STARTED A 3 TO 10 FAVORITE. Imp. Miss BRUMMEL DOWNED A Goop-S1zEp FIELD OF YOUNGSTERS. The racing at the track yesterday was attended by the usual dumps and upsets attendant to racing of late, the star fall of the day being that of Lucky Dog, the giant son of Darebin, who went to the post a 3 to 10 favorite in the fifth race, atsix furlongs, with but three starters, and finished third. Midas, Don William’s Chicago Derby candidate, was second choice in the race with 334 to 1 against him, imported Thorn being the 30-to-1 outsider. When the flag fell Lucky Dog at once went to the front, leading Midas three lengths as they passed the half. Rounding the far turn Isom began crawling up on the favorite with the second choice, and was but a length and a half in the rear as they entered the stretch. An eighth from home Lucky Dog hung out signals of distress, for Carr was seen to be riding him, but to no effect, for he was passed by both Midas and Thorn, the former winning very cleverly by a length, ngton’s imported colt beating the orite half a length for the place. Another very warm thing that was bowled over was the Kentucky stable's Sallie Calvert, who went to the post2to 5 for the opening sprint at five and a half furlongs. “Middleton, who could have lost his company but for his poor wind, was an 8to 1 outsider. Grannan and Abe Levy had their money down on Raphael, whose chance certainly looked good. Pittsburg Phil staid with the Pleasanton stable’s hard-luck horse Mutineer with 20 to 1 against him and he got the money, for the McCarthy horse_won by three lengths from Lodi, with Middleton a close third. The two-year-old race for maidens, half a mile, resulted in a victory for the 7 to 5 favorite, imp. Miss Brummel, who went to the front sKorlIy after the flag fell, and | won ' ridden out, a length and a half in front of Joan. Red Pike was a fair third. Ingomar finally struck company that could not make him sulk, all ridden by stable-boys. He went to the posta 9 to 10 favorite, with Mary S second choice at 11 It was a very pretty run to the hali- where the four starters were heads apart. At this point MeclIntyre, on Miss Buckley, running on the outside, attempted to make too short a turn, bumping Mollie R, putting her out of the race. Through the stretch Ingomar held his field safe, winning by three parts of a length easily from Miss Buckle Mary S was third. To me it was not ciear why Gracie should be a 7 to 5 favorite for the fourth race over the short six-furlong course un- less it was that the bookies saw a chance to work a little bunko game, taking advan- tage of the fact that Griffin rode him. To my mind there were two others in the race, Comrade and Wheel of Fortune, that certainly looked more entitled to be favor- ites. Bookmaker Rose’s horse Boreas was also well backed yesterday, and showed a lot of speed. To him can probably be attributed Comrade’s defeat, for the two raced out in front at a killing pace, Com- rade tossing it up shortly before reaching the stretch. Straightened for home the hot pace told on Boreas, and he was passed | by both Wheel of Fortune and Faro, the former winning with a little up her sleeve by three parts of a length. The winner who went to the post with 4 to 1 against her is a racy-looking chestnut filly by Gano out of Jennie B. When he warmed up for the last race it looked to me as though Mainstay would | rather be playing marbles than run, for he seemed a trifle sore. Royal Flush, who is a very favorable horse about the present time, was an even-money favorite opening, with young Griffo uF. Barney Sc‘xreiber took a chance on McFarlane, the “Bone Doctor’s” charge. who ran a very fair sort of arace, although he did fail to get any of the coin. Royal Flush won cleverly at the finish by a length from the gray horse $ir Richard, who is rapidly getting into winning form. Mainstay was an ordinary third. %n this last race Riley Grannan played both Banjo and Sir Richard. The fickle GO(MFE.' of Fortune was not over in- dulgent with the young plunger, for his attempts to deprive the bookmakers of their wealth was not attended with much | more success than the balance'of the talent.

