r. C. Egnew, j. c. Jones and W..
Mcintyre against the decision rem
dered by Judge Emmett Wilson in
favor Of the validation of the ALL
American canal contract was filed
in superior court this morning.
The document alleges errors OF
Judgment in favoring the plaintiffs,
particularly in sustaining certain
objections they raised to questions
pertaining to the canal. 1t further
claims that the court erred in its
conclusion that the secretary of the
interior, acting in that capacity for
the United States, was authorized
or empowered to execute this con-
tract. It is also alleged that the
court further erred in its conclu-
sion that this contract was or is
legal or valid, or that its execution
was authorized by law.
The bill of exceptions was signed
by Judge Wilson yesterday who
stated that it is a full, true ana
correct bill of exceptions and that
the same is settled and allowed.

severe penalties, according to a tel
egram received today by Charles r.

GRAN 7 STAY
FOR [AMS0N

SAN JOSE, Calf, Sept. 10. U.H
David A. Lamson, Stanford uni
versity intellectual convicted of
the murder of his attractive young
wife, Allene, was granted a stay of
execution today to permit his at
torneys time to prepare arguments
in support of their plea for new
trial
Superior Judge Robert R. Syer
granted a stay of execution until 2
a. m. Friday after Maurice Rankin,
defense attorney, made an oral
motion for a new trial and asked
for sufficient time to prepare ar
guments. Lamson will remain in the
San Jose county Jail until the Fri
day hearing is concluded. He then
will be transferred to San Quentin
prison.
Denial of the new trial motion,
when finally submitted, was con-
sidered a foregone conclusion. Judge
Syer was expected to reject the mo-
ton, then sentence IamSon to be
hanged, probably some time in De-
cember.
Defense attorneys then will carry
their fight direct to the state SUI
preme court, which may consider
the appeal or send it to the appel
late court. In event the courts re-
fuse to order a new trial, an ap-
peal will go to Gov James Rolph
to commute the sentence from
death to life Imprisonment.
These procedures, it was con-
ceded, would delay the execution
until next spring or later.

SIMS HEARING
STRIKES SNAG

Further proceedings against MARY.
Sims, Negress, now serving a 90
day term in the county Jail for dis
turbing the peace and resisting an
officer, struck a snag this morning
in justice of the peace court.
Insanity charges were to have
been filed against Mary and she was
brought into court this morning for
that purpose. She appeared be-
fore Judge Mayfield on scheduled
time, 10 O'Clock, but as there was
no complaint signed by any officer
which would warrant the examin-
alton getting under way, Judge May
field had to send her back to the
county Jail until that detail could
be satisfied.
Since Mary took up her lodging
at the county Jail she has made
life more or less miserable for both
her fellow boarders and attendants
by her conduct which has verged on
the riotous at times. She has torn
Up everything which could be torn
ard otherwise conducted herself in
q manner which has led officers to
believe that there must be some
thing radically wrong, someplace.
Hence the appearance in court this
morning
1t was stated by officials that the
complaint would be signed against
her probably this afternoon.

TRIAL MOVING
VERY SLOWLY
Little Progress Made In Select
ing Jury To Hear Alien Land
Law Case.

Continuing where they left off
late yesterday, attorneys in the
alien land law case now being tried
before Judge r. D. McPherrin in
superior court took up the work OF
questioning prospective jurors this
morning from a large venire cho-
sen for this term of court. At noon
today Gnere were still four of the
original l., called 20 the jury box
yesterday waiting to be questioned.
It is not anticipated that the
jury which is to serve in this case
will be chosen before the end of
the week, and it may take part of
next week to complete the panel.
This is because there are SO many
defendant groups in the case, each
with their attorneys, that the queS-
tioning of prospective jurors takes
longer than would be the case in
an ordinary action where but one
defendant is involved.
Before the trial reall got under
way yesterday afternoon, attorneys
for the defense protested against
the way in which the jury panels
had been made up. Harry Horton,
stated that the first panel of jurors
which had been listed before June
l, should be used up before the
special list of names which had
been compiled after that date could
be drawn upon.
A. C. Finney, another defense at
torney, agreed with Horton on this
point and also asked that the sup
Elementary list be kept in reserve
and not used until the former ven-
ire had been exhausted.
Judge McPherrin concurred in
this view and when upon asking
the clerk of the court whether these
names were all together in the box
from which the names are drawn
cut, discovered that they had been
placed there, ordered that they be
separated. This caused some few
moments delay but this matter was
finally adjusted satisfactorily and
the trial proceeded.
The first II names drawn to fill
the jury box were: Morton Clark
Mrs. Lucille Fahring, j. w. Smith
/ Ira c. Clark, Booth Mulvey, Mrs
Ethel Bearut, Blanche Tullos, Har-
old Ross, Roy Bellwood, Clarence
Lewis, Mrs. Virgie Price and j. B
McGrew
When these persons had taker
their seats, they with the remaining
members of the venire in the court
room were sworn by the court to
answer correctly all the questions
which might be put to them by the
attorneys in the case Then Elmer
Heald, district attorney, outlined
the action to the jurors, stating that
the trial for conspiracy to violate
the alien land laws of California
stating further that the offense is
alleged to have occurred on ranch
northwest of Calipatria on May IT,
1882.
With this the attorneys proceed
ed to question the prospective ju-
rors a task which occupied the re-
mainder of the afternoon. 1t is
not expected that a jury will be
chosen until late in the week.
