Lee, who has resided in this city for a couple of mont s, but whose wife and child live in Oakiand, was arrested here this afternocon |on a charge of deserting his family. When the arrest was made Lee was en- gaged 10 paintinz the Central M. Church. Along with the warrant of ar- rest came a report from Oakland and San | Francisco—particularly the latter city— | that L2e has been engaging himseif in marriage to various estimable young | ladies, who were ignorant that he had a| wife, and it is aiso reported that he is en- zagzed to a girl here in Stockion. When interviewea at the jail the ac- cused denied the engagements, but ac- knowledged that he had deserted his wife and child. He declared he could not live with his wife, and said in effect that he was dragged into his marriage with her. Her father was formerly Speaker of the Assembly of the State of Washington, | | and the young woman was Postmistress | | of a small town there. Lee wasa student | | in the State Aericuitural College at Cor- vallis, Or., from which he gradnated in June, 1897. He was married in February at Hanlord, Cal. From there they went to Oakland the following moxth. Mrs. Kate Mills arrived frcm San Fran- ci-co to-uay to identify the prisoner. Sbe | keevs the bourding-house at whieh Lee had stopped. Every now and then, ac- | cording to the woman’s story, some Christian Endeavor young lady would in- | quire for W. T. Lee. Upon learning that he had a wife the inquirers would reply | that he could not vpossibly be the gentle- | man to whom they referred, each one adding that he was engaged to her. The Stockton young lady is supposed to be the cousin of a yourg man named | Ingle. Ste and Lee were acquainted in | Oregon, and Ingle and Lee have been great friends.

Stan- | ford, the Democratic member, havinz re- | fused to sign the certificates of elcction because of certain taily-sheets and ballots, in thatihe judges of election 1n s:veral instances failed to sign the former and thatat least 500 of the laiter were counted in spite of the fact that they were not indorsed with the | | initials of one of the judges as required { by law. THe Repub!ican supervisors,upon advice of counsel, dec:ded to disregard these apparent irregularities, whereupon Mr. Stanford, who had been elected secre- tary, withdrew. The other two then reor- ganizec and issued suopents to the judges and clerks of the various precinets to ap- pear before them on Monday to make the necessary corrections iu the tally-shoets. Mr. Stanford tuereupon entered a protest, claiming that the whole course of the | board is illegal, and the quesion is ikely to be tuken into court, where an attempt | may be made to throw out the unma ballots and reverse the resuli of the late election, in which event the four Assem- blymen and one Senator from Somerset may go into the Democratic instead of the Republican column. e GOVERNOR WOLCOTT i ON THE RESULT. Sorry for Tracy’s Defeat, but on the Whole Is Sat- isfied. i BOSTON, Nov. 5.—Ata meeting of the Greenbalge Club to-night Governor Wol- cott said the result of the elections was absolutely satisfactory, the onlv exception being the eleciion in' New York. Mr. Low was a loyal Republican and had shown a devotion to honest politics. | Mr. Tracy's distinguished ability was admitted, but hiseandidacy meant but one thing — opposition to Tummany Hall. | To put a second Republican in the field was madness. Every one saw with amaze- ment this creat ciiy handed over to Tam- many for iour years. That would give Tammany time (o intrencn itself and the Democratic party. It might control the election in the Empire State and the na- tion in a Presidential year.

Judge Wallace Listened to the Pris- oner's Verbal Plea for Meroy and Then Passed Sentence. A. L. Knott, convicted of the murder of Joseph Knauer, was yesterday sentenced by Judge Wallace to be hanged in San Quentin on Friday, January 21 next. Although Judge Wallace has been on the bench for about half a century, he never beiore passed the death sentence. Knott's defense was an attempt to prove an alibi, and there was some suggestion that he wasinsane at the time of the killing, but nothing definite was vroved in this regard. 8o far as could be judged irom the testimouy, it wasa case of pre- | meditated murder. The men bad quarreled | Presidio Grounds, 2:30 p. m irregularities in the | about a dog, and each had the other arrested for assault. Knott was convicted and Knauer was acquitted. Knott seemed to brood over what he considered his wrongs, and on July 6 of this year, twelve months after the original trouble, he stepped up to Knauer on the street and shot him down in cold blood. These facts were brought out at the triai, and the prosecution picked a flaw in the pretended alibi in showing that there was no witness who could swear that Knott was absent from the scene of the murder at the moment of the shooting. The pest that bis frierds could prove was that he was two blocks away within half an hour of the occurrence, and it was established that the defendan: might have walked to the place where Knauer was killed within four or five minutes after he was seen by thos> who were depended on to prove tue alibi, Knottis a man of peculiar appearance, as he wears his hair very long and fastens it on the top of his head in a pug, some- thing after the fashion popular among women several years ago. He made a brief speecn in his own behalf, asking for merey, when ssked why sentence should | not be pronounced, saying that soms im- portant witnesses who ought to have been present to testify for nim failed to come forward, as was their duty. _When the death senténce was uttered Knott sat dowa quietly and appeared to be eutirely unconcerned about the out- come of the proceedings. The usual ap- peal to the Supreme Coart will be 1aken, o it will probably be a year from next January be ore the sentence of Judge Waltsce will be carried out, and there is a possibility that Knott may grow old with Durrant in Murderers’ Row at San Quentin, GRIDIRON GAMES T0-DAY to Meet in Their Final Strugele.

