Wolverton 9, Andreivs A Difference of Opinion, SAN F'RANCISCO, Jan, 15.—A groat diffe ence of opinion exists in r to the Weir- Murphy fight Monday night. The “*Spider's" friends claim he was not in condition and that his stomach went ba on him in the thirteenth round so that he coaid not hit a blow. His enemies, however, declare he faked the fight, and what they say is borne out by his remarkabie recovery the moment he reached his dressing room. The best judges say he found it impossible to knock out the Australian, who did not know when he was whipped and who proved able to endure great pumshment, and that 1 disgust Weir threw up the fight, as he knew the club would not tolerate a draw. Weir demoustrated his immense superiority to Murphy as a boxer and hit him whenever and wuerever he pleased in the first ten rounds. His blows, although they damaged Murphy's face, did not rattle or seriously distress him, Weir wants to have a return watch with Murphy, but the Australian shows no willingness to meet him again, as, if the “‘Spider” were in condition, he could easily knock Murphy out.

Whon he avpeared he threw off his ulster and sealskin cap and vrepared for battle, and the case com- raenced, Before this, however, court officers hus- tlal to and fro getting the witnesses to- gether, and Mr, V. der V., Mr. Wilcox and their friends button-holed each other and held hurried consultations. On the bleach- ing boards—so to speak—sat Mr. Yost, James Creighton, Mr. V. der V., Dan Shel- ey, Charlie Goodrich and a host of iuter- ested citizens, some of whom were witnesses in the case. The other seats were occupied by attorneys of varied ability, who were in- terested in the case and who took mnotes of the proceedings. As the testimony was given and proceeded the lack of evidence on the part of the defense. became evident, aud the crowd became interested. Dick Hall, the attorney for the defense, proved himself tho king of kickers, He objected to every question asked by the state, and failled to cross-question a single witness. When the state rested and the time came for the defense to introduce their witnesses, not a witness appeared; they hud no evidence to introduce in defense of their libel, and the crowd who had been exvecting a bomb shell from them were not _only disappointed, but disgusted. They had expected some rare and ragy testimony from the defense, buv it laid down and produced uothing but ob- jections. Hall was in contempt of court sevoral times by reason of his insolent re- marks, but owing to Judge Helsley’s leniency the matter was overlooked. When the rass was fimshed Mr. Hall declined to make an argument and closed the case, saying that he would submit a brief on the day following, This was finaily agroed to and the State vs Wilcox came up. Vanacrvoort's Trial, Alarge part of the afternoon was con- sumed with cross-firing between the attor- neys, which in nearly every instance was brought about by counsel for defendant seeking 1o suppress the testimony of wit- nesses and engaging in long winded quib- bling, to which the court very frequently could see no point whatever. 'he case of the State vs. Vandervoort was called first. Mr. E. Rosewater was the first wituess, He testified to having known Van- dervoort for about fourteen years, and to knowing of the Republican, as a paper of general circulation, since 1863, He had read, in a copy of that papor beuring date of January 4, 1500, the article referring to him- self. Ho believed that the same Vauder- voort whose signature appeared at the bot. tom of that article was the defendant then before the court. The article was then read, after which counsel for the defendant waived his right to cross-examinc Rosewater. William G. Richardson was the next wit- ness called. He was a newspuper man, and .said that he had known Vandervoort per- sonaily but a short. time, thougii had known him by sight for three years, uary 4, last, he saw Vandervoort in his office in® the federal buiiding, Witness Introduced him- self us a representative of the Associated press, which was the same as saying that he was employed oun the staff of I'me Bee. After witness had talked to Vandervoort a while W. J. Broatch came in and told Vandervoort that a warrant had been issued for his (Vandervoort's) arrest. Vandervoort then put on his overcoat to go out. and Iichardson said to him, *I under- stand there is a report on the treet that you did not write that arucle on