At the conclusion of the reading Judge Cook sald: “It still remains to be deter- mined whether Mrs. Botkin can be tried under section 27 of the Penal Code of this Btate.” Turning to the counsel he asked them to agree upon a date for arguing that point. District Attorney Hosmer asked that the prisoner be formally charged with murder and the evidence in the case be presented to the Grand Jury for its con- sideration. Attorney Knight said he was not pre- ared to argue the matter of the court’s urisdiction in the premises. Hosmer demanded that a day be set for the argument, and Knight sald he would waive all technicalities. He asked that an order be made by the court re. manding the prisoner to the custody of Chief Lees. Judge Seawell sald such an order might entangle the case, for if it were entered on the record it might make it appear that the writ of habeas corpus had been denied and a writ of extradition granted. Both counsel and court were at a loss how to proceed, but Judge Cook, without making any order that might appear on the record, and refusing to make any final order in the matter of the habeas corpus, and with the consent of both sides, continued the case until Saturday, instructing the prosecution to take such action in the meantime as it saw fit— either