Will Escape the Penalty of the Attempt to Kill His Wife, Judge Ogden 'Will Hear More Testi- mony and Make an Order To-Morrow. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 14. The man who attempted to shoot his wife and who was accredited with being concerned in the death of Mr. Camarinos at the Agnews Asylum was declared by Drs. Barber and Rabe this morning to be insane. The examination of J. W. Lynn has so far occupied two days, and the testimony taken was of such a conflicting nature that the doctors could not readily agree upon a verdict. Even now Dr. H. Rucker, a former superintendent of the Stockton Asylum, Health Officer Dunn and Winslow, a nurse, do not accept the judgment of the two doctors, but believe that Lynn is a schemer. During the proceedings the fact was brought out that Lynn’s mother is at present an inmate of Utica Asylum, at New York, where Lynn was an attend- ant for eleven years. He is of a very Jealous disposition and some time ago was injured on the head, and these are held to be the predisposing causes of his insanity. Lynn believes, or professes to believe, that three men make continual visits to him, place an electric battery on his neck and fill him with the fluid. He professes to continually hear voices which speak ill of him and also assumes to believe that he is in danger of great bodily harm from invisible men who are ever around him. His commitment ends the trial for the attempted murder of his wife, and the argument of the prosecution made ves- terday that Lynn, whatever his condition of mind may now be, was sane when he shot his wife, wiil have no effect. In discussing this guestion Dr. Barber said: *“We must be perfectly impartial and look into the reason for each onec giving his evidence and discover if they | are moved by any bias. The fact that the | man's mother is in an asylum suggests | hereditary insanity, and while he may have been shamming In jail it may have induced insanity under the conditions and circumstances. We have nothing to do with his condition at the time of his attack on his wife, and gave our verdict on his present condition.” Lynn was brought before Judge Ogden this afternoon, so that the court could ass upon the recommendation of the Socmrs regarding a commitment. He was so violent that it took five men to hold him, and the examination was continued till to-morrow afternoon. AUTHORITIES ARE ANGRY. Pranks of College Students That May Lead to Serious Consequences. | BERKELEY, April 14.—Captain Emil Kellner, superintendent of the university grounds, and Armorer Mitchell are wrathy over some practical jokes that | were perpetrated last night on the Col-; lege campus by & crowd of students. The | crowd started out early in the evening | to charivari thelr fellow student, C. F. | Balaam, the story of whose romantic se- ! cret marriage to Miss Gwynedd Carnoll, | a middier in the Berkeley High School, was published exclusively In yesterday'a Call. { After serenading the sludent-husband“ and his bride the crowd repaired with | horns and tin cans to the college grounds. Wheels were taken from the water carts | that were standing on the campus and hoisted to the tops of the electric light poles, from which they were removed by the university police this morning after gome difficulty. A number of tin cans were also hoisted to the top of the uni- versity flag staff, and this in particular angered the university authorities, TFive | years ago similar pranks had become common, and the president issued a | warning that any student ever caught interfering with the flag pole would be summarily dismissed. It is charged also that the revelers effected an entrance in- to the armory and took a guantity of blank cartridges, which they subsequent- ly used to make a noise in the coliege town. An investigation of the affair has been instituted by the college authorities, but President Kellogg this evening declined | to state just what had been learned or | what course will be pursued with regard to the offenders. —_————————— ATHLETIC EXHIBITION.

