SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 17-AIiss Jean Sanley, formerly of Portland Ore, told jury trying Edmond Mur- py here today of attacks on herself and on Miss Jessie Montgomery of Reno. New. which indirectly have caused the killings of six men and have aroused public sentiment here to a high pitch.
 Murphy is the first of five alleged gangsters accused of the attacks to 50 to trial.
 Much of Miss Stanley's testimony was devoted to the efforts she made to protect Miss Montgomery from Mur- phy and the others. Besides the four men held here Miss Stanley said George Boyd, lynched with two others at Santa Rosa. Cal, as a result of the killings of three peace officers, had participated in the attacks.
 Elaborate plans to protect Murphy and hts companions from mob violence again were maintained today Chinese boys who set off a string of fire crackers in the street near the Hall of Justice late today caused d furry oi excitement and a suspension for a few moments of the girls testimony. Miss Stanley, a slight girl of attrae- tive appearance, answered the ques- tions propounded slowly and deliber- ately. Her tears and persuasions, she said, resulted in her being spared from the most of the shameful indlgnities she said were inflicted on Miss Mont gomery.
 Her description of the night of hor- TOT in the vice shack where the at tacks occurred, of her escape and sub sequent return with the police. and of the condition of Miss Montgomery, was narrowing in the extreme.
