GranaInother seeks ohiId.

Claiming to be sptrttualistic me- dium, Mrs. Halleck. grandmother or Wilma Burnett Halleck the young daughter of Conductor Frank B8rnett. recently killed on the South Ensley car line, took the stand Wednesday in the trial now being carried on before Judge Samuel E. Greene of the Pro bate Court for the possession of the child, and related strange things that had come to her Knowledge by uncom- mon means.
 Mrs. HalIeck testified that she had asked the spirit of the dead woman if her child should be left with MT. and Mrs. HalIeck. The reply had been three knocks signifying 'yes." She had again asked her If the child should be given into the possession of Mrs .. Burnett, It's paterna1 grandmother. The answer had been a dead silence,
 The witness went further in her statements and testified that a table had sat In the lap of Mir. HalIeck. showing that his dead daughter loved him best.
 The fight for the possession of the child was instituted by persons who contended that Mrs. Halleck was not the proper party to rear it on account of her spirituaIistic beliefs. Mrs. Hal leck admitted these beliefs in' court and confounded the lawyers by search Ing questions which she asked them l She said she believed not in spiritual | ism but in spiritism. She quoted 1 volubly from the Bible fin support oi her conviction.
 All the witnesses in the case will be examined Wednesday, and Judge Greene will probably reach a decision as to who gets possession of the child

JAPANESE GUILTY
Of HOMICIDE

Iwatura Katzuro was found guilty
yesterday by a jury in Judge Dunne's
court of murder in the second degree
for the killing of Schigi Hamaya on
March 2S of last year at the door
way of 514 Pine street. The jury re-
turned It's verdict after being out an
hour and a quarter. March 28 was
set by Judge Dunno as the date for
sentence.
The evidence showed that Katzuro
and Hamaya had gone with another
Japanese, S. e. Ikeda, to the house
in question, and that Ikeda went to
the door leaving his companions
standing in the street in front of the
house. Katzuro and Hamaya had quar-
relied previously, and renewed their
trouble while Ikeda was away from
them. The latter returned in time to
hear a shot and see Katzuro fire twice
more at the fleeing form of Hamaya.
witnesses testified that Hamaya was
shot the first time as he lay on the
sidewalk, where he had been thrown,
and twice more as ne ran away, all
three shots entering his back. The
defendant declared that Hamaya had
attacked him first and cut his cloth
ing in several places with a knife
in an attempt to stab him, but that
he finally succeeded in throwing his
opponent and shot him In self-de-
tense as he started to get up again.
Policeman Mcmahon, who arrested
Katzuro declared that the defendant
had no holes or knife slashes in his
coat at the time he was searched. but
that they were evidently put there
afterward.

HOUSE SHATTERED
BY EXPLOSION

A defective gas main caused a seri-
Gus explosion yesterday which partly
wrecked the new two-story brick
structure at 825 Washington street.
The shock seriously injured All Wong.
a Chinese tenant, and wounded Joseph
Mitchell, Morris Reagan and David
Gotilli, laborers who were working on
the lower story of the building. The
Chinaman sustained a fractured skull.
Neighbors claimed that gas had been
escaping in the vicinity in considerable
quantities for two days. The meter in
the building was turned off Wednes-
day, as 1t was believed the leak might
be due to defective plumbing. The
evil was not improved and gas ac-
cumulated in the building and was
ignited either by the Chinese tenants
of the upper story or by the workmen,
who were installing a sink in the store
on the first floor.
The report was heard for several
blocks and crowd quickly gathered.
The entire front of the building was
cracked. The building was owned by
N. A Gosliner and leased to Tie Fung.
an Oakland merchant. Gosliner will
bring action against the gas company
for damages. 1t is thought $4,000 will
repair the structure.

JAMES MITCHELL
WINS A POINT
Witness Favors Father Who
Is Suing Steamship Com
pany for Death of His Son
CONTENTION

The defense in the case of James
Mitchell against the California and
Oregon Coast Steamship Company, aris-
ing from the explosion on the steamer
Despatch a year ago, lost point yes
terday when Thomas Connors, a ship
wright, who was working on the ves-
sci at the time of the accident de-
clared on the witness stand that the
falling of a plank from the deck of the
steamer did not break the steam gauge
and cause the explosion.
Mitchelps suit was brought to re-
cover $4,000 for the death of his son,
who was working on the vessel as
boiler cleaner at the time of the ex-
plosion. The trial was begun before
jury, but the jury was dismissed two
weeks ago because of alleged jury
tampering by certain witnesses for the
steamship company, and Judge Gra-
ham agreed to hear the remaining evil
dence and decide the suit without
jury. The case was resumed before
him yesterday, but after the hearing
of a small amount of testimony was
postponed until Monday morning at II
o'clock.
The principal reason for the continu-
ance of the case was the absence of
Captain e. F. Hough, supervising engi-
neer of the California and Oregon
Steamship Company, who is wanted as
witness by the prosecution. Hough
is now in the East, and Attorney Ste
phen Costello declared openly in court
yesterday that he believed his absence
to be due to design on the part Of the
defense in their anxiety to keep him
beyond the Jurisdiction of the local
courts. Costello further declared that
If Captain Hough's testimony was not
introduced in this case he stood ready
to take advantage of the rule permit
ting him TO apply to the court that
the testimony of the absent witness be
considered as adverse to the defense.
The reason that Hough is so badly
wanted is that in his testimony before
the Federal inspectors he declared that
If safety lights had been in use on the
vessel the accident would in all proba-
bility not have occurred. He also tes-
titled before the same body that In
spector of Hulls and Boilers Bolger
had insisted several times that safety
lights be placed in use on the Despatch.
but that some one higher in authority
than Bolger had revoked the order,
or at least had failed to have it prop
erly enforced.
The defense has attempted to show
through several witnesses that the ex-
plosion was due to the falling of a
plank 1t contends broke the steam
gauge on one of the boilers, and that
it did not result from the faulty con-
dition of the boilers and machinery or
the negligence of its officers in allow
ing open lights to be carried by the
small boys at work in the boiler room.
Connors' testimony was direct refu-
tation of this evidence. He declared
that he himself had hold of the plank
Just before the explosion, and that 1t
did not drop on the steam gague, but
was lowered carefully into the boiler
room. He was positive in his assertion
that the fall of the plank did not cause
the explosion.

ORDERS BIG BOND
FROM COMPANY
Supervisors Take Step to
Hasten Conversion of
the Union Street Line
PROTEST CONSIDERED

The Supervisors judiciary commit
tee decided yesterday not to grant
the Presidio and Ferries Railway
Company an extension of time TO
complete the conversion of the Union
street cable road into an overhead
trolley system until bond in a sub-
stantial amount has been given. The
amount of the bond was not fixed.
but Supervisor Gallagher thought
100000 would be proper figure to
insure the rapid completion of the
road.
The action noted was taken as the
result of a protest filed by property
owners in the vicinity of Steiner and
Lyon streets against granting any
extension of time unless service we're
given to the westerly end of Union
street
Secretary ]. B. leighton of the
company agreed to lay the decision
of the committee before George New
hail. president of the company. Leigh
ton said $4,000 had been expended
already on nine blocks of the road.
and the rails for the rest of the svs-
tenn were on the way.
Gallagher said the committee would
insist on a definite statement as 10
the time necessary to complete the
work.
A number of the protestants were
heard in support of their plea for
immediate car service
