JURORS DISLIKE THE JOB Expected Something of the Kind Would Happen to Baldwin. THE HOLE IN THE WALL. The Defendant Wears a Jaunty Ap- pearance, but Loocks Extremely Unhappy. Emma A. Ashley, a distraught, dazed and very unhappy looking young woman, satin Judge Bahrs’ court yesterday morn- maining witness toc be produced by the prosecution, and as he was absent the case went over until to-morrow morning. ARRESTED ON BOARD. Two Santa Monicans Arrested on the -Steamer Santa Rosa in This Port for Burglary. Ernest Barada and Bessie Brunson, who arrived on the Santa Rosa from Santa Monica yesterday, were promptly arrested on a wired dispatch from Sheriff Dexter of the southern town, the charge being burglary. SANTA MONICA, Cawn., Sept. 16.—On Sunday last the residence of Charles Fanetti was robbed here of $60 and two gold watches and chains and two revolvers, while his_wife was absent for a few moment. Ernest Barada, a barkeeper at the Arcadia Hotel, who roomed there, but left on the Santa Rosa on Monday morn- ing early with Bessie Brunson, a~ woman of the town, was suspected, but the officers failed to search him at the time, and he was allowed to leave without search. The police officials have been at work on the case and claim to have conclusive evidence of Barada’s guilt, and in consequence telegraphed to the San Francisco officials to arrest them on their arrival. Barada has a number of friends bere who refuse to believe him guilty. ————— GLAD TO GET HOME. Young Charles Krausgrill ¥Fasts Three Days and at Last Gains His Point.

THE CLOSING ARGUMENT It Required but Five Minutes for the Jury to Render a Decision. SCENES IN THE COURTROOM The Prisoner’s Wife Seriously Alarms Mrs. Dunten by Trying to Follow Her. ‘Winthrop is guilty. E. L. Cutten, fore- man of the jury which tried him, so de- cided yesterday. ‘‘So say we all,” echoed dealings with him, and others had not heard i‘h nnnhfil:fi discussed until atter the death of Mrs. Matthews. The de- fense,” said the attorney, “‘utterly failed to establish a good reputation for the ac- cused and, even if it had, it would have been immaterisl, as many men who have up to a certain time borne an unblemished repu- tation bave been found to be criminals. Mr. Black closed by asking the jury not to be swerved from di"“y Uy sympathy for the prisoner’s wife and family. They were under oath, he said, to find only on the evidence without reference to its effect on any one. He asked for a verdict of guilty. Judge Wallace then charged the jury. His charge was fair and impartial and comparatively brief. He instructed the i“lgmen upon the legal points in the case and was particularly careful to declare that they alone were judges of the facts, with which they might deal as they pleased. He said they were to determine whether ‘Winthroo took the money from the per- son of Campbell against his will and that they must presume him innocent unless the evidence should overcome that pre- sumption. He also went into the evi- dence that had been presented to show a good character for the defendant and said that if that had been proven it shoula be taken in his favor, but that it was not el‘wnsh to weigh against positive evidence of guilt. At 11:35 o'clock the jury retired, and the spectators had hardly settled down in their seats pefore the bell rang announc- ing‘ their return. he short time occupied in deliberation augured ill for Winthrop. He straight- ened up in his chair, clenched his teeth tightly, and his countenance assumed that hard, set look which one might expect a determined man to wear as he faced death. Mrs. Winthrop, who had 1n the meantime resumed her place at his side, again felt that she conlg not stand the ordeal, and retired to the corridor. Mrs. Brooks, the defendant’s mother-in-law, sobbed audi- bly, while the two little boys crouched close to their father’s side. MISS LILLIAN ASHLEY, Who Is Suing “Lucky” Baldwin. MISS EMMA ASHLEY, the Defendant, Who Took a Shot at the Millionaire. ing on trial for having attempted to kill Lucky Baldwin in Judge Slack’s court- room in the