CASE AGAIN IS CONTINUED Defendant in th Auburn Murder CM Seemed in Good Spirit and Ha Waa Rprtd by Svral Attorneys in Court. Auburn, Dec Adolph Weber, ac companled by his counsel. Grove 1 Johnson. B. P." Tabor and & J. Pullen appeared In court yesterday to plead to the Indictment for the murder of his father. He looked aa If in rood health and seemed In better spirits than he had shown in court for the past two weeks, being- quite cheerful and smtl Inf be talked to those around him. When the case waa called Mr. John son asked that Fred P. Tuttle be made an attorney of recorJ for the defense la all the cases against the defendant Judge Prewett asked If this request Included the case of the robbery of the Placer bank, and was answered that it did. Mr. Johnson stated that the de fense would Interpose no demurrer and that the defendant would plead not Kullty. Adolph was then arraigned on the in dictment for robbing the bank. He de clared that his true name was Adolph Weber. Mr. Johnson asked until next Tuesday to plead and the date was set for that afternoon. , Mr. Johnson then murder of Mary Weber, the mother of the accused, be postponed from the 23d of January till the 26th, as he was en gaged in another case in Sacramento The request was granted. - District Attorney Robinson asked when the trial for the murder of Julius Weber be set, but the court suggested that the time which the first trial might consume la very uncertain and It might be well to make a stipulation as to the date between the counsel. Mr. Johnson agreed to a stipulation that the defendant waive hi legal right to call for a trial within (0 days and the court said that If the defendant should call for a trial within (0 day he should consider that that time began at the date of such application. John Adams, guardian of Adolph, ap plied for permission to engage counsel for his defense. The court said that so long as a possible contingency of the finding of a will or the appearance of another heir or claimant appearing the petition would have to be posted for hearing for ten days. A similar petition from John Adams as' the ad ministrator of Julius Weber, for a family allowance of $600 a month to the accused for all necessary state ments was met by the court with the statement that while be was disposed to make a more liberal family allow ance than ordinary, he would enter tain a petition for a special allowance for the purpose named. BLEW UP PIPE. Kansas Citizen Net Accustomed to New and Modern Improvements. Coffeyville, Kan., Dec. 2 J. As a re sult of the intense feeling engendered by th building of the pipe line of the Kansas natural ga company for the purpose of piping gas out of the state, four different points in the partially completed line were blown up with , dynamite by a party of 13 or more masked and otherwise disguised men, near Liberty, 10 miles north of this city, last night. There were four explosions at points a quarter of a mile from each other. Great damage was done, the pipe being torn and broken and holes being blown In the earth. No one knows who com posed the band, where they came from, nor where they went after the deed. The people in the vicinity of the trou ble are reticent and nothing can be lamed. The official of the gas com pany were notified, but have taken no step. Further trouble Is anticipated. PLATT BILL GOES OVER. Th Bill to Reduce Congressional Rep recantation in 8outhem 8tates. Washington, Dec. 2S. There Is rea son to believe that none of the repub lican leaders in the senate will make any effort to push the bill of Senator Piatt of New Tork, which provides for the reduction of the congressional representation of practically all the southern states. Senator Bailey, who has been keep ing In close touch with the matter ever since the bill waa Introduced, recently conferred with some of the leading re publicans of the upper house and Inci dentally put them on notice that he would vigorously oppose any attempt to get the Piatt measure through. He told them that If the matter was to be taken up he desired to make some ex tended preparations forthe fight against it and asked them to Indicate their at titude in the premise so that, If the case was not to be gone Into, he could save the time which would otherwise be devoted to those preparations. He waa given to understand that nothing would be done, and was as sured that if any change waa made In the program he would be apprised early eneugh to permit htm to give the sub ject all the study It would eem to demand. The very general Impreaalon Is that the leaders will not permit the reduction proposition to be agitated at the session, SAD FOR NAN. (Continued from Pag 1.) the patient waiter. Because of the source of taeae rumor, little faith was placed In their truthfulness. The first mysterious Information had It that the jury stood firm on the basis of nine for acauittai. on for conviction of murder In the second degree and two unable to agree upon th degree of manslaughter, of which they believed the prisoner guilty. Before daylight, however, there had been a decided change In teh sentiment of the Jury. according to a report At that time a story which gained consierable circu lation had 11 Jurors favoring acquittal and one holding out for conviction of murder In the first degree. Of course, there waa absolutely nothing to sub stantiate these rumors, but every bit of the gossip was anxiously Belied up on by those who had waited tor o long. Life in Juryroom. The first sign of life In th big court building came Just before