An Important Victory Won in the Courts of Mendocino County. The members of the California State Fish Commission are rejoicing over a victory recently achieved in Medocing County in a case of two men arrested fop violating the fish laws.. Last December Deputy Griffiths arrested Willlam Walker and Frank Ogden for illegal fishing in | Garcia River. The men had a small- mesh net strung across the river, which is about 200 feet wide at that point. They were held to answer anu last Tuesday Ogden was taken befere the Superfor Court, where he was found to be guilty by a jury. At the preliminary ~hearing Ogden testified that the net did not ex- i S e e S Y one- third. Seve e story as to the lenstn of the pgl':h,Amzl hearing of the case he was confronted with his previous testimony, and he was sadly mixed up when he learned that the net he had uged was about 400 feet wide, which_left over 200 feet unaccounted for, and the jury believed that the officers had told the truth. The case against Walker was set for a later date, as there is a charge of m’th way robbery pending against him. The effort to save (\Fden was very bitter, as his conviction will not benefit the case of Walker. District Attorney G. A. Sturte- vant has worked well in the interests of the commission, even in the face of much local opposition. The Commissioners be- lieve that this conviction will have a beneficial effect upon those who for years have totally disregarded the law. " The smallest fine that can be imposed is $100. Deputy Davis had sent word to his su- periors that on Tuesday he arrested G. and A. Demazzio of Black Diamond for fishing for striped bass. The net they were using was of a very small mesh. The prisoners were taken to Suisun for trial. P —— GALLI WINS, YET LOSES. A Verdict Against the Railrodd That Meant to Him a Loss of Money. A fjury in Judge Daingerfield’s court yesterday rendered judgment for $250 in favor of Michael Galli and against the Market Street Railway Company.

The wire became detached from one of the poles used on the Third and Kearny street electric car system. It would have been better for Galli had the jury found ®or the amount of judgment, being under $300, does not carry costs with it.

LAND FOR THE MONKEY RANCH City Attorney to Be Instructed to Sue for Its Con- demnation. Report Adopted by the Street Com mittee of the Board of Supervisors, In spite of the vigorous protests here- tofore made by the residents of the Mis- sion, there is an evident determination on the part of the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors to impose upon the taxpayers of this city the expense of | establishing and maintaining a refuge for monkeys and other cheap and nasty beasts, ‘Which is by a stretch of courtesy referred to sometimes as a park and zoo. At a meeting of the Street Committee vestorday the Initial step was taken toward acquiring the Gum Tree tract for use as a public preserve for monkeys. The committee adopted a report recom- mending that the City Attorney be in- structed to begin proceedings for the condemnation of the land required for the zoo. This report will be submitted to the Supervisors on Monday. John H. Grady, on behalf of the Mis- sion Park Association, presented a report reciting that the owners of the property required for the park were not satisfied with the é)rlceu they had been offered for their land. It was in view of this fact that condemnation proceedings were sug- gested by the committee. It was further recommended that the area purchased be reduced so_ as to exclude tract No. 8. valued at $50,000 and comprising 24.80 acres, and a 1y"mrtlon of tract No. 5, valued at $12,500. This would reduce the appro- priation required by $62,500. The commit- tee reported that it' was unable to se- cure figures from the owners of the small triangular pieces of property required foe the proposed boulevard connecting Mis- sion street with the Balboa boulevard. They recommended that these pieces of land be purchased outright when the other lands were bought. It is estimated that the total amount required for the _rrznx)msed boulevard will not be more than 50 A protest was presented by the business men of Market street to the repeal of the ordinance requiring the renumbering of the south side of that thoroughfare. They claimed that they have already complied with the ordinance to a great extent and gul\'e incurred considerable expense in so 0ing. DISAPPELRED N THE NIGHT An Overcoat Purloiner. Badly Wanted by the De- tectives. Hackmen Are His Victims, and Many Reports Have Been Made, but Without Avall, Detective Ryan (he of pawnshop-search- ing fame) is at last cornered, or, in other words, completely at sea regarding many thefts which have occurred recently. ‘Within the past few days a clever crook has been watching his chances along the streets, and his mania seems to be over- coats, although the weather has been unfavorable for such wearing apparel. His victims, without an exception, have been hackdrivers, and when the oppor- tunity presents itself he slowly walks to the hack and takes a coat, if one {s within reach, and then, running toward an ap- | proa#hing car, loses himself in the gloom | or a crowd. Edward Dellex is the last complainant, and he reported to police headquarters that he was minus a valuable heavy coat which he always carried with him during the long night watches. Detective Ryan was detailed on the case, but has so far been unahble to gain any clew to the locality of the thief or the coat. Last evening a thief, who is supposed to be the same person, again made his appearance and took away a second coat from Del- lex, and in consequence the driver is now wearing a borrowed article, which is not removed even during the hot spells, for fear that the man may again claim what does not belong to him. The hack stand is in front of the Phelan building, and last evening when the theft was_committed, John Brooks, who lives in the neighborhood, saw the man take the article, but was unable to follow him or give a description of the guilty party. It is thought by the police that but one crook is concerned In the thefts, and it is hoped that an arrest will soon follow. All the pawnshops in the city are being investigated, with the object of gaining a description of the man, provided he should visit one of the ‘)!ues for the pur- pose of parting with his ill-gotten gains. —————— Trumbo and Baldwin Lcse.