closing days of the trial of her sister’s case against Baldwin. Lillian Ashley, the plaiatiff in the other case, sat with her. Both sisters have spruced up considerably since their ap- pearance in the Police Court. The old white straw hat has been discarded, and in its place sits a rather tasty bit of mil- linery, characterized by a bright flower and sprightly feather. Both were dressed in the customary black, and Emma wore a bunch of yellow marguerites at her breast. Emma sat through the day’s proceed- inga with the dazed uninterested expres- sion that has characterized her since the shooting. Only once the sisters spoke to each other, and that was while the jurors were examining the bullet which went so close to its mark, and was afterward dug | out of the plaster in the wall back of the | court reporter’s table. Then they whis- pered a few words and Emma smiled, Some difficulty bad been experienced in securing a jury, only nine men ha ng been secured as a result of Tuesday’'s cffort. The talesmen instead of beiug found to be prejudiced against the de- fendant were objectionable to the prose- cution because of a leaning the other way. Some of them said they could not but feel a sympathy for a woman in such a case, and othersalways “‘expected some- thing of the kind would happen to Baid- win. The jurors finally impaneled were: A. 8. Perley, N. Davidson, J. G. Burke, L. Krugen, D. Curry, D. W. Pringle, L. G. Flanagan, W. L. Groat, C. Meier, J. M. ‘Willard, R. Rosenberg, M. Gately. Assistant District Attorney = Peixofto conducted the case for the people and General Robert A. Friedrichs defended the accused. The jury by order'of the court went to Judge Slack’s courtroom, the scene of the shooting, and inspected the hole in the wall where the bullet lodged, and which has been carefully pasted over with a piece of paper since the incident, Judge Siack afterward took the witness- stand and told the story as he saw it, and substantially ashe told 1t in the Police Court. He said he thought thedesendant was not of sound mind at the time of the shooting. A. T. Barnett, an attorney, was in Judge Slack’s court room at the time of the shooting. He stood near the clerk’s desk, and saw Miss Emma Ashiey sitting near her sister at the counsel table. He saw her rise and take a seat on the bench out- side the railing, and afterward move again to a chair near the railing and withina few feet of Baldwin. She sat there some few minutes and then rose to her feet, drew a revolver, and fired it toward Bald- win. She had great difficulty in firing the revolver, and had to apply both her hands to it. H. A. Unruh, Baldwin’s business mana- ger, told the story overagain of how he was attracted to the young ady by the firin; of the pistol and how he sprang up -ng wrested the gun from her hands. Having taken the revolver he allowed her to go and did not notice her again until she was in hysterics in the other end of the room. James R. McElroy, clerk Slack’s court, corroborated Judge Stack. Charles A. Lee, a reporter of the Report, interviewed the defendant in jail immedi- ately after ‘her being booked there and found her apparently quite calm. She said to him that it was God’s will that she had not succeeded in her attempt. _Other witnesses gave corroborative tes- timony identical with that given in the Police Court. Mr. Highton is the only re- in_ Judge Teturn to her the lad refused to eat any of the food provided for him by Messrs. Welch and Carman. When he had kept his self-imposed fast for three days his condition became alarming. He was re. turned to bis mother, and has now been with her some days. It is thought his brief sojourn in, Mr. Carman’s establish- ment will make him “toe the mark’ for the future. —_— AN [MPORTANT CPINION, Judge Sanderson Says the Fee Bill of 1866 Is Repealed by That of 1895. Five Per Cent of a Judgment May No Lenger Be Charged in a Cost Bill. Judge Sanderson yesterday handed down an opinion of great importance. He says that the fee bill of 1866 has been re- pealed by the passage of the fee pill of 1895. The