MRS. DUDEN'S TRIAL
TO END TOMORROW
ATTORNEY RlDICULES PLEA OF
SELF-DEFENSE
Prosecution Carefully Rehearses De-
tails of Tragedy at San Diego and
Severely Arraigns Slayer
of Shelter

SAN DIEGO, March 22-Assistant
Prosecutor Utley this morning began
his argument in the trial Of Mrs. Ellie
Duden for the murder of her brother
in-law, Bruce Sheffler. on the evening
of January 29
Attorney Utley took up the testi-
mony introduced at the beginning of
the trial and carefully rehearsed the
case the state had made.
He told how the Dudens and Sheffler
had been living in harmony until Shelf
fier's wife, who was Mrs. Duden's Sis
ter. died. leaving a rooming house full
of furniture to be divided among her
sisters and her husband, and how. af-
ter they had secured the major portion
of this estate. and were trying to "do"
SheffIer out of the remainder, the plot
to kill him was contrived.
He ridiculed the plea of self-defense,
saying the hair switch, combs. ETC..
found in the room were merely a
s.plant' to aid in the theory that Mrs.
Duden had been attacked Testimony
of witnesses for the state was rapidly
reviewed by Utley.
He was followed by Attorney Tor
rance for the defence. The case is not
expected to go to the jury before
Wednesday, morning.

DEPLORES VIOLENCE

INHUMANIIY OF RUSSIANS
SHOCKS CONGRESSMAN
Representative Bennett of New York
Submits Resolution Condemning
Atrocities countenanced
Under Nicholas

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Repre-
sentative Bennett of New York has in
troduced a resolution deploring the acts
of violence and inhumanity which, it is
said, are committed in Russia, claim
ing such acts to be shocking to the CIV
ilized world and retarding the univer-
sal progress.
In the long preamble which precedes
the resolution the United States recog-
nizes the friendly feeling between the
people and the government of this
country and those of Russia and ac-
knowledges the services of the czar in
summoning The Hague peace confer
ence.
Further, it is set forth that congress
has received a petition signed by well
known American citizens in which, on
authority of official representatives of
the Russian government, it is claimed
men, women and children-practically
noncombatants-are MANNED and
killed. prisoners are tortured in fort
resses to obtain information and massa-
cres are planned and carried out by
military and police for the purpose of
terrorizing the population.
1t Is further set forth that large
numbers of widowed, orphaned and
impoverished survivors of these mas
sacres have come to this country, many
times without natural supporters and in
great destitution."

cost the nominee of the good govern

with animation.
IF the liquor elements back McAleer
it will be without the cooperation OF
their usual allies, the Southern Pacific
machine" said city hall politician
yesterday. "The organization does moi
like McAleer. 1t fought his election ir
1904 and harassed him as much as il
could when he was in office. McAleeI
belonged to an entirely different wing
of the Republican party than that pre-
sided over by Walter Parker. He was
an integral portion of the organization
controlled by former Senator R. N
Bulla and it was due to the efforts of
Bulla and his friends that McAleer
was chosen mayor.
Opposed by Councils
zone of the ways in which the South
ern Pacific organization made Nc
Aleers official life very disagreeable
was the action of the city council dur
ing the McAleer administration, in re-
fusing to confirm his appointees to the
board of public works. Two of these
and e. T. Perkins, both close friends
of Mr.. Bulla.
But If the Southern Pacific organi-
zation hated McAleer the liquor inter-
ests had no antipathy to him, and they
had good reasons for their friendli-
ness. McAleer's police commission, the
body that controls the destinies of the
liquor interests, was composed of o.
T. Johnson and George Mason, both of
whom hated saloons like poison. But
on the other hand We're Frank James
and Charles Saddler. James was what
he called liberal and Saddler was and
is a prominent member of the Royal
Arch and the Liberal alliance. That
made the police board members equally
divided on liquor questions. but almost
invariably McAleer cast his vote with
James and Saddler and so often was
this done that McAleer, James and
Saddler were called the solid three
long before that title was used to des-
ignate certain members of the board
of SUPERVISORS"
