NEW POINT IN FRISCO MURDER,
Brush Found With Which Blood Was
Washed Out.

San Francisco, April 13.-The only
new point developed in the Vilardo
murder case is the discovery by the
police of the store where Torturisi
bought the whitewash brush which
1t is alleged he used in painting out
the bloody evidence of the crime. 1t
turns out that at the time 1t was pur-
chased the police with bloodhounds
were encircling the block in which
the murder was committed.
The time of the purchase of tn
brush shaws that Torturisi must have
whitewashed the blood splashed walls
as late as hours after he is suppos-
ed to have committed the murder.

MOTION FOR NEW WEBER TRIAL
Defendant Looked Worn and Pale
and Was Weak.

Auburn, Cal, April 13.-Adolph
Weber, convicted of the murder of his
mother, and who is also accused of
i'the murder of his father, brother
and sister, appeared In court today
for sentence. When the case was
called the prisoner was asked to
stand up by the court. He looked
pale and worn and had to be lifted
to his feet by the sheriff. The defend
ants attorney filed numerous affi-
davits to support a motion for a new
trial.
At 2:30 the attorney is still argu-
ing. The prosecution has intimated
its side does not deem 1t necessary to
file counter affidavits to anything
thus far brought out by the defense.
In that event Judge Prewett may dis
pose of the motion today and It is
freely predicted he will refuse to
grant a new trial and will probably
pronounce the death sentence.

At the meeting of the council last
night the question of macadamizing
the business streets of the city was
agaIh discussed, and though no ac-
ton was taken, the matter is now in
such shape that the Improvement will
undoubtedly be ordered.
During the meeting it developed
that the council has power under the
law to order the work done. Then,
should the property owners be op-
posed to the improvement. two
thirds of them must demonstrate to
the council in writing within 10 days
after the work has been ordered.
Rhould such O remembrance not ap-
pear the city may proceed with the
work, and collect the cost from the
owners.
When the above was made known
II was taken by the council as being
the proper way to handle the matter,
and when the macadamizing is order
ed II will likely be without waiting
for a petition from property owners.
though II will be subject to their re-
imonstranoe.

Walla Walla, informed the council in
regard to the work at that place. Ac-
,cording to him the city furnished the
roller and one rock crusher when the
work was done, though they we're
operated by the contractors. The
cost OF the macadamizing in Walla
Walla varied from 81 to $1.25 per
foot front for each side of the street.
In Athena the cost was So cents per
foot, as the rock was much more ac-
,oessible.
In view of the fact that the rock
at walla Walla was secured IL miles
from the town, 1t is believed that the
expense of macadamizing here will
be much less than at that place.
Not wishing to take definite action
last night the council left the matter
with the street committee with in
,structions to further investigate and
report at the next meeting.

no doubt Il II on next Christmas Eve
my ten reindeer will be the most pow
erful ana beautiful steeds the world
has ever s~cn-'
SO Glossic and Fiossie went to the
Forest TO choose their mates. and
Claus began to consider the question
of a harness for them all.
In the end he called upon Peter
KNOCK for assistance. for Peters
heart is as kind as his body is crooked.
and he IL remarkably shrewd as well.
And Peter agreed to furnish strips of
tough leather for the harness.
This leather was cut from the skins
OF lions that had reached such an ad-
vanced age that they died naturally.
and on one side was tawny hair. while
the other side was cured to the soft
ness of velvet by the deft knooks.
When Claus received these strips of
leather he sewed them neatly into 4
harness for the ten reindeer. and it
proved strong and serviceable and
lasted him for many years.
The harness and sledge were pre-
pared at odd times, for Claus devoted
most OF his days to the making of
toys These were now much better
than his first ones had been. for the
immortals often came to his house to
watch him work and TO offer sugees-
tions. II was Neciie's idea TO make
some OF the dolls say papa" and
mamma" II was thought OF the
KNOCKS to put squeak inside the
lambs. 40 that when child squeezed
them they would say ''baa-a-a-a,'' And
the Fairy Queen advised Claus TO put
whistles in the birds. so they could be
made To sing. and wheels on the horses
SO children could draw them around.
Many animals persisted in the Forest.
from one cause or another. and their
fur was brought to Claus that he
might cover with II the small images
OF beasts he made for piaythings. A
merry Ryl suggested that Claus make
a donkey with a nodding head. which
he lid and afterward found that 1t
amused the little ones Immensely. And
% the tors grew in beauty and Attrac-
tiveness every day until they were
the wonder OF even the immortals.
When another Christmas Eve drew
near tl.csc was monster load OF beau,
tiful gifts for children ready TO I've
loaded upon the big sledge. Claus fiil-
cd three sacks to the brlm and tucked
avery corner OF the sledge box full of
toys besides.
Then, at twilight the ten reiudees
appeared. and Flossie introduced them
all to Claus. They were Racer and
