The Retort Sarcastic.

London Answers: Mr.. Buggins, the
grocer, may not have been the soul
of honor and integrity and maybe
there was reason to believe that short
weight and the selling of inferior
goods had provided him with the
wherewithal with which to buy the
motor car and other Injuries he kept.
Still, Mr.. Buggins was not such a
fool as deliberately to sell bad kip
pers. Besides, he happened, without
a doubt, to be the leading rocer in
the town. Hence, perhaps, it was
rather foolish of old Jones, when he
had returned and denounced rhe
aforesaid kippers. openly to denounce
Mr.. Buggins also. Yet he did SO.

swindler, l say, and I'll never enter

Mr.. Buggins said nothing. Though
he smiled slightly when Jones came
back next day to buy five pounds of

had decided to deprive me of your

OF COURT
Albert Cash Created a Disturbance in
the Police Court Yesterday
During a Hearing.

There was a curious as we'll as un-
pleasant occurrence in the trial of the
Syrians and Russians yesterday before
Judge Miller on a charge of having en-
gagged in a religious war down ON
Front street.
There was a woman or the stand
giving her testimony when Albert
Cash took offense at something she
said, and in. a loud voice he called her
a liar with an ugly preface to the title.
He was warned to be quiet and vas
told by the court that he was in a
court of justice and must conduct
himself accordingly. At this Cash
spoke up and told his honor that he
guessed he could say what he wanted
to nj was extremely insulting.
He was given twenty-four hours in
the cooler and the term ended at 4
o'clock this afternoon. .

 On direct examination Williams said that an effort had been made to dis suade him from taking the stand but he said the effort was not made by the attorneys for the defense or by onyone pretending to represent them.
 The rest of the testimony on both was fragmentary and was apparently put in for the purpose of gathering up the loose ends of the case

 Most of the character witnesses were from the Black Canyon of Yavapai county and they all agreed that Faiths character g a peaceable and quiet ci- tizen was lad. on cross examination it was brought out that some of them had worked for Faltin anu had been fired
 Nick Pomero and his wife were brought back to deny the tale of Fal- tin of their part in the killing of Peter son and the events subsequent thereto Dr. Wylie was summoned to testify to the physical condition of Taitin when he examined him in jail. a short time after his arrest. This testimony was to disprova the statement of the defen- dant that he had been assaulted, knocked down by Romero and beaten. He had also described the character of his wounds
 Dr. Wylie said that he had caused Faltin to De stripped and he mad exam ined him rninutely from the top of his head to his heels. He had found no confusion, no abrasion or any swelling On the opposite sides of the fingers of one hand and were marks each about an inch and a half in length which were in process of healing. The doctor was asked by County Attorney Lyman if the character of the wounds had suggested to him the manner in which | they had been received. The witness replied that the wounds alone offered no suggestion but the circumstances surrounding the affair, taken with the wounds might suggest the manner in which they had been inflicted. Ob- 1 jections bv the defense stopped fur ther investigation along this line which 1 if pursued would probably have brought out an opinion that FaItin had been bitten.
 It had been the contention of the state that while Peterson was fighting for his life he had bitten Faltin. Louis | Beckton said that Faltin told him that Peterson had bitten him while he was beating him to death and Faltin him. self on direct examination stated that when Peterson who with Romero and the unknown Italian was pursuing him he grabbed him with such eagerness that he seized his fingers with his 1 mouth.
 Later in sur-rebuttal. the defense put
 Dr. Plath on the stand. He said that
 he had recently examined Fdltin in the
 jail and had found several scars which
 appeared to have been the result of
 recent injuries

MARSH ID DRAW
 SCHOOL PLANS

When the sale of the $200,000 school bonds is effected on February r. the trustees of school district No l will be in possession of com piete set of plans for the first build ing it is proposed to construct. Nor
 man F. Marsh, of Los Angeles, who
 drew the plans for the new high school buildings as well as of the
 Mesa high school was in the city for
 two or three days and he accepted
 the commission to draught the plans
 for the structure winch will probably

 awarded tentatively. contingent upon the sale of the bonds.
 In a general way the new building will be a counterpart of the Adams school, although the use of the pres ent building has shown some slight points where it is believed alterna- tions will increase the usefulness of the structure It is probable that the entire structure will cost about | $10,000, although the plans will call | for a s90,0O0 structure.
 As soon as the bonds have been disposed of, armed with plans which will likely be so familiar to the l trustees by that time that but little | time will be required in deciding up- on their adaptibility. bids will be | asked for from contractors for the
 erection of the proposed structure. 1 Just how long will be required to be- gin work and complet the structure | is not known but it is probable that l it will hardly be in readiness for i occupancy during the next school year.

 board has had in mind for some time. It is felt that the need of the
 southern portion of the city are daily

MURDER STORY
 FINALLY TOLD
Last of the Testimony in the Trial of William Fal- tin in. Arguments Will Begin Thds Morning.
 Case Goes to Jury Today

The fate of William Faltin, charged with the murder of Carl Peterson will be with the jury which for the last two weeks has been listening patiently to the oft told horrible story of the events at Faiths place on South Seventh avenue on the morning of September g.
 The last of the evidence, that of the state in rebuttal and that of defense in sur-rebuttal was put in late yester- day afternoon when a recess was taken. until this morning. When court recon venes the argument for the state will be opened by Assistant County Attor ney Candy. He will be followed by MT. Fisher for the defense and the argument will then be closed by Coun- ty Attorney Lyman.
 Interest in the trial has been growing day by day. It's growth has been steadily measured by the larger and earlier crowds in the court room. Each day has brought out larger number of eager faced women. The court room began filling yesterday morning before the janitor had finished removing the debris of the day before. Some of the women brought their lunches with them in order that they might be sure of their places in the afternoon session.
 The proceedings of yesterday were tedious. The cross examination of the defendant was resumed but there was little to add to what had been brought out the day before. Toward the last. Faltin frequently turned to the court to make long explanatory answers to questions by which the cross examiner had expected to bring out "yes' or a no" In the course of the examina- = tiOn Faltin denied that he had made any admission to Harry Williams in the jail that he had murdered Peterson
 At the c,Cse of the cross examination the defense announced that it had closed it's testimony in chief and sev. eral witnesses were put on by the state in rebuttal. It again became apparent as it has perhaps always been ihat there ought to be an institution knowr as a might school for character wit nesses." or else the form of the ques- tiOn shOuld be modernzed.
