MRS. REES' SIORY OF SHOTS

Adolph HubermanDt
SHE INSISTS FIVE SHOTS WERE FIRED

tained Empty Shells.
After an adjournment from Thursdsy
morning to 2 o'clock In the afternoon on
account of the Illness of reter Mechaelsen,
one of the Jurors, the Von Haller murder
trial waa resumed before Judge Day. Dr.
Tilden had attended Mechaelsen and hla
treatment made the Juror well enough to
again take his aeat In the box. The Judge
told the Jurore they might take a walk
after aupper If that wan agreeable to all
of them, and If they felt the need of more
exercise he might even allow them boxing
glovea or other exercise of a gymnastic
character. The suggestion, while smilingly
msdo, was received with a murmur of
approval by the twelve men In the box.
Mrs. Rees waa again on the atand and
her cross examination waa not finished
until 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. In
the course of her examination by Attorney
Jeffries It waa developed ahe and her hus
band had heard one shot before Mr. Keea
went out to Investigate. This differ from
Adolph Hubermanna story that the first
shot waa fired after Von Haller and Reea
had clinched. Aa Hubermann waa with
Von Haller and attempting to dissuade
him from firing at the dog, while Mrs.
Rees was in the house reading, the two
stories cannot be reconciled.
Throughout the cross examination touch
ing the actual shooting the attorneys for
the defense bent their efforts to fixing the
number of shots fired. Hubermann had
said that one shot only was fired while
Von Haller and Rees were clinched, two
were fired Into the air when Mrs. Rees waa
utruggllng with Von Haller while trying
to drag or assist her husband Into tha
house, and one after they had left the
scene and ran up the track a block or
more.
Mra. neea is Positive.
Mrs. Reea waa specific In her statement
that there were five shots In all flred
one before Reea went out, one after he
went out, before she appeared, two while
she and Von Haller were struggling, and
one after the two strangers had gone
away from her house. She said also that,
while Von Haller had announced his In
tention "to shoot the of a - any
way." ahe thought the gun In hla hand
waa pointed at her when she pushed hla
arm up so that he fired In the air. Her
manner In giving this testimony was tense
and her language positive.
As to the gun her husband had sne
could not be positive as to how he held
It or which hand It waa in when, she picked
him up. She knew that there was blood
on It and that he laid It on the dresser
himself when they got Inside after Von.
Haller and Hubermann had left, for
there were bloody finger marks on the
dresser.
Attorney Jefferls spent some time in try
ing to get Mrs. Rees to sny whether or not
she had noticed any shells In her husband a
revolver after they got Inside, but she In
sisted that she could not remember; she had
touched the revolver after he laid It down.
It had first been handled by Dr. Ellis and
Chief of Detectives Dunn. The only other
point of Interest In Mrs. Bees' testimony
was aa to her. Identification of Von Haller
In the Jail. She Insisted that she had recog
nled him from seeing hla face so close to
her own on tha night of the killing, and not
through being coached by Captain Dunn.
Donn Found Shells In On".
Vsptaln Henry Dunn, chief of detectives,
testified aa an expert on firearms. He Bald
that ft. had picked up the bloody revolver
r?om the dresser and that he had found in
It five discharged sheila. He did not make
enclose enough examination to be able to
aay positively that the shells had been re
cently discharged. The chief of detectlvea
was at 111 on the .stand at adjournment.
Dr. Alo'nao E. Mack testified that he had
performed the autopsy. He described the
bruises on the face and head, also the
wound made by the bulletc and said. that
the front teeth were missing from the upper
jaw. He produced the piece of lead he had
- thm hrnin nnd It went In aa ex-
hlblt 6. v It looked like a flattened sliver of
lead more than a bullet.
H. A. Beal, who accompanied Dr. Ellis to
the Reea home, gave unimportant testi
mony, aa did Joseph Miller. The latter had
met and drank with Von Haller and Huber
mann after the shooting. The county at
torney had evidently thought to Bhow by
this witness that there were blood spotB on
Von Haller'a shirt when he arrived In the
saloon where Miller was, but the witness
had not noticed anything out of the ordi
nary about either man.