daybreak when a bright light nickered up In the window of the Jury room, scarcely more than a dosen feet away from the court house end of the "Bridge of Sighs." A-little later the officers who had been on guard In the building all night came out one by one for break fast and a little after T o'clock the jurors, guarded by court omcers. marched out to a nearby restaurant for their morning meal. As they came through the Franklin street exit the met c,rowd not,eM hn 200 persons. Including the self-appoint ed guard who had remained on duty all night If the crowd expected to learn any thing from the faces of the jurors they were disappointed, for there was noth ing In their expression save wearlnesa It waa learned that the room in which the long night was spent was entirely without furniture, with the exception of a table and a doxen small wooden chairs. Whatever rest the Jurors got therefore, waa obtained under far from Ideal condltlona. They suffered some what from cold during the night too, the officer said, and the engineer was roused In the early morning hours with a request for more steam. Accused Girl' Sleep Troubled. After the hardest day of her life, a day which opened with the brightest hope and ended In darkest despair, Nan Patterson retired to her cot In th Tombs half an hour after midnight It had been reported from the little "pen over the Jury room, where she spent the long hour of waiting yesterday and last evening, that she was on the verge of nervous collapse, and that even her aged father, who had been constantly at her side through all her trouble, waa unable to calm her. Ac cording to the matron of the Tombs. however, the girl had hardly touched her cot in the cell before she was asleep. Her sleep was troubled, and she awoke many time during the night but on the whole got a much better night' rest than might nave been expected under these circum stances. I don't see how she does it," said the matron. "She has the most wonder ful nerve of any woman I ever knew." This morning Miss Patterson asked for news from the Jury. She became hysterical while awaiting an answer, and the Tombs wardn went to see her. He assured her that there was no news, and that she could not possibly hear anything until it was announced in the court room before her. two monthi fSK A aisniyoi wine ofCerdai sod I am (lad to en dorse It inflammation and weakness have of every twenty cases of bearing-down pains or ovarian troubU.

She had a sever attack of hysteria, rr rit. "How can I face those dreadful 12 men again?" the warden said she re peatedly cried, th fear of going back to the court overshadowing everything else. Dr. Ivln, the Tomb physician, was sent for In a hurry and prescribed for her. About this time her father arrived at th Tomb Owing, to her tat of collapse h waa allowed to go to see her. With hi preenc and the effort of th physician ah improved considerably In a short time. A soon a she waa somewhat composed she waa led acros the "Bridge of 8lghs" to th criminal court building. She was taken to th "pen" to wait until a ver dict had been reached or om conclu sion had been arrived at William Ryan, a policeman on guard at the entrance to the Jury room, faint ed today and waa sent to hi station house In a patrol wagon. He had been doing extra duty, and this, with the ex citement of the trial, was too much for htm. During the forenoon the crowd around the court house Increased until the streets were blocked and th cor ridors within the building were so Jammed that no le than half a dosen time police reserve were forced to clear out th building. At 10:20 o'clock .the hour which had been set for the opening of court word cam by telephone that Justice Davis was delayed, and that he would not reach the court house until 11:20. In the meantime the police stationed about the court house corridor had serious difficulties In holding In check the crowds clamoring tor admission. The court's order that spectator be rigidly excluded from the court room was carried out almost to the letter. Half a hundred persons occupied seals In the court room. Among them were only three women. Promptly at 11:30 John R. Patterson, the prisoner's fa ther, came In and took a seat the counsel's table. No word had been received from Jus tice Davis up to that time, however, and there followed another wait of 10 minutes before a stir Indicated that the court was about to resume Its ses sion. A moment later the jurors, their faces showing deep lines a a result of their allnlght vlrgll, filed solemnly In and took their place behind the rail. Miss Patterson had not reached the court room up to that time, but aa the jurors marched down th alle her fa ther, half turning In hi chair, gased Intently upon their faces. A he turned back and fumbled nervously a paper which lay upon the table, his hands shook as If with palsy, and It seemed apparent that he saw little to arouse hope in the faces of the Juror. A moment later- Nan Patterson gowned entrlely In black and with heavy veil concealing her features, walked with a firm strong step to the chair beside her father. As she sat down she placed one arm across her father's shoulder. With the other she raised her veil and kissed the old man In a verv Dretty. affectionate way. Of the two, the father showed far grenter strain under which they had been for many hours, and for a time the girl turned comforter. There waa scarcely a moment's delay when the usual ques tion was put to the Jurors. The fore man replied that no decision had been reached. MALAYS AMUCK.
