The Sultan wrote to Lieutenant General Harrington, British cjjq-mtander in chief Wednesday, stating he considered his life in danger And would like British protection.

Political motives may be read in some respects in the flight of the Sultan on a British warship. Great Britain concededly has strong motives for seeing that no harm comes to the Sultan, in view of the many million of Musselmen subjects in her domain, many of whom have given indication of disagreement over the action of the Turkish nationals' display of power.

Today, like yesterday, brought many witnesses to the stand and it is reasonably certain that before court adjourns this afternoon the witnesses for the prosecution will all have been examined.

This morning a number of witnesses from San Jose were placed on the stand, among these being Chas. Hertell and John Guerin, police detectives. Both testified as having been detailed by Sheriff Howard V. Trafton to make a search of Chinatown to place Soo Hoo Tom under arrest. They declared the result of their search was to get a glimpse of the man wanted, but before they could arrest him he succeeded in making his escape.

They saw a car oppo site the Appleton hotel near the Methodist church. They.thought it was a Hudson, and as the light of their car shone upon it it looked like a drak grey in color.

They saw a man running across the street, Mun oz, and in the car was one who looked like Vacarella. They saw the car leave at great speed. One of the interesting witnesses introduced by the prosecution this morning was Mrs. Ina Kapacich, who found the pistol under a rock that was supposed to have ben used in the murder of Ah Lum. When the pistol was presented for identification by District Attorney Ralph H.

Smith, it was identified as being ex- actly like the one found. The rock that covered the pistol was likewise produced and identified and the result was both were retained for evidence. Others testifying and giving about the same testimony as at the last trial were Elizabeth Long, Albert Herrera, Mrs. Mary Forrester, Lew Moy, Lew Ching, George Kingsbury Eugene Steegle, C. N.

Arnold, Geo. Cunningham and A. Zolessi. The latter was also on the stand yesterday and told of the deal made at the Benson garage in San Jose for the sale of the auto used on he trip to Watsonville. Ray Starbird, another witness and captain of the San Jose police, gave a version of the war which was on between the Hop Sing and Bing Ong tongs.

He testified he knew Soo Hoo Tom and that he was a member of the Hip Sing tong. He told the story of a raid with Sheriff Trafton and forming a drag net around the Chinese section.
