Up to this evening Mr. Bowers | had expressed confidence that he was re- ected, but officiai returns, showing . Castle’s plurality to be in the neighbor- .bhood" of 300, find him a greatly dtsap- pointed man. His close friends do not be- . lieve that he wiil make any effort to defeat Castle, whose plurality is much larser than was considered possible a few days | ago. Bowers attributes his defeat to Judge George Puterbaugh, who ran indepen- * dently for the Superior judgeship, after failing to secure a renomination, thus, it | is”believed. drawing many votes away _from the regular ticket by combinations “’effected by his friends.

STCRY OF THE CRIME RETOLD. The People’s Counsel D:c'ares That the Prisoner’s Guilt Wil Bz Establish d. NAPA, Car, Nov. 11L.—The {gial of William Moore, charged with the murder of Mrs. Greenwood, drew a curious crowd that packed the courtroom long before the hour of beginning this morning. After Judge Murphy announced that all was in readiness to proceed District Attorney Bell made the opening statement for the people, showing what the prosecution would attempt to prove. **We propose to show,” said he, “that Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood were residents of Napa Connty, living about six mites from Napa, that Mrs. Greenwood was mur- dered on the evening of February 9, 1891, and that Moore was the guilty person. Mr. Greenwood was working on his farm dur- ing the afternoon of that day, 1ixing some fences. In the afternoon Mrs. Greenwood visited friends, and was not at home when Mr. Greenwooa returned to the house. Mr. Greenwood then began doing some work in the yard, when two men— William Moore and Carl Schmidt—en- tered the yard and approached. They first asked for work, and then something to eat. Being refused, these two men, Moore and Schmidt, drew pistcls, ordered Mr. Greenweod into the house and bournd him to a chair. then administered to him. “When Mrs. Greenwood returned she was taken to her bedroom, where a poison- ous liquid was also administered to her. The liquid will be proved by expert testi- mony to have been poisonous. During the visit of these men Mr. Greenweod was shot twp or three times and almost killed. “‘That is the evidence in rezard to the murder. We will prove,” coatinued the District Attorney, “‘that” Moore is the guilty party, for the following reasons: Moore had formerly worked for Lynch. Certain jewelry—a watch, chain and ring— | owned by Moore while working for Lynch was similar to that worn by the man who committed tne murder. While working for Lynch Moore had a bottle of poisonous liguid like tbat used in the murder. Two weeks previous to the murder Moore left the empioy of Lynch, but had been seen on the afternoon of Fevruary 8 at Valiejo. On February 9 Mogre and_ Schmidt left Vallejo and started toward Napa, and th y were seen near the Greenwood place w short time previous to the commission of the crime. Late on the night of the mur- der Moore ana fchmidt were seen at the German House. The confession of Moore to Mrs. Meyse, Sheriff Burr and others of Los Angeles and to Sheriff McKenzie and others of Napa wou!d aiso tend %o prove his gailt.” The District Attorney closed his state- ment to the jury by saying: *‘We expect you to return a_ verdict of guilty of mur- | der in the iirst degree.” There are thirtv-two witnesses for the prosecution and ecight for the defense. John Q. Greenwood was the first called. His tesiimony 1n reference to the murder was in accordance with the statement of the District Attorney, except that he re- lated very minutely what happened on that eventful night. Moore was brought before Greenwood for identificaticn. Mr, Greenwood said: “'I can’t swear that he is the man, but he is very much like the murderer of my wife; but I am not positive that he is the Physicians gave testimony regarding the oison that had been administered to Mrs. Greenwood and the case was con- tinned until to-morrow.

