San Francisco. He bore out the eVl- dence of Thomas as to his condition. This testimony concluded the evidence in the trial, and Judge Sloan briefly instructed the jury as to the law in the case, pointing strongly to the fact that the intent to defraud, beyong all doubt, must be show to prove the guilt of defendant.
 Attorney Pattee for the prosecution, maGe a clean cut stiu-g argument for the county, and deftly rehearsed the testimony, pointing most pertinently to the probable guilt of the defendant. His plea was devoid of oratorieal eff feet. but was the more effective for its plain statement of facts as shown by the prosecution. He occupied one hour of the time for arguing the ease, and concluded with a brief summing up of all the evidence, which he ex- plained would prove to the jury that there was plain ground upon which to base a verdict of guilty.
 The address of Attorney Morrison was beyond the expectations of his greatest admirers. From first to last he showed tho utter lack of proof of intent to defraud, even though mis- take had been made, and urged on the jury the necessity for bearing this in mind He repeated what Mrs. Tho mas had testified to saying she alone was to blame if there had been any stealing, and said the defense wanted no sympathy but plain justice. His reference to the indictment brought by the grand jury and the fact that the chief witness before that body had not dared to appear before the trial jury, was probably the strongest DOT tion of his argument. If an error has been made by Mrs. Thomas and War ner. her assistant, about woman with an unpronouncable nane, which Mrs' Thomas testified she did not know, fitted a man or a woman, then how about the report of Dr. Fitzsimmons, which bears out Mrs. Thomas?
 The attorney then went on to show that Dr. FitzsimmOns had been one Of the physicians to examine the woman, and adjudge her insane; had seen her committed to the asylum on August <, vet the following October he reported the same woman having been dismissed from the county hospital on October II.
 | "If this well-educated, graduated physician" urged Attorney Morrison, "under such circumstances, makes an error to this extent, how about the ! defendant! Why did not the prose cution bring Dr. FitzsimmOns on the stand! Why was not the whole story
 laid before the grand jury brought out in court?'
 In conclusion, the attorney explain ed the importance of careful consider ation by the jury of all the facts Tn tNlututt. lO AthASAhbNA N'N N
 intent to defraud the county, beyond a reasonable doubt. must he fully ad- mitted before verdict of guilt could be arrived at.
 Prosecuting Attorney Ellinwood clos ed the case in short address, lasting but about twenty minutes. His plea was quite plain, given fn a eonversa tional tone before the jury, but was strong in it's extreme brevity. He vast
 ed no words for effect, but made all that he uttered count for something.
 It was $40 p. m. when he arose to address the jury, and at 6 o'cloeE an officer had been sworn and the
 jurors escorted to their quarters to de liberate on a verdict.

New Music Teacher for Shepherd College.

New Music Teacher for Shepherd College.
Shepherd College is extremely for
tunate in having secured as the head
of its music department Miss Myrll
Williams, of Roseville. Ohio, who ar
rived here last Saturday and has al
ready entered upon her work. The
people of this section of the State are
to be congratulated upon the oppor-
tunity Of receiving instruction upon
the piano and voice culture from so
competent a musician. Miss Will
liams had her training mostly in the
Cincinnati College of Music. the GEN.
ter of musical culture in the West,
under the best instrumental instruct
ors and voice culturists that great in
stitution affords. She was favorite
pupil Of Signor MattioIa, famous
trainer of operate stars.
Miss Williams sang at the union
meeting in the Lutheran church last
Sunday night and at the opening ex-'
ercises of the college yesterday. She
possesses a pure, sweet soprano voice
of wide range and wonderful carry
ing quality, due partly to its native
excellence and partly to careful cul-
ture. 1t is vibratory to pleasing
degree and has fute-like sweetness
that touches and pleases. The Ohio
press is profuse in its commendation
Of her work as musician and vocal
ist and as a teacher. Her previous
work has been a private teacher Of
vocal and instrumental music and in
leading and directing church choirs
in her own home and neighboring
towns.
She ia full of enthusiasm IN her
work, and comes to Shepherd College
with the hope of making this depart
ment of the institution one of It's most
attractive features. She the daugh-
ter of Attorney and Mrs John a.
Williams, and the recommendations
as to her high personal character are
equal to those relating to her musical
ability. Besides her work in the col
lege, Miss Williams will take private
pupils in voice culture and piano in
struction, and the unsteady inclined
of Jefferson county and of our neigh
boring towns should avail themselves
of the opportunity TO learn from 50
competent a teacher. She is now
ready to receive pupils and will begin
her work at once. She will give a
recital in the Lear future Miss Will
liams has a most pleasing personality
and she will be desirable ad iltlon
to our town socially as well as music
ally.
