LE DOUX IN GOOD SPIRITS Murder Trial Has Little Effect Upon Her - Much Corroborative Testimony Introduced STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 16 - The prosecution is still introducing evidence in the LE DOUX murder case. The testimony this morning was largely of a corroborative character, supporting testimony already given, with particular reference to the departure of McVICAR and the woman from the Rawhide Mine, ostensibly that he might take charge of the ranch conducted near Jackson by his wife's mother, Mrs. HEAD. It is the contention of the prosecution that this was all part of the plan of Mrs. LE DOUX to entice McVICAR from the mine that she might be in a better position to make away with him. Mrs. Jennie HOFFMAN, a waitress at the Rawhide boarding-house, repeated under cross-examination, and without variation, her story about Mrs. LE DOUX burning letters she had written to McVICAR; the defendant's admiration of her "nice large trunk" and other matters surrounding the departure from the Rawhide in a buggy on a stormy night. Witnesses who had known McVICAR for months testified to his good health and freedom from disease and the correspondence between the woman and himself as man and wife. The shipment and re-shipment of furniture to suit the sudden change of plans, it having been the original intention for them to remain at the mine, was also gone into. The defense strenuously objected to all points, and declared testimony to the effect that McVICAR had not been a morphine user was an attempt to anticipate the defense. The defendant appears in good spirits, but her mother's face shows that the trial is a strain upon her. She looks very careworn.
