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. TralD-Wr.ok.rs Go Up.
