BARS SPECTATORS AT
TRIAL OF STRINGS
CROSS DIVORCE SUIT
COURT OBJECTS TO PRESENCE
OF CURIOUS PERSONS
Lord NorthIand Gives Account of Re-
Iations with Wife of Plaintiff,
and Says He Does Not
Love Her

EDINBURGH, Feb. 4.-Tired of hav-
ing his court turned into a theater filled
with curious men and women who have
come to regard the Stirling cross di-
vorce case as a lurid melodrama pro-
duced for their benefit, Judge Guthrie
today closed the doors on all except
those directly identified with the suits.
Lord Northland was on the stand all
morning. His evidence consisted large
ly of fiat denials to the statements
made by Mr.. Stirling and Mrs. Ather-
ton.
Mrs Atherton, he asserted, carried
on a conspiracy to keep Mr.. Stirling
and his wife apart. She even pressed
him to join Mrs. Stirling in America in
furtherance of her objects, but he re-
fused to go.
He attributed much of his attention
to Mrs Stirling to his efforts to cheer
her UP, particularly as she had pur-
chased a revolver and had threatened
to kill herself.
In the course of his cross -examina-
tion Lord Northland admitted he was
attached to Mrs. Stirling, but he said
he did not love her. He had not de-
termined whether or not he would
marry her if she became free.
After the hearing of minor witnesses
who corroborated the statements of
Lord Northland the taking of evidence
came to an end The attorneys will ad-
dress the court next week

AND
ROBBED IN VILE
RESORT, HE SAYS
PATRON OF "CHOWDER HOUSE
JIM" LOSES SAVINGS
ASSERTS HE WAS "DoPED" AND
HIS MONEY TAKEN
Aqueduct Miner Thought of Appealing
to Mayor, He Declares, but
Learned He Was Co
Stakeholder

N HIS is the story of Charles John
son, aqueduct laborer, and his
n experience in the notorious resort
conducted by "Chowder House" Jim
Dunno, co-stockholder with Mayor
Harper, sometimes referred to by the
Los Angeles Times as Eddie Morris
bosom friend
The tale of how Johnson was "doped"
in Powder House Jims resort, robbed
OF $50, his savings from months of hard
labor, and how he thought of com
planning to Mayor Harper until he
learned that slaughter House" jim
was a fellow stockholder of the chief
executive in one or more of the latter's
row famous corporations, was told
to the police yesterday.
Johnson first reported his sad plight
to Deputy District Attorney Paul Nc
COrmick. His trousers pockets, slashed
open by sharp edged knife, bore mute
testimony to the work of men who, too
cowardly to hold UP their victims in
the open, drug them in dives before
robbing them.
Had l known anything of the char
acter of the place l never would have
entered it,, declared Johnson yester-
day
Got Liquor Sunday Morning
johnson said that he had entered the
resort of "Chowder House Jim Dunno
with $50 in his pockets at o'clock
Sunday morning. This money he says
is the savings of four months hard
labor on the Owens river aqueduct.
He claims that at the time he entered
the place he was sober, and that one
drink of beer, which he asserts must
have been doped, put him to sleep and
he did not regain his senses until s
O'clock.
when [ came to was in the same
stall where I sat down the evening be
fore,'' said Johnson. Both my pockets
were cut open and the $50 was gone.
One waiter and a man who seemed to
be in charge were there. The women
and men who were there when ! en-
tered had gone.
"If it had not been for $35 which I
had hidden in my shoe and which they
did not find 1 would not have been able
to return to the aqueduct. / dragged
myself to my room and have been sick
ever since as a result of the dope that
I drank.
"At first I thought 1 would go to see
Mayor Harper and ask him to make
Jim Dunno pay me the money I had
lost, but I read in the papers that the
mayor and Jim Dunno were partners in
a sugar company, and so knew it was
no USE"
Detectives Investigate
''The case will be thoroughly investi-
gated said Deputy District Attorney
Mccormick, and Johnson was turned
over to the detectives for investigation.
Johnson was questioned by Sergeant
Kelly of the detective department.
There being no other evidence than the
testimony of the witness himself that
he had been robbed, and as he was un-
conscious at the time and did not know
who took the money, the matter was
dismissed.
Johnson will return to the aqueduct
to begin all over again his struggle to
save a little money, and in his heart
there is a resentment against the re-
sort which was his downfall and on
his lips curses for the administration
that permits the open existence of dens
where strangers may be f1eeced.

THE THIN AND WEAK
Easy Way for Them to Set Strong
and Fat.

To the thin and weak leading drug
gistg have a word 10 say. Let them use
Samose, the wonderful hesh-forming
food. that is now so popular, and they
viii soon be plump and rosy.
samose gives strength and health so
that after its use for a short time all
the flesh and fat producing elements in
the food viii be easily assimllated and
retained b. the body.
The large sale leading druggists have
had on Samose since they first intro
duced il in Washington and the wonder
fuI results following its use have made
them such enthusiastic believers in its
great merits. that they give their per-
sonal guarantee TO refund the money If
Samose does not make thin people fat
and restore strength and health.
When a gain in weight is noticed after
Samose has been used for a week or ten
DAYS and health has improved, and you
notice yourself growing stronger. you
certainly should feel more than satisfied
with what you have received from the
small cost OF SOC.
There may be one or two out of every
hundred who begin the use OF Samose
who are not helped as they expect. In
all these cases leading druggists viii re-
turn the money without any questions.
O'Donnelrs Drug Store has the local
agency for Samose.

The opening of the new Union Sta
