4 GREGORY 18 CONVICT Guilt Pronounced Upon the Third Round Valley Assassin. MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE. No Recommendation of Mercy in the Verdict of the Jury. GEORGE E. WHITE SCORED IN COURT. Deputy Attorney-General Post De- clares the “King” Planned Littlefizld’s Death. WEAVERVILLE, Civn, Sept. 2.—Joe Gregory, the cowardly murderer, who shot from ambush and killed the disarmed and helpless vaquero, Albert D. Littlefield, better known as ‘‘Jack” Littlefield, near Long Ridge, on September 27, 1895, and Joe Gregory, the Convicted Round Valley Assassin, who subsequently desecrated the grave of his victim in the most fiendish manner, was convicted of murder in the second de- gree in the Superior Court of Trinity | County this evening, at 7:30 o’clock. Long before court opened this morning an eager and excited throng had taken possession of every available inch of room in the courtroom, overflowed 1into the cor- ridors and extended tfrom the stairway into the street, for the closing scenes in the trial of the third Round Valley assas- sin to be convicted of murder this year was a matter of some interest to the peo- ple of Trinity County, who trembled for fear lest through some miscarriage of the law the accused should be released and a reign of terror follow. A vague rumor had been heard upoA the street that a certain juror had been tam- pered with, and it was witha profound sigh of relief that the crowd listened to the verdict handed to the Judge by George P. Chapman, foreman of the jury, that the jury found the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree and without recommending mercy. It was just after the jury had returned to the courthouse from dinner, and the swarm of women who had sweltered in the close room all day were conspicuous for their absence. The murderer, who, dur- Ing the arguments 0f both the prosecution and the defense, had evinced an intense interest, together with extreme nervous- ness, accompanied by intermittent moods of the ‘gravest abstraction and musing, had apparently composed hnimself, and when the verdict was announced not a tremor passed over his dark countenance, and it was apparent that he had fortified himself for the reception of news of a more serious fate. At 5:30 o’clock the case was given into the hands of the jurors and exactly two hours later the verdict was returned. It gives general satisfaction, for there are four other accomplices to the murder of Littlefield awaiting trial at Weaverville and it is believed that his fate will be theirs, The opening speech for the prosecution was made by James W. Bartlett, the pros- ecating attorney for Trinity County. He tersely and briefly narrated the theory of the prosecution and cescribed the circum- stances attending Littleficld’s death. Atter him followed Robert R. Fowler, as- sistant counsel for the defense. He made an eloguent plea to the jurors. Then Oregon Sanders arose and for two hours pleaded for the life and liberty of the de- fendant. It was evident from the begin- ning that the plan of the adefense was to assail and impeach the character of and testimony given by the witnesses for the prosecution, as he later admitted that he had never found it so hard to talk upon a case in his life as upon this. At the commencement of his speech Sanders cautioned the jurors against tribal jealousy, which he professed that he believed to exist between the counties of Mendocino and Trinity, In succession he took up witnesses Hoglan, Wilburn, Hanover and Doolittle, branding them as cettle thieves, squawmen, rascals in gen- eral. He dwelt upon the fact thatno blood or ‘water hmr been found upon the clothing of the defendant. Before Deputy Attorney-General C. N. Post entered upon the body of his argu- ment, he spoke of the pleasant relations that had existed between himself and the opgoning counsel, and paid a well-deserved wribute to fearless Tom Bergin, the tall, sinewy young Sheriff of Trinity Counuy, who worked relentlessly and regardless of his own safety to bring the murderers out af‘ dtheir stronghold to justice. Then he said: “You remember what Itold youin my opening statement, and I believe that I have kept my word. I said 1 would prove a conspiracy, and now I say that Geory E. White was the head and front of this conspiracy. It was only necessary for him to intimate that it would be an agree- able thing to him if such a man be re- moved and it would be done.” He stated that the conspiracy which had been laid atthe door of George E. White stood undenied; that *‘there had been no questions asked Mr. White as to whether be had discussed the killing of Littlefield, and that be had not denied.” At this point George White showed con- siderable agitation and arose and-asked a question in a whisper of one of the lawyers for the defense. Post bitterly arraigned the witnesses for the defense, who had endeavored to im- peach Hanover and McDonald on account f their attempted boxinz match. Sanders had said that he wished the testimony given by some of the witnesses for the prosecution wiped out, and Post said that had they told all they knew