HOW WATSON WAS KILLED.
Ashworth Makes a Statement
in His Own Defense.
Defending; Counsel Gome to Open
Rupture and Retire.
Mr. Woolner, Alone In It-fending A.h
worlh, Provokes Sum* Oummeut
By the Uourl, and Mow
C'la'ma fJoovptracy.
Thlnge are, to say the leait. Retting
ratber mixed op in the Aahworth mur
der case. When the court opened yes
terday a thunder cloud hovered over
the brow o! Mr. Hledsoe, who has gen
erally been regarded as senior counsel
lor the defense.
Hising Irom his seat he addressed the
court; by imputation hurled defiance at
Mr. Woolner, who, witb the meekness
of a dove, sat quietly by. "Aa counsel
for the de'endant," began Mr. Bledsoe,
' I last evening drew the attention of
the court to the disagreement among
counsel. I have done everything I
could to carry tbe case before the jury
In proper manner. After I had been
appointed by the court to watch the in
teresla of defendant, in conjunction with
Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Woolner came to
me and asked if he might be permitted
lo associate himself with us. I readily
an swered yes, for I waa glad to share the
responsibility, and right now, at this
ju nclion, I want tbe court to say if I
shall be leading counsel in tbis case and
examine witnesses orshall Mr. Woolner.
The defendant desires this man to he
senior counel"—pointing scornfully at
Woolner—"and I ask if tnat is right ?"
Counael turned to the object of bia in
cendo aa if awaiting reply.
"Qo on," replied Mr. Woolner, "make
your statement; I don't know anything
about it."
The court wonld not adjudicate on the
matter but left it to the defendant to
aelect his leading counsel. He chose
Attorney Woolner aud Mr. Bledsoe then
retired from the case.
Thereupon Mr. Carpenter jumped np
and stated that Mr. Bledsoe and him
self bad agreed entirely abcut the c n
duct oi the case, and seeing tbe torn
events bad taken he must ask leave to
withdraw from Ihe ease. He was per
mitted to do co, and he also gracefully
withdrew, leaving Mr. Woolner master
ol the aitnation.
His mode of examining witnesses is
certainly unique, and was only matched
by the objections levelled at Henry T.
Uage, whose caustic little remarks in
reply were not only not appreciated, bnt
did not apparently reach tbe counsel,
who was impervious to suoh attack.
During the aiternoon Judge Clark made
■ome rather sovere remarks regarding
Mr. VVoolner's methods, hut despite all
reatraining intlueucee he wei»t his own
way.
The defendant, while on tbe stand
testifying in his own defense, was at
limes nlmoat jooular, and his statement
in many particulars was vary contra*
lictory. Considering that his oyeeight
is bad and that tbe night of the killing
was, according to him, very dark, hasaw
many things as well as a better-sighted
mau might have seen them in daylight.
OPENING TESTIMONY.
Patricio Watson tirst took the stand,
on recall, and said that upon returning
to tbe ranch last evening be had meas
ured tbe wagon tire and found it to be
two and a half inchee. He tben de
scribed the tracks surrounding the place
wbere tbe body of bis brother was found.
T'mothy Todd, a young farmer resid
ing st Todd's ranch, one mile from the
Watson place, described the finding of
tbe body of Manuel Watson. ' I did not
see any signs of a scuttle," said witness,
"until next day about 3 o'clock. The
wagon track appeared to bave been par
tially obliterated by the scuttling. 1 saw
blood marks close to the body, and to
the west, abont five feet from ttie body,
there were other patches of blood stains
Tbe marks clearly indicated that a man
bad been down, whether on bis back or
not I don't know. 1 inferred this by
tbe hand prints nnd other marks."
Cross»*xamination—"There bad been
some people tbere, I believe, alter the
body was found. The impress on the
sand seemed to indicate a man had lain
on bis baok. 1 saw blood on the
front wheel of tbe wagon, later, and one
drop on the brake-rod. I caw tbe two
pieces of rope found, but don't remem
ber if one had a nooae on it or not."
At the conclusion of this witness's
testimony tbe people rested their case.
Before calling his first witness for the
defense, Mr. Woolner briefly stated that
as every one knew tbis waa a case oi
self-defense. The old man had been
attacked by Manuel Watson aud acted
in self-defense. With thia remark Fred
Maßkew took tbe stand as the first wit
ness. He testified as follows: "I saw
Manuel tbe evening before he was
killed,"
"Was he tben drank?" inquired Mr
Woolner.
Objection made by tbe prosecution.