From the line of questions asked by the
attorneys for the defense It Is evident that
they hope to leave the-question In doubt as
to how many ehota were fired, and to leave
the Impression that Reea fired some of the
shots. That they hope for a verdict no
worse than manslaughter is now quite evi
dent, even if they do not get an acquittal.

Columbus, Ohio, May 19, 1903.
1 Some four years ago I waa suffering
from Impure blood and a general run-down
condition of the system. I bad no appe
tite, waa losing in flesh, and had an all-gone
tired feeling that made me feel miserable.
I began the use of S. S. S., and after
taking seven or eight bottle my akin was
cleared of all eruption and took on a rud
dy, healthy glow that assured me that mv
blood bad been restored to its normal,
healthy condition. My'appetite was re
stored, as I could eat anything put before
me, and as I regained my appetite I in
creased in weight, and that ' tired feeling"
which worried me so tnuCn disappeared,
and I was once agsin my old self.
I heartily recommend S. S. S. as the best
blood purifier and tonic made, and strongly
advise its use to all those in need of such
medicine. ' VicTo Stubbins.

FIND STRYCHNINE IN SODA
Chemist at Honolulu Discovers Poison in
Medicine Used by Mrs. Stanford.
SAME SODA WAS USED IN CALIFORNIA
Drag Was Tikes with Mineral Water
kt Time of First Report
of Attempt on
Lilt.
HONOLULU. March 1. (9:58 p. m The
chemist's report of the analysis of the
bicarbonate of soda, of which Mrs. Stan
ford took a dose shortly before her death,
states positively that the soda contained
strychnine.
Mrs. Hlghton, wife of Henry E. HIghton,
the well known Ban Francisco lawyer,
says that Mrs. Stanford cried when telling
her of the attempt which had been made
to poison her in San Francisco and that
she could not conceive why any one
should try to do so. During a discussion
of spiritualism Mrs. Stanford said she be
lieved in spirits and Intended to establish
a department at Stanford university for
the investigation of pyschlc phenomena.
Miss Berner, her secretary, saya In re
gard to the alleged attempt at poisoning
In San Francisco that Mra. Stanford drank
a glass of mineral water with the bicar
bonate of soda, the atrychnlne of which
made her violently 111, bo much atrychnlne
being absorbed that the stomach rebeled
and aha finally recovered. Miss Berner
saya Mra. Stanforda maid. May Hunt,
agrees with her In their atatenynta to the
police that the bottle containing the
strychnine waa packed In San Francisco
five weeks ago, before preparations were
made to come here, and that it remained
untouched until it waa opened last night
by Mrs. Stanford before taking the. dose.
On arriving here from San Francisco on
the ateamer Corea, Mrs. Stanford said that
ahe had left San Francisco unexpectedly
and In a great hurry.
Member of Household inspected.
There are Indications today that the
police of thla city auapect a member of
Mra Stanford's household of having placed
strychnine In the bottle of bicarbonate of
soda, of which ahe took before retiring
Tuesday night.
High Sheriff Henry says that there have
been no further developments In the case
and there are likely to be no more before
the holding of the inquest tonight. Dr.
H. V. Murray, one of the physicians who
conducted the autopsy, saya that death
was due to strychnine poisoning.
The body of Mrs. Stanford haa been em
balmed and It probably will be taken to
San Francisco on the Paclflo Mall com
pany's ship China, which will sail from
Honolulu on March 14. It Is due to arrive
at San Francisco on March 17.
H. F. Hackfleld haa been appointed the
representative of the Stanford interests
here with former Judge Stanley aa coun
sel. Great Quantity of Strychnine.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2. The receipt
today by the acting chief of police of a
cablegram from Sheriff Henry of Honolulu,
stating that there were no lesaj than 662
grains of strychnine in the bottle of bicar
bonate of soda from which Mrs. Jane
Stanford took a dose shortly before her
death, haa aroused the detective force of
thla city and every effort Is being made
to discover who placed the poison In the
medicine. The police believe that the bi
carbonate of soda and the strychnine were
purchased here and secretly dropped Into
the bottle by a person connected with the
Stanford household.
