NEARING THE CLOSE.

Arguments in the Trial of EduarcloFrediani for Murder.

Tho Case "Will Soon bo In the Handsof the Jury—Mr. Johnson's

Lengthy Statement.

The testimony in the Frediani murdercas;e is all in, and the arguments werecommenced yesterday forenoon.

Assistant District Attorney Buckley ;was the first to address the jury for the iprosecution. He argued that the evidencein its entirety demonstrated that the kill-ing ofScatini WM nothing short of a cold-blooded murder. Itwas unprovoked, and•was done willfully and with malice.Frediani approached Seatini with murder jin his heart. Regarding the testimony of Ithe defendant, that shortly before thecutting Scatini seized him by the coat anddragged him along the sidewalk to whereBianchini and Galli stood, Mr. Buckleysaid he did not believe it—it was not con-sistent with tlic other testimony in therase. The evidence showed that Fredianihad said something derogatory to Bian- |ohini about Scatini's family, and when i

the deceased met him (the defendant) heput his arm around him, and

(iKNTI.V KOVBD HIM

Toward whore Bianchini stood. liewanted Frediani and Bianchini to meetface to faco. Bianchini told them to letthe matter drop. It was then that Fre-diani renewed his demands for money,and subsequently stabbed Scatini.

Mr. Buckley called the attention of thejury to the fact that the defense reliedconsiderably upon the alleged threats thatScatini had "made. These threats, he said,ifthey were made at all, were not of thekind to warrant Frediani in believingthat his lifewas indanger. The strongesttestimony of threats uttered by Scatiniwas tha tgiven l>y John Pierueeini, whosaid that Scatini told him he intended toskip Frediani's face. There was no evi-dence that Scatini had ever threatened tokill the defendant, or even to do himgreat bodily harm. If he had said hewould kill Frediani, the case would havebeen different. Frediani had annoyed thedeceased greatly, by constantly importun-ing him for the payment of an imaginarydebt of ?t>. The only movement made byScatini, immediately prior to the stabbing,WU to gently push the defendant awayfrom him with his open hand, and to en-treat him to "let him alone."

The only threats of a serious nature,said Mr. Buckley, seemed to come fromFrediani, and not from Scatini. The de-fendant bad exhibited a knife on the dayoftho cutting, and said that "before nightbe would put a hole in him"—meaningthe deceased.

FOR THE DEFENSE.In the afternoon Grove L. Johnson be-

gan his statement to the jury for the de-fense. He occupied all of tiieafternoonsession and will resume his argumentthis morning.

Mr. Johnson paid particular attentionto the testimony of Bianchini that Fredi-ani had said lie would make a hole inScatini that night. The attorney calledattention to the fact that this was suspi-ciously new testimony. Bianchini wasexamined at length in the Police Court,and had been carefully cross-questionedas to all of the minute details connectedwith the case —yet he never mentionedthat threat of Frediani's. Mr. Johnsonremarked sarcastically that no doubtBianchini forgot about it during thoPolice Court examination, yet even thisexplanation looked bad, because it stoodto reason that the witness' memory ofthe stabbing was better at the time of thePolice Court examination than now.When a juror catches a witness makingone false statement, or manufacturingtestimony, he has the right under thelaw to disbelieve all of the testimony ofthat witness. The evidence clearly showedthat Scatini did

BRUTALLY BBAX AND KICK

Frediani. Mr. Johnson said he did notcare whether ornot it was a light kick, asMr. Buckley had contended it was; hedid not care whether or not Frediani's legwas bruised from the kicking, as Fredi-ani testified; but when a man over sixfeet high, powerful and great, as was thedeceased, strikes a weak, helpless, littleold man like Frediani, he was nothingshort of a cowardly bully. Mr. Johnsondeclared that should a man of Scatini'sShysurae and strength treat him as

catfni treated Frediani, he would hidebehind hedges and houses until he got achance, and then he would send his cow-ardly soul before his Maker.

The attorney then reverted to thethreats made by Scatini, and called atten-tion to the remark made by the deceased.that he "would pull Frediani's whiskersout." Ifthere was anything that wouldhumiliate a man more than another itwasto pull his whiskers. Itwas enough torouse any man with a spark of manhoodin him to protect himself.

Mr. Johnson attacked the testimony ofthe witnesses Bianchini and Agostinelli,and intimated that they had not testifiedto the truth in reference to some import-ant matters. In speaking of the evi-dence of the police officers that Fredianiran away and hid himself after killingScatini, the attorney said it cut no figurein the case whatever, and was not an in-dication that Frediani felt himself guilty.He did no more than any other manwould have done under the circum-stances. He would have been a fool ifhehad not done as he did do. Of course lieWas frightened, knowing, as he did,nothing whatever of the American laws,nor of what would happen to him ifcaught. The proposition advanced bythe prosecution that Frediani had been"hunting a light," was characterized asbeing preposterous. It was absurd tos;tythat an aged and weak man like the de-fendant would hunt a tight with a man ofthe deceased's proportions. No malice orintent, argued Mr. Johnson, had beenproved by tho prosecution, and conse-quently the jury could not, under thelaw, find a verdict of guilty.

