Defease Draws DIITrrral Plrtare.
A pictured by the defense It was a
, woman tolling In midsummer In a fan
Francisco sweatshop to support her
two little children harassed by private
detectives until she had appealed twice
to the rhlef of police for protection,
finally "hounded" out of her position
and then taken In charge by friends.
The departure to fleno waa related
subsequently in the testimony of Mal
colm Longhead, a Kan Francisco chauf
feur. The strongest points made by the de
fense, however. In this connection,
'Were that Mra. Caplan. aa the wife of a
co-defendant, could not have been a
witness In the McNamara case; that If
ne rouio nave oeen viewed aa a com
prtent witness her nervines were nev
er required, and that the time of the
occurrence was two months prior to
the beginning of the trial of James B.
Mc.Xamnra.

The defense made atronor ohjeetlnne
to the admission of l.ouehead testi
mony on the around that no connection
could be shown between th defendant
and those who had assisted In taklna
Mrs. Caplan out of the alate. Judge
Mutton had Indicated that he would
rule In favor of the contention of the
defense, but a statement by Attorney
Marl Hog-era that Johannaen and Tvelt
moe were Interested In the Il-N.mr
defena-? waa declared by the court to bo
sufficient grounds for the admissibility
vi inn eviarnee.
Renewed objections, however, gained
a point for the. defense In th avowal
. by the prosecution that It would con
nect Pvrrow directly with the alleged
acts of Treltmoe and Jnhannsen.
"Remember that avowal." declared
Roger. "Now we've got you where we
want you.

Rogers offered to put Johannsen.
limn present In the courtroom, on the
stand and also to produce Treltmoe-,
who. he said waa In the city, to com
bat the avowal of the prosecution,
but the court would not allow !t.
Application to the same end waa
"made at the conclusion of Loughead'a
cross-examination, but again It was
armed.
Longhead testified that h had been
engaged by Olaf A. Tveltmo to make
a long trip and had left Han Franclsc
on July 30. IMI. with Johannaen and
another man whom he did not not
know. Near La Honda, he said. Jo
hannaen and the other man left him
at a trail and returned an hour later
with a woman and two children. Jo
nannsen, he said, railed th woma
"Flora."
They proceeded to Reno, staying two
niguta at hotels.

there waa no attempt made at con

Among the names of the commission

General had advised the House con

"Well." retorted Mr. Martin. "Gen

Representative Cooper Interrupted to
ask If Senator Dupont had not been

Brigadier-General Enoch II. Crowder
on a mission to Cuba would be regard
ed with disfavor by the Government If
either rnme with authority to arrancjs
terma of aettlement between the Gov
ernment and the Insurgents.
The Cuban government feara that If
a commission from the Vnlted State
were to have authority to arrange a
settlement, it might Involve recogni
tion of some of the demands of the
negroes.
The only concession the Cuban gov
ernment was willing to make was the
allowance of a few days' grace to the
rebels In which to surrender, after
which the only course open to the gov
ernment would be to proceed to stamp
out the Insurrection, of Its ability to
do which, with promptltule, the gov
ernment entertained no doubt.
