LE DOUX CASE IS
NEAR|NG C AN END
Possible That Jury Will Disagree,
Owing to Fact That Accused Is
Woman and Testimony
Largely CircumstantiaI
BY Associated Press.


STOCKTON, June 2O.-The taking of
concluded at noon today.
1t is expected that today and tomor-
row and possibly part of Friday will
be taken up with the argument.
The trial has lasted about two weeks
and a great many witnesses have been
examined and for that reason 1T is
thought that the argument will be long
at least on the side of the prosecution,
The only witness introduced by the
defense this morning was Mrs. Mary
Head mother of the accused. She tes-
titled that her daughter had been a user
of morphine at different times for the
past four or five years, and that Nc
Vicar had tried to have her (the wit
ness) coax her daughter to marry him
again, thus indicating a divorce.
Had Made Contrary Statements
Cross examination developed that she
had made contrary statement to the
district attorney. The accused did not
testify, The prosecution put ON wit
had no morphine in jail and had not
asked for any, nor was any found in
her effects.
Expert testimony was introduced by
the prosecution to combat that intro
duced by the defense to the effect that
McVicar had died by means of carbolic
acid self administered
While the prevailing sentiment is that
| the accused is guilty, there Is some
feeling that the jury may disagree, for
various reasons, such as the fact that
the accused is a woman and the evil
dence Is largely circumstantial.

Mr.. Underwood asked if the appropria-
tlon was for the present president or
for the future president.
Mr.. Tawney replied that the aim was
to make it permanent law, and that
with the passage of this bill the point of
order against an appropriation carried
by the sundry civil bill would not lie.
James Wants Particulars
Mr. James (Kentucky) wanted to
know what official duty carried the
president abroad. isn't it true that
there is no official duty requiring him TO
leave the capital?" he asked.
Mr.. Tawney said that while he could
not recall any official duty just at pres

capital, he could easily conceive how
as commando in chief of the army and
navy he might be called upon at any
moment to travel.

Falls Into Positive DuIlness at Times
 AmaIgamated Violent.

New York, Jan. 18.-The trading in the stock market to-day most of the time was not up to yesterdays rate of activity and the market fell into posi- tive dullness at times. An excellent medium for marketing stocks was of- fered, nevertheless, and the profit-tak- ing was industriously pursued under cover of the sustaining force of the strong features of the trading. Expla- nations of the movements in special stocks were mostly of the nature of un- confirmed rumors,
 A large number of dormant industri- als and specialties were awakened into activity and made prominent advances Of the more substantial standard stocks the feature of the day was the renewal of the recent active specula- tion in Reading. This was striking counterpart of the reversion into Union Pacific and the Smelling stocks yester- day. Much of the activity in Reading was traceable to the same sources as that which accompanied its long ad- vance In the hands of the pool. The price was carried to new record above 149 Meantime there was conspicuous realizing in Union Pacific Smelting and Lead, after rising to new record prices, were also subjected to active realizing.
 Next to these movements the most prominent in the railroad list were the Gould Southwesterns. Missouri Pacific and Wabash preferred jointly led the movement, which affected minor mem- bers of the group in less degree. The generally accepted explanation of this movement was that the group has been persistently laggard throughout the prolonged speculation, which has ex- tended to almost every other part of the market.
 Great interest centered upon Amal- gamated Copper all day, as action on the dividend was expected before the market closed. The restricted move ment of the stock during most of the day suggested some measures of re- straint upon it with the purpose of de- tracting from a sensational view of the dividend meeting, The directors had mt been long in session, however, to consider the dividend action before ru- mors began to fly about the stock ex- change with potent effect upon the market movement of the stock. The general expectation was of 1s pe1 cent. dividend for the quarter but after the assembling of the directors a false rumor was put in circulation that the dividend would be placed on a pei cent. or 8 per cent, rate per annum Amalgamated Copper, which had solo as low as 11O%, shot up to 11S9s on enor' nous dealings, fell back to 112A and fuctuated violently. On the announce. ment of the dividend 1t dropped to no but closed at 11114, net decline of one. quarter per cent.
 The late break in the stock unsettled the general market and the closing tont considerably. Money continues to accu mulate at this center and interest rateI to work easier.

DON'T STOP At ANYTHING.

Becoming more desperate than
ever over the fact that the are be
ing "scooped" badly every day and
because the Sentinel is publishing
as much again local matter each
day as their sheet the crowd up on
Sixth street resorts to down right

shortcomings, Last night as an
APOLOGY for failing to get hold of the
fact that the district attorney had
lnSounced that he would dismiss
che case against Vincent St. John. the
labor leader, Old Eenvy's sheet in an
intentionally badly complicated To-
cal tried to leave the impression that
that sheet had published the item
week before the development had
taken place. 1t is to laugh. Talk
about grasping at a straw. Ten days
ago the Sentinel announced exclusi-
vely that Judge Stevens had quashed
six counts in the Indictment against
St. John, but the two remaining
counts emhody direct charge of muir
der and conspiring to murder. Three
days later following up characteristic
tactics other sheet reproduced to To-
cal from a Montrose paper stating
that these counts had been quashed
To this they referred last night. The
fact remains that the Sentinel alone
announced that the case against the
noted labor leader who was to have
been tried here had been dismissed
Notwithstanding the falsehood Old
Envy delivered himself OF last night,
and this is not the first time they
have excused themselves in the same
manner. especially of late. Those
apologies are certainly amusing.