Mr. Woolner explained tbat be wished
to sbow tbat Manuel Watson was on a
drunken spree from tho evening previous
to bis death np to the time when ho got
into trouble with defendant.
The court overruled the objection and
witness resumed:
"I don't think be was. I had no quar
rel with bim, nor did be chase me off
tbe premises. It was between 0 and 7
o'clock."
Witness's testimony not being just
what defense wanted, be was tem
porarily retired.
Timothy Todd was recalled, and the
defense made him their witness. He
testified as follow,: "I was coming
from Los Angeles on the night of the
stilling. It was between 7 and 8 o'clock,
and was rather dark, tuere being no
moon. As well as I can remember it
got dark about 7 o'clock. I got home
about tbe time defendant arrived at my
father's house. I heard part of the
statement he made."
"Do you remember bim saying he bad
had nothing since morning, and was
faint?"
Objection sustained.
Resuming, witness said: "He ap
peared very much exoited. I saw a
wound over one eye, which appeared to
have been bleeding profusely. ' When I
got to the Watson house. Pat and Jim
came out, and they started out to look
for the body. Pearson and I went to
wards the winery, while the Watsons
went towards Manuel's house. We
went towards the winery because de
fendnnt had informed me where the
■cuttle had taken place. When I caw
the wagon next morning, I saw a bridle
tianging. and the headstall was broken.
The bridle was lunging on one of tbe
standards near the bind wheel. When
Ash worth want into my. father's iouse
■ i
he aaid, I think, tbat be got something
to eat and drink."
"Isn't it a fact that Robert Aahworth
atated at your bouae, in the presence of
your father and mother, tbat Manuel
Watson atopped him on ths road and
took bold of bia hnrae'a head and aaid,
'Yon bave been talking about me
again'; and Asbwortb then told bim if
be did not leave go he would tell bis
mother ? Manuel tben aaid, 'If you tell
my mother, I will laaso and kill you.'
Next be attempted to asaault defendant
twice, and tbe defendant kicked at bim
each time; tbat upon tbe tbird attack
defendant drew hia knife and atabbed
him?"
"I did not hear him say tbat."
"Do you know tbe defendant's genera!
reputation?"
"Yea."
"Waa it it good or bad?"
"Hia general reputation waa good."
''Do you know if Manual Wataon waa
in the habit of getting drunk, and in
such times was of a quarrelsome dispo
sition?"
Objection sustained.
Oroya-examination : "I have always
heard that Aab worth was of an excita
ble disposition."
"Aud tbat whether drunk or sober?"
Objection sustained.
Redirect: "Do you not know tbat de
fendant, being old, ia simple and child
ish."
"Well, 1 suppose he ia inclined tbat
way."
Solomon Todd, the next witneaa
called, testiiied to defendant having
arrived at bis houae with a wound over
tho left eve. "He aeemed much wrought
up," said witness; "and his face was all
bloody and dirty. I gave tbe defendant
some food to strengthen him. I taw a
bridle hanging from tbe wagon as if a
horse had broken loose."
"Do yon know the defendant's reputa
tion for peace and quiet?"
"Yes."
"Is that reputation good or bad?"
"It is good."
Cross-examination: "Have yon not
heard that tbe old gentleman was quick
tempered, excitable and quarrelsome?"
"No, sir; it ia false; I never bave
beard tbat."
"Have you not beard that be was
abusive?"
"1 have never beard It."
George Todd, son of the last witness
and a lad abont 15 years of age, testified
to the arrival of Robert Ash worth at the
ranch about half to three-quarters of an
hour after dark. He also told of tbe de
fendant having told bim about finding a
knife belonging to Manuel Wataon.
Afternoon Session.
George B. Brady was tbe first witness
examined after tbe noon reoess. He
testified to bavins seen Manual Watson
about 8 o'clock on tbe evening previous
to tbe day of tbe killing,when be showed
signs of having been drinking.
On cross-examination witness said
that he saw Manuel talking with some
others, and he conld not say actually
whether he was drank or not. "I saw
bim drink one or two drinks of wine,"
said witness, "and I also took a drink.
I don't know tbat he wbb any further
advanced in tbe stage of intoxioatlon
than myself, and I had only taken one
drink."
Robert Aahworth then took the wit
neea stand end rnsde tbe following
statement: "I am 07 years old, and
bave known the Watson family for'2s
years. When I first knew the family
Manuel was a boy about 13 years old.'
On the day of the trouble Pat Watson
helped me to load my wagon witb wood.
