ATTORNEY'S BURNING WORDS MAKE THE DEFENDANT SQUIRM Weber Scored in Prosecution's Argument to the Juru. DENOUNCED AS PIEND INCARNATE Special Dispatch to The Call. AITBURN, Feb. For three hours to-day Attorney George F. Hamilton addressed the jury in the Weber case.

His opening argument for the prosecution was a masterly effort. Step by step he took the Jurors through the mass of evidence accumulated by the prosecution in its efforts to prove that Adolph Weber was guilty of the most heinous crime that a man can commit the murder of his mother. Clearly and concisely, at times dramatic, he spoke. Not a point made by the prosecution did he overlook; not a weak spot in the defense escaped him. He reviewed link after link of the chain of circumstantial evidence that points to the guilt of the youthful Auburn suspect.

He told the jurore of the behavior of young Weber toward the members of family; how the mother, Mrs. Weber, with the love of a mother for her first born, excused his Idiosyncrasies and bore with him in silence that the world should not know that her heart was broken. When during the course of his argument Attorney Hamilton, wiih his hand raised on high and with voice quivering with emotion, said. "I thank God his father is dead, that his flster is dead, that his little brother is dead, for they will not be compelled to take the stand and swear That this boy Is the murderer of Mary Weber," there was hardly a dry eye in the courtroom. When the attorney, in a husky voice, declared that Adolph Weber probably shot the mother who bore him, the woman at -whose knees he had first lisped his childish prayers, as she knelt and cried to him, "Dolphy, Dolphy, mercy for your the women in the big courtroom sobbed aloud and the men hid their faces that the tears that filled their eyes should not be seen.

"Gentlemen of the Jury," pleaded Hamilt in. "give him the same mercy that he gave to his mother as she knelt before him begging for her life." During the attorney's argument Weber squirmed uneasily in his seat. etonalty he would raise his eyes, only to drop Umn when they encountered the gaze of Hamilton or the specs. who, struck by the attorney's awful sincerity, kept their eyes on the youth, expecting that the ng words would bring forth a sign row, a display- of feeling or even interest. They were disappointed.

But is movements about in hair and the occasional lifting of pel thr prisoner gave no sign that the words of the attorney were saere to him than a Fourth of July much. WOMKN IV BLACK. When Hamilton closed his argument immediately surrounded by the men, women and children of Auburn. They all wanted to grasp his hand. In the midst of his triumph two women, clad in black and heavily veiled, came him.

They were Mrs. Snowden and Hess, sisters of the murdered woman. The crowd made way for the two women, who were sobbing plteously Without uttering a word they efl the hands of the young attorney and silently shook them. The handclasps were mute evidence of the feelings of the two suffering women and a wish that the jury would show Adolph Weber the mercy he showed Their sister. The courtroom was crowded with the leading business men of the town as well as the most prominent women of the place.

Business in the main part at the otty was practically suspended during this session of the court. The morning session opetied up with H. E. Klessig, a gunsmith from Sacramento, on the stand. He substantiated his testimony of the day before.

worth as an expert, however, was when the bullets he used to experiment with were handed him. He was unable to identify them. Six witnesses from San Francisco were on hand to testify to the good character of Henry Carr, the pawnbroker, who says he sold a revolver to young Weber. They all swore his character was of the best. The testimony of Max Abrahams and Jacob S.

as to Carr's character was admitted. That of Sam Nathan was ruied out. The testimony of Nathan G. W. Guppy and Henry Johnston on the same subject was declared admissible.

George Brinkerhoff, porter of the Aerial Flats of San Francisco, who was friendly with Weber during the latter's visit to San Francisco last summer, was also a witness. He said that Weber always wore dark blue overcoat and a black hat when he went out In the evenings. He never saw him wear a light hat or a gray overcoat. The witness declared he had never gone out with Weber to buy a revolver. The defense introduced a pair of brass knuckles and a blackjack in or- der that the Jury might see what these articles were.

DEFENDANT RECALLED. Adolph Weber was again summoned to the stand by Attorney Johnson. "Do you know Chester Fowler and George Brinkerhoff?" asked the attorney. "Yes, sir," said Weber. you ever go out in the evening in San Francisco with any young men except these two?" i "No, sir." was the reply.

"Did you hear Edna Fulton speak to you at your home on the night of the fire?" "No. sir," said the defendant. I "On that night did you hear some one say to you, 'Where are the Yes." answered Weber. "I said they were here when I left." The defendant was not cross-examined. A.

J. Hulen, a teamster, testified that on the night of the fire he was driving into town with a Mr. Fellows. As they reached the Bernhart crossing, he said, he looked at his watch. It was 6:30 o'clock.

