Johnson broke Into tears In the courtroom this morning when the blood-stained garments worn by the -young: man on the night of the shooting In the Prescott home were produced In evidence bv, Deputy Coroner Bert Sargent. Johnson was seated beside the aged and broken-hearted, father of the murdered youth in the courtroom and had been engaged in comforting him. was not called as a witness In the case, but had come to the courtroom merely to care for her father, Louis Thompson, who appeared as the complaining witness against Prescott.

Sensational testimony was In the hearing, when Judge Fr'tck, appearing for the defendant, demanded that the courtroom be- cleared of all but court officers and those concerned In the case. Judge Aaron Turner, sitting for Judge Mortimer Smith, who is ill, asked the reason for the request, but Frlck explained that he did not have to give the reason, as it was his legal right. The requesjKa complied with. The testimony brought no new light to bear upon the shooting of Thompson by Prescott when he found the young man, his shoes and coat removed, fti'the bedroom of Mrs. Prescott, his wife, on the night of February 28, at 1842 Adeline street.

The facts as to the action of Prescott' In concealing himself In the bungalow which had formed his home in Adeline' street, of his long vigil waiting armed for the return of his of, his rage w-hen he saw yoking Thompson- about to embrace Mrs. Kate Prescott tn the bedroom of own -house, of the shot which killed Thompson, and of Prescott's surrender and statement the police.

Only once, during '-sthe testimony of Louis Thompson, thefather of the man he had killed, did he shade his eyes and a slight quiver about trie lips told of emotion restrained and held in check with difficulty. The hearing was continued till tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when It will be resumed, as all the witnesses were not available today. It is thought that Judge Frlck, for the defendant, will reserve his battle for Prescott' life and liberty for the trial before the Superior Court. Mrs.

Prescott has jnot been placed on the stand and neither has George Carson, the close friend and confidante of the dead man. Frick anticipates using these two witnesses to up the i fabric which will permit his making his appeal to the unwritten law as a Justification in some measure for the act of his client. But this morning he declared that he would put on only two more witnesses at the preliminary hearing. The most sensational testimony to bo developed will be elicited, It Is thought, from George Carson and Mrs. Maude Clarke, While the body of RaTph Thompson, yet warm, was lying in blood on the floor of the bedroom of Mrs Prescott at 1842 Adeline' street, -Mrs.

Clarke had rushed to the telephone and called up George Carson, the roommate of the dead man. "You must get those letters from Kate to Ralph quick," Mrs. Clarke told the young man. "They are In the room and you must find them before the police Carson has admitted that Mrs. Clarke came to the roqm.

obtained the letters and left. Carson also admitted that, the letters lnquestlon were correspondence between Mrs. Prescott and Thompson. What has become of the letters Is not known, but It is 'understood that Judge Frlck will rely on this testimony, with that of the defendant and "the police as to what took place" at the Prescott home on the night of February 28, when the shooting took place, to make good his appeal to the unwritten law, by which Prescott has Hnneht to justify his act. 65,656.00 1,471,082.00 2,713,935.00 5,136,667.00 $17,859,777.00 $19,610,794.00 $21,397,903.00 Cor.
