A SCRAP OF PAPER. How it Convicted a Man of Murder - A Bemarkable, o Story. Stockton (Cal.] Independent. “Speeking of circumstantial evidence,” said a gentleman from Contra Costa county, yesterday, to a reporter of The Independent, with whom he had been talking abeut the murder trial, ‘‘calls to my mind the conviction of Robert Lyle in my county, last January, of the mur. der of Patrick Sullivan, and 1 consider it the strangest case, and one on which was the best detective work done that was ever my fortune tomeet with. Tt isa famous case, and has occupied the courts since the year 1881, and gave the officers more trouble to secure a cortviction than adozen ordinary murder cases. They had hardly anything to work on at _first, but stuck to it with the persistence of bloodhounds on the track of a victim, fin- ally securing a conviction almost wholly on the finding of a small pieco of news- per.” Lhe reporter became interested, and suggested that the the gentleman give an account of the affair, which he did in the following language: THE CRIME, “Sullivan was a prosperous farmer and stock raiser, living on Wildeat creek, in the southern part of Contra Costacounty, and Lyle was a near neighbor. The lat ter was always getting into trouble with his neighbors and going to law, particu- larly with Sullivan, In these suits he was gonerally on the wrong side of the question, and, of course, got worsted, which enraged him to sucha degree that he was injudicious enough to make threats against Sullivan’s life, at one time telling the latter’s son that his father would fail to come home some night, On the morning of the day of the murder Sulli- van loft his home with his team and went %o town, where he had a trifling lawsuit with Lyle, before a justice of the peace, in which he was beaten. The prophecy of Lyle was fulfilled, for Sullivan never returned to his home alive. The next morning he was found dead, with his team in a field not far from his home, his arm hanging over the whiffletree and his body lying upon the ground. The first conclusion was that the team had run away with him, thrown him out, dragged him and broken his neck. This theory was strengthened by the fact there was a plainly marked trail for 250 yards, evi- dently made by his body. No marks of blood were on his clothes, and no evi- dence that crime had been commited. At the inquest, when the clothes of the dead man wero removed, it was fonnd that he ha been murdered by some one who had 2 SHOT HIM IN THE BACK. Several of the shots had entered his body, one of them penetrating the heart and two of them embedding themselves in the back ef the wagon seat. I attend- ed the trial and took a great interest it. He was heard to pass the house of a man named Davis about nine o'clock on the night of the murder. The road pass- ed near the house of Lyle, so that if the latter so desired he could lie}in ambush and kill him, “‘When the officers examined the spot where the murder was committed, they found the footPr'mh of a man leading to and from Lyle’s house over the ploughed ground to the place where Sullivan had fallen out of his wagon. They at once suspicioned that Lyle had something to do with the crime, and went to his house, where he was found eating his dinner, They told him he was suspected of the murder, and they were there to mako an inyestigation, ‘I have "expected thi said he, ‘because I have had so much difficulty with Sullivan.” He then told the officers to go ahead and make their search, and that they could not tind any- thing criminating about his place. On two pegs on the wallghe officers found o double-barrelled shot-gun, one of the barrels of which was moist on the inside, and had evidently been recently dis- charged. Some buck-shot were found. although Lyle denied having any, and on the shelf by the buckshot was found » crumpled piece of The San Krancisco Call, & part of which had been torn of yle arrested and lodged in jail i fter which o took the mer's boots and went to the acene of the sup) ambush,’ where he found 1n the brush alongside the road the imprints of » man’s knees. The boots were found TO FIT THE TRACKS in the soit ground perfectly, and at this stage of tfio investigation the Alameda officers offered to hand over the case to the Contra Coata officers, but were de- tailed by the district attorney to work it up, ’l‘go officer continued the weaving of the chain of circumstantial evidence, and again returned to the scene of the mur- der. He went to the place where the tracks of the man's knees been found and ahout thirty feet from that spot found a small piece of paper that had evidently been used as wnfdlng for a gun, I was a bit of newspaper,crumpled and powder- burned, but not so much so that the print could not be plainly read, At the trial the business manager of The Call identified the piece of paper as a part ‘ot an advertisement that had been printed in the paper on the same day and date as the paper found in Lyle's house. This little innocent looking piece of paper was what completed the chain of circumstan- tinl evidence, and consigned Lyle to San Quentin, It was further shown that on the night of the murder, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'dlock, & woman's scroams and entreaties had been heard insulng from Lyle's house. It is -upnowJ that it was Mrs, Lyle, who know that her husband was starting out to kill Sul- livan, and tried to prevent his going. Notwithstanding the plain evidence in the case it took three trials to convict'the cold-blooded murderer, and the last jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree, a verdict that caused the greatest dissatisfaction. I don't generally believe in ing & man on circumstantisl evi dence, but that chain was so strong that no doubt could be entertained of his guilt, Asa lt!‘ll‘. case it beats any- wqtunu"in California’s circumstantial his- For Throat Diseases and Coughs, Brown's BroNcHIAL Trocues, like all {really good things, are frequently imitated. ke genuane are sold only in boxes, Obhamols Underclothing, wearing nothing but a jersey jacket upon the promenade find a strong refuzoagainst the northern blasts in the perforated chamois vest.