He did not hear any scream from the Weber home, as his team made too much noise. He stated positively that It was- 6:35 or 6:36 when he came to the corner of Sacramento and High streets. The prosecution next introduced R. F. Glenn, who was In Ophlr with F.

L.utz and Charles Vaughn when George Ruth arrived there. Lutz and Vaughn swore last week when on the witness stand that Ruth had stated Ip their presence that he had not carried little Earl Weber from the blazing house that he had out the "old woman." Glenn to-day testified that he was present when this conversation took place and that he heard Ruth positively declare to every one who asked him that he did carry out the boy. The afternoon session was opened up by the prosecution calling John Adams, the administrator of the estate of Julius Weber. General Webb stated that he wished to prove by the testimony of Adams that there was no will and that the estate would go to the prisoner. HAMILTON'S ARGUMENT.

At 2 o'clock Attorney Hamilton began his argument. In part he said: The prosecution is here to enforce the law. and. headed by Attorney General Webb, has endeavored to present to the jury clear and connected case of circumstantial evidence con- necting: the defendant here with tile murder of i Mary Weber. Everything been done to I make th? chain of evidenc absolutely complete.

The best endeavors of General Webb, the Dis- I trict Attorney and Sheriff Keena have been given to thf fulfillment of their duties. It now rests with you. gentlemen of the Jury, to do your part. The defendant; Adolph Weber. is presumed to be Innocent until he Is proven guilty.

He is entitled to rights, particularly the right to be tried by a jury of twelve impartial men. The evidence here produced proves, to my mind, that he is guilty of the terrible crime with which he is charged. The attorneys for the defense have said everything in his behalf. Is there any one In the world who can come forward to prove his innocence? I have gone into this case for a share of the boarded i fortune left by Julius Weber that stands behind the defense. I am in this case by the courtesy of District Attorney Robinson and General' Webb.

lam here to speak for the laws of the State, law? that must be obeyed. This trial Is conducted entirely on the basis of circumstantial evidence, evidence that I deem strong enough to convict the defendant of this horrible crime. I thank God that his father Is dead, that his eiFter Bertha is dead and that his brother Earl is dead for they will not be compelled to come to this court. to swear that this boy Is the murderer of Mary Weber. .1 appeal to the laws of the land and I appeal to you.

Jurymen who love these laws, to see In this case that the law Is carried out to the fullest extent. This horrible crime transcends any crime known In this country to-day. No matter what may be the I result of this trial to the defendant It is an important fact to you that he is tried for his life. On the other side of the scales is his own mother. The mother at whose knees he learned to pray to his God.

Talk about the angels, talk about the promised land, there is on earth something better than all these. It is the affection and love of a mother. A mother's affection on this earth Is better than what the Bible us Is the promised land, CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. In circumstantial is necessary to establish that a crime has been committed. This we can fully do.

A little angel in shape of Frances Snowden left the Weber family at on the evening of November 10, when they were all alive and well. She had scarcely left that home when some one entered there and murdered the whole family. Who did this? The defense must put somebody into this case. They have suggested no one. This murderer knew the family well.

He his father through the heart as he was facing him; he shot his sister Bertha through the heart as she was looking at him, and shot his mother she wa? probably on her knees crying "Dolphy, Dolphy, mercy, mercy, for your mother." He struck his brother Earl on the head as he was looking up at him. Gentlemen of the jury, give him the same mercy that he gave to his mother as she knelt before him begging for her life. The murderer left that house with his hands sUined with blood. What the first thing for him to do? Wash his hands. This he did at the American Hotel.

testimony of May Clark that he down Brewery lane about 6:30 is fully substantiated by testimony of Joseph Powell Clarence Geear and Walter Crosby, each of whom caw him about that time. The has cast a great reflection upon the name of the murdered Bertha Weber. They have dragged that innocent girl's name Into the testimony they offered in this court through two Women cf 111 repute. Myrtle Hall and Lotfe Smith the women through whose testimony they tried to Impeach the statements of May Clark. I do not one moment believe that the head counsel in this case brought forward this story.

It was Detective Green who went to these abandoned women, and I believe he placed in their mouths the words they came here and falsely pwore to as words of truth. If this defendant had one spark of manhood he would have refused to allow this reflection to be cast, on the good name of his sister and allow that! good name to be dragged into the court as that of a friend of May Oark. Hamilton then went on with a careful recital of the evidence adduced at trial. He related how young Weber had stated that he left his family alive' and well that evening, and In a roundabout way went down town, remaining in town until the fire etruck. The testimony, said Hamilton, proved conclusively that Weber did not go this roundabout way, but went straight down Brewery lane.