The bottle containing the bicarbonate
of soda and Its death potion originally
waa purchased In Australia. But accord
ing to Mlsa Bertha Berner, Mrs. Stan
ford's private secretary, and the maid.
May Hunt, the bottle was refilled in thla
city at a local, drug store.
Dr. W. ' G. Stevens, a medical expert,
today made this positive statement:
Six ' hundred and sixty-two grains of
strychnine easily would kill 6fil2 persons.
The maximum dose administered Is only
one-fifteenth of a grain, while the average
Is one-fortieth or a grain.
Louis Fulkenau, who made the analysis
of the mineral water drank by Mrs. Stan
ford last January and which was poisoned
with strychnine," said today:
'Strychnine and bicarbonate of soda can
not be detected easily. Socia has a crys
talline appearance and looks something
like strychnine. It would require an ex
pert to detect the presence of strychnine,
but he could do bo very readily."
The finding of a large amount of poison
In the bicarbonate bottle puzzles Mrs.
Stanford's relatives and attorneys In this
city. Mountford S. Wilson, her chief coun
sel, and C. O. Lathrop, her brother, today
declined to make any statement until they
had received direct advices from Honolulu.
They held an extended conference with D.
O. Mills, but would not discuss the matters
under consideration, although It is inti
mated that Mra. Stanford'a will was men
tioned.
Mra. Stanford did not leave so large an
estate as was supposed, for during her life
time she deeded the property she inherited
from her husband to the regents of Stan
ford university, to be held In trust for that
Institution after her death. The last trans
fer of Importance made by her waa about
three years ago, when she made over her
magnificent residence In California street
and at the same time she practically gave
to the regents of the university a trustee
ship to her Jewelry, which she provided
should be disposed of for the benefit of
Leland Stanford, Jr., university after she
had passed away.
Of those who It Is presumed by friends
are likely to receive a share of the estate
left by Mrs. Stanford, it Is generally be
lieved that Miss Jennie Lathrop and her
sister and brother, Hermlone and Leland
Stanford Lathrop, the children of Charles
Lathrop, will fare the beat, for they were
more frequently In her company than the
othera and greatly Interested Mrs. Stan
ford. Besides these relatives, Mrs. Stan
ford Is survived by a brother, Ariel Lathrop
of Albany, N. Y. ; two nieces, one In New
York and the other In Brooklyn, the duugh
tera of a late brother, Daniel S. Lathrop
and two nieces In Saratoga. That they
hava all been provided for la generally un
derstood, for Mrs. Stanford had fre
quently remarked to friends that while she
did not see much of her relatives In the
east, she had not forgotten them and would
remember them In her will.
Mountford Wilson, Mrs. Stanford's at
torney, and Charles Lathrop have stated
that Mrs. Stanford made her will a few
months ago, but until later they would not
make Ita contenta known to the world.

OMAHA WITNESSES WILLING
Eighteen Men Enmmtned from Here in
Beef Trust Investigation.
NO ATTEMPT TO EVADE THE SUMMONS
District Attorney Baxter Has Re
ceived Letter foncernlna tirand
Jury IlcarlnK, but Cannot
Talk of Ills Plans.
WASHINGTON. March 2.-Attorney Gen
eral Moody sent out to Uniied Statis d.s
trlct attorne.vB throughout the countiy, un
der date of February 24, a circular letter
In connection with the Invest g.itlon of the
alleged Beef trust, Instructing th-m as to
the action they should take. Following is
the text of the letter:
A special grand Jury will meet In Chlcagi.
III., on rtlarch 20, 19"fi, to hear evidence
against tne alleged "Beef trust." You are
instructed to make dlllsent Inquiry in your
district and obtain whatever evidence you
can tending to show that the producers of
fresh or cured meats have entered into a
combination in violation of the federal anti
trust act. Report the results of your In
quiry at the earliest possible date. and. nut
iHter than March 16. i:n, to 8. II. Hethea,
Esq., I'nlted Ktates attorney, Chicago, 1.1.