CAHTO, Can, Nov. 11.—The sherifl's officers returned to Usal to-night, having failed to effect the capture of Smith and Noble, the last of the guartet suspected of complicity 1n the murder of rancher John Mudgett. Deputy Sheriffs Hart and Day say they have the two men located and do not anticipate any great difficulty in effecting their capture. The preliminary hearing of the Dodge fam1ly and Ferguson, which 1s set for to-morrow, requires the presence of the officers, hence their abandonment of the pursuit for the present. The evidence against the Dodge family | is strongly circumstantial. The family is | known to have been sorely pressed for money for some time prior 1o the murder, and immediately afterward young Dodge endeavored to negotiate a draft that was | payabl: to Mudgert. Other members of the family snddenly became possessed of monéy and made lavish expenditures. This in iteelf seemed abundant reason for holding them for trial. District Attorney Sturtevant of Ukiahand Judge Bainbridge | of Usal will conduct the hearing. There is a noticeable lullin the excite- | ment to-day as compared with yesterday. The communily is apparently satisfied to await the result of the examination. The prisoners are well guarded. 5 FELT I8 RCHMOND, McKinley’s Election Gives an Impetus to Business in the West. Beneficial Effects~ Already Apparent in R-al Estate and Im- provements. “Richmond by the sea’’ has already felt the effects of the “election of President McKintey. Inside of the short space of one week confidence in the stability of the | country has had the effect of bringing the Richmond district into touch, with the | good news from other portions of the country. T. G. Parker, the principal real estate agent for the Richmond district, who was a candidate for Supervisor of the Twelith Ward, saia: “I am willing to confess, although I was a Bryan man, that I have noticed an im- provement already in this section. The people have confidence now, whereas be- fore the election they were in doubt about investing their money. *I have rented four houses and two stores since election day, and have had inquiries forcloice pieces of property. Consequéntly 1 am wiliing to confess that the peuple who voted for McKinley were right, while yet I believe Bryan is a great man.” In addition to Mr. Farker's opinion others in Richmond have felt the good in- fluence. F. M. Fingeer, who owns the Boulevard, on the southwest corner of Tirst and Point Lobos avenues, had an | offer on last Sunday of $1050 for his sa- | loon and two-siory buiMding, wliich he de- clined. This probably is owing to the between Point | Lobos and the park, is about to be bi- | tuminized in the near future and made a ! boulevard. 2 | In addition to this, the streets and ave- | nues running through the old racetrack are being laid out and will ot macad- amized just as soon as suitable sewers are run throuzh them. On the opposite corner to that of Flug- ger's, where the big sand hill stood for centuries on the irregular iot facing the 0dd Fellows Cemetery, a $7000 building is now in course of erection. This property is owned by Mrs. Wheeland, and the building is being put up by Edward Cox for the sum mentioned. It will consist of a store and five flats, and will, when fin- ished, be a deciged improvement to this section of Richmond. Other buiidings are being adaed to the Richmond District. A store and two flats | on Point Lobos and Eleventh avenuesat a cost of §4200 are being built. P Mr. Conway is building two dwellings on Eighth and Point Lobos avenues, The conciete foundation for Mrs, Ryer’s building, on Fourth avenue and Clement street, is finished, and the work rectiz.g the houscs will be pushed to a u at once. G Ninth and Point Lobes avenues will have a $2500 residence in the course of a few weeks. Father Coyle’s new parsonage is nearly finished. He was fortunate in having the roof on before tne rain came. Several of the streetsand avenues are being macadamized and put in condition for the winter. The only thoroughfare that seems to be | neglected is Point Lobos avenue, which has several inches of red mud over its sur- face. But ss this avenue is under the control of the Park Commissioners the residents have given up all hopes of bet- terment in that direction. Thisand the blind sewer in frontof the French Hos- pital property on Sixth avenue are two evils from which there seems to be no re- lief for the present.

Military Officia's Along the Coast Watching for the B uscoat’s Appearancs. f PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 11.— Three years ago William Davrey, the owner of a farm near Vancouver, Wash., went to Ari- zona to engage in mining, a pursuitin which he believed he could the more read- ily lift a mortage resting upom his place. Davrey at that time was about 32 vears | old. He left behind two children anda | wife, whom he had reason to believe was both loving and faithful. It appears that Davrey succeeded fairly well, for, from time to time, he remitted money to his wife to assist in freeing his farm from debt. Recently Mrs. Davrey re- ceivea a $300 draft from her husband for that purpose, and in reply she wrote to him that she would no longer consider herself his wife, and asked his advice as to what disposition should be made of their chiidren. He at once took his de- parture from Arizona for home, but when he reached Vancouver, two days ago, his wife was not there to bid him welcome. | He learned that the last $300 he remitted had not been applied to the yart cancela- tion of the mortgage upon his farm, but that the faithless woman had appropri- ated it to her own use. Then he ascer- tained’ that his wife had eloped with Ray Cleary, a deserting private soldier from the barracks. Her two children she left | with friends in Vaucouver. but early last for her four-year-old daughter. | Davrey, accompanied by Sheriff Miller of Vancouver, came to Portland yesterday in the hope of finding the pair. The de- ceived husband stated that he had no fur- ther use for his runaway wife, bu: all he | wanted was his little girl and the $300 his wife had robbed him of. All they suc- ceeded in learning was that Mrs. Davrey | and Cleary had left for San Francisco last Thurday. By this time all the military authorities desertion, and his being handicapped by the woman and her child will make his capture an easy matter, providing he and Mrs. Davrey really have gone to San Fran- cisco.