Mr. Rosewater in the Republican,” To this witness said that Vandervoort replied: “Stuff and non- sensol Of course I wrote it; wrote it my- selfl.” Fred Nyo was the third witness, Mr Nye d ho was & newspaper man, but was not in the newspaper business now. His last newspaper connection wus with the World- Herald, -He bad been connected with the Republican until September last; had seen the arucle by Vandervoort concerning Mr, Rosewater that was published in the Repub- iican, He was unable to stawe whether he ever, while connected with the Republican, had bandled manuscript which castereflections on Mr. Losewat that 18, Le could not, he explained, specify words or sentences, yet he had an indistinct recollection of declining to publish an article submitted by Vandervoort, and which res flected on Mr. Rosewator. J. C. Wilcox was the next witness called, When asked by the state's attorney whether he had been shown the article in question, before its publication, Hall, who is counsel for both Vandervoort and Wilcox, shouted forth a vehement protest against Wilcox answoering the question, saying: “Now, sec nere, Wilcox! Wilcox! Iook out for your- self sharp—be awful careful” Then Mr, Mahoney, in his calm, forcible manner, end with a smile upon his face, arose and proceeded to remark that although it was none of his busiuess, he saw no occasion for counsel for defense scaring his client out of his boots, us iL was very necessary for the interest of that same client that he kept in as calm and clear headed a condition as possible. i\ ““That's n{l right, sir: that's all right,” Hall ulml)Pe\l back, *‘but I guess T know my business.” . “You never needed to know it any better, 1 guess, than just now," quietly and smil- 1wely replied Mr, Mahone, Searcely the state's attorney got the last words out of his mouth when Wilcox, his great face now the tint of a blood rare cut of roast beet, and his great boay squirm- ing and wincing under the shock of Hall's explosive words, remarked : “Well, I should say-—' “Plague it all, don’t say a word!" shut off Hall again, und added: “Don’t you speak again. Why, what are you trying to do! Beat your own ease?” ¥ Wiicox dasbed away several big beads of perspiration which had welled forth on uc- count of this second break of Hall's, and giving one side of his chwr a pound, und looking straight into Hall's eyes, he ex- claumed “See bore! thay I Hall was on his feet again like a paotuer, bus pale, busby bair stanging on end, aud in A tone that wis a sort of hissivg roar he yolled: : “See here, Wilcox! I'm goiug to positively decling to 4ct as your counsel or w0 ever do another thing for you 1o the way of helping you out of this scrape if you doa't sbut up and obey wy orders to you, and obey theiu implicitly, Hear what I say now: Keep stiil until I tell you to speak ! The court, the lawyers, spectators and everybody present swmiled, aud foally sev- eral laughed outright. And poor Wilcox! He looked exactly as if he would gladly give all that ho possessed to Juwp upou Hall and pound biw iow ibe by the case AN was goiug to say was and-by. Mad?! Ho was raging mad, If ap poarances go for anything, but he hold his peace until Judge Helsley, bending over his desk, asked: “Were you going to answer that question?'! “Why, bless you, no—course not,” repiied Wilcox. ' “I've got some sense—haint a fool, quite " “What were you going to say, thon 1" said Hall, glaring ot his client. “Simply going to nsk to seo the cony of the Republican coutaining the article in ques tion?" ‘Then everybody laughed again, and Hall looked silly Wilcox was showa the paper, While he was engagod reading the urticle, evideatly with great eagerness and care, Hall rosumet talk on s protest against witness telling the court whether he had seen tne articlo before its going into print. To tho almost utter collapse of Hall, the court finally ruled tuat Wilcox should ‘answer the question, Wilcox's answer was that he did not think the article was shown to him prior to its publication. In reply to moro aquestioning from tho state's attorney he admitted hav ing had froquent conversations with Van- dervoort, both before and after the public tion of the article. With this tho state announced that it vested. Hall asked for time to make argu- ments and cite some authorities, Maho 8aw nothing to make any arguments o Then the court told Hall ‘he could submi arguments and authorities, proviaing he gave the state’s attorney a copy