WEBER IN COURT
He b Arraingcd And Enters a Plea
of not Guilty.
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,

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.

Instead of assuring her, this news
made her worse. 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.
