I BAN FRANCISCO, July 17. -The trial of
. iipuls Glass for bribery reached a crucial
• ; stage . today when the prosecution made
i It? first attempt 'to Introduce the testi
[ mpny : of . ten or more supervisors other
th|B.n -Boston, whose votes are said to
i have been bought by Theodore "V. Hal

elinilar offenses," and is often admitted
In. criminal trials for the purpose of

: tdY which he Is being tried.
'Glass, at the present time, is being tried

he defense denies this right, mainly
; oSJ the ground that the state Is not privi

{establish the crime on trial. •
j Che argument on this point, conceded to
Vi of even more than original importance
'«#hce the defection of Second Vice Presl
dtnt Zlmmer from the ranks of the pros
edition's witnesses, occupied the last two
: h»urs of the afternoon session and was
" li* progress at adjournment.
HS"he jurymen were excused at the com
' mencement of the . argument and were
taken by bailiffs to a park near the Tem
¦. pte ¦ Israel, > later to be returned to their
' quarters at the Fairmont hotel.
£' Four Witnesses Called
.Four witnesses were on the stand for
t#e prosecution today. Charles. J. Hall,
. formerly chief clerk In the general offices
of the telephone company, told of more
, : or less frequent visits paid Ito Halsey's
private office by supervisors.
• ,W. J. Phillips, district superintendent
fdtiSan Francisco, gave testimony of no
' moment. .
. Thomas E. Sherwln of Burllngame, who
succeeded E. J. Zimmer as auditor and
now fills that office, gave testimony
which served to strengthen the suspicion
. that the method of voucher receipts In
regular use In the telephone offices was
departed from In the disbursement of the
$50,000 or $60,000 claimed to have been paid
to the supervisors in bribes, and that a
book record of this money was carefully
avoided by order of Glass.
: I The last witness of the day. Supervisor
' Thomas F. Lonergan, told of visits paid
by him to Halsey's office. His testimony,
which was Interrupted by the arguments
6*h the admlsslbility of evidence of '"simi
lar offenses," will be resumed tomorrow.
.t; . Supervisors Often Called
;,, Charles J. Hall, formerly chief clerk
In the telephone company's offices and
who had charge of the' preparation of
I literature in opposition to rival tele
phone concerns, proved a valuable wit
ness for the prosecution, Heney draw-
I ing from him without trouble state
ments that various ones of the super
iors visited Halsey in the letter's of
fices in the old building- in Bush street
and subsequently in the new building
In Montgomery street.
cr Among those seen by Hall to enter
Halsey's private office from one to six
.{ljmes were Supervisors Walsh, Loner
' jjan, Boxton, ' Coleman, Sanderson and
JFuery. He overheard none of the con
versations between any of these and
lialsey. , ',
Mr. Hall knew of no salary roll main
tained by Halsey other than for himself
and Miss Mary Ryan, Halsey's former
stenographer, whose unwilling testi
mony was a keen disappointment to the
prosecution yesterday.
"Do you know from what officer or
officers of the company Halsey received
his Instructions and to whom he re
ported?" was asked.
'^"I do not."
i" Glass There Also
The witness saw Vice President Glass
in Halsey's office four or five times In
t*e period of the alleged briberies, also
Secretary-Treasurer Eaton, but not
Auditor Zlmmer or President Scott.
Heney asked Hall to tell the jury
what were the duties of John Krause,
ftSe of yesterday's unwilling witnesses,
who testified that he was employed un
: der Halsey to work against opposition
telephone companies.
- ; -Delmas, objecting to the question,
said : '
"If we are to Inquire Into the duties
of every employe of the defendant's
company this trial will outlast the life
'of all of us, for I understand that there
•re 10,000 of them."
„"We are not Interested In those
10,000," answered Heney, "but we are
Interested in a few of them, and when
Mr. Zimmer. who knows best about
seme pertinent matters here, refuses to
, become a witness we have no choice
Wat to adduce the fact of the defend
ant's guilt by a process of elimination,
aid show the Jury that no one but Hal-
Sy was authorized to pay bribe
ifSneys, and that he could have drawn
Bis authority from no one but the de
l |ndant Glass."
jDelmas objected to this statement
and assigned it as misconduct on the
. I jrt of Heney. :