1 went to Wilmington with the wood,
aud after getting my pay started on tbe
return and met Manuel. He got hold of
my horses, and I told him il be didn't
let go I'd go and tell his mother. He
said if I did he'd lasso and kill me. He
climbed up on the wagon twioe, end I
kioked at bim twice. He then went to
the forward part of tbe wagon where I
was and hit me over the eye. I then
got my knife out of my pocket, and
when be came up again I held it in my
right band, and don't know how it hap
pened, it waa so dark. He was drnnk,
I think.
"When first be oame up be said,
'You've been talking abont me,' and
it was when bo got on the brakebar I
kioked as bim. It was so dark I oould
hardly see, but I saw bim sitting on the
ground. I don't know whether I bit
him the second time, but be tried to
slip up on me tbe third time, and tben
I drew my knife. I couldn't see well,
it was getting so dark, and anyway my
right eye is had. I didn't get out of tbe
wagon at all. After I struck bim with
the knife I knelt down in the bed of the
wagon to look and sse if he was hurt
much, and I beard him breathing. I
was glad to get away. I then started
for Todd'a place and felt very weak
when I got tbere.
"Manuel had been np to town that
day witb obeese, and be traded bia
t,OS ANGELA TTEK A LDt THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13 1894.
cbeiae with a Frenchman for wine. I
told tbs Frenchman that Manuel owed
me, and tf be did not pay me 1 would
aue him."
Witness proceeded to tell nf Manuel
having ou a previoua occasion stopped
bim from gathering chips, when Manuel
threw hia knife into tbe cart, saying
that waa tbe way be would throw il
into a man's heart. At that time he
appeared to be mad because defendant
bad told the Frenchman he intended to
aue bim.
"Manuel need to try and get me
mad," resumed witness, "and called me
old .Santa Claua. He owed me $42.50
for wood and he paid me $40, leaving
$2.50. Then tbere was aooupleof gal
lone of wine, at 50cents a gallon. After
I out him w th the knife, I don't know
wbat became of the weapon. When I
was threatened witb being lassoad and
killed, and I a cripple 67 yeara old, 1
thought my life waa in danger. I felt
aa certain my life waa tn danger, just as
certain as I am eitting in this chair. 1
never made any threat against Manuel
tbat I can remember. I never made
any statement to Williamson, tbe
trusty, tbat I bad got out of tbe wagon
and stamped upon deceased. I wouldn't
be such a bruto aa that. I knew Manuel
was drunk, for he never oarried on in
that way when be waan't. When first
the trouble commenced, i hollered and
hollered for help, and I underatood they
beard me up at tbe houae. The first
time I kicked bim with my foot be fell
down, and I think tbere ware made the
signa of scuffle on the ground. Before
the fuee commenced, I got off tbe
wagon and hollered out to Mrs. Wateon.
Manuel was then ehoutine to a sheep
cwdc
herder who ran oil' soared. Before he
returned to the wagon side I had mount
ed inside again, and didn't get off again
untill I got to Todd's. When I got down
I would have run up tbe hill and got
away, but I was frightened he wonld
follow me."
At tbis point witness exposed his
right arm for tbe inspsction of the jury.
From tbe shoulder to the elbonr the
bones have been taken out, and conse
quently tbe arm practically is useless.
Witness dented ever having made any
threats against deceased.
Cross-examination : "It was about tbe
last of June tbat I found Manuel's knife
oloae to my cart wheel. I was too scared
to look to see how be was dressed on tbe
night of the killing. Tbe sheep herder
I saw was on tbe other side of the road
on the northeast, about 30 yards away
from tbe wagon when Manuel shouted
at him."
Mr. Woolner, in his eagerness to ob
ject to questions being put by Mr. Gage,
interposed his objection before there
was really anything to object to. This
action on counsel's part drew from Mr.
Gage the remark that less interruption
would be eminently agreeable to bim
and highly conducive to the proper con
duct of the case.
"Yon interrupt me, Mr. Gage, when
you see fit, and I shall do the same."
"Let him ask his question before you
make your objection, Mr. Woolner,"
sharply remarked the oourt.
"I will do so when you do," responded
Mr. Woolner in en undertone to Mr.
Gage.
A few moments later another little
spat occurred and the court again some
what sharply told Mr. Woolner to keep
quiet save when he bad an objection to
make.
W. H. Pearson, J. Fitzgerald, Mr. and
Mrs. Todd, Timothy Todd, Trusty Will.
iamsoD and a number of other witnesses
were put on the stand to prove, mainly,
tbe character of the defendant for peace
and quiet.
At the conclusion ot this testimony
an adjournment was taken until thia
morning.