This report should contain at least the
names and addresses of prospective wlt
nesneB and a short statement of what each
will testify to.
Seen Thursday evening concerning the
above circular letter. Cnlted States District
Attorney Baxter said he had received the
letter some days ago, but had considered It
ns confidential, and so had not given It out
for publication.
' "There Is nothing that can be anld at this
time which would be proper for me to say,"
Mr. Baxter continued. "Whatever I may
know or do will be In the plain line of my
duty, and I would be laying myself open
to censure by the attorney general and Mr.
Bethea If I should give publicity to It at
this time. So you must excuse me from
talking of the matters alluded to In the cir
cular letter.
"The marshal's office, of course, has the
matter of serving subpoenas in hand and of
that phase I have no knowledge.
"You will notice that we have until March
IS to make any report we may contemplate
to Mr. Bethea, and I have been so very
busy In court for the last two weeks that I
really have not had any time to devote to
thla Beef trust investigation."
Chief Deputy Marshal Matthews, ques
tioned as to serving of subpoenas on the
packers and other men for whom the mar
shal's office had papers, said:
"This office had eighteen subpoenaa to
serve on men connected with, the packing
industry. They have all been served and
the wltnesses.who are wanted from Omaha
will be on hand when, the hearing opens In
Chicago. In this connection, I may say
that no one has attempted to evade service;
on the contrary, the men sent to serve tho
papers have been treated in a most courte
ous manner. Some of the persons we
wanted to see were out of town or not at
their placea of business when our men went
there. They have afterward come to this
office voluntarily to accept service. There
will be no difficulty about the attendance
of the Omaha witnesses. Ttiey will all be
on hand."
Mr. Matthews said he was not at liberty
to give the namea of the men on whom
summons had been served.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indigestion
Very few people arc free from some form
of Indigestion, but scarcely two will have
the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating,
bloating from gas In stomach and bowels,
othera have heartburn or sour risings, still
others hsve palpitation of heart, headaches,
sleeplessness, pains In chest and undet
shoulder blades, some have extreme
nervousness, as nervous dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be, the
cause In all cases of indigestion Is the same,
that Is the stomach for some reason falls
to properly and promptly digest what Is
eaten.
This Is the whole story of ntomach trou
bles In a nutshell. The stomach must have
rest and assistance and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give It both by supplying those
natural digestives which every weak
stomach lacks, owing to the failure of the
peptic glands in tho stomach to secret suf
ficient add and pepsin to thoroughly digest
and assimilate the food eaten.
One grain of the active prlnclplo In
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,0.10
grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome
food, and this claim ha been proven by
actual experiment, which anyone can per
form for himself in the following manner:
Cut a hard boiled egg Into very small
pieces, ns It would bo If masticated; place
the egg and two or three of tha tablets In
a bottle or Jnr containing warm water
heated to 98 degrees (tho temperature of
the body) and keep It at thla temperature
for three and one-half hours, at the end
of which time the egg will be ns completely
digested as It would have been In the
healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment Is that what
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the
egg In the bottle they will do to tho egg
or meat In the stomach Bnd nothing else
will rest and invigorate the stomach so
safely and effectually. Even a little child
can take Stuart's Tablets with safety nnd
benefit If Its digestion is weak and the
thousands of cures accomplished by their
regular dally use are easily explained when
It Is understood that they are composed of
vegetable eseences, aseptic, pepsin, diastase
and Golden Seal, which mingle with the
food and digest It thoroughly, giving the
overworked stomach a chance to recu
perate. Dieting never cures Dyspepsia, neither do
pills snd cathartic medicines, which simply
Irritate and Inflame the Intestines.
When enough food Is eaten and promptly
digested there will be no constipation, nor
m fact will there be disease of any kind
because good digestion means good health
In every organ.
The merit and success of Stuart's Dy
spepsia Tablets are world-wide and they
are sold at the moderate price of 60 cents
for full slxed package In every drug store
In the United States and Canada, as well
as In Europe.