matter came up in the suit of James K. Lynch vs. F. W. Kreling, et al. The plaintiff included in his cost bill 5 per cent of a $2000 judgment rendered on a note, claiming that he was authorized to do so under the fee bill of 1866, which was a special legislative act, applicable only to the City of San Francisco. The defendant moved to strike out that portion of the cost bill which included the percentage, and Judge Sanderson granted the motion, basing his action on the re- cent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Miller vs. Curry, which is in effect that the fee bill of 1895 is applicable to this City. His Honor holds that the fee bill of 1895 repeals the fee bill of 1866, including the allowance of percentage on judgments to be charged as costs. In his opinion he says: This percentage charge is in no sense either a disbursement made or an expense incurred by the plaintiff. but plainly and simply a pen- alty placed on any losing defendant who may have the temerity to defend or litigate an ac- ton brought against him. I huve always thought it a most unjust and unreasonable burden to impose as “costs” (to which it bears no resemblaice) on a party to an action, and it is theretore with no small degree of satis{no- tion that I find myself able to hold that the obnox.ous piece of legislation has been elimi- nated from the statutes. —————— Isham Acquitted. William Isham was yesterday acquitted of assault with intent to commit murder by a jury in Judge Belcher's court. Isham .is a street-car employe, who some time ago shot his brother-in-law, E. C. Plum, another street-rail- way man, in tie leg. The'quarrel arose over g family row. That both are sorry it ever hap- pened was shown by the demonstration they made when the verdict was rendered. The brothers-in-law each fell into the other’s arms and shed tears. Afterward thg Ay rd they departed hand ————— O’Farrell Is Insolvent. *J. J.

Sanborn, Vail & Co., 741 Matkers GENERAL FRIEDRICHS, the Defendant’s Attorney. the eleven other talesmen, and so ended the most famous local criminal case of the year. It took the jury but five min- utes to decide the fate of the man of whom Banker James Campbell of Hono- lulu tells one of the strangest stories ever related in a court of law. From the first the conviction of the de- fendant was almost a foregone conclusion. In addition to the efforts of the prosecu- tion Winthrop by his own actions contrib- uted to the verdict. The arin.osity which he showed against Captain Lees and bis officers tended to redouble their efforts to send him across the bay. Attorney Frank Bell and his coadjutor did the best they could for him, but they devoted their ef- forts almost entirely to an alibi, which proved to have no foundation, and abso- lutely failed to disprove any of the allega- tions of the people. Yesterday’s proceedings began with Assistant District Attorney Black’s reply to the arguments of Winthrop’s counsel. There wasa large crowd in attendance, all seemingly anxious to be in at the death. Winthrop's wife and mother-in- law occupied seats in the courtroom until Mr. Biack began his remarks, ‘when Mrs. Winthrop hurriedly quitied the apart- ment. She has borne up bravely and has sought throughout to lend the comfort and sugport of her presence to her hus- band; but when the Assistant District At- torney rose to say all the ill things that thexrosecmion had to say o: her hus- band she could stand it no longer, and so withdrew. Mr. Black’s remarks held evervbody’s close attention. He combatted and ex- plained away almost every point made by Bell against the siatements of Camp- bell. He alleged that the defense had itself added corroborative evidence to the stories of Campbell’s witnesses, They had seen Winthrop near the cottage at 4109 California street at times when Camp- bell did not know he was there. . With regard to the alibi Winthrop sought to establish, Mr, Black said that he had evidently made himself conspicu- ous at the meetings in question, in order to establish that alibi in case he should be arrested. As to