THE FIGURE WILLIAM J. HURLEY ASKED FOR SECURING ACCOM- MODATING J URORS. A SENSATIONAL ADMISSION. THE MaNn WHo TAMPERED WITH THE McDONALD JURY ON TRIAL. W. J. Hurley, charged with trying to bribe the jurors who tried Dick McDonald for perjury, created quite a sensation in Judge Wallace’s court yesterday. He was on trial on a charge of bribery and the most important testimony against him was bis own. He made almost a clean breast of the affair under questious put by the jurors. In doing so he has directly implicated Willlam Rock, the bailiff of { Judge Murphy’s court, who was under sus- picion at the time of Hurley’s preliminary investigation, but was exonerated by the court. He also made things look very un- comfortable for Harry Piper, Chief Deputy County Clerk, whom he charged with romising him money for acquitting M. . Curtis. The case against Hurley was not long in being unfolded. Witnesses, among them being C. M. Jobnson himself, testified that | Hurley had,a few hours after Johnson had peen summoned as a juror, offered him a share of $10,000 should he vote for | McDonald's acquittal. Before any evi- | dence was taken, however, Hurley got up | from his chair, and, in spite of advice to the contrary from his wife, who sat by him, and the bailiffs, he addressed the | court. The substance of what he said was | that he was being railroaded to jail by his j attorney. He charged that his attorney | was betraying him and asked that the court appoint some one else. Mr. Forbes declined to answer to the charge, as he said he could not speak before the jury. { He said afterward tfiaz he stays in the case only at the urgent request of Mrs. | Hurley. When the proser .on closed its case Forbes stated b efense. He claimed that Hurley had ot approached Johnson after he had been summoned, and in view of that fact he was not guilty of the charge | of bribery for which he was then on trial. | He had one or two witnesses to examine, | and Hurley was not one of them, but the the sel(—wliled defendant demanded to be put upon the stand, and refusal finally be- coming impossible he was allowed to have his way. He did not testify for more than ten minutes, but he managed to practically convict himself in that time. { Under afew questions put by his attor- { ney he gave his version of his meeting with Johnson on the afternoon of the day on which Johnson had been summoned. It was charged that Hurley had then offered to divide $10,000 with Johnson if he would hold out for a verdict of acquittal. Hurley rs his remark about the $10,000 bore no relation to the McDonald case, but referred to the value of the specimens of fruit ex- | hibited at the Board of Trade rooms where Johnson worked and where the conversa- tion was held. That was his explanation | of the remark upon which the case isina | great measure based, and the jurors imme- | diately began to question him closely on | the subject. He was asked several questions as to his intentions when he spoke to Johnson on the evening before he was summoned, and he finally came to a haltat the question: | “How did you know the evening before | that Johnson was to be summoned?’ The prisoner fidgeted about in his chair, looked tirst at the jury and then at the Judge, and finally said: “‘WeH, I'll tell you if you want to know. Y can do as you please with me, but what I tell you is the truth. I went to Livernash and asked him if he wanted some men on the jury. He said | yes. Then I went to McDonald and asked | him and he said f‘es, and asked me what I | wanted. T said I could get the men on for | $3500 apiece. Then I went to Rock and he 1 ngreefto get Johnson on the jury.” “Were you ever in this business before?” asked another juror. “The jury-bribing business?’’ asked the witness, in the most matter-of-fact way. “Yes. ) N never was. I know what you are thinking of, though,” Hurley continued. “You're thinking .of the Curtis jury. I was the one who stayed out for acquittal the first time. That man Harry Piper put me on that jury and told me he would give me $5000 if i would hold out for acquittal. And, by God, he has never given me a cent of continued the witness in an injured | tone. The jurymen smiled, the bailiff rapped on the desk to suppress the giggle that ran through the courtroom, and Hur- ley was withdrawn. The defense will pro- ceed this morning when they have found a witness for whom they are looking. HURLEY MAKES FULL OONFESSION. How He Tried to Fix the McDonald and Hung the Curtis Jury. | Hurley was very bitter last evening against his attorneys, McDonald, Liver- nash and all others with whom he has been connected in this case or the Curtis case and seemed to want to make a clean breast of everything, although some of his statements seemed to be inspired by spite. The most startling part of what may be called his confession was his connection with the Curtis case, in which he was a juror and on which he says that he and Porter, another juror, caused a disagree- ment to be brought in. For this he says he was to be paid $5000 but never received apenny. He was nervous and suffering from a cough and seemed considerably broken down. He said: I feel that I am lost, of course. Iknow that I have to die soon, and'I want to make a confes- sion to the world. On that Friday evening when I saw Livernash I said I might get a cou- | ple of men on the jury,and ke said all right. 'hen I went up to the saloon on McAllister street, where I knew Rock always took McDon- ald from the court, and I found Rock standing up against the bar, and he said, “Go in and see what I got in there.” I found Danny Burns and Richard, and I said, “Hello, people!” “Richard asked me what I wanted for getting him some jurymen, and I told him $500 a man. He said, “I'll give it if I get clear.” Then 1 went out to the bar, and Rock said, “What do you think of it?” I asked him, “How are you for doing business,” and he replied, “I am open for business. Ilive at 20 Byington street.” “AM right,” I said, “I'll come up.” Then I went to the St. Nicholas Hotel to see Livernash and said: ‘‘I guess I'll have a few men on for you now sure.” He said, “All right.” SoIwentaway up to Rock’s house and found him in. I asked him if he would put some jurymen in for me. He said “Yes,” and took out his book. I gave him some names. Among them were Johnson, Kane and Platt. Now I want you to say here that I didn’t know that any of them would stand any crooked work, but being neighbors I put them down. Rock told me to come up the next evening, Saturday, which 1did, and he said that he had summoned Kane and Platt, but Platt had begged off, and he summoned some one else. Then I asked him if he could get the summons back and serve it on Johnson. He got it back on B\mdlx and T saw Johnson, and later met Rock, and told him Johnson would sccept. When Isaw Johnson Isaid: ‘‘Well, old chap, {'ou’\‘e been a long time trying to get on a jury. _vm\; do you say to going on the IcDonnKi jury?” e said, “It's a Godsend. How much is there init?” 1 said, “§500; perhaps more.” He said that he would be at the Board of Trade early on Monday morning to sccommodate Rock. who had to serve the summons early to take McDonald to court. Rock served the sum- mons on Mgnday morning. I bet Johnson nhevir uealed till somebody tapped him on the head. When I came into court I saw four men in the jury-box, but Johnson was not among them. I did’ not see Johnson in the court, and went away. In Callaghan’s saloon I heard some one say: “What's the matter with Johnson? The court has adjourned while his name was in the box.” Then I went back to court, and Dick McDonald came to the door and said to me: “Skip, quick; they have got onto Johnson.” went to' Livernash's office and he said, “What's the matter with your iriend, John- son?’ I replied, *I don't know. He never squealed, because he is & man that never squealed in crooked business.” Livernash told me to g0 and see Johmson and report. Iwent to the Board of Trade and said to Johnson, +‘Hello, old man, how are you nolding them?" He replied: “By — T don’t know what they are going to do'to us. Somebody gave the thing away.” Hurley then told of going up to the new City Hall, and how he was arrested on his way home. Then he spoke of his lawyer, Forbes, and Frank Rooney, who he said were men trying to railroad him to States prison. He said: Forbes and Rooney came to me a week ago last Saturday with a reporter and wanted me tomake a confession. That dazed me and I went out of my head knowing that they had sold me. For three weeks they have been get- ting bits of information out of me and brought & written confession for me to sign when I was at the Receiving Hospital after I went out of mi: head. he?‘ told me that my wife would get $100 if I would sign it. Last night I made a full state- ment to them and a_reporter, but it was not published this morning. So to-day in court I gol!dup and told the court that my lawyer had me. As to his corrupt actionson juries before, and particularly in the Curtiscase, he said : The first time I was ever summoned on a jury it was in Judge Hebberd's_ court, and ihen Harry Piper, the deputy clerk in Wallace's court, asked me if I would not like to go on o jury in Murphy’s court. He said that Dr. Hall’s case was coming up, and there was money in it—probably $1000. I said thatI was willing, and served in that court two or three weeks. I was one of the first twelve called in the Hall case, but was excused. After that the Curtis case came up, and Piper met me one day end asked me if I wanted to make $5000. He said: “Iam going tosummon you in the Curtis case. Thereis 5000 in it for you” The time came and a eputy sheriff was brought by Piper to sum- mon me. Iwas called and accepted, and the result is well known. Porter and I stood out. During the trial Piper and I met regularly every night on Pine street, in a lonesome place between Pierce and Steiner. After the trial was over I didn’t geta bean. Piper said that they didn’t give him any. Mrs. Curtis came to my house and offered me land in_Berkeley, which I went over to see, but I didn’t get it. Mr. Livernash, who was present in court while Hurley was giving his testimony, said last evening: In the first place, Hurley's testimony to the effect that he first approached me for the pur- pose of being employed in & legitimate way in getting up evidence, is disproved outside of anything I might say by the fact that he called_on Judge Datwin’ and laid before him & proposal of jury-bribing months before his arrest, and ihis is proved by the admission of Judge Murphy. He stated that Judge Darwin had informed him that a jury- bribing proposition had been made to him by & person whose name he withheld, but whom Darwin now admits was Hurley. Beyond that Imade no secret of the elements of Hune{;g offers to me. I informed my stenographer who was present at the time of Hurley’s first visit. Not that 1 apprehended any trouble, but on ac- count of his open and unblushing manner, which made me doubt his mental balance. Similar propositions have been made me in this case by others, but they were not crazy men, but people who meant business and dropped the matter when they saw they could do nothing with me. Hurley says that he was engaged prior to the Friday night, while the jury was being empaneled, for several months in ‘doing legitimate business for me. He couldn’t name a single person with whom he acted in our behalf. His statements as to the Friday night before the Monday on which he was arrested as to me are in the main true, as far as the general effect goes. On that night 1 did say to him that he would be paid if he could convince me that he could secure jurymen; but this was done solely for the purpose of exposing him. For I immediately laid the trap, with the-as- sistance of others, that caused his arrest on the following Monday. When he called on me he said “I have & juror already sworn in that case. His name is Mc- Carthy. Had two, but you spoiled things by peremptorily challenging one of them.’ He said that I could take or leave him, s I wished but that if I did not agree to his terms I could expect no favors at the hands of his juror. He wenton to say that of fifty veniremen to bes brought in on the Monday following he would have the naming of ten by virtue of a pull with the Sheriff's office. Then I asked how I was to know that he really had this power. He respcnded that he didn’t expect me to ay for goods until a satisiactory delivery had Been made and said thet Tcouta arrange any code of signals by whicn his men on the jury might prove that they were what he repre- sented them to be, and after such proofs we could arrange the money lpn:upcslm:»n. After agreeing to his proposition I immediately saw the parties who assisted in making the expos- ure, gave them all the facts and names. It was this, as Mr. Livernash states, that led to the arrest of Hurley on the follow- ing Monday. ichard McDonald when seen at the jail last night flatly contradicted the whole of Hurley’s story as to himself, and also ac- cused Hurley of having tried to blackmail him in the jail lately. ~He said: Iregard Mr. Hurley as either a lunatic or a liar. Once, and only once, as I remember, did 1 ever meet him during the trial and that was one evening when [ was walking from the court- room with Mr. Rock, Deputy Sheriff, to catch a car. He met my detective and stopped to talk went with him into a saloon. While talzing o the detective some one whom I had never seen before, another stranger to me, came up and began' talking to me. What he said was: “Where is vour father? Ishe going to help feu? Woy don’the send you some money?” e then went away cursing my father. That was all that was said. The detective_said to me: “That is a very dangerous man. You had better be on the lookout for him.” We continued our conversation and left the saloon with Mr. Rock to catch the car. Not untilI saw Hurley pointed out to me in court by the detective as the man whospoke to me in the saloon did Iknow who he was. Before that and after that I have never had one word directly or indirectly with him,and never have spoken to him about jurrbrlhery. People here in the jail have told Hurley that he ought to come to me and get money to keep quiet and he has sent to e on two different occasions. The first time he asked me to take care of his family and the second time he asked for $800 and said that if I would give it to him he would get out on bonds and skip the country. TERROR-STRICKEN. The Police in the Mission Kept Busy Hunting for Two Armed Foot- pads. Ever since the Stagg murder the police in the Mission have been kept busy hunt- ing after clews for footpads who have been charged with holding up residen ts. On Saturday it was reported thata con- ductor and motorman of the San Mateo electric line reported an attempt to hold them up. They were on their way to the ower-house at Sunnyside to report for duty about half-past 4 ‘o’clock that morn- ing. As they came to the gum-tree ranch a tall man with a revolver in his hand stepped from under the shadows of the trees and came toward them. They each carried a revolver, and they stood réady to fire if the occasion required it. The man walked up to them, looked in their faces for a few seconds and, without saying a word, walked back again under the shadow of the trees. They observed another man leaning against the fence with a revolver in his hand. The conductor and gripman proceeded on their way, but kept slot:\king ehind to see if they were followed till they reached the power-house. On Sunday morning about the hour named Sergeant Reynolds and a posse of men were on the lookout near the gum- tree ranch, but they saw no suspicious characters. Sergeant Burke and a posse were there yesterday. morning with a like result. 1t was atjthis spot “that a masked robber last winter held up a car, but the motor- man turned on tge full current and the robber was jerked off. A lpnssen er on the dummy was jerked off also and the dis- comfi robber relieved him of his money. Notlong afterward a conductor while going to the power house was held up by a masked robber and _relieved of his money. The place has in consequence become a terror to pedestrians. The police have not relaxed their efforts to discover the murderer of Cornelius Stagg, but they are as yet without a definite clew, although many clews have ‘been run to earth. e Through to the Park.

SHERIFF WHELAN WAS FINED FIVE DOLLARS FOR CON- TEMPT OF COURT. HE IS AN INNOCENT VICTIM. ACTOR LEONARD GROVER Has PROMISED To Pay WHaT HE OwEs NEXT THURSDAY. Sheriff Whelan was fined $5 for con- tempt of court by Justice of the Peace Groezinger yesterday in connection with a case wherein he was said to have the manager of Stockwell’s Theater, who make a statement as to what property he possessed which could go toward the pay- ment of certain debts. Grover was originally up on an order of examination before Justice Cook. He proved to his Honor’s satisfaction that it was an impossibilit y for him to liquidate the debt at that time and he wasallowed to go. The proprietor of the William Tell House was, nevertheless, determined to get his money, S0 he had the case removed to Justice Groezinger’s court, and another order of examination was issued. Justice Cook told him that as no one had ap%eared to examine him he would better £0 home, which the actor gladly did. Next day Justice Groezinger adjudged Grover guilty of contempt and fined him $50 or | oneday’s imprisonment, The order was placed in the hands of the Sheriff tg serve, and one of his deputies called upon Grover at 8:30 p. M., just when he was about to go on the stage at Stockwell's Theater. He assured the deputy that the case had been dismissed in Justice Cook’s court, so, un- der the circumstances, the warrant was not served. When Justice Groezinger heard that Grover had not been arrested he was very angry and at once cited the Sheriff to show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty of ‘contempt. The case came ap yesterday, and J. J. Kennedy, in the ab- sence of Reddy, Campbell & Metson, the Sheriff’s regular attorneys, raised the point that Grover had the alternative of serving aday in jail or paying $30 into the treas- ury. The Sheriff could not receive the money and Grover could not pay it into the treasury at 8:30 o’clock at night. - Sec- ond, that the law provides that, except in felony cases, no warrant shall be served after 6 . a. unless specially so indorsed, and, third, that the Sheriff’s authority was merely an order of court and not a commit- ment. Justice Groezinger overruled all the ob- jections and fined the Sheriff $5. A stay of two days was granted, and in that time Sheriff Whelan will carry the case to the Superior Court. aving thus disposed of the Sheriff the Justice turned his attention to Grover and made him tell what he possessed in the way of valuables. ‘‘Have you any money ?”’ was asked. ‘“Yes,” admitted the actor, rather cheer- fully; “I have $4 in Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank.” “Anything else?” “Well, I own five shares of stock in the San Francisco Amusement Company, but”—with almost a sigh—*“1 don’t think they are of any value. In fact, I know they are not.” “Ts that all?”” queried the court in more softened tones. Mr. Grover then admitted that he also owned a city lot. “But,” he added, as the court brightened up a bit, “it is plastered over with mortgages to its full value,” and once again there was a gloomy shadow passed Eetween the court and the witness. “‘But I will pay this $40,” said Grover, as the attorneys and court were scratching their heads to think what to ask him next. “When?” was the prompt question. “Next Thursday, sure,” replied Grover.” Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly use({ The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest | the value to gealth of the pure liquid | laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. .