Many Prominent People Sign a Petition to Give Him a Chance. The Young Convict's Mother Says Her Boy Is Needed to Sup- port the Home. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 14. When the prison directors meet on Sat- urday next at Folsom a determined effort will be made to have Abe Majors, the younger of the two boy burglars sent from here two years ago, released on parole. Many prominent people have signed a petition to the prison directors setting forth the facts In the case and stating that there is a great deal of reason and merit In the efforts of the boy's mother, | Mrs. Wagner. Since his term commenced young Ma- jors has been a model boy at Folsom. ‘Warden Aull and those who have been closely acquainted with his career are unanimous in testifying to his good be- havior. There are at this time many powerful arguments being put forth why the hoy should be given a chance to show whether he will behave himself out of prison, if released. Before entering on his romantic career of crime, a few weeks before his arrest, Abe Ma.{:)rs was always a good boy and did all he could to help support his mother and younger brothers after they W Jessntad by their father. His elder brother Archie, also the son of Majors, the first husband of Mrs. Wagner, was of a wild disposition, never did anything for the home, and since his brother's im- prisonment has not heiped his mother in any way. Mrs. Wagner says that she has no | doubt Abe was induced to enter a life of crime by some one older than himself, he heing only 16 at the time, and she feels convinced that if he be paroled he can obtain work in Oakland and can live down the odium of his boyish romantic crim- inal career. When on the coast nearly a year ago, Mrs. Ballington Booth took special interest in the boyish convict, and in a letter to his mother said that when Abe had served a year Mrs. Wagner should try to get him released condition- ally and she would help all in her power. The boy has now served two years, and to-day Mrs. Ballington Booth sent out an appeal, which may have some waeaight with the directors on behalf of the boy. Several judges and prominent attorneys have attached their signatures to the petition, and it is generally believed that it will have some weigh MRS. ELLA EAGLES WILL GO TO WAR She Wants to Be With the American Army as a Nurse. Her Application Has Brought Her Prominencs That She Now Grestly Dislikes. Mrs. Ella Eagles of 776 Hayes street has | gone into hibernation on account of the | notoriety she has invited by writing to | the adjutant-general of the United States | that she was burning with an ambition to go to war as a nurse, should hostill- ties arise between the United States and + Cuba. Mrs. Eagles lately received a note from the Governor's private secretary an- nouncing that her name was on the reg- ister as a volunteer nurse. The matter reached the newspapers in course of reg- ular war news, since which time she has taken to sack cloth and ashes, refusing to see reporters or friends, hesitating at meal time and regretting that she of- fered her services before the beginning of hostilities. But the fact is that Mrs. Eagles is selzed with a desire to go to battle and she regrets that she is not an able-bodied man capable of bearing arms. Mrs. Eagles was a little Buckeye girl when the late war broke out. She re- members that seven of her brothers went to war and that one never came back. She heard these who returned tell of the horrors of battle, of the sufferings of the wounded and of the great aid rendered by women in the nursing department. It was then that she made up her mind to become a nurse if there should ever be a war in her time. Mrs. Eagles has been in California for fifteen years,<having buried her husband five years 0 at Los Angeles. As she has no children she feels free to go to war as a nurse. The fires of patriotism burn In her breast, but she is sorry that she spoke of the matter before the firing of the first gun. Her friends and rela- tives beg her to give up the idea, but she clings to it with r?re tenacity and | thinks she will be one of the first among | all the volunteers and that her applica- tion }! frobihly the first that has been | sent in from this State. ——————————— Will Leave the Street.