feflv-vv: : ¦ • „: ¦•- : ¦ ¦•
Sherwln was at that time traveling au
ditor of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, which owns 61 per
cent of the former corporation's capital
stock.
Audited the Books
"At the time of the fire," said Sher
wln. "I was engaged here In audlng the
Pacific States' books for the yenr 1905.
All of those books except the general
ledger and Journal nnd all of the books
for 1906 except the general ledger and the
journal were burnt up. The voucher
checks' for the last six months of 1905
were similarly destroyed."
These customary checks each have the
signatures of the treasurer and assistant
treasurer, or of President John I. Sabln
or Vice President Louis Glass of E. R.
Zlmmer, as assistant to the president.
He found no record of expenditures by
checks signed by Glass without corre
sponding vouchers where checks were
payable to Halaey.
"Did you find a book marked 'presi
dent's book?' "
"I found no such book."
"Was there a book called 'the presi
dent's register?' "
"There was no book. There was a sheet
that goes through every day with the
vouchers, to be approved by the presi
dent." .
"Did any such sheets contain records
of expenditures by T. V. Halsey approved
by Louis Glass without explanation or
what the expenditures were for?"
Delmas objected on the ground that tne
question called for fragmentary evidence
of a destroyed document when the law
requires that the whole substance or
nothing be stated, and was sustained.
Didn't See Sheets
Heney reframed the question and drew
the answer: "It is very unlikely that I
examined these sheets. I believe they
were Inspected by my asslsatnts, C. (-.
Dickinson and C. W. Young."
Over the most strenuous objection of
the defense the witness said these men
are now In Boston with the American
Bell Telephone company, or were the last
h At h( the afternoon session Mr. Sherwin
was excused after a single unimportant
ql Mr. Heney called Supervisor Andrew M.
Wilson, but he did not answer.
Supervisor Lonergan was placed on
He S gave his previous occupation as
driver of a bakery wagon and said he
has a wife and seven children. He was
elected to the supervlsoral board In No
vember of 1906 and took office the follow
ing January. He soon afterward met at
his home John Krause. "°PP£ slt ""
agent" under Halsey for the Pacific
States Telephone company.
"He said," testified Lonergan, he was
connected with the telephone
and he would like me to come down there
and let him show me over the place. A
month later I met him at Powell and
Market streets and he took me to the tele
phone building on Bush street and showed
me around the place and told me reasons
why there was no necessity for hailng
another telephone company in San Fran-
Bought Lunch for Official
"I was deeply impressed and I said I
agreed with him. Then we went to lunch
together. Mr. Krause paid for It. Lon
ergan could not remember anything hav
ing been said about the Home Telephone
° O Lonergan said he first met Theodore
V Halsey on Pine or Bush streets, be
tween Kearney and Montgomery. He was
Introduced by N. Copus, employed in the
street department of the city. The three
entered Franks' restaurant and went to a
private upstairs room. They had lunch,
for which Halsey paid. There was no
"particular talk" between them.
' "Have anything to drink with the
lunch?" Heney asked.
"I think we had some sauterne."
Lonergnn next saw Halsey In the lat
tcr's office in the telephone building In
February of 1906. Lonergan went there
In response to an Invitation by telephone.
The foolishness of having a dual
"phone system " was at this meeting elab
orated upon by Halsey, and Lonergan
assuror! him he "felt friendly " toward the
established company.
"Was anything said about the Home
Telephone company?" Heney asked.
This was the signal that the prosecu
tion was about to begin the introduction
of "the proof of similar offenses" by
having Lonergan testify to his own guilt
In accepting a bribe from Halsey for his
vote against the rival company's fran
chise application, then about to be In
troduced in the supervlsoral board, and
Attorney Coogan, in the momentary ab
sence of Delmas, entered an objection
that brought the testimony to a full stop.
Judge Lawlor at Mr. Coogan's request
excused the Jury at the commencement
of the arguments and suggested that the
bailiff take the trial twelve to a nearby
park.
"I will send you word when to bring
thorn back," he said.
Mr. Heney opened the argument for the
prosecution.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MOBJTING, JULY 18, 1907
EDUCATOR IS ON
TRIAL FOR MURDER
ACCUSED OF KILLING WIFE'S
MOTHER
Professor Karl Hau, Formerly of
George Washington University,
Faces a Jury In German
Court
By Associated Press.
KARLSKRUE. Germany, July 17.—
The trial of Karl Hau, charged with
