The Trial of Mayor Sehmitz Adjourned at
 a Most Interesting Stage
The Former Boss Was Asked If He Had Not Divided the French Restaurant SpOils With His Former Friend.

San Francisco. June 11.-No serial editor ever cut off a tale at a more ;aRtaliZing point than that selected by circumstances this afternoon for the closing of Mayor SchmitZ's eXtortion tTIal for the day. The prosecution had faaneuVered the eleventh hour sensa- tioa by calling Euef to the stand in re- buttal To contradict the denials made by the maYor on the witness stand earlier in the day; and the fallen boss had opened his lips tb answer the question: Did you pay half this eNtor- ton money to Schmitz?" when the
 defense launched an objection, the determination of which was still in doubt when an overnight adjournment vas taken.
 Former Judge Campbell, senior counsel for the defense. called SchmitZ ,e testify in his own behalf as the second witness of the day. The mayor mounted the witness stand shortly be- fore II o'clock, and occupied it more than an hour. during a considerable portion of which time opposing cOun- sel was wrangling over the right of the prosecution to ask the mayor whether Ruef divided with him any oi the fees alleged to have been paid by him for protection bys the French restaurant keepers.
 The mayor himself exhibited eager ness to waive the technicalities of the law and answer squarely the issue. This he did again and again. by abrupt and unqualified denials after Camp bell had withdrawn his instructions to his client not to answer at all.
 Judge Dunne warned the mayors counsel not to give such instructions. but Campbell. couching his retort in the most courteous language. said he would disregard the mandate of the court, even if it led to a sentence for contempt. Such a contingency was avoided. however, largely through the seeming eagerneSs of the mayor to give Mir. Heney an answer for every qCestion put.
 The defense, whose day this was for the introduction Of evidence. called only four witnesses and the direct ex- animation of each went to the eStab- lishment of two points only: First. to overthrow the testimony of former Po- lice Commissioner Reagan that the mayor had attempted to use 1-'--- as hOld-up tool to force the French res 1aurant men to come through" with protection money to Ruef: second, to prove that the holding up of the French restaurant licenses .was the result of a labor union plot to ruin the business because some of them refused to yield complete obedience to rh ha of
 A few minutes before three o'clock, the defense announced that it rested. The prosecution. after a fruitless wait If nearly half an hour for a missing witness who was desired. called Ruef fhe mayors former political partner mad been brought by two guards from the prison house on Fillmore street and taken to chambers by back way

 Carrying out line Or testimony tending to show that orchard was frequently without funds. the defens- showed that from late in 1903. until the middle of 1904 orchard continual ly drew strike relief at Cripple Cr,~k and then the defense dramatically in- vited orchard tO explain the inconSist- ency to the juty Orchard replied that Haywood.

 The examinati0n next covered the early attempt on the life of Governor Peabody. the manufactuF. of bombs to kill him and plots against Judges Gabbart and Goddard with an effort everywhere to tighten and cast doub- upon the testimony Of the s-tness Orchard told the dramatic story of the first attempt tO assassinate Peabody an early morning drive through the snow to place the bomb. the expectSnr wait for the victim who was spared bv the unexpected appearance of two coal wagons that were coming from an al- ley and were driven across the trig- ger string at the moment Peabody was crossing the mine field.
 Orchard brought Mrs. Steve Adams into play today He said that while he and Adams were watching Judg. GOddard's house Mrs Adams went with them a couple of times as a blini to divert suspicion Mrs. Adams who had a seat among the witnesses laugh ed when Orchard told the incident. Orchard. who confesses that he hesi- tated at no great crime and took hun dreds of desperate chances in those committed made an interesting contri- button to psychological study when he called himself a coward. He said h. was too cowardly to kill Judge Cab hart openly. and hs regarded all his acts as cowardly.

Two More Days at Least Will be Spent by the Defense In the Effort to BeclOud the Assassin's Testimony.

Boise. Idaho. June 1.-The attack of HaywOod's defense on the testi- mOny of Orchard goes on unremitting- ly and the witness probably will be continued on the stand two full days more. Orchard withstands the strain with remarkable fortitude and at the end O: six days shows no indication If mental or physical fagging
 This day was begun with the story of the dynamiting of Fred Bradley in san Francisco. and the defense made a long and determined effort 10 ex- pose several features of il to doubt and Vitiate it all by revealing the hand of the PinkertOns. Then the play went back to Denver for the winter of 1904. and the spring of that year followed and there was an extended effort to show that Orchard had practically no com munication with the leaders of the federation. that he received no pay for the Bradley crime or anything else and that with Adams. in a period of ex- treme poverty extending over several months was reduced to the necessity of stealing sheep from the Globeville stOckyards that they might have food.
 Orchard, to a laughing court room seriously confessed that he stole sheep. but stouuy denied that it was because of want. He insisted that all through -the supposedly hard winter and spring he continued to draw mon ey from Pettibone through Adams and explained that if he did not see the federation leaders often. u was be- cause he was lying To wtO evade cap ture for previous crimes.
 The Globeville inquiry developed more shocking crimes. There was 9 diabOlical plot-Orchard swOre inspir- ed by Max M3lich. ard the defense claimed that orchard was it's author to dynamite boarding house where 150 non-union men lived. and in pre- paration for the murder.

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery ~ Years--Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In.
Manufactured by Cuticura.

II wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery passed with
my son. AS an infant | noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger I put him under the care
Of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
Of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse 1t became. Dur
ing the day 1t would get rough and
form like scales At night 1t would
be cracked, inflamed, and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When I think Of his suffering.
1t nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering Of my son made me
full of misery. had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave 1t up
for a bad job. One evening saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
full Cuticura and decided to give 1t a
trial. Itell you that Cuticura Ointment
Is worth it's weight in gold, and when
l had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time had used the second set
Of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein
