MURDERER CRAIG EXAMINED. The Brute Held for Trial Without Bonds. Defense to Claim His Wife's Death an Accident. ■eenes at the Follee Station Whit Orslj was Taken Inta Court-Trie ■ vl denee In Fnll—Cralg'a Demeannr. Never ainee the Anachlag eaas has there been so much interest centered in a preliminary examination as there was in that of the triple murderer, ex-Po liceman John Craig. The case was called before Justice Seaman in tbe old city ball at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing, and tha fellow was examined for the aaurder of his poor wife, Emily Craig. He was held for trial in the superior court and committed to the custody of Sheriff Cline without bail. Long before the hour set for the bear ing great crowds of people thronged the street in front of the Second street police atation, all anxious to get a glimpse of the man who so wantonly and without reason shot in cold blood his wife, brother-in-law, lather in-law and mother-in-law. Three of them were killed instantly, while the brother-in law, George Hunter, ia still alive, with chances for his life and death about even. Besides Mrs. Craig tbe killed were Mr. and Mrs. William Hunter. The crowds tbat thronged the side walk before the murderer reached the station from the county jail had to be kept back by policemen. A reserve force of officers were held at the station in case of trouble. When the guards at the oonnty jail approached the murderer's cell to take him out, Craig became very pale, but said nothing. He showed cowardice, but after reaching the patrol wagon re gained his oomposure. His air of indif ference and stolidity was remarked by all who saw bim, his demeanor only changing as he gazed into the faces of the hundreds at the station. He was bustled into tbe wagon at the jail, and conveyed to the station with little cere mony and as rapidly as possible. Tbe guard was composed of Deputy Sheriff William Cliue, Deputy Sheriff A. W. Marsh, Detective Goodman and Offioers Hensley, Bates and Arguello. At the atation Craig waa hustled into tbe city prison, and a few minutes afterward taken np the jail stairway into Judge Seaman's oonrtroom. Tbe great, anxious crowd filed up the outer stairway and soon filled the room to almost suffocation. People, morbid minded curiosity seekers, tumbled and jostled against each other in their at tempts to catch a glimpse of the mur derer. Craig could easily be recognized, for his head was completely bandaged in white cloths. He has almost decided that hia wounded head doea not pain him aa much as be endeavored to have people believe, and his ehanees of gain ing sympathy are abandoned aa a hope lets task. IN COURT. When Justice Seaman called the eate at 9:35 o'clock, every eye waa turned to ward tha murderer, who appeared very indifferent to the proceedinga. There was such a noise among the spectators and these attempting to gain admission that Judge Seaman ordered Bailiff Acpel to clear a passageway to the door. The policemen soon quieted things down. Deputy District Attorneys Davis and Hash represented the state, Horace Ap pel assisted in behalf of tbe Hunter family, and G. A. Williams and B. W. Mcintosh appeared as counsel for the defendant. Tbe defendant's counsel had not pat in an appearance when the case was called. Deputy Sheriff Cline, at the re quest of Craig, announced that he, Craig, waa not ready for examination, owing to tbe absence of his attorney. J. Marion Brooks waa supposed to act aa attorney for Craig, but it afterward turned out otherwise. Judge Seaman said he was of the opinion tbat it was not Mr. Brooks' in tention to represent Craig, and ordered the examination to proceed. Craig's attorneys soon after entered and were placed on record as appearing for him. Great interest seemed to center on the flist witness. There were only two eye witnesses of the murder of Mrs. Craig, the servant girl, Tina Jensen, and Mur derer Craig's 9-year-old son. Tina jensbn's story. Miss Tina Jensen was tbe first witness called. She had to be assisted from her chair, and when she moved toward the stand Craig grew nervous and aa pale aa a aheet. The murderer turned his ear, holding hia band aa if to catch every word aaid by the young woman. Daring her testimony he prompted his attorneys aa if be was being tried on an indifferent ease of battery or for a lesser offense. Miss Jensen began nervously. She gave in detail tbe horrible facta of the killing, eaying that on the evening of CUT THIS OUT (NEW SERIES.)

Jnly 25th the waa employed at the Hun ter ranch. She and Mra. Emily Craig; were engaged in the kitchen getting sap per. She heard Mra. Craig ecream, and upon looking oat caw Craig drive up. Mrs. Craig had aeen her husband from the window. The witnesa and Mrs. Craig ran and locked the doora when Craig went to the back door and called his wife. She asked him what he wanted, in reply to which he aaid he wanted to ace bia children. Mra. Craig told him he had no right to see them, and immediately asked Craig if he knew there was a man on the place. Craig asked where he was. George Hunter, brother of Mrs. Craig, came up at that moment, when Mrs. Craig said: "There he is now." THE KILLING. Craig and George Hunter had a few words, though the witness could not hear what was said, when Hunter passed through the hall and came back to the door where Craig was standing. Just as he stepped from the door to the ground and spoke to Craig the latter de liberately shot George Hunter, who fell. Placing the revolver to the acreen door he Immediately fired at Mra. Craig, and ahe fell dead, never uttering a sound after the ebot was fired. STEFPED OVER HIS WIFE'S BODY. The murderer calmly stepped over ths dead body of his wife and that of tbe wounded man and went into the house. Drawing two revolvers, be levelled them at the witness and said he had enough revolvers for the whole family. At this the witness fled from the house, going to Asa Hunter's house, half a miie distant. In passing the window of the house where the shooting occurred, tbe witness saw the murderer kiss the little baby and then leave tbe bouse. In continuing, Miss Jensen said tbat when Craig came into tha room after shooting bis wife and Gaorge Hunter, be said that the witness had been against him and he would shoot her too. After Craig left the bouse she heard a shot, as she waa running toward Asa Hunter's. Tue witness said she had never seen anything wrong with Craig during tbe nine months ahe had known him. She considered him aober on the day of the abooting. There were present at the house at ths time of shooting the witness and Craig's three children— Willie, aged 9; Walter, aged 5, and an 18-montha-old baby girl. Attorney Mcintosh then examined the witness on behalf of the defendant. She gave tbe position of Craig's arms when he shot his wife and George Hunter, and testified as to his condition, saying he did not appear in the least excited nor out of his usual temperament. When Craig came up to tbe house, she said, he addressed bis wife from a dis tance of about 12 feet. Tbe witness re peated tbe same story she had given when questioned by the attorney for the prosecution. She said that George Hunter had not been staying in the north room up to two weeke ago; there are five rooms—three bedrooms, tbe parlor and kitchen. Craig, after shoot ing hia wife and Hnnter, passed through the kitchen into the hall. He went into no room. The witness thought Oraig bad no clothing or property in tbe house at the time. On returning to the deacription of tbe ahooting, tbe witnesa said Oraig was standing about half way between the door and a walnut tree. There were only two shots fired, and but a second's intermission between them. The re volver in Craig's right band was fired at Hunter, the one in the lett hand being fired at Mrs. Craig. When Craig ap proached witness after the shooting,she knocked his hand aside, for he had a revolver levelled at her. After witness had lied from the house, she was overtaken by Willie Craig about half way between Asa Hunter's. She waa passing througb tbe willows when she heard the third shot. She saw the buggy as Craig drove away. Mrs. Craig and the witnesa had apent the day at a family's, named Ralph, in the southwestern part of the city. They returned home shortly after 6 o'clock. This closed the eross-examlnation. When AttorneyMolntjsbbad finished questioning the witnees, Deputy Dis trict Attorney Davis asked her if Oraig expressed any sorrow or remorse at what he had done, to which she replied that he did not. ASA HUNTER'S TESTIMONY. Asa Hunter, who lives on a ranch half a mile distant from William Hunter's ranch, the scene of the shooting, was then called to the stand. He said that he saw Mrs. Craig, bis niece, shortly after 6 o'clock. He waa at William Hunter's house, going home at once. Juat aa be sat down to supper Willie Craig ran up to the kitchen door and screamed. He told us tbat bis father bad shot both his (Willies) mother and his uncle George. The witness ran ont, met Miss Jensen, who, with his wife, fainted. He threw water in their faces and jumping upon his horse started for William Hunter's his brother's, house. There be found George Hunter and Emily Craig lying as if dead. He examined Emily and found her lifeless; George was still breathing. He then started in pursuit of the murderer, having seen him pane hia, witness', bouse, as he started to the scene. Upon cross-examination he thought it was a little before 7 o'clock when he saw Craig pass, going toward the city. The witness thought the attorneys for the defense were trying to "rattle" bim, so he asked tho court the privilege of "telling the truth and nothing but the truth." He returned to tbe detuils of finding the bodies when he reached the scene of the shooting. George Hunter's body was* lying in blood, which was streaming from his face. A great clot of blood was upon tbe face of Emily Craig. The witnesa said he was the first per son to reach the scene after the deed, going to the house in four minutes. He found the. children screaming lor their dead mother. The screen door was closed between Georga Hnnter and the body of Mrs. Craig. Huntsr lay outside tbe door, while Mrs. Craig had fallen just inside, with ber feet almost touching the door. THE POST MORTEM. Dr. Wernigk, who, with Dr. George L. Cole, hold tbe post mortem upon the body of Mra. Craig, testified to finding a bullet wound directly under the left eye, passing directly through and im bedding itaelf in the skull, which was fractured. The wound was snffioient to cause instant death. The face was pow der-burned, showing the shot to have been fired at close range. Upon cross-examination he could not tell whether the ballet was a32or 38 calibre. CBAIO HELD TO ANSWER. At this juncture Deputy Distriot At torney J. It. Rush said it was the opin ion of the prosecution that enough tes timony had been taken, and rested the case, whereupon Attorney Mcintosh also reated for the defense. "It ii the order of the court." aaid LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, 1894. Justice Seaman, "that the defendant be held to answer to the euperior court upon th" charge of murdering Emily Craig, and that the defendant atand committed without bail." Craig waa sent back to the county Jail soon after tbe crowd dispersed from the court room and aronnd the station. THE SUPPOSED DEFENSE. The line of defense, it is nnderstood, will be an attempt to prove that when George Hunter emerged from tbe door whore Craig shot him, Hunter made a threatening move. Craig resented by firing two shots, one of which pnrposely struck Hunter, the other striking Mrs. Oraig by accident. She was standing almost behind her brother, though in side the door, and when he fell she attempted to catch him. In doing ao, the defence will allege, she was shot accidentally. This is the only defense to be argned, so tar as is known, though the insanity dodge has been mentioned. In either case there is but little doabt that the murderer will get his just deserts at the bands of the law. Craig may, perhaps, be arraigned to day on the charge of killing Mrs. Win. Hunter. His examination for the kill ing of her husband will be held next Friday morning at 9:30 in Justice Sea man's court. CLOSING DAYS IN CAMP. THE ENJOYMENT OF THE VETER ANS STILL IN FULL BLAST.

The Docnment Presented by the City Attorney Doee Not Please the Majority of the Oonaoll. They Oppese It. The council tackled the mnch vexed oil well question at a special session yesterday afternoon. President Teed was in the chair and in order to open tbe proceedings called for tbe reading of the revised ordinance which was tacked on as an addendum to the report of the city attorney presented at the ssssion of the council on Monday. This nsw ordinance differs very exten sively from the original document and is by no mssns so restrictive in its character as the first one prepared. The new ordinance stipulates that • permit shall be obtained from the fire commission before a well shall be drilled or operated outside of the general fire limits. Farther, that no engine shall be operated for oil well or other purposes, except between 5 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening and that the plant eball not be operated in a manner offensive to people residing in tbe immediate neighbornood. As to the noxious fumes and smoke the oil men are reqnired to use smoke consumers and in tbe event of failure to comply with these conditions tbe permit to operate shall be revoked on two days' notice. When a well has bsen drilled to the oil sand the derrick mnst be removed within 80 days. Any violation of the conditions of tbe ordinance sub jects the offender to a fine of $100 or 50 days in jail. Mr. Nickel! opened the ball with re gard to tne new ordinance prepared by City Attorney McFarlend by saying: "I do not remember tbat we instructed tbe city attorney to place a clause in this or dinance providing that tbe permission of tbe fire commission should first be obtained before oiljwells could be drilled. We directed him to draw up an ordi nance governing the manner in which the wells should be operated ao that they would not interfere with public health. I therefore move to strike out tbat section." Mr. lanes stated it waa time tbat tbia oil well matter was settled. Tnis was the third ordinance which bad been drawn np and he would like to know jost what Mr. Nickell wanted in the or dinance. If this one was not satisfac tory he would move tbat the matter be referred to a special committee consist ing of Messrs. Nickell, Rhodes and Campbell to prepare one to suit their ideas. Mr. Nlckell then stated that ha waa not in favor ol the clause limiting the operation of the wells between the hours of 5 a. m. and 7 p. m. E, A. Rogers on behalf of the oil men then appeared before tbe council and stated that if the hoars for pumping the oil wore limited it would work a positive financial injury to tbe oil men, as it was necessary tbat they should pump their wells during the entire 24 hours in order to obtain fall results from their invest ment. Ths proviso with regard to the re moval of derricks was stricken ont, as was also ths section limiting the hours of pumping, although the clause was changed to read tbat wells should not bo drilled exoepc between 5 a. in. and 7 p. m. A clause providing that all slush and debris from the wells should be re moved was adopted, and tbe ordinance was then referred to the committee on fire and water te further whip it into shape and more closely comply with tbe ideas of tbe councilman as expressed at the meeting last week, COURT NOTES. sirs.

Nothing like Ci-TicraA Hfmjtiies was ever manufactured. For three years have I suffered with a sore bead. I would break out ail over my hcadwith pimples which would florin a watery matter, and I would have to scratch until I would bleed. After doctoring witb two doctors for three years, more or less, I Anally made up my mind to try your CuucrjßA Remedies, with result entirely satisfactory to me. After using two sets I am entirely cured. I have rec ommended your remedies to several persons, and they all tell me they are No. 1. Our druggist is doing a nice business in Cuticcra Remedies, since uiy cure. I have given him the privilege of using my name as proof of their efficiency. I enclose uiy portrait. A. F. GRAMM, Photographer, Mt. Horeb, Wis. SALT RHEUM CURED My wife has been troubled with the salt rheum for four years. During this time doctors of Wisconsin, Illinois, and the most eminent of Chicago, failed to give relief. I bought the Cuticura Remedies, and she used only one box of Cuticura, one calce of Cuticura ffoAP, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and tbese L: we- cured her completely. C.
