Campbells mother,
who told her that she was after her
brother and would send him to San
Quentin If 1t took every cent she had

his former wife and she again. involved

she married, first, Sir George Trench

men who had determined to fight for
