Special.) In ability on the part of Attorney-General 1. S. Webb to compel today the attend- I a nee of witnesses against Dr. C. C. Van- j I.lew, president of the normal "school at CMilco. now under charges of immorality and of taking undue liberties with a student of his school, and with Intem perance, caused the state to close Its case temporarily- early this afternoon. The defense, conducted by Attorneys Archi bald Yell and A. M. Seymour, were forced against protests to begin its case. The office of the president of the nor mal school was-crowded with a throng of spectators today, as it was the first day of the investigation. Cautioned by the president f the board of trustees, C. Cogglns, that demonstration would not be tolerated, the crowd was silent dur ing the greater portion of the hearing. tut when one witness testified that the best citizens of Chito believed that Dr. Van I.iew was 'every inch a man," the handclapplng an cheering was pro longed and the president of the Inquiry board was forced to rap for order. Ada Clark, the chief witness who testi fied that Ir. Van Liew had embraced her while in his office at the school while she was a pupil there, appeared" earlv accompanied by her brother. Rev. C. Todd Clark, of the Methodist Church, and her chum and main corroborative witness, Nora Llndley. who testified that Miss Clark had first confided in her that Br. Van L,Iew had taken undue liberties with her. Boy's I-ove Affair Brought In. Klmer Ranker, a witness who testi fied Friday in behalf of the prosecu tion, was the first witness called this morning-. He testified that he had been a student at the state normal school, but had ceased his studies there when lr. Van L.!ew called him into his pri vate office and informed him that his work there was doins him no good and that he might just as well quit. Later, he testified that he had been keeping company with a young woman student at the normal school. Dr. Van Llew, he testified, objected to his attentions to the young woman and threatened to write a letter to the young woman"s mother unless he ceased his attentions to her. Ranker testified that he did not cease In his attentions to the ycungr woman, and that he had no hard feelings against the normal school president for the in terest he took in his private love af fair. Continuing. Ranker testified that on occasions Ife had seen Lr. Van Liew drinking in public places. Upon cross-examination Ranker de nied that he had made the statement that he was gettns revenge on a man who had forced htm to stop his atten tions to a girl he loved. Van Llew's Morality Attacked. J. W. Jewell, the next witness called, said that the general reputation for morality of Dr. Van Llew is not good. Joseph Burroughs, a Chico jeweler, 29 years of residence, then testified that Hr. Van Llew's reputation for morality was decidedly unfavorable. Charles Baker, a resident' of Chico for 32 years, testified that Dr. Van Liew's reputa tion for morality was generally bad. W. S. Biggs, the detective who has handled the work of getting testimony for the Rtate. left his seat at the side of Attorney-Ueneral Webb and took the witness stand. On direct examination he recited the facts concerning his em ployment in the present case. He said that he is a detective, special officer or special agent of the Southern Pa cific, with headquarters in Sacramento. . "The Uovernor wanted me to investi gate the charge against Dr. Van Liew." said Brlggs, "and after procuring the necessary permission from Superin tendent Sheridan, of the Southern Pa cific, 1 came to Chico. I have talked with witnesses and have secured testi mony in this case from citizens." State's Testimony Is Boomerang. Henry M. Locey, gardener of the Normal School, called as the next wit ness for the state, proved to be one of Lie star witnesses for the defense. "What is the general reputation of Dr. Vn Liew, as to his morality?" asked Attorney-General Webb. "The best people of Chico say Or. Van Llew is every inch a man." re plied the witness. "I never saw any thing improper in his conduct and I have been the gardener here for nine years." A each witness closed his testimony the normal school president wiped the beads of perspiration from his forehead- The words of each witness he repeated to himself, his lips moving as he formed the words. He seemed absorbed in what each witness said and was oblivious to everything else. H offered no suggestion to his attor neys, but watched only the witnesses. Following a recess J. B. Coghlll. one of the leading members of Dr. C. Todd Clark's church, testified posi tively that the reputation generally of Dr. Van Liew as regards his morality was bad. He refused point blank to give the names of any persons to whom he had talked about Dr. Van Liew and from whom he had derived his opinion of the normal school president. "The struggle for bread Is a fierce dne here as elsewhere," said Coghill. "To do so would do my neighbors an injury. I must refuse to give, the names." The prosecution then rested its case temporarily and the defense introduced a number of witnesses to show that Van Llew was "a man of exemplary character. The hearing adjourned until Monday morning, when the prosecution proposes to introduce new witnesses to prove Van Llew is an undesirable character.