the murder of his mother-in-law, Frau
Molltor, in Baden-Baden on the even
ing of November 6, 1906, began in this
city today.
Hau was at one time professor of
Roman law in George Washington
university, Washington. D. C. He prac
ticed law In Washington up to the time
of Ills going abroad with his family
about a year ago. After the alleged
murder he fled to London, where he was
taken into custody.
Mrs. Hau committed suicide by
drowning in June of this year, leaving
a farewell in which she said she could
no longer bear the sorrow of living
apnrt from her hushnnd.
It was once reported that Hau had
confessed to the murder of Frau Moli
tor, but this was later denied.
Hau entered the court room today
three minutes before the session
opened. He was accompanied by his
counsel, Dr. Dietz, iind two gendarmes.
One of these officers sat immediately
behind the prisoner during the entire
session, the muzzle of his rifle showing
above the back of the seat occupied by
the prisoner.
Hau chatted cheerfully with his
counsel, while the newspaper men pres
ent crowded, around the green table
fronting the Judge's bench to inspect
the gruesome exhibit of Frau Molltor's
heart In a glass vessel filled with alco
hol. There was a gaping wound in the
center.
Jury Quickly Selected
The selection of a jury from a venire
of twenty-eight men. of which either
side could reject seven, occupied only
trn minutes. Afterward a list of moro
than seventy witnesses and ten ex
perts to be called was read.
The presiding Judge examined Hau
for three hours. Hau pleaded not
guilty to the charge against him, but
admitted having been in Baden-Baden
the night of the tragedy.
The examination took a wide range,
including Hau's life in Washington and
his visits to Constantinople, in an un
successful attempt to negotiate conces
sions from the porte for certain Amer
ican firms.
Afterward he visited his mother-in
law in Baden-Baden for a week. Then
he went to Paris, accompanied by his
wife and sister-in-law, Olga Molltor.
The Judge here showed the prisoner
a telegram sent from Paris signed
"Olga," asking her mother to come to
Paris immediately and which was not
sent by Olga. Hau refused to say
whether he had written this telegram
or not.
Here the judge reminded him of what
the experts affirmed In this connection
and warned him of the risk he Incurred
In making denials. Hau also declined to
say whether or not he had had a disa
greement in Paris with his wife owing to
her jealousy of, her sister, Olga.
The judge then called Hau's attention
to the fact that on his arrival In London,
on his way to the United States, he had
received a telegram recalling him to the
continent and selecting Berlin as a meet-
Ing place with an unidentified person.
Hau had shown this telegram to his wife
to justify his trip. He admitted he had
sent the message himself.
Wore a False Beard
Hau admitted having had a wig and a
false beard.
He said he threw the wig and beard
from the car window after leaving Char-
Ing Cross, and that his only object In
using them had been to leave London un
recognized.
He admitted, however, to having had a
second false beard made at Frankfort
on-the-Maln. He admitted going to Karls
ruhe November 6, the day of the murder,
wearing a false beard. He refused to
say why he had telephoned Frau Molltor
to come to the railroad station.
Asked whether or not he had heard the
shot fired which caused Frau Molltor's
death he refused to answer. He also re
fused to say whether he carried a pistol.
The Judge read an extract from the
will of Hau's wife, left by her with her
farewell letter before committing sui
cide.
One provision of this document is that
her little daughter should take another
name. The judge said this indicated that
Mrs. Hau was convinced of her husband's
guilt. Hau replied with much feeling that
he had not had a single opportunity while
In prison to have a private talk with his
wife and that If he had she never could
have gained such a conviction.
The judge, before closing the session of
the court confronted Hau repeatedly with
the grave evidence against him, but he
only elicited refusals to answer.
At- the afternoon session Olga Molltor.
who accompanied her mother on the fatal
walk, testified to hearing the steps of a
person walking back and forth In the
park. These steps seemed suddenly to
come much nearer and then there was a
"terrific" explosion in the immediate
vicinity. Her mother sank unconscious.
Olga saw a man making haste to get
away. The collar of his overcoat was
turned up. and the lower part of the
man's coat was wide and flowing, as de
scribed by other witnesses who saw Hau
at the Carlsruhe station. Olga said she
did not see the man's face.
Medical experts and Privy Councillors
Newman of Baden Baden and Andrew of
Carlsruhe then described the autopsy.
