Emma Quinones did anything like that
she showed herself the most ignorant
of mortals, for If Mrs. Corwell wore a
white hat that night would not a white
hat have been taken to the Jail instead
of this black one?
And the white hat is a mystery.
The district attorney is astounded.
Where is it?' he asks, and replies, oh.
Emma Quinones has taken it,"
Turning to Mrs. Corwell's cousin, he
cried: Emma, bring out that white
hat; give 1t to Mr.. Beach and let him
keep it forever" and declared that had
he produced white hat the prosecu-
ton would have come forward with y

IF you believe this woman was in

the shooting was accidental you are
entitled to acquit her, but If you be-

this shooting was not an accident then
you should hang her.

Vessels viii Be Laid of and Crews

Thousand Men Are

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-The
fight between the Marine Engineers
Association and the steam schooner
owners Is now on in dead earnest, the
committee which controls 30 per cent
of the total number of steam vessels
carrying lumber to and from this port
and other ports on the Pacific coast,
having today decided to lay up every
one of these vessels with the excep-
tion of the steam schooner Westport.
which will carry foodstuffs exclusively
to Crescent City.
The committee of engineers pre-
scented it's communication to the COM
mittee of owners this morning, re-
fusing to meet the terms of the ulti-
matum presented by the owners At
ter being in session nearly all day,
the owners committee decided to lay
off the vessels.
Five steam schooners which were
scheduled to sail today were taken
over to Oakland creek and tied up and
the crews discharged. AS fast as the
vessels reach this port and their
cargoes are discharged they will be
laid up.
Nearly 1000 men in all will be af-
fected by the action of the owners
and 1,500,000 feet OF lumber week Will
cease to be handled through this port
The effect will be, 1t is thought, to
cause an increase in the price of lum-

lowing laudanum, as evidence, he de-
clared, of insanity.
The attorney told of the home life
of the defendant at the Venice apart
ment house. as given in the testimony
of her cousin, Miss Emma Quinones
"They lived together there, Bennett
and this poor woman" he said land
if you do not believe the testiomny of
Miss Quinones, there are other reput-
able citizens who have told of the
incidents in her married life there,
of how she scrubbed the floors, cooked,
washed and ironed, while hobbling
about on a crutch.
"Does the automobile girl with her
fancy frills and laces and her rich
gowns do that? No, oh no. But she
did. She was of the common people,
from the territory of Arizona.
Produces Clothing
"While the prosecution has brought
somebody here to say that Bennett s
laundry was taken from the Hunt
house, not a scrap of that clothing has
been produced. We have brought
clothing of this man, taken from the
rooms occupied by himself and this
defendant. They have brought none
they have none"
"Estelle Corwell has never uttered
one word against this man." continued
Appel. "She has not gone on the stand
to stain the memory of her sweetheart.
She has given nothing to aid her coun-
sci and if she goes to her death she
will never say one word against the
man she loved"
lie reviewed the testimony of DR..
Joseph w. Kurtz. who was called by
| the defense as an expert in nervous
diseases, and contrasted 1t with the
| statements of DR.. George w. Campbell
and asked: docs it not look peculiar
that in this case. after the killing of
George T. Bennett-if she did kill him,
which I doubt-that physician should
be sent to examine her for her sanity?
Is this done in every case of murder,
arson or robbery? Would this have
been done had there not been suspi-
cion in the minds of someone that her
mind was unbalanced?"
Referring to the testimony of Detee-
tives Ziegler and Hosick, Appel began
the recital of incidents in another trial
in which he acted as counsel. He was
interrupted by Blair who protested
that his statements could not properly
be included in the argument.
"I am simply giving an example of
how evidence is manufactured, de-
clared Appel. land of how 1t has been
manufactured in this case. Oh, how
counsel fears that l may make myself
in my power to leave these scenes of
sin and perjury l would do so.
Appel then pictured the incidents
surrounding the killing of Bennett as
he believed they occurred. Calling to
voung woman sitting nearby he
placed the revolver which Mrs.
Corwell had carried into her hand.
Bennett, he declared, grasped the wrist
of the defendant and the first shot was
fired directly upward, the bullet pass
ing through her hat Drawing the
young woman's arm forward in illus
tration of an effort to get possession of
the weapon, he bowed his head until 1t
was on line with the muzzle of the
pistol, and declared the second shot
was discharged in the struggle and
that the bullet entered Benefits head.
Blame Pencil
"They say 1t was pencil that made
those holes in that hat" he exclaimed.

