SAN JOSE, Cal., March 18.—Unless | the Supreme Court interferes, Thomas W. Flannelly must hang on May 27 for the murder of his father, Patrick Flan- nelly, at Redwood City, on October 26 last. This was the time fixed for the execution by Judge Lorigan to-day. The courtroom was crowded with specta- Flannelly went through the or- deal without flinching, and seemed un- concerned. When the case was called this morn- ing Attorney Strauss moved for a new trial on the ground that Juror Ed- wards was asleep in the jury box on March 7 while C. D. Barton was giving mat defendant. Affidavits substantiating this charge were also made by C. . Cobb, Attorney Rhiel and Pearl Noble. The latter alleged Edwards to have been asleep long enough to allow her to make a sketch of him in one posi- tion. An afiidavit made by Murderer Flan- | nelly was also presented, and made the | ground for a new trial. It related that as the jury was retiring to the jury room the defendant heard Juror Wil- liam Buckley say to another juror: “You can fight it out; till h—— freezes over; my mind is made | up; I'll hang him. District Attorney Dis teo County were granted time to pre- Herrington and pare counter affidavits, and at this aft- | were_ ernoon’s se: denied. fon the allegations Judge Lorigan then denfed the trial, and ordered Flannelly to stand up. The case was no response when asked if he had any: thing to say, and May 27 was then named as the day for the carrying out of the sentence of the court. The place of execution will be named hereafter. Strauss took exceptions to the court’s denial of the motion for a new trial, and the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. Flannelly maintains the same stoical demeanor that has characterized him since the crime was committed, and re- fused to discuss the case after sentence was pronounced. Just before the adjournment of court to-day Attorney L. P. Boardman of San Francisco appeared before Judge Lori- gan, and asked for a certificate of probable cause in the Flannelly case. This was denied, and counsel gave no- tice of appeal to the Supreme Court. INTERESTS THE COAST. Promise of a Hearing on the Mineral Lands Bill.

RIVERSIDE, March 18.—D. T. Jackson, one of the men who swindled I Wither- spoon and County Recorder Gruwell in a mining deal a few days ago, has been captured and will soon be brought back to face his accusers, of whom there are said to be many in this and San Ber- nardino counties besides the two named. Sheriff Johnson received a telegram this evening from Chief of Police Farley of Denver to the effect that he had arrested Jackson and held him in jail there. Jackson and H. W. Clay were ringlead- ers of a gang of five swindlers who have scooped in the money of confiding owners of mines in this part of the State. Sheriff Johnson will start for Sacra- mento to-day for requisition papers and from there go to Denver. for Jackson. Nothing has been heard of Clay by the officers, but it is believed he is still hid- ing in this part of the State. He left Colton, the headquarters of the gang, a day later than Jackson did, and the offi- cers feel sure he will be captured shortly. SWEEPING CHALLENGE BY JOE GANS’ BACKER. BALTIMORE, March 18.—A.

FRESNO, March 18.—Coon Crutcher and Deputy Constable Dumas returned from Cantua Canyon in the coast range this afternoon with Arthur Sanchez and Perfido Flores, Mexicans, charged by Martin Rivas with the murder of Feliciano Molino on March 4 and the burning of the victim’'s cabin. Molino’s remains were burned to a crips. Only a portion of the skull remained. Coroner Long held an inquest, and a verdict of accidental death by burning was brought in by the jury. If any wounds had been inflicted by the assassin evidence of the crime was obliterated by the flames. Rivas was related to Molino, and, believing his kinsman had been mur- dered, he began investigation. After several days sufficient circumstantial evidence was obtained to justify the arrest of Sanchez and Flores. He came to Fresno and placed the matter before District Atterney Snow, and then swore to a complaint charging the men with murder. Crutcher and Dumas left Fresno on Monday night to make the arrests, and the trip required four days. The officers drove to the New Idria mines, ninety miles distant. The men made no resistance. Sanchez is a young man, but his companion is considered a hardened criminal. Flores, it is said, killed a man at Tehachapi, and served seven years in prison. The evidence against the men Is altogether circumstantial. A great many | cattle have been stolen from the ranges in the Cantua section during the past | several years. Molino had evidence that a number of his neighbors belonged to a band of Mexican cattle thieves guilty of the depredations. Several bit- ter quarrels between members of the band and Molino resulted. It was sus- pected that he Informed the officers regarding their acts of lawlessness, and threats were made against his life. Patria Sanchez, the mother of the prisoner, harbored the thieves, and often expressed dee~ hatred for Molino. On the day before his death the woman sent forth word that she was lonely and desired that the man's nephew, a | mere lad, come over and stay all night. Molino lived in the cabin with the | boy as his companion. On the same day one of the members of the gang | borrowed Molino’s Winchester rifle. This left the man alone In his cabin an | easy victim for the assassins. Young Sanchez did not stay at home on the fatal night. He came in about 4 o’clock in the morning, and said that he had remained all night with | John Wright. Wright said this is not true. Sanchez claimed he was out all day in search of burros, and that darkness overtook him on the trail, com- | pelling him to pass the night in a deserted cabin. Flores says that he re- mained in this cabin with a friend on the night of Molino’s death. Sanchez was not fortunate in giving excuses.