The faded photographs on the walls, the portraits of criminals, the keys, the black velvet mask of Mme.

The same remark would apply to the ob- jecta that literally crowd the shelves of an enormous cupboard with glass doors behind the comfortable arm-chair of the Paris chiof of public safety. Repellant fac-similies of individuals of both sexes, a yard or 8o of whip-cord, a small and murderous-looking steel hammer, lit- tle wooden trays filled th false coins, a formidable though miniature ar- ray of burglars’ tools in tiny ivory boxes not unilke those used for rosaries, a reduced model of the gallows flanked by another one of the guillotine—these are but a hundredth part of the bric-a- brac of crime that stares at the visitor in this melodramatic cabinet.

It must always be a great shipping market ain, and this advantage, that the sipbi remains open much longer in the winter than the northern route by the lakes.

Cotton and tobacco, to an enormous value, from the one join the cereals and lumber of the other. It is the largest purecly inland cotton market in the world, though led in this respect by a number of sea-ports. It has re- ceived ina yoar very nearly half a mil- lion bales. This marcketing of supplies was the be- ginning, as it is the staple, of its prosper- ity, add is connected with its situation on the great river. St. Louis counts, in the Missiasippi and 240 navigable tributaries, 10 less than 16,000 miles of waterway, to which steamboats from its levee pene- trate, carrying articles up and down. Professor Waterhouse, of the Washing- ton University, in an interesting pamph- let on the rescurces of Missouri as far back as 1869, cited a solid mile and a half of steamboats lying at this levee, and what it has grown to be since I have not space to show here. Upon this basis, later, has grown up a manufacturing inter- st of importance commensurate with the rest. Some 3000 varied establishments turn out an annual profit of $104,000,000 and put St. Louis seventh in the list of manufacturing cities. For the first time Cincinnati, which figures sixth in this list, leads her as a rival. There are points in which Cincinnati is very similar to St. Louis, and others in which it is much more wide awake and advanced, though it has 100,000 less population. A study into the differences and resem- blances of the two would be interesting to make, but it would be a matter of speculative interest merely, since the question of rivalry, at St. Louis, is di- reoted at Chicago, and Chicago only. —— How to Shorten Lite, T'he receipt is simple, the great English sur told him she only h: you by DR.

Sorghum has a very large amount of sugar in its composition. It is a shallow rooter and its germi at the time of planting, But unless the weather is warm in_the spring the plants will fail. When the temperature of the soil attains 50 degrees at five or six inches in the ground, that is the beat time for planting. Our domesticated plants have obtained their value for us through selection, and the same will prolu%ly be true of sorghum, It seems now as 1f we have clues that will enable us to got earlier variotios, through the so- lection of the right kind of seed, B oxamining sorghum tops you will fin that the upper seeds of the panicle ma- ture earlier than the lower. Consequent- ly we find that by planting immature seed—that is, the lower seeds of the pan- icle—we shall get an earlier crop. We Bropou to test this theory another year. i course the immature seed will give a weaker plant, but the second year it will come back to its usual vigor. Experiments with corn ma; safely transforred to sorghum. = By wreenhouse exweriments it is found that corn roots require at least 81 degrees of temperature, Below that degree of warmth it will not succeed. y our goil thermometers we found that in July the average temparature at three inches be- low the surface was only 79 degrees last season, but the sesson was not one to judge of for general purposes. Sorghum grown on mucky land gives an infericr «nality of juice, we know, but I can’t ex plain why, The sugar in sorghum has in all prob- ability been produced by selection of soed. Originally sorghum was used sole- ly for chewing as a swoet, aud this has caused the seed of the sweetest canes to bo planted and raised, 1f we analyze sorghum juice we shall find a striking want of uniformity in plants grown un- der similar circumstances, The juice will differ 5 or 6 degrees, and this is another reason for selection.