of them. T'his he agreed to do, and the Vandervoort case closed without the defense doing a part- iclo of cross-examining, so far as the witness Wilcox was concerned. The case of the State against the same charge, criminal diately taken up, und City Comptrolier Goodrich was tho firdt witness called. Ho had known detendant for several years and the Republivan for twenty-soven or twenty- cight years, A bid from the Republican for the city printing was received January 4, 1800, but. who brought it thero witness was unablo to state. I'he bid was now probably in the hands of the city clerk. Frank B. Johnson being called, said that he was & banker and up to three months ago was part owner in the Republioun. The wit- ness being-asked to whom he sold the paper, caused Attorney Hall to Hash and roar ouv again with a burst of objections for about the fiftioth time. He ket up his answer- evading fight in & manner thatagain scemed plainly 1 evince to all present that he was 1ly convinced of the utter hoy B ness of auy effort which could possibly be made to clear his clients, Vandervoort and Wilcox, from the strikingly clear case of icious action to which' they had com- mitted themselves, Iinally the questiou was modified aud Mr., Johnson was asked whether the trausaction—the sale of the paper—was effected through the giving of bills of sale. Witness answered yes. Then Mr. Mahoney asked to whom the biils of sale were delivered, and witnoss replied, “I'o Mr. Hall.”” “I'his same Attorney continued Mr, Mahouoy. *Yes,” replied Mr. Johnson. “He was then acting as attorney for Wilcox.” *Ho, ho!" exclaimed Mr. Mah ‘That seems to show, about as conclusively as any- body could desire, just who bought the Re- publican! " And thenods and laughs that were indulged in by all present by 10 weans a e ingless expression, as indicating what some two hundred disinterested partics thought of the situation But here was tho clincher: Mahoney—To whom did you seli publican, Mr. Johuson ¢ Johnson The next witness cailed was C. C. Cressey. He bad been & newspaper man in Omaha tor two years and a half, and was employed by Wilcox on the Republican as city editor since his taking hold of that paper. During the time he was on that paper Wilcox exercised genoral and personal supervision over all its affairs, Wilcox came to the ofice every afternoon and was generally there until abous 8 a'clock in the evening. Witness and the managing cditor consulted Wilcox, and Wilcox consulted with them, o as an advisor and counsellor, quired into all important matters, par- ticularly those affecting the poncy of the paver. Vandervoort was the next witness. He was on the stand about a minute. He had known Wilcox for fourteen or fifteon years. E. Howard testified to having been cm- ved on the Republican by Wilcox, who had told him that he (Wilcox) would nave chiarge of tho poiicy of the paper, and that he wanted Howard to submit his copy to him. Harry G. Counsman, deputy city cleri, testified simply that the bids for city print. ing were in his custody. Mr. Resewater was called and identified the article as it appeared in the Republican of January 4, 1800, The state then offered the paper in evi- dence, calling particular attention to the standing card which appears at the head of the edivorial column, signed ““J. C. Wilcox, editor ana proprictor.” The state also offered in uvi«{n‘,m-u @ copy of the Republican of Monday, January 6, 1500, containing an editorial headed *“The Arrest,” and signed “J. C. Witcox.” The exammation concluded with some testimony as to Wilcox's signature, after which the state rested, and the defense said that thoy, too, were done. The hearing of Mr. Rosewater's case was ricuy next at 10 a, m. EGYPTIAN MUMMIES. Wileox on libel, was imme- Hall, right hore? " the Re- How They Were Embalmed About the Soul and Body.

It was believed thut the soul remained with the body whiie 1t retained sullicient soundness to preserve the divine essense; and to give solem- nity to the ceremony of embalming the dend it was confided to the priesthood. The system they adopted was repl with skill and judgment; tho brain v extracted with instruments through the nostrils, an iuecision was made, the cou- tents of the abdomen wore removed, the cavity washed with paln wino and filled with a resinous substance mingled with myrrh, cassia and the odorifcrous spiceg; the body was then sown up und covered with nitre for nlnety days; it was then bandaged.