be- fore coming to Weaverville “they would have been ‘wiped out’ from off the face of the earth, they having a method of re- moying and ‘wiping out’ men over there, and O'Neil knew it when he had lied about the time Gregory had returned to the Vinton cabin.” It will be remembered that Vinton, one of the conspirators, had been shot a short time before the murder of Littlefield, and Post stated that he believed that Vinton had accidentally shot himself as he was dismounting from his horse, as it was his custom to carry his rifle before him across his saddle; that Vinton, after wounding himself, had conceived the shrewd scheme of laying the shooting upon Littlefield, and that for this reason he had removed and destroyea his overshirt, which was prob- ably powder-burned, and that while lying at the house of Tom Haydon he had hatched and matured the conspiracy and put it into action, which resuited in Littletield’s death. It appeared, he said, that Vinton had ‘hanging on the brain’’ for a long time and did not fail to tell everybody he met about it. During the day Gregory sat between his mother and sister. It was apparent that each of the trio was expecting the worst. Many uef?uv.ies have been sworn in by the Sheriff in the past few days, as it is feared an attempt at jailbreaking will be are to be made. Gregory will be sentenced on Baturday, when Oregon Sanders will ask for a new trial. HALING AT PALD ALTO Freshmen at the University the Victims of Rough Treatment. Given Baths at Untoward Hours of the Night and Pelted With Ancient Eggs. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Sept. 2.—The freshmen have been given a hat recention at the university. There has been a great deal of rough treatment of the new classmen, which has cansed many | threats of dire revenge on their part. In the young men’s dormitery the freshmen have been taken from tuaeir rooms ana given baths at untoward hours of the night. | Acompany of twenty sophomores cap- | tured eight freshmen at Palo Alto last | night and drummed up a crowd of about 200 citizens with an impromptua band. The freshmen were compelled to stand upon the campaign platform erected there |and talk for a half hour each, wuile they and other rubbish: One young man was | made to sing the popular song, “‘Good Night, Ladtes,” while his efforts were ap- planded with a shower of stale eges. The freshman was struck in theeye with an egg and badly hurt. It was thought for some time that the eye would be 1o0st, but after the shell was taken out the discinle of Parneli was made to continue his song with no more serious injury than avery black optie.

FEAST OF BEAUTY AT SACRAMENTO, The State Fair Pavilion and Its Many Fine Exhibits, NOVEL IDEAS EVOLVED. Artist Weisel’s Cartoons Come Near Precipitating a Fight. INCUBATORS AND ICEBERGS, Chickens Hatched in Sight of Specta- tors Near a Scene of Arctic Grandeur. SACRAMENTO, Cavn., Bept. 2.— The second day of the State Fair brought a at the pavilion. The exhibits are worth coming miles to see, and as for the races, | & swifter or more nimble string of horses from all sections of the country has not been seen on any California track this sea- son. To-night the pavilion reverberated with music. It was a festival of pure melody, and it and the exhibits were en- | joyed by an increasing attendance free from the jam of a great crowd. But there are plenty of seats for the | crowd when it does begin to flow through | the gates. The trains are bringing more visitors almost every hour. Public con- | veniences for handling the throngs are ex- | cellent. Trolley-cars, and plenty of them, | and numerous other conveyances whisk | the visitor out to racetrack or pavilion in a few minutes. When the bell sounded av 10:30 o’clock to-night for Lhe close of the pavilion a de- | lighted procession of spectators filed siow- ly out of the building. A youthful Sacramento cartoonist has caused a sensation at the pavilion section of the big State Fair, The sensation ex- tended to the street, where the artist's father was getting thrashed or thrashing the other fellow. In one corner of the pa- vilion and separate from the art gallery | was a display of pen-and-ink sketches by ! Chris Weisel, a 1ad said to be only 16 years The work is remarkably well done for a lad of his years. It would do credit to artists of more age and experience. The subjects of many of his sketches are well-known Sacramento men. The like- nesses are striking in almost all instances, but with the enthusiasm of youth he has | given the subject a disagreeable and un- | just turn without, perhaps, any intention of offending. For instance, a caricature of Judge W. A. Henry occupies & prominent place. He | is portrayed as armed with a cupid’s bow, | and is as scantily clad as the little god of | love ever is when he whispers in the ears | of maidens. A member of the Board of Trustees cf the city is pictured as receiv- | ing a flow of gold in capacious hands, and this is labeled “Honesty.” A prominent | panker 1s illustrated as squeezing the life | out of a farmer, mortgager and mort- | gagee. C.P. Huutington, H. M. La Rue and