witness.

EVIDENCE STRICKEN OUT
Former Senator Shortridge. attor-
ney for the defense, was on his feet in
an instant white with rage He de-
nounced the prosecution for intro
ducing such evidence into the case.
He said it was not permissible and
was only done to influence the Jury.
He asked that it be stricken from the
records and that the prosecution be
criticised for attempting. to bring such
evidence before the court.
An argument was then taken up be-
fore the court as to the permisslbility
of the evidence, while the jury was
Withdrawn from the courtroom.
The testimony was ordered stricken
out.
B. Grant Taylor, official court re-
porter, was the first witness called this
morning. He related the taking down
in shorthand of the alleged confession.
The main witness of the day was
Chief of Police Haley, who was closely
questioned as to the confessions made
90 him and Detective Starbird by Cliff
ton of the killing of George Whybark.
The cross examination was rigidlv con-
Quoted by Attorney Shortridge for the
defense. He attempted to get a state
ment from the witness that several in
ducements, including offers of reward
and the application of the third de-
gree had been made by the officers to
get Chifte2 to confess. This was de-
MED by CffFT Haley.
REPEATS HIS STORY
The morbidly curious crowd that has
packed Judge Richards courtroom
since the beginning of the Chiften trial
sat breathless when the SLAYER of
George Whybark was asked bv his
counsel to take the stand late this
afternoon.
The defendant when called unon To
make his statement gave practically the
same story that he told in the justice
court in Santa Clara. On cross exam
ination Chiften admitted that he has
gone under other names. While in
Oakland he said that he was known Al
Walter Ousley. From the tone of the
witness remarks the. conclusion was
drawn, although he would not so state
it. that Ousley is the defendants true
name.