AMUSEMENTS.

The Metropolitan Theater was packed"from pit to dome" last night to see SybilJohnstone in '"The Clemaneeau One.''The majority went away disappointedbecause the piece was not as immodest asthey expected. The minority were therethrough curiosity, or to judge coolly'"Whether this notorious play is, or is not,one of the agencies that is dragging thestage down into lilthand mire irrevocably.The majority were present to gratify ataste for the nude—it would lie unfair tomiv the obscene, for that was not themotive. It was an audience fairly repre-sentative of citizenship as it goes, and itwas about one-third Sacramentan andtwo-thirds San Franciscan. The gallerywas noisy, indecent in its suggestiveinterjections, and needed the olfices ofa club in the hands of anenergetic officer. The people inThe gallery have rights, but it is theirduty also to refrain from vulgarity. Thogallery made the play worse than it was,and Interpreted into wantonness that initself inoffensive. The story of the "Cle-menceau Case" is this: Ascheming Rus-sian woman, exiled, plans to marry herdaughter to satisfy her own greedfor line feathers, she does not hesi-tate to instil into the girl's mindthe love for finery and to teach her to getit by any means. The girl marries anartist, whom she really loves, but at thegame time becomes the mistress of an-other to satisfy her love for gold and dia-monds. Between the two she leads adual life, is at last found out, and dies bytho hand of her husband at the very inn-, nient that she is asserting her love forhim, but refusing to abandon her para-mour. In one scene the wife posc-s for astatue which her husband is modeling,and it is this scene of ten seconds ofnudity in fleshings from neck to toe thatgives the piece its notoriety mainly. Butit is purity itself compared to the grossness of the deceit, announced prostitu-tion and shame that runs through the

lines of the play. There is not in thewhole thing a thought that is not tingedwith the scheming of the two women todeceive. True, there is the thin disguise ofthe real love of the wife, but whichis powerless before the greed ofthe courtesan. But the nudo pos-ing, not in itself gross, isdragged in. The piece could be just aswell played without it; the story wouldbe as lucid with it omitted. Hence it isa tribute to the taste that demands the ex-posure of the form of woman in nudity,even hidden by silk fleshings. To saythat the posing under such circumstancesis art is to offend common sense. Themarble is the product of the artists' skill;it is pulseless, does not and never has ex-cited an impure emotion or degraded anyhuman being. The pose of a woman inpublic for coin is gross imitation of art—nay, a burlesque upon it. But thatquestion lias * been settled by theages, and it is profitless to discuss it.Sybil Johnstone defends herself on theground of representing or interpretingart and tho author—it is a false plea andan impudent one. Miss Johnstone is atall, lean, prettily formed woman, withan expressionless and unhandsome face.She suffered with a bad eokl last night.But if in voice she cannot give to the partthe finish itcould have in the hands ofgenius, She does not attempt to lift it up,to create apology for it. She plays thepart well from one point of view, how-ever, that of a simple, foolish girl'withoutbrains; but nothing can justify MissJohnstone constantly pushing hex robesabout and between her limbs for the un-disguised purpose of displaying theircontour. Certainly she posed* the wholeevening to display her form, not moregraceful, it would be safe to say, or soBlindsome as any one of, say, fifty-sevenof the sixty-seven ladies who witnessedher performance; Jennie Keiilarthplayed the part of the mother grossly;vulgarized it to the last degree. The nov-elist may possibly have BO intended it,but the French author rarely ifover putstogether a character in feminine guisewith so little tact and wit, as that pre-sented by Miss Reifiarth. Mr.Levick and Mr. Kent had the sav-ing portions of the acting of theevening. They arc accomplished artists.The cleanliness and manliness of theparts they assumed fairly dazzled thomind by its brilliancy of whiteness, inthe ocean ofimparity and wretched de-ceit and vice surrounding them. The

I Clemenceaa Case" will be repeated to-night. Those who believe it is the truemission of the drama to present the worstof life on the stage can have their judg-

jment approved to-night.

The week so inauspiciously openeddramatically last night, willbo redeemedon Thursday, Friday, Saturday, andSaturday matinee, by the appearance attho Metropolitan theater, in plays else-where announced, ofFrederick Warde—second, in our opinion, only to Booth intho dramatic art—and Mrs. D. P. Bowers,one of the best offerings America lias evermade to the stage. Mrs. Bowers, thoughnow a woman well on in years, is in

the front rank of actresses still, andno American has given to the stagemore of fine art, orhas more adorned it.It is to such artists as Mr.Wardeand Mrs.Bowers, Barrett, Booth, and their col-leagues that the stage is indebted to-dayfor the fact that it has not wholly lost therespect of the people. Even the clever,the accomplished clean comedy and com-mendable domestic dramatic companiescould not rescure the drama from thedrift towards the melodeon, were it notthat there are classic artists here andthere who to whom all others may lookup, and whose honest effort and sinceredevotion to the true in the drama, givesit character and dignity still. Onall occasions when Mr. Wardehas appeared here ho has drawn goodhouses. The people have testified totheir appreciation and his genius in anemphatic manner. So, too, Mrs. Bowershas always had in Sacramento large audi-ences, and received the Indorsement ofall lovers of true art. She is a consum-mate artist of the old school —a schoolthat gives the stage to-day the most it hasof classic interpretation,

The Swedish Ladies Octet had a goodaudience in the dress-circle and parquetat the Opera House last night. The con-cert was thoroughly appreciated, and wasan entertainment of an excellent order.It is probable, however, that it proved afinancial loss to its projectors.

