gard to his notions on that night.
Ko admitted only that ho was in
Santa Clara. Chlfton asked a num
ber of hypothetical questions In con
nection with the Whyback shooting,
and he wanted to know juijt what
penalty was attached to the crhno.
Ho laid particular stress on tho
fact that tho slaying of Whyback
might havo been dono in self de
fense. In. such a case ho wished to
ascertain If a man could be con
vlcted of murder In any degree or
of manslaughter.
Tho prlsonor was betrayed Into
tho hands of tho pollco by a young
woman who gave tho name of Alma
Hell. She told tho pollco that sin?
feared ho might kill her on account
of her knowlodgo of his burglaries.
According to hor story, Chlfton
remained hidden In his rooms in a
local hotol for four days, subsequent
to tho discovery of the watchman's
dead body.
When Chlfteti was arrested ho was
packing his grip to leave town.
Among his effects, tho pollco say,
was found a quantity of jewelry,
.which ,ho had stolen at Meridan
Corners, a dark lantern and a re
volver. '

lib was In custody and asked no
questions.
When confronted by witnesses.
tho pollco say, ho readily admitted
tho robberies. As tho man was In

ing terrorized by tho drugstore ban
dit, tho pollco in San Francisco have
been asked to compare Chlften's de
scription with that of tho San Fran

Naples, March 31. The mountain
villages of Borello and Belpassa
have been left to their fate, accord
ing to advices from Catania today.
Tho flow of lava from 35 craters
of the giant mountain of Aetna has
widened In its progress down tho
southern slope of the volcano. Sol
diers have abandoned tho towns per
mitting the inhabitants to re-enter
them to remove everything of value
that could be carried to safety.
Other towns on the mountain
side, which have partially been
burned by tho solidifying lava, have
been depopulated for several days
and the soldiers axe preventing the
peasants from re-entering them be
cause of danger.
Intervening hills havo checked the
flow of lava toward Catania, accord

flowing toward the coast.
The lava is estimated to bo 100

Catania, March 31. Bells of tho
cathedral, the monasteries and
churches of Cantanla are ringing to
day while joyous processions of de
votees fill the streets in thanksgiv
ing for deliverance of the city from
the Deril of Mount Aetna's lava
streams.
The civil authorities todoy an
nounced that the largest stream had
been diverted from Catania by a
range of low hills and that it is
flowing to the sea.
Even the sorrow stricken thou
sands from the mountain towns is
sued from the refuges to join the
demonstration.
Persons who have been permitted
to visit the territory through which
the lava Is flowing describe tho mov
ing mass as an impressive sight.
They declare that in many places
the lava has filled deep ravines, then
taken up Its onward flow.
The railroad on the eastern side
of the mountain's base is in tho path
of the approaching flow and unless
the eruption soon ceases, will bo de
stroyed. o

UNITED PRESS XJ3ABED WIBB.
Portland, Ore., March 31. With
tho completion of tho argument of
District Attorney v.amoron, the case
against W. H. Moore, president of the
defunct Oregon Trust and Savings
Bank, who has been on trial here for
the last two weeks on an Indictment
charging that he accepted deposits
with a knowledge tnat .no ua.ua. wua
insolvent, was placed in the hanas oi
the jury shortly before noon today.
A verdict is expected to be returned
late this afternoon.
The last witness for the prosecu
tion was Mrs. D. -. Watts, wife of a
drug clerk, who testified that she bad
taken Minnie Mitchell to tho bank to
make tho deposit on which the indict
ment against Moore is based. Tho
prosecution aimed by her testimony
to contradict Mooro, who, In his ex
amination, denied being In the bank
.andltnesalng uie transaction be
tween tno cierK ana. miss Aiaivueu.
This testimony ill rebuttal was obr
jected to by attorneys for the de
fense on the ground that tho testi
mony should have been brought out
in tho chief testimony of the case,
and as later introduced was merely
cumulative.
This objection was sustained by
Judge Bronaugh.
Today's session of court was occu
pied by arguments of tho attorneys
for both sides.
