HELM MURDER CASE WILL
GO TO THE JURY TODAY
Sister and Mother of Accused Youths
Take Stand, but Are Not Severely
Questioned - Defense Is
Weakened

STOCKTON. June 1.-THE evidence
is all in in the Helm case and argu-
ments will begin tomorrow morning.
The defendants did not take the stand
and will rely upon the evidence In sup
port of an alibi.
Miss Anna Helm, a sister OF the de-
PENDANTS, stated that on October 30
she was employed in packing house
at Fresno and lived at her brothers
home there where she saw William
and Elmer Helm between IL and
o'clock on that day.
In the evening when she returned her
brothers were at the house. The hour
was about o'clock. She asked them
where they were going that night and
they replied, to a relatives. Miss Helm
requested the boys to allow her to ac-
company them, which they did.
Mrs. Helm, mother of the accused,
said she saw the boys on October 80,
1905. They left home about o'clock,
Elmer leaving first. Both said they
We're going to Fresno. She denied that
either of the boys was attired in
black shirt.
Neither of the women was severely
crOss-examined.
After Mrs. Helm left the stand coun-
sci asked for a short recess. During this
recess Mrs. Helm went over to her boys
and wept bitterly as she talked with
them. Her married daughter, sitting
in the courtroom with a baby on her
lap also wept.
All who testified regarding the alibi
are relatives of the boys. The rebuttal
weakened the defendants case consid-
erably.

NINE MEN REQUIRED
TO PULL TOOTH OF
C0NEY ISLAND LION
Big African Beast Suffering from
MoIar Malady Is Victim Of Novel
Dental Operation While
Tightly Bound

NEW YORK, June 17.-Extraction OF
lions tooth becomes serious when it
requires eight men for the operation
besides the man who pulls the tooth
This was an incident at Coney Island
yesterday when Vendredi a large Afri-
can lion, was relieved of one of his
largest teeth because of toothache, by
DR. Henry AIMING, jr., a New York vet
erinarian.
Vendredi had been in i'll temper for
several days and had refused to eat.
When a lion refuses food 1t rs posi-
tive indication that the animal is suf-
fering from something of an aggravat-
ing nature.
When the attention of the manager
was called to the strange behavior of
the lion he knew at once from his
years of association with wild animals
that Vendredi was suffering from tooth
ache.
In order to examine and extract the
tooth the lion had to be roped, to do
which required the services OF eight
men. Ropes were thrown around the
dangerous parts of Vendredis body, in
Guiding his legs, and in this helpless
condition the lion was pulled close to
the bars of his den. With a thick stick
its mouth was pried open, and upon
this piece of wood Vendredi chewed till
a pair of pliers was inserted behind
the back teeth, so that he could not
close his mouth, while the veterinarian
pulled the tooth.
A pair of forceps was used for the
removal of the tooth, which had ulcer
ated at the root and must have caused
the lion much suffering.

National Guardsmen and Regulars
Participate In Novel Practice and
ATTACK" on City Now Seems
Almost Certain
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 17.-Searchlights
played over the lower bay last night
from Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton,
while national guardsmen and regu-
lars engaged in the defense of New
York, against mimic enemy, ready
at the first news from Sandy Hook to
man the batteries OF huge guns and
blow the invading fleet out of the
water as soon as it got within range.
Infantrymen at the same time pa
trolled the outpost to protect the forts
from attacks in the rear, which were
expected about the time the battle with
the fleets began.
After evening parade the guards
were doubled at both forts and actual
military conditions prevailed. None
save the men in uniform could gain
admission to either encampment with
out passes. The searchlights were
flashing over the narrows from both
forts and every craft between forts
and Sandy Hook was brought out into
clear relief. The men behind the
searchlights were taking no chances of
being surprised by the enemy for lack
of illumination.
All night the lights flashed over the
bay and the soldiers, both professional
and amateur, slept lightly, ready to
jump their places at the first alarm
But the night passed quietly and day.
light came without the enemy" hav-
ing put in an appearance.
1t is almost certain now that the at
tack will be made.
Later: Tugs In Battle
The tugs representing the hostile
fleet attacking New York approached
Forts Totten and Schuyler in Long
Island sound tonight. The search
lights had no sooner revealed their
presence that the call to arms was
sounded. Immediately twelve and ten
inch guns of the batteries began to
boom.
After half an hours bombardment the
hypothetical battleship was pronounced
out of action. Twenty minutes later
two more hypothetical battleships were
theoretically sunk, and four hypotheti-
cal armored cruisers were declared to
have been put out of action. The
"warships" then withdrew. Several at
tempts to land hypothetical troops were
repulsed by the national guardsmen.