Grove L. Johnson are pictured in a schoolroom in the year 1840, and a pupil is explaining to the teacher how they suc- SACRAMENTO FLECTR C cAS & RALWAY cos BELISK O& LichT EXMIB T FOQOT CELATINE SCENES AT THE STATE FAIR AT KNOX'S SPARKLING CALVES ceeded in life. Mayor Sutro of San Fran- cisco does not escape the facile pencil and graphic idea of this youthfui.cartoonist, and this picture was perhaps the best in the lot. g[he likeness almost speaks. The Mayor is seen lying fui: length in a bath- tub, with a scrubbing brush in one hand. A local editor was also undesirably cari- catured. There was such a *‘kick” from the per- sons caricatured that the board of di- rectors of the agricultural society to-day ordered the collection removed. To-night there was no crowd around the pictures, and there was a blank space on the wall. Shortly before noon to-day Frank M. son, a son of one of_the cartoon sub- ects, met Chris Weisel Br. at Eightn and streets, The young man had blood in his eye. He charged Weisel pere with having inspired the cartoon on his father. Theelder Weisel replied that he Wwas not responsible for the work of Weisel fils, but young Woodson repeated and emphasized the charge. Owing to the in!flrzentiou of by-standersno blood was spilled. One of the living attractions at the fair is Vahan Aslanian, a young Armenian, who has been in this country only three weeks. Isaac Banyakar, an Armenian, known to fame in n Francisco for Lav- ing pamed his first born, a girl, California, and his three weeks' old son McKinl:y Banyakar, has an exhibit, and he points with native pride to this new immigrant. Aslanian is a husky young fellow about 21 years of age. He is attired in a Bedouin suit with a green feather in hiscap. He bristles with a long and wicked-looking knife such as the Armenians use in mak- ing their feeble fights against the Turks. He is also heavily laden with cartriage belts fuil of cartridges about three inches long. Aslanian is always the center of a crowd and he seems to enjoy it. In broken Eng- lish he tells wonderful stories of the fights he has had with the Tuiks in his native town of Marsodan. He atiended an American missionary school there and picked up a little Eng- lish. He corroborates the published Stories about Armenian girls and brides being carried off into the mountains by the cruel Turks. Upon one occasion some of his own female friends were among the number. Banyakar also has on exhibition Califor- ma and McKinley Banyakar. . The electricity with which the pavilion is so prilhantly” illuminated is generated by the Sacramento Eiectric, Gas and Rail- way Company at Folsom, twenty-two miles away. Peary’s expedition 1o the North Pole is unique exhibit by Weinstock, Lubin & Company. It is a realistic Artic scene, with floating xoeber%l and floes of ice thickly peoplea with little fur-clad people representing Esquimaux and members of the expedition, At one extreme of the victure a fight between a polar bear and an Esquiman is goiné.- on, while on a pin- nacle at the other end of the scene is a emall house with illuminated red win- dows, which represents Peary's head- gnarters. On the pinnacle of an iceberg float the stars and stripes, and at one period, while there was an admiring crowd before the scene, Cassasa's band bhappened to play ‘“The Star-spangled Banner.” The crowd applauded _appropriately, and a voice was gmle‘a”up With these words: ‘‘Nansen ain’t in it. The figures are seen to move on the ice, and behind tuem a miniature ship rocks on the waves of the cold ocean. At regu- lar intervals there is the red and yellow flash of the aurora borealis over it ail, Among the exhibits are bicycles almost without number. One firm has a negro dummy riding an old-fashioned wheel with the rapidity of a coaster who is de- scending an angle of forty-five degrees. . Mr. Hayseed with his load of pumpkins is not mach in evidence at the fair ye. He will arrive with the livestock next week. But people who are looking for puntpkins need not go out to the race- track to be gratified. They may step into the art gallery and see them on canvas. There is one canvas pumpkin t!l:ere‘wfiriich looks natural and ripe enough to fall into pies at the glance of the beholder. There are also e!nn as grapes and watermelonsin the art wallery, beautifuily garnished with canvas roses and vines. One of the most conspicuous exhibits in the pavilion is made by the Buffalo Brew- ing Company of Sacramento. It has an octagonal pagods, the sides and roof of which are composed of bottled beer. The liquid is highly illuminated by a'powerful electric arc light inside. A umTle hardware exhibit is made by Schaw, Ingram, Batcher & Co., and it is one of the largest in the pavilion. Water is supposed to be flowing on a huge iron wheel and through a race 1nto a pond on which floats a boat. A bridge composed of spirit levels, squares and other tools spans the race. The surface of tie make- believe water is oilcloth. A jelly bootn sprang up to-day near the enirance to the department of horticul- ture and viticulture. The electric lights shining through it make the jellies | resemble