The rebels are in the hills within

Judge at Former Trial
Is to Be Called in
Notorious Case

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec pa half
dozen other Will contests today held
off the Baldwin Turnbull case in the
superior court until afternoon and
served TO give Mrs. Lillian Turnbull
a few hours OF respite before the
renewal of her examination. II was
announced that before night the case
would be adjourned until after the
beginning OF the new year.
Attorneys for Anita Baldwin Turn
bull Will place a few more witnesses
on the stand to prove that the girl is
daughter OF Baldwin, and the de-
Tense will then launch its efforts tc
prove that her mothers sworn state
ments concerning Lucky Baldwin 9
alleged contract Of marriage to her
were perJured testimony.
Foundations for this purpose were
partly laid in the closing hours OF
the session yesterday. When the turn
of the defense comes after the hol-
idayS, former Judge Charles Slack OF
San Francisco. who was the presd.
Ing judge In the seduction case
against Baldwin. will be called in an
attempt 10 prove that all the main
points of Mrs. Turnbulls testimony In

the court officers who had anything
TO do with the exhibits offered In ev-
idencc during Mrs. Turnbulrs unsuc-
cessful $4,000 seduction suit i'm 1896

OF Judge Slack
Nearly all the exhibits consist of
letters alleged to have been written
by Mrs Turnbull. In the former trial,
according TO the record. she admitted
them to be genuine. but In the pres
ent case she has branded virtually all
ot them as forgerles or doctored in