WANTS ORDER REVERSED !
AWARDING DAMAGES
Sailors on Vessel Captured by Japan
csc Declare They Suffered
Hardship and Receive
5000 Each
Rv Associated Press.

Rv Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2o.-Argu-
ment was heard in the federal circuit
court of appeals by Judges Gilbert
Ross and Morrow today, in the appeal
of the Northwestern Steamship COM
pany from the decision of District
Judge Hanford of Seattle, which
awarded 5000 in damages to each of
thirty-eight sailors of the steamer Ia
coma.
These men were shipped at Seattle,
January 2, 1905, for a voyage to Vladi-
vostok with cargo of sailed meats,
ostensibly for a merchant of that city,
but in reality for the Russian govern
ment. They were overhauled by Jap
anese cruiser which seized the Tacoma,
put a prize crew aboard and took her
to Yokohama. =
The sailors brought suit for $4,000
each as damages for hardships suffered
and Judge Hanford awarded them 5000
each.
From this judgment the steamship
company took an appeal and In the
argument today contended there was
no violation of contract made in hir-
ing the men; that the course of the
voyage was not deviated from and
that the men suffered no damage from
hardship other than that incident to
the occupation of a seafaring life.

FLINT WILL OFFER
NEW RESOLUTION

from the city council direct, along sim
liar lines; and
1--WE also suggest that the council
take this matter up at once by wire
with its representative in Washington,
requesting full information as To the
status of this bill and defining, If pos
sible, the character of efforts which
should be made to eliminate the objec-
tionable features"
Corporations Time Action
That the Southern Pacific corpora
ton timed it's action for purpose Is
deduced from the fact that only a few
weeks ago Coils. Lockwood and Leach,
the army engineers, were here, and
afetr talking to representative men,
advised immediate work on the harbor
scheme.
Evidently the railroad and allied in
terests, expecting to block any move
by the engineers, determined to head
off action by having resolution with
joker put through congress.
The carefully worded resolution, No
"a, would have put the key of the sit
uation into the corporations hands, as
Washington would make no move In
future until requested by the shore line
owners-the corporations-who best
interests lay in delay.
The Wilmington chamber of COM
merce has mailed an emphatic letter
to Senator Flint, saying in part:
mo doubt you are aware that the
owners of the aforementioned lands
are the Southern Pacific company the
San Pedro, Los Angeles &c Salt Lake
Railroad company, the Banning COM
pany and the city of Wilmington, a
majority of the land being held by the
three aforementioned corporations
and not by the city of Wilmington.
"The above phraseology could be
construed in such a manner that the
city of Wilmington might never be able
to get harbor lines covering the terri
tory owned by her.
"At the present time the city is In
the midst of proceedings whereby. II II
Is the wish of the voters of Whining
ton, this city will improve 200 feet OF
water frontage by dredging, bulkhead-
ing and filling in-every foot of which
will be public wharfage and not under
the control of the Southern Pacific
company.
with this letter we are forwarding
you a map of the harbor here, which
you may keep for, your guidance, ano
we respectfully request that you with
draw the resolution introduced in the
senate February II, 1908, by yourself
and take the necessary steps as soor
as possible during the present congress
to have the harbor lines established ir
the entire inner darbor of San Pedro
known as Wilmington bay, without any
reference to property owners in OF
abutting on the bay"