But we require investiga- tion of these questions in many places. Last season was the most unfavorable 6f many years for the growth of sorghum. We grew it at the station, but much of the seed perished, and after the rest came up fully 30 to 35 per cent of that also perished, and we got no mature seed whatever. Under these discouraging circumstances the chemical tests gave us 600 pounds of available sugar and 1,300 pounds of actual sugar per acre. This applies to what may be called practical ftests, Our plots were one-twentieth of an acre, all under difter- ent kinds of treatment. We obtained about 30 per cent of juice, and we observed a great difference in the propor- tion of juice in different plots, as well as of available sugar. There is a great pro- mise in sorghum as a plant for the north- a-n sugar industry. And yet it is not only as a sugar plant that sorghum deserves notice. The staple farming of New York state has been driven closer and closer to the wall in the last few years, The whole tendency of freights is downward, and competition is growing greater. 1 believe staple farm- ing in this state will eventually have to be abandoved, and the farmer will have to go more into special crops. Sorghum looked on as a staple crop holds out great romise. It is a noble plant_for forage. ’l“hc question of the milk producer now is how to get milk at 1 cent a pound. This can only be done by cheapening the cost of keeping cattle;and sorghum offers us a means for doing this. Sorghum as grown for sugar purposes will give n its waste the equivalent in forage value of an acre of grass—simply the leaves and tops. Many are unwisely deterred from going into sorghum through dread of the labor involved: 1 had a letter from Prof. Silliman the other day, who in it mentioned a process which might possibly enable the chemist to pro- duce a sweet that will be sweeter than sugar. Experimentation, in order to be valuable, must be done on a sufficient scale. So long as we have to work on a small scale it would be unsafe to transfer our methods to larger works. This fact has kept back nearly all enterprise in this direction.” i Hear Hi ‘I feel new. 1 was afflicted with sick head- ache'and general debility, but Burdock Elodd Bitters brought about an numediate improve- ment in my genoral health.

The United States supreme court has just made a decision in thu case of the heira-at law of Thusie M. Allen, the late wifeof B. F. Allen, against Thomas F. Withrow, of this city. the solicitor of the Rock Ieland railway, a case involving property in which Mr. Withrow is inter- ested to the extent of $200,000. The suit was begun in Iowa in 1878, and has con- sequently beenonly six years in reach- ing a conclusion. It appears that in_ 1868 the Rock Island and Pacific ¢ rail- way was extending its line from Des Moines to Council Bluffs. An ar- rangement was made &t that time be- tween B.-F. Allan, John F. Tracy and Ebenezer and John Cook to buy lands along the proposed lines for town sites, stations and farming lands—it was a real estate pool. Each one of the partners was to have a fourth interest in the in- vestment. The funds were to be fur- nished by Allen, who was to get 10 per cent a year interest and take the title te the lands in his own name. John Cook and Allen were to select the lands. In April of 1870 this agreement was written down, it being prcvided that Allen was to take a fourth, J. B. Cook a fourth, and Ebenezer Cook one-half, but, as a matter of course, Ebenezer Cook held his in trust for Tracy, who was at that time president of the road. Tracy's interest was in course of time formally transferred to him, In1875 Allen failed, proceedings in bankruptcy were commenced against him, and an assignee was appointed. It is claimed by the plaintiffs that Tracy was under many obligations to Mrs, Allen, that he acknowledged them after Allen's failure, and promised, in view of Allen's bankruptey, to convey to Mrs, Allen his interest in these lands; that he did make a deed of trans- fer, but that its existence became known to some of Allen’s creditors, who threatened to begin proceedings at once to get hold of the land for their own in- terest; that, as the deed had never been recorded, it was thought best that the in- terest conveyed therein should be trans- ferred to some person in trust for her; that Mr. Withrow was selected as Mrs, Allen’s trustee; and that, with this un- derstanding, Tracy oxecuted a second deed to Withrow in November, 1875, for he purpose of creatiny a trust in the interest of Mrs. Allen. ~ This is the sub- stance offthe claim of the plaintiffs The defendant, on the other hand, stated that ho had been engaged in ex- tensive litigation as solicitor for the Rock Island road; that Tracy, as its president, had stated to him that the company had been at great expense; that B. F. Allen was about to go into this land operation, and that Withrow should have an interest in the profits arising from it, and that he must remember this when he came to render his bill against the Rock Island company for these legal services. In consequence of this state- ment of Tracy's he made much low- er against the legal services he otherwise would hove done. erefore, he treated the amount he did n't charge for legal services as a con- sideration for the propcrty in controveray deeded to him by Tracy, which he now holds. That there was any trust for Mrs, Allen he denies. The case was tried first before the United States district court in Iowa, and a decision given in favor of Mr, With- row. An appesl was taken, and the case was heard by the supreme court, and the decree of the lower court affirmed, ety North Pole Expedition Prizo fights, lotteries, walking matches, and balloon ascensions are usually humbugs of the worst sort. - Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Ol is not & humbug.