so many cups of colored crystal. John Brenner has an elaborate exhibit of furniture, showing all the departments of a house furnished in “swell” fashion. Lady visitors pause before the glittering mirrors of this miniature drawing-room to see if their hats are on straight. The dniryine exhibit is not yet ready for inspection. When it is visitors at the fair will see the latestimproved dairy methods in practical operation turning out cheese, cream and butter, with the line drawn at oleomargarine. An exhibit which runs along the walls of one side of the gallery for nearly 100 feet is the ladies’ department. Here every- thing in the needlework line may be seen from highly ornamental designs in silk to embroideries on unmentionable articles of lingerfe. v way of contrast and illustrating the | variety of exnibits at the fair are incu- bators hatching chickens and ouatdoing nature. A very artistic exhibit is spread on a prominent corner in a gallery of interest- ;ng duglny-. ‘When Cassasa’s band stops or a reathine spell, high grade pianos in the gallery fill in the interim will‘:’ their Own music and claim the attention of the crowd, THE CALL booth occupies a prominent gorner on a main aisle of the lower floor. The stereotype plates and th ketches by CALL artists are beheld by a continuous flow of spectators. Thedemand for *Cary, speaks for all” buttons has already much exceeded the supply. oF SACRAMENTO. VALLEJO OFFICER SHOT TO DEATH Watchman Toal Killed in a Sanguinary Combat at Night. DUEL AT CLOSE RANGE. Daniel Wynne, His Assailant, Is Dying From a Bullet Wound. WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. Druoken Fury Incites the Attack Upon the Unoffending Patrol man. VALLEJO, CAv., S8ept. 2.—Nightwatch- man Frank Toal was shot and killed by Dan T. Wynne, in front of J. W. O'Brien’s saloon on Georgia street, near the wharf, at 1 o'clock this morning. The night- watchman, after receiving his death wound, shot Wynne, inflicting a wound almost identical to that recefved by him- self, and which will, without doubt, prove fatal. Beveral young men were in O'Brien’s saloon last night when Wynne entered the place. He had been drinking and com- menced to argue with the others on one subject and another, the principal topic being the claim that one of them, named Magee, was opposed to his securing a fran- chise from the Board of City Trustees to run a rowboat ferry to the navyyard. This Magee denied. ‘Wynne then turned his attention to the bali-dozen other men in the saloon and proposed to ‘‘clean them out.” One re- marked that he was ready for Wynne, who immediately turned about, and as he passed out of the front doors, remarked he ‘‘would see about that.” Wynne was gone from ten to fifteen minutes, his residence being a couple of biocks distant. While he was away the proprietor of the saloon went and stood in the front door, Magee passing out and going home. While he was standing in the doorway Officer Toal came down Georgla street from the City Jail, where he had just picked up a young fellow for disturb- ing the peace. e paused for a moment to chat, and on being told that Wynne was drinking he replied: “That is toobad. Dan is a good fellow when he is sober, but when in liquor he is not himsslf, Iam afraid there will be trouble.” The officer then passed on down . to- ward Georgia-street” wharf, us it was his | custom at thathour of the morning to see that everything was all right at the lower end of the street and about the wharf. He was hardly oui of sight before O’Brien saw Wynne coming from the direction of the northwest corner of Santa Clara and Georgla streets, Wynne's resi- dence being on Santa Clara street and Q'Brien’s saloon in the Greéves building, second door from Santa Clara street. In Wynne’s right hand, which was hanging by his side, O'Brien taw a revolver flash- ing in the rays from the street gaslight. O’Brien, knowing the reputation of Wynne for shooting while in liquor, backed into the saloon aud said to the boys who were standing at the var: “Look out now for trouble. Wynne is coming back with his gun.” O’Brien passed to the rear of the saloon for a moment, and while there Wynne entered. The first erson he encountered was a man named urley, whom he hit a terrific blow with the muzzle of the pistol over the fore. head, cutting & severe gash, which after- wards required a number of stitches to bring it together. Hurley ran to the room back of the saloon proper and called for water to bathe his head. O’Brien, having provided himself with means for sell-defense, went up to Wynne, who was flourishing his.weapon and de- claring that he was a second Jesse James, and that he intended to kill them all. O'Brien is nearly a head shorter than Wynne, who is over six feet tall, but he backed Wynne up against the casing of the swinging doors and told him not to make any disturbance in the place; if he wanted to shoot any one to shoot him first. Wynne attempted to push him away, saying he wanted to have no trouble with him, bu¢ that he was going to shoot *“‘Billy,"” the bartender. Just then Officer Toal pushed the swing- ing doors open