Shanahan, the Tall Sycamore, ete., of thusta, and just now a Code Com- missioner, would be Governor of Califor- | nia, one may learn on the quiet, and a Shanahan campaign may soon line up | with 1he early Maguire campaign, a Jeter | campaign and a & other brands. Mr. Shanahan’s latent ambition did not nto put forth tue tender leaves of hope until Governor Budd recently de- clared that he was wholiy out of the race. Since then Mr. Shanahan has been “‘men- tioned”’ oceasionally by speculative poli- ticlans, and now friends are quietly feel- ing party leaders and enlisiing support. The Shanahan campaign is diifcrent from its competitorsin that 1t is a double- enier. This statesman was born and raised a Jeffersorian Democrat, but early in the la st campaign he landed in the Populist party with s run and a jump. After the Chicago convention had dec ared tor free silver, eic., he was a trifle sorry, but he re- mained a Populist and is nominally one in good standing to-day. The idea under- Iving the S8hanahan movement is that upon him tue Democracy and what is left or the Popuiist pariy in the State might fuse and together stand some ghost of a show in a conceded “yellow dog’’ R:pub- lican vear. T. V. Oator, the Populist leader, is stated to think the scheme an admirable one. Dr. W. P. Matthews, secretary of the Board of Healih, T. Carl Spelling of this city and others are planting and wa- tering for Shanahan. And some are speculating on the chance of Shanaban becoming the candidate of the Sta‘'e administration forcas.

Hour After Hour the Condemned Man Sits at the T.ble In His Cell and Scribbles. Special Dispatch to THE CALL SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Nov. 5.— Within th- narrow contines of his dismal cell in Murderers’ Row, Theodore Dur- rant, the slayer of Blanche Lamont, is writing. a history of his life, and the greater portion of the manuscript is alrezdy in the bands of his father. Darrant’s cell is not over large ana the little ray of licht that manages to creep in is just sufficient for him to see the paper. There, surrounded by stone on | three sides, with reof and door of iron, | the murderer writes for hours at a time. California and Reliance Teams | | when some knotty question arises in his Occasionally he stops and paces the floor mind; then back he goes to the work of compiling the history that some day may become public property. The time when the murderer is not sleepinz or writing he spends either in reading to relieve the monotony or in the yard. Only once since Durrant has been at work on the history of his brief yet stormy career has he refused to take his daily cxercise in the ojen air. Tuat day he stated that he preferred to remain in his cell and wtite, and while the footfalls of the other condemned men echoed on the stone pavement he sat at the table writing continuously. Durrant has not taken any of the prison officials into his confidence, nor to any verson other than his father and mother has be ullowed any partof his life’s story to escape. Itis the general impression at tne big penitentiary that tne hour of Durrant’s execution is rapidly drawing near, and Warden Hale's hasty departure from the | Bast, it is said, :s not without signifi- cance. However, in spite of all this, Durrant betrays not the stigh:est trace ot tear and absoiutely declines to discuss his | cass with any one other than his parents and his attorneys. The regular weekly visits of his mother and father continue, and for over an hourata time Durrant converses with them, always in whispers, while a guard stands watch near by. LITTLE PETES TRIAL.

The killing of *'Little Pete’” took place at a barber-shop in Chinatown on the 23d of last Janury and the tragedy caused an unusual excitement in the quarter of the city whica has been given over to the Mongolian race. The defense reli:d on proving an alibi, and there were several Chinese witnesses who swore that the defendant and his companion, Chun Chuey, were in a room some distance from the scene of the killing, and that they did not leave the premises named from early in the evening until they were arrested and charged with the murder of *Little Pete.” The jury at 10 o’clock last night had not —_—— NEW TO-DATY.