"With Closed Doors.Last evening the local Carpenters'

Union, together with representatives ofthe Federated Trades, held a conferencewith the proprietors of the Bee, with ref-

I erence to the troubles existing betweenI that paper and the printers. It had been! given oi!t that the meeting Avas to be apublic one, and representatives' of theother papers were invited to attend. But; when the meeting was called to order V.

| S. McClatchy requested that the meet-; ing be private and that the reporters bei excluded. The union men agreed to this: after Mr. McClatehy had promised thatj he would not pubiish tho proceedings,

AMELIA UNDER FIRE.

Mrs. Gillig's Maid Subjected to a Vig-orous Cross-Examination,

She Sticks to Her Story That She Did

Not Mean to Steal—Her

Explanations.

Tho trial of Amelia Gehring, the youngGerman girl who is charged with stealingvarious articles of jewelry, clothing, etc.,from Mrs. Amy Gillig, while employedas the latter's maid, was resumed yester-day before Judge Davis of Marysville,Bitting in Department Two of the Supe-rior Court.

Miss Gehring's attorney, Clinton L.White, continued to question the defend-ant about the articles found in her pos-session. She identified an elegant card-case, and said it belonged to Mrs. Gillig.It had been packed among her (MissGehring's) things at Mrs. Gillig's requestwhen they were leaving Paris. She saidshe had never claimed the case as herown. Neither did she claim the severalrolls of lace which were found in hertrunk, nor the glove-case, nor the ele-gant lace skirt, all of which have beenheretofore exhibited during the trial. Aseal for stamping Mrs. Gillig's initialswas also found among her things and shedid not know how itgot there. She hadnever used it, she said, though her ini-tials were the same as Mrs. Gillig's.

HKR OKASOM FOR LEAVINO."After my trunk had been searched,"

continued the maid, "I told Mrs. Gilligthat I could not remain with her anylonger, because she ill-treated me. Shemade no reply, but walked out of theroom. I was dressing her hair when Itold her that. While I was in her employMrs. Gillig never accused me of stealing.I left her because she treated me roughly.The fine underwear which I wore whenthey searched me had been given mo byMrs. Gillig. I never stole it."

Miss Gehring, in answer to furtherquestions told where she went after leav-ing the Crocker mansion. She went im-mediately to a Mr. Lang in San Fran-cisco. Mr. Lang had known her in Ger-many. Before she came to this countryshe know that Mr. Lang was in the liquorbusiness in San Francisco, and oncewhile she and Mrs. Gilligwere stoppingat the Lick House, she made inquiries forMr. Lang and discovered his where-al touts.

Mr. White here announced that he wasthrough with the witness, aud he gaveher over to the tender mercies of Mr.Jones, special counsel for the prosecution.

INQUISITIVE JURORS.Before Mr. Jones commenced his cross-

examination, however, several of thejurors propounded a number of conun-drums to the witness.

Jxiror D. A. Lindley wanted to knowwhy Miss Gehring, when she was em-broidering the initials "A. G." on some ofMrs. Gillig's silk (for a present to Mrs.Gillig, as the girl testified) did not putMrs. Gillig's middle initial, "C," in themonogram.

Miss Gehring replied that "A. G."stood for "Amy Gillig," and that shethought was sufficient. The initials werenot intended to stand for "AmeliaGeh-ring." In answer to another questionfrom Mr. Lindley, the defendant said theother waiting-maids, who slept with her,had seen tho lino silk underwear shewore.

Mr. Lindley then wanted the defendantto show him how shecleaned Mrs. Gillig'snecklace on the day that the four gemswere dislodged from it.

CLEANING JEWELS.Miss Gehring took a handkerchief and

rubbed each gem slowly and separately."Is that tho way you did it?" asked the

juror."Yes.""Well, how was it then that four of the

gems were knocked out at the sametime?"

"Idon't know.""They all came off together?""Yes. But I don't know how it hap-

pened. I must have either robbed toohard or too fast."

Other jurors asked questions, butnothing new was developed. The cmss-examination of the defendant was thenbegun. This occupied the rest of theafternoon, and was slow and tedious.Miss Gehring gave a full history of herlife from childhood up to the present, andtold how she got into tho employ of Mrs.Gillig in Paris. She was questionedclosely regarding each article Of clothingand piece of jewelry found in her posses-sion, but in the main she adhered to heroriginal story, that she did not intend tosteal any ofthem.

The case goes on again to-day.—\u2666•
