Chester V. , Dolpb, special counsel for the state, -disclosed to the Jury the tes timony of Martia LlndaU, one of Chris tine Enger's chief witnesses. Captain LlndaU stated on croM-ejcaminatfoa at the time the deposition was taken la San Francisco, February JVU02, that be- had determined to assasslsaU Govern?r Budd of California, because, he had refused to keep his promists. Hard "'stratts y sent him to "the alms house in Ban Francisco, and he vowed that he would kill Governor Budd when he should 'get out. a fletec- tive heard of Llndall's threat anl per. suaded him not 'to think of eommitttng su?hAfaihact. Attorney Dolph was putUng A saVera (ire of cross-questions to the wltn, with the idea of impeaching his testimony re garding statements made as to hi. age. The oueitlons and answers follow: ."Da the TTth day ot July. 1900, the reo- ords shows that you stated upon your registration (in Ban Francisco) as a voter that you were 65 years of age?" Corresponds with what is on the register, don't ItT 1 t Q: Tes. .. ' ' - A. WeUT , Q.

Mr. Paxton Explain that A, I Will explain that to you. Governor Budd, when he ran for Governor, I was promised office from him what he did not give me and, I went to the poor house. Why, I should have sympathy with the people, and I made up my mind to- kill him. That is why I went t the alms housefor nothing eleev And S atuyed In tne aims house. "In January I left the alma house, and I shot my mouth off as to whal I would do, and Budd got hold of it, finding it out, and he went and saw Detective Sey mour about it. And Seymour, he came to me aud asked what I wanted front Budd. I said: 'I cannot do anything.' He said: 'You can get anything you want now you ask Budd. 'Budd Is scared of you.' So I did get nothing, t do not want nothing from him, but I . Intended to snoot-mm. Tnat was it, and it wa hard to get lt out of mind , to do, toa. Any man can make up his mind to It.' As the web of testimony Is woven, the woof is taking on a aerious hue tor the plaintiff, Christine Buffer, "Nearly every witness for the plaintiff has been Im peached. The. attorneys for the state are endeavoring to prove that the claim $t the Enger woman's relationship has been trumped up by Attorney Carr. It Is a remarkable fact." observed Mr. Dolph, "that the witnesses examined dis play so much accurate knowledge about the family and private affaire- of the de ceased Henry Wilson, yet they know $9 little of their own affairs." " Captain LlndaU admitted in his deposi tion that he was lying when he swore a to his age before the registrar at San Francisco, I vr On cross-examination, the Witness was' asked: . On October i 1S97. and at the City and County Almshouse, in the superin- sent's office, did you not answer ques tions put to you as to your name, age, ex, color, nativity tand -occupation,, that yow were of the age -ef -tt-yearar'. i - s, A., I will sxplaia that., I havt jalwar". been lying five years on my age. .Xhat Is the businesat because I want to be young.