far enough i0look in. See- ing the pistol in Wynne's band, he drew back, the doors closing again, Wynne saw the face of the officer, and believing Toal had come to arrest him, leaped back a pace and then sprang forward, pushing the doors outward toward the sidewalk. He fired one shot, which evidently missed its mark. O’Brien jumped through the doors to the sidewalk to stop, if possible, the shoot~ ing, as he knew the two men were friends and neither of them afraid of bullets. Ashe reached the sidewalk he saw the two men, equal in height, close together, each with ol in his hand, the muzzle pressed against the other’s breast. He heard two shots fired almost simultaneously and heard Officer Toal exclaim : “Dan, what have youdone? You have killed me, and I guess I bave finished youl’ ‘Wynne fell back to the sidewalk and Toale threw his arms around #'Brien a moment and said : “'Send for a doctor and a priest. I will not last more than an hour.” He stapggered about twenty-five feet down the sidewalk and fell upon the steps in front of Passalacqua’s fruitstore with- out a sound. Wynne was lying on the walk, groaning loudly and pleading to be taken home. O'Brien dashed into the saloon and told tne men inside to come out and help carry the wounded man in- side. They Hrst went to the officer,” care- fully lifred him from the steps, carried him into the saloon and laid him on a billiard-table. They opened his shirt and saw streams of blood running from a gap- ing hole in his back, from which the bul- let bad emerged. ‘Wynne was then brought in and laid on the tloor a short distance from where the officer was lying, with his life fast ebbing away. In a short time Dr. Carpenter arrived and pronounced Toal’s wound fatal, the ball having entered about nine inches be- low the left nipple, passed through the body, and come out about five inches be- low the right scapula. The condition of ‘Wynne seemed to be about the same. hortly after the arrival of the surgeon a young glfiul came from St. Vincent's Chureh. e was none to early, for just as he had concluded the sprinkling of holy water over the officer Toal slowly opened his eyes, and with a smile on his lips gasped nllghny and breathed his last. In the meantime Wynne was writhing upon the floor and upbraiding Toal for shooting him. He uttered no regrets at the death of the man but a few feet from him. Wynne was taken to his home and Officer Toal’s body to Connelly’s under- taking parlors, where to-day it was viewed by many friends. Toal was a native of the County Fer | mavaugh, north of Ireland, where his parents, brothers and sisters reside. He came to San Francisco about eight years ago and for some years was employed on u{: Market-street cable road asa brake- man. His health failing, he came to Val. lejo, and though a_comparative stranger wga at once engaged by the City Trustees as night watchman. He proved to be brave and efficient. Surzeons Vallejo and Anderson suc- ceeded about 10 o’clock this morning in removing the bullet from Wynne's back, but it is not believed that he can recover. A priest went to the home.of Wynne this afternoon and there offered prayersin behalf of the wounded man. ynne has made his will. He is said to be worth about $15,000. : The funeral of Officer Toal will take plece on ¥riday under the auspices of the Red Men, of which order he was a mem- ber. PLEADS GUILTY OF MURDER. |} Hugh MoMillan Surprises Court Speo- tators at Sonora. - STOCKTON, CarL., Sept.2.—There was an astonished crowd in the Superior Court at Sonora to-day when Hugh McMillan, charged with the murder of O.Swan, late of Sonora, but formerly of Stockton, con- | fessed to his gult. A The killing took place last June in the mountains back of Sonora. McMillan, | Swan and another man started out irom Sonora on a prospecting trip. Later Swan’s lifeless body was found by a party of hunters, and McMillan was arrested on suspicion of being one of the murderers. There was absolutely no direct evidence against him. To-day, to the amazement of the court and the assembled spectators, his attorney asked permission, at McMil- " lan’s request, to have ihe plea of not guiity | changed to one of guilty. ¥ } The court asked the prisoner if he fully | realized the situation. McMillan replied | that he did. s i “Do you know,’’ asked the court, ‘‘that | pleading guilty to a charge of murder in | the first degree, you may hang or be sent | to the penitentiary for Iife; or, 1f in the second degree, to imprisonment for not less than ten years or possibly to life im- prisonment 2"’ | “Yes sir; I killed him, of course,” Mc- Millan replied. i 2 The prisoner is a powerful, intelligent miner, but he trembled visibly as he stood | before the court and pleaded guilty to the | charge of murder. He showed that he could no longer stand the strain of keep- ing his terrible secret. The court adjourned after this confes- sion, and to-morrow the testimony of Mc- Millan as {0 how he killed Swan will be | p submitted. It is believed that Swan was possessed of a considerable sum of money n“id that robbery was the motive for the crime. SRl BOWERS NAILS A CANARD.