Urquhart, the speaker contended thut Bell would *‘put his foot in it”’ should he undertake to prove that he had served time in Canada. Bell, however, contends that he is right, and that he will yet have Urquuart placea behind the bars for | perjury for denying it. “Urquhart’s ac- tions,”” said Mr. Black, “were all those of an innocent man. When he learned of Campbell’s disappearance, he reported to the police what he knew of it. ‘Winthrop, on the contrary, ran away. If Urquhart 1s guilty, as Winthrop claims, why did not Winthrop come to the police as did the man he accused and tell what he knew? Tnstead he used every endeavor to de- ceive the police, opened up a decoy cor- respondence with his wife, under an as- sumed name, and when confronted by Detective Cody in Oakland was disguised and had the stolen money concealed about him. When cornered . he remarked, ‘Well, Cody, the jig is up.’ The only conclusion to draw from such evidence is one of gmlt. ‘A number of witnesses were called to testify as to ‘Winthrop's reputation. Some Of them knew him only from personal ‘“‘Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?” asked Judge Wallace. ‘“We Lave,” replied Foreman Cutten. ““Whazt is your verdict?” ““We find the defendant, Oliver W. Win- throp, guilty of robbery as charged.” Winthrop never moved a muscle, but turned to Attorney Bell, who asked that the jury be polied. The operation was gone through with, each of the jurymen responding that the verdict announced by Mr. Cutten was_his. Bell then asked for time in which to prepare a motion for a new trial, but Judge Waliace refused to allow him longer than until next Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when the ex-custodian of Laurel Hill Cemetery was ordered to ap- pear for rentence. His Honor remarked, bowever, that if it was then found neces- sary to grant more time it would probably be allowed. Winthrop was handcuffed to the Deputy Sheriff, after kissing his children, and taken into the jury-room, where his wife awaited him. "After bidding her good- by he was taken to the Black Maria, which conveyed kim to the County Jail. Immediately after leaving her husband Mrs. Winthrop saw Mrs. Dunton in the corridor. Mrs, Dunton hurried from the building, with Mrs. Winthrop following close in her wake. Mrs. Dunton became much alarmed and returned to police headquarters and reported the matter to Chief Crowley, who detailed a policeman to accompany her to Ler home. MUM’S THE WORD. Socialist Laborers Will Resume Their Silent Meectings. The Socialist Labor party has adopted the following preambles and resolution: WHEREAS, the repeated efforts of the prose- cuting attorney have failed to obtain a con- viction of the members of the Socialist Labor 2rty who were arrested ou the 29th of August ast and tried by juries on charges of obstruct- ing & public streét and wheress, the accused Arties are consequently debarred from bring- ng the outrageous action of the Police Depart- ment of San Francisco to the official notice of the Supreme Court for the purpose of obtain- ing a judicial decision as to the constitutional right of citizens to assemble in public meeting on public streets. Now. therefore, in order to carry out the programme of the Socialist bor party that was so rudely and ur.war- rantably broken up and dispersed hs the po- lice on the evening in question, and in the hore that the experience gained in this matter will have taught the police authorities a much- needed lesson, and that they will in future Tespect the rights of citizens to assemble in public meeting on the public streets, and instruct or cause their officers to be instructed a8 to the differences that exist between a +crowd” and a “public_meeting” of citizens, in order that they may in future know enough to distinguish between the two and fulfili their duties in an intelligent manner; be it Resolved, That the Socialist Labor party re- sume its silent meetings on the corner of Sey- enth and Market streets, and that the public be in to attend on Saturday evening, September 19, at 8 o’clock. .

COAL OIL WAS USED. The Stuff Spread All Over the Furniture, Walls and Carpets. COVERED BY LARGE INSURANCE How M. C. Wenceslow, the Proprie- tor, Took Out Policies Under Two Different Names. Between 2 and 6 o’clock’yesterday morn- ing an attempt was made to burn out the saloon at 311 Bush street, near Montgom- ery. It will be remembered that years ago this place was the headquarters of Christopher Buckley, and many a man entered the front door and departed from the back door that opens on the little alley, made or marred for life. For sev- eral months it was unoccupied, but last June it was rented by M. C. Winslow, who reopened the old well-known aaloon. From a!l accounts Winslow’s venture was not a great success, and on the 14th the Sheriff took charge of the business upon an attachment in favor of D. E. Besecker, who wanted payment on a $7650 butcher bill. It was stated that another of Winslow’s creditors was about to levy another attachment for $300. To state the case briefly Winslow was anything but prosperous, and the financiat clouds seemed to be gathering fast on his hor- zon. Fire Marshal Charles Towe yesterday re- ceivea word that an attempt had been made to burn the saloon during the night and he at once made an investigation, and the evidence he obtained led him to be- lieve that he knew who the man was who committed the deed. The pian was evi- dently well laid, but, like many of a sim- ilar nature, it miscarried because the per- petrator was ignorant of a few natural laws. Coaloil had been boured all over the floor, walls and portieres that divide the smail cardrooms in the rear. The match had been applied, and the flames spread up the wall and consumed the cur- tains and then went out. The reason for this was the fellow who applied the match did not want the first burst of flames to be seen from the street, and he closed the doors to the main saloon and the fire died ont for want of fresh air and a draught. Hud the plan been a suc- cess the office of the Breeder and Sports- man paper and a jeweiry manufactory in the second and third stories would Kn been destroyed or badly damaged. Dan_Fallon, the night barkeeper, left the saloon safe and securely locked at 2 o’clock in the morning, and at 6 o’clock Fred Schenkel, the day barkeeper, entered the place and made the discovery. None of vhe doors had been forced or broken, and the only other person who had a key to the premises was Winsiow, the pro- prietor. Later in the day a telephone message was received from Winslow, who said he was in San Jose. Kire Marshal Towe looked over the premises and decided that there was not over $500 or $800 worth of stock and fixtures in the place. He further found that the saloon was run un- der the names of J. S. and M. C. Winslow, although who J. 8. Winslow is was a mys- tery. Another peculiarity that the Fire Marshal learned was that since June Win- slow had taken out two fira insurance licies, one for $1000 1n the name of M. . Winslow, and the other for $2500 in an- other company in the name of M. C. Wen- ceslow. An insurance of $3500 on $500 worth of property, taken out in two poli- cies and in two names, caused a grave suspicion in the mind of the Fire Marshal, and he asked the Deputy Sheriff in charge of the saloon to inform him as soon as the proprietor of the place put in an appear- ance. Late in the afternoon Winslow went to the saloon and Mr. Towe was telephoned for. He guestionen Winslow for nearly an hour. The latter said that on Tuesday afternoon be went to Haywards to see a friend about raising money to pay off the claims standing against him, and from Haywards he went to San Jose in a bugey and was there at the time of the fire. He said that the difference in the names in the two insurance policies was a mis- take of the agent, and that while his true name is Wenceslow he is often called Winslow and so siens himself occasionally. He stated that J. S. Winslow or Wences- low is bis brother, who is now residing in Guadalupe. Fire Marshal Towe is anything but sat- isfied with his investigation and his inter- view with Winslow or Wenceslow. The latter was directed to call at the office of Mr. Towe this afternoon, when a more searching inquiry will be made. Hs for- merly lived in Oaklana, so he said, and at present he lives with his wife on Powell street, near Sacramento. TAX COMMISSIUNS. The County of Sacramento Loses in Its Battle With State Controller Colgan. The Supreme Court has affirmed the de- cision of the lower tribunal in the case of the County of Sacramento against State Controller E. P. Colgan. The action was in mandate, it being sought to compel the Controller, in his next settlement with the Sacramento County Treasurer, to aliow the Treasurer to retain $32.660 10 claimed to be due the county as State tax commis- sions. The Superior Court found ad- versely to the piaintiff. In affirming the decision the Supreme Court reviews at length the statutes gov- erning tax commissions charged by coun- ties upon State taxes. By the act of 1870 the county was allowed as commission on all but school taxes 6 per cent on the first $10,000, 4 per cent on all over $10,000 and under $20,000, and 2 per cent on all over the last-named sum. The act of 1874 allows the county 1 per cent on all taxes. The sole question was whether the act of 1870 or that of 1874 should govern the award of commissions 1o the county. The lower court held that the first act was reé;uhd by the second, a ruling which the Supreme Court upheld. —_—————— Socialist Lecture.
