ANSELMO MAY KNOW
FATE BY CHRISTMAS
Case of Griffiths's Slayer Ex-
pected to Go to the Jury
Next Wednesday.

Indications are that John Anselmo,
on trial In the district court for the
killing of Patrolman Thomas Z, Grif-
fiths, will learn his fate from the jury
either Christmas eve or Christmas day.
The defense expects to conclude It's
case Monday, arguments to the jury
will require all of Tuesday and part OF
Wednesday and tho case will be given
to the jury in all probability Christmas
eve.
Continuing its insanity plea, the de-
fense took all of yesterday in introduc-
ing additional testimony to show the
prevalence of epilepsy aud insanity in
the Anselmo family and its indications
in the defendant himself, Examination
Of witnesses is a tediously slow process,
owing to the fact that every word has
to be obtained through the medium of
an interpreter.
The chief witness yesterday was
Frank Anselmo father of the defend.
ant, who told of his sons affIiction
with epilepsy from the time Of his ear.
liest childhood. He said that his son
had improved after coming to America
from Italy. but that the epileptic at
tacks had occurred not infrequently
during his later years.
1t is the contention of the defense
that Anselmo shot the officer while in
an epileptic fit and that he was not
conscious of his crime at the time.

WATERMAN BREAKS
ON SOUTH TEMPLE
Cause of Trouble Is Mystery ;
Many Patrons Being
DISCONNECTED.

a break in the Waterman at South
Temple and E streets, the cause of which
is puzzling the waterworks department,
released flood Of water into the
street and down through the heart of
the block to the south. It was nearly
two hours after the waterworks de.
partmcnt was notified that employees
arrived on the scene to shut off the
water. in the meantime, the water was
filing garages, barns and cellars and
doing damage TO an extent which can
not as yet be determined.
The water was first seen to shoot out
Of the sidewalk on the northeast cor
ner of E and South Temple streets.
Shortly after, however, it burst out in
two or three places in the lawn be-
tween the sidewalk and the street on
the opposite side of South Temple
When asked for an explanation OF this
an employee of the water department
said that the break WAS evidently IN the
main on the north side of the street
but that the water had seeped under the
pavement across the street and burst
out of the first soft ground it encoun.
tered.
At first. it looked as though the
large garage Of G.. W. Whitley at the
corner of Fifth East and South Tenn.
pie would be completely flooded, but
by making dykes Of snow and straw
the current was turned so that it ran
south down roadway Just west Of the
Whitley property and into the heart OF
the block. There is considerab BILE open
space II the center Of the block, which
doubtless will be an excellent skating
pond today.
According to the waterworks depart
ment, the only residences that will be
affected by shutting off the water will
be the ones on the north side OF South
Temple between D and + streets Just
how long it will take to repair the
break cannot be determined, but the
department gives assurance that it will
be remedied as soon as possible.
Pedestrians .trayersing the streets
where the break occurred, frequently
went into water ankledeep. One
woman, elegantly gowned. was endeav
oring to cross the sidewalk on the
south side of South Temple to reach the
car. She tried to ford in two or three
places, but finally, giving up the at
tempt, called to some boys to ferry
her across On their sled. Just as thu
sled reached the middle of the side
| walk, where the water was the deep
est, it upset, precipitating the passenger
into the depths. She was compelled tc
return home completely drenched Will

This phase OF thdiHntter was brought
up by G.. r. Walker. .facommissioncr. who
said that II concrete roads OF the width
would be much trouble with that class OF
farmers who like 20 stick to the center
OF the road and hold UP all traffic behind

Another matter considered yesterday
was that or flushing the concrete roads

report, though the commissioners believe
the roads would have TO be flushed al
most as regularly as the city pavements.

Spirit of Yuletide Causes An.

Gifts.

-HE spirit OF Christmas was in the
air yesterday. Perhaps not eX-
acuy the Christmas spirit. but TO
Il be more precise. the pref Christ
mas spirit. For 1t was the Joy
Gus, tirinG, annual Yuletide rush. Tho
sort OF rush that makes the shop girl
wish she were far up In the hills; that
makes the shopper take the annual vow
that next year she isn't going to buy
any Christmas presents the Christmas
spirit that brings forth the exclamation
that Christmas comes but once year,
and Its inevitable appendix-"thanl good
ness!'
The weather was Just right too. 1t
was crisp and snappy, The fir trees that
stood around waiting for someone to buy
them and take them home 10 dress In
holiday attire seemed to bristle out their
needles as II to drink in plenty of the
chilly air There was snow on the
ground. enough for sle!sh!ng. so that an
occasional sleigh bell enlivened the hum
OF busy holiday activity.
