Her Condition For Recovery Is
Very Doubtful.
Sasprancisco, Cai... May 17,-8 p. m
—Mrs. McKinley is still alive but her
condition* are such now that there is
s bare possibility of her rallying. The
worse is feared, for lack of reserved
strength makes her ability to recover
from sinking spell doubtful. The
president remains at her br.dsids and
lateral physicians are in attendance.
Galveston relief.
Explained Ry Newt How Money
Was Spent.
Galveston. Te\., May 17.—Owing to
the discussion in the house of repres-
entatives of the Texas state legisla-
ture, racently adjourned, in regard to
the Galveston relief fund, the follow-
ing statement has been prepared by
tbe Galveston News :
"The total cash received from all
aources at Galveston wns $1,243.495;
disbursements, $1,243,639, leaving a
balance of $K,fc5(J. Some claims are
outstanding against the fnnd and sev-
eral luits are pending for adjudication
which will about offset the balance.
Chairman McVitie,of the relief com-
mittee. reports the expenditure of
$132,133. Of this amount, $77,783 was
for supplies purchased by the eonunit-
tee. The valuation of eontributioci of
groceries, provisions, etc., s«nt to the
committee was placed at $2">0,000. The
relief committee sold $58,124 worth of
supplies, eonsiatiug of perishable goods
and disinfectants The relief commit-
tee, which was a sub-committeo of the
central committee, had charge of the
distribution of previsions and clothing
•nd wai in charge of the commission-
era. All funds received by the com-
mittee were turned over to Chairman
John Healy, of the finance committee,
and treasurerof the central committee.
The state legislature sent a special
joint committee to the storm district
in March to report on conditions of the
people in the district and to investi-
gate the method and manner of dis-
tribution of relief funds received by
various committees in said section.
Tbe figures presented above were pre-
pared officially for this legislative com-
mittee. Shortly before adjournment
of the legialature the report of the
joint legislative committee was made
public. Referring to Uslvestion and
the work of the building committee,
the report says:
"It seems that a great number of re-
lief houses were placed upon the land
of well to do people, whe were to re-
ceive rent from the people occupying
them.
"The committee also incorporated in
its report the stuteineut that from $16,-
000 to $20,000 was appropriated by tbe
relief committee to tilt tip certain
places and districts with sand, arid
that such filling was mada to beneHt
tha property of various member* of
■aid committee."
Attorneys Will Finish Their Ar-
guments Tomorrow.
The esse of the territory against Al-
bright is now closed so fur as the e* i-
dence is enneerned and the arguments
| of the attorneys will be closed by m < n
I todav.
I At the outset it was supposed this
j case would take four or live days as
I there were nearly seventy witnesses
'sworn and the taking of testimony o'
| importance usually Is attended wiih
numerous deleys by arguments of ihe
attorneys upon points of law.
Ihe evidence of yesterday is as fol-
lows :
Burdie Tribble again took the stand
when court opened at 0 o'clock and
was questioned by Attorney Biddeson.
"\\ hy is it you do not answer the
questions asked you. w ith more aeeu-
rateness than you do?" was the first
question. "Because I was <1 uite badly
frightened and cannot exactly tell their
position, yet 1 know approximately
their distances from each other and
positions at the different times before
and at at the time of the shooting."
When a borrd was pro duced and she
was asked whether she knew anything
about it, she said. "I do not know
whether it is the board or not."
"To what board do you have refer-
ence?"
"The board that my father had at
the time Albright picked up the ham-
mer."
"Do you know where he dropped
the board'."1
"I do not."
"Do you remember whether tr not
you looked back whea you went to the
gate from the well?"
"I dnn't knew, if 1 did.''
"How do yon know then what was
going on between Albright and your
father and mother?"
"Well, I think now that I did look
once or twice."
"What was Albright doing when you
went from the well up to the gate, do
you know?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did you hear all that was said?"
"Not all of it."
"Was there very much said between
Albright and your father?"
"Yes sir, there was."
"What was said by either of them?"
"1 do not remember."
"Are you sure there was anything at
all said?"
"Yes sir,I am quite sure,".
When nsktd to state to the jury
what happened and about how long
she had been looking before the shot
was fired, she said she had been ttimed
face toward them for a litte while but
did not know just how long and that
she could not hear exactly what was
said by any of them, but after Albright
came up closo to her father she could
hear hut was not sure whether or not
he told Albright not to shoot. 8he de-
scribed the path that leads to the wall
and house and located the woodpile in
reference to the path and gavathe dis-
tance as about three or four IttfS,
"In what direction was your father
"hen you were at the gate?"
"Northeast of ihe well."
"What was he doing?"
"doming toward the house."
"tt here was your mother?"
• oming not far from father."
"State all trie talk that took place
between you and your parents at any
time from Saturday up to the killing?"
I told my mother on Saturday about
what Mr. Albright said about the dog
and that after father came home I toid
him, but mother was in the kitchen at
this time and we were in the front
room. There was nothing said be
11 my parents about it that I h"iird
but on Sundsy they went after the
water themselves. On Monday morn-
ing there was nothing said about it and
my sister and I were tent to the well
after water. We passed father and
brother as we went and they were di e
torinj a ho se but wo said nothing
After we got to the well Mr. Albright
began talking about our dog and say-
ing \ ulgar things and we did not sav
anything to him. I did not see Mrs.
Albright and soon after we reached the
well my mother came and then my
father and brother."
Mrs. Tribble again took the stand
Had was asked if she could remember
of ever having seen the board. She
stated that she could not: but the
board that her huabard had was about
the same size, (the one produced was
about 0x24 and 1 Inch thick).
"Is this the board you identified at
the preliminary examination?" "I
don't know," was her answer, after
which Wm. Tribble took the stand
and was asked to give a description of
the surroundings of the scene of the
trouble. He stated that his mother
had goiiM over first and then soon after
he and his father started, he being a
few steps behind Mr. Tribble. "I
could not bear," he said, "what was
taking place in words between Mr. Al-
bright and my mother, but as soon as
I got there my father said !o Mr. Al-
bright: "Do not talk to the girls that
way.' To this Mr. Albright replied
that he would if he wanted to. -My
father was then accused by him of
stealing a singletree and said, 'Old
man, don't'talk that way.' About this
time Mr. Albright picked up a ham-
mer and my father a board. Mr. Al-
bright was only about 10 feet from my
father and I don't know whether fath-
er moved or not, but Mr. Albright said
he would shoot him and went in the
house after a gun. By this time
father had started toward home, but
Albright came out and circled around
him and father turned half round and
stopped. Albright came up and I next
noticed that father had hold of the end
of the gun pushing it away to his left
but just at that moment the discharge
was made and father fell to the ground.
My mother run up and grabbed the
gun and was thrown around and
then knocked down by Mr. Albright by
a blow on the side of the head with
bis (1st. Aftfr she got up she told me
to go after some one and I did not
know until then that father was dead."
Mr. I,owry, for the defendant, then
questioned young Tribble as follows :
"When did you come bome?"