He said: When he arrived in front of his burning home. instead "of going, to the. i front room, where he. said his sister was when he left he house, he went to the dining-room. a room where the family never sat, and there effected an for what" reason no 'one This defendant then Jumped out the dining-room window and came to the steps of.

the front porch and there he allowed strangers to carry out the mutilated remains of those that should have been dearer, to i him THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1905.

DENVER DOCTOR ON TRIAL FOR MURDER OF HIS WIFE Woman, Apparently Victim of Runaway Accident, Said to Have Been Poisoned. NEW LONDON, Feb. 16.

T. Jones Watson of Denver, charged with the murder of his wife. The defense closed its case by placing Dr. Watson on the stand. He declared the death of his wife was due to an accident.

WORKMEN SERIOUSLY HURT BY SULPHUR EXPLOSION Believed That Four Will Die as the Result of Accident in Brooklyn Works. NEW YORK, Feb.

16. Eight workmen were badly injured by an explosion of sulphur in the Brooklyn Sulphur Works in Brooklyn to-day. The firemen and policemen who brought them out of the building were themselves much affected by breathing the sulphur fumes. At one time ten firemen were lying on the sidewalk with ambulance surgeons administering restoratives. It is believed four of the injured workmen will die.

The first explosion was quickly followed by a second and in a minute the whole three-story building was in flames. LJTTIiE JOE Is sent to his Grandma's. In next Sunday's comic section. than life itaelf and made no attempt help them. What kind of man can he be? When he is called upon the stand before this court he sits in the witness chair with an expression of Indifference and contempt and says he did not kill his family.

He tells a falsehood and he commits a perjury. If he was innocent he would have gone to the very place in which he left hla family that evening. But he did not. It was Clarence Geear and George Ruth who went into that burning home and dragged the family from the flames. Now this defendant comes forward and tries to make a hero of himself by saying.

"I went into that burning room and brought out my little brother." In all that crowd of hundreds of women and frenzied men there was not one that saw Adolph Weber on that porch or In 'that room. The blood-curdling spectacle presented by the removal of charred and bleeding bodies brought no expression of sympathy from Adolph Weber, but It sent shudder of terror and horror through the great crowd of spectators of that awful sight. If he was Innocent of crime Adolph AVeber would have rushed to the side of his relatives, but no, he kept away from them He did not dare to go near them or dare to look at them. He knew he had not the courage, so slunk away and sat beneath the little magnolia tree. The defense has tried to prove that Mary Weber was alive when she was carried from the burning building.

Dr. Rooney has testified that the bullet wounds would have caused her death within fifteen minutes after they had been Inflicted. If they had established thia fact, Adolph Weber could not have been the murderer of his mother. They failed to thU. The testimony presented here yesterday by J.

Silver From List of Eligibles to Hold 3lunicipal Jobs The Civil Service Commission last night set aside the certification of Isafah M. Silver of 563 Fell street, an ordinary clerk employed in Tax Collector Smith's office. It was discovered yesterday that Silver's examination paper had been written by another man. The examination was held June 15, 1900. James A.

Code, an experienced clerk in Smith's office, notified Clerk Maher of the Civil Service Commission yesterday that he was informed that Silver had never taken the examination for the position which he occupied. Code said, after seeing the papers purporting to have been written by Silver, that he believed a man known as Joseph Devine, alias "Helny" Devine, had passed the examination In Silver's place. The Grand Jury was informed' at the same time regarding the case, and Foreman Andrews and Expert Young the Grand Jury were present at the commission's meeting last night, merely to bring the matter before the commission, they said. Silver admitted that the examination paper and the identification sheet were not in his handwriting, but maintained that he took the examination. The only place where his writing appeared was on the application blank.

In view of the marked discrepancies in the handwriting Silver's name was stricken from the eligible list of civil service appointees and he will not be allowed to take any examination for a municipal position. Silver has a suit In Judge Sloss' court to-day to compel Tax Collector Smith to show cause why he should not be retained In his position as clerk. He was ordered discharged by the Civil Service Commission a week ago, he being one of the last on the eligible list and it being necessary on account of a lack of work to lay off some of the men in the Tax Collector's office. Foreman Andrews believes the suit Instituted by Silver was backed by Smith, and that if Silver won out the Tax Collector would discharge all the civil service employes in his office and substitute his own friends. Silver's crime, which Is a misdemeanor, is barred from prosecution by the statute of limitations, four years having elapsed since the fraud was committed.

His papers were passed through an oversight by a board of examination consisting of Judge J. V. Coffey. former Mayor L. R.

Feb. Pedro P. Salazar was shot through the head and killed last night at Ortega's sheepshearing camp, ten miles north of Phoenix, by Maximiliano Lucero, who is now in jail.