TARD SLUGGING AND WRESTLING “Australian Jimmy” Ryan Is Given a Decision Over “Jim"” Watts. Contest Stopped at the Order of the Police in the Twentieth Round. | Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 18.—Music Hall would not accommodate the im- mense crowd that assembled to-night to witness the twenty round go between “Australian Jimmy” Ryan and ‘Jim’ ‘Watts (colored), champion middle-weight of the South.

Watts closed Ryan’s left eye in the sixteenth | round, but this did not diminish the lat- ter's ardor. In the twentieth round, dur- | ing a fierce short-arm mix, Ryan landed | several blows on Watts' ' Jjaw, causing him to weaken perceptibly. ~ A knockout being imminent, the referee stopped the fight at the instanceof the Chief ot Police, and then gave a decision in favor of Ryan.

Thousands of Dollars Realized ‘Within the Last Three Days. Specimens of the Rich Ore Brough to Redding and Ex- hibited. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, March 18.—The rumor of a $20,000 strike in the old Washington mine at French Gulch was confirmed to-day. The man who made the dis- covery is Willlam A. Blagrave, a lessce. The remarkable find was uncovered on new ground. Bob Garvin arrived in town to-night from French Gulch, twenty-two miles west of Redding, and exhibited a rich specimen presented to him by the discoverer. It was smoke-colored quartz, full of chunky wire gold. The specimen is worth a few dollars. “I'll tell you,” said Garvin, saw with my own eyves: Blagrave had a can full of quartz—I should judge about a half-gallon—and it was worth not less than $600. He had other pieces of quartz, larger than your two hands, which was fairly skewered together with gold, and some smaller pieces, two or three ounces In weight, worth $20 apiece. Blagrave has been working on his lease for some time, but it is only within the last three days that he struck it rich, and it is getting better all the time. Some one reported that it was a pocket, but that's not so. It's simply a remarkably rich shoot in a ledge.” The Washington mine, on whose ground the discovery was made, has been one of the richest in the country, but for the last ten or twelve years the mine proper has not been operated. All the work has been performed by the leeses. Many rich strikes have been made at one time or another. The ‘Washington mine is a short distance west of Milkmaid, owned by Senator John P. Jones, and is a couple of miles form the Majava group of mines, once the property of the late William T. Coleman. The mines of French Gulch have nearly all produced fortunes, and are good . dividend producers at the present day. William A. Blagrave has made many rich discoveries in this vicinity, and is a miner well known throughout North- ern California. A number of years ago he made 2 rich strike in the Brown Bear mine. He discovered the Green mine, which produced over two hun- dred thousand dollars. Blagrave's jease expires on the 1st of April, and it has been given out that no leases will be renewed. The oninion has been ex- pressed that the find made by Blagrave was ‘“‘covered” by former leasers, who never got the opportunity to return and work 1t out. WAS_ PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL LIBERAL LEAGUE. Death of Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Uage, One of the Earliest Champions of Woman’s Rights. CHICAGO, March 18.—Mrs. Matilda Jos- lyn Gage, who won an international repu- tation as one of the earliest champions of woman's nfihu in America, died here to- day, aged T2 years. Mrs. G was president of the National ‘Woman'’ uffrage Association in 1876, and for many years she was president of the New. York State Association. She found- ed the*National Liberal League, in 1878, and was its president at the time of her death. B Stanford Students Honored.

SACRAMENTO, March 18.—Mayor Land and Chief of Police Dwyer have come out triumphant in their first skir- Not a game is running in town to-night. Mayor | Land has been the recipient of many | | congratulations over his victory, | Chief Dwyer shares with him the grati- and | tude. After the shut-down to-day the army | of the green cloth passed over the river | into Yolo County. No sooner had the | layouts been spread in Washington | | than in walked a Constable, and with | a John Doe warrant arrested the dealer | | of one of the principal faro establish- ments. As usual, a $100 bond was pro- vided and the prisoner turned loose. Some months ago the women of ‘Washington circulated a petition, and addressed it to the Supervisors, pray- ing that something might be done to rid the town of the shameful influ- ences daily paraded before their chil- dren by the proprietors and promoters of these games. No actlon was taken by the board, and not unt{l the recent expose made by The Call did relief come. Following The Call's article on the condition of affairs in Yolo came | the passage of one of the strongest | anti-gambling ordinances ever passed by any county in the State. This seem€ to have given new hope | to the women of Washington, and it is very probable that the arrest to-day was the result of a determination to see whether or not the little town of Wash- | ington shall forever remain as the dumping ground for violators of the | law from Sacramento. If Washington | had a Mayor Land and a Chief Dwyer, | the question would be speedily settled to the credit and protection of the homes and to the good name and profit of the people living there.
