ST. PATRlcK's DAY

Juneau would not have good red blood if sine did not realize that today is St. Patrick's Day the great Irish holiiay. Per haips there is no national holiday more generally observed in the United States-except, of course, the Fourth of July-than St. Patnickis Day. The first great migration to the United States after independenee came from Ireland and the Irish have been coming ever since. And, not withstanding that they were crowded out of Ireland in the beginning by famine and oppres- sion, they came to us with laughter and a sense of humor, a virilfty and determination to make the most of things. It is not strange the infusion of Irish blood has produced marked eff feet on tho American people.
 The occasion will be observed in Juneau tonight by St. Patrick's dance to Ibc given by the Elks, at their hall, to which all good people are very cor dially invited.

Special Dispatch to The Star
AUBURN, Calf, October 10.-That
section of public interest in the far
west which follows the details of un-
usual murder cases today is centered
upon a dingy courtroom in this little
mountain town, relic of the gold days
OF 40, where an alleged cave woman
is on trial for her life.
She is Mrs. May Silva, barely five
feet tall, whose faded prettiness is
still evident despite years of hard
ship. She is charged with numbering
her husband. Richard Silva, last
March under circumstances so redo
lent of savage ferocity that, should
the state prove all it alleges, the ap-
psllation of "cave woman" would
scarcely be a misnomer.
In Woman's Apparel.
Today when Mrs. Silva appeared
In court she wore womanS apparel
fer the second occasion in seven
Years. The first was when she faced
another jury which could not agree
IN verdict. There We're on IL seven
women who voted StCadfastly for her
arnuittal.
When she was arrested az she slept
rlacidly beside the. body of the hus-
hand she admits she slew. she was
clad in ovcralls a rough denim shirt
and coarse "brogan' shoes. 1t was
all she possessed. Authorities bought
and gave her the skirt, waist, SHOES
and other feminine appurtenances
that have displaced her rougher garo
at her two trials. But each day after
court is over, she puts on the oVeralls
and denim shirt. They are more
comfortable, she says.
During her first trial Mrs. silva
testified however, that she had fired
both barrels of a shotgun into her
husbands breast az he was about 10

had been an almost daily event for
seven years.

The principal witness against her
IS Sheriff Elmer Gum of Placer coun-
". who arrested her in the little
mountain cabin, where she and Silva
had lived Awakened. and clutching
the shotgun which she had reloaded,
Mrs Silva. the sheriff testified. said
TO him.:
Are you sure he's dead? Yes, I
killed him--and if he moved I'd shoot
him again. I've wanted to do it for
seven years"
The SilvaS were married in New
York state nine years ago. Mrs. Silva
has steadfastly refused to say where,
declaring she married against her
parents wishes and that some day
she expects to go back. The Silvas
moved first to Illinois and then, seven
years ago, came to Placer county. The
beatingS, she claims, started soon
after thy had moved into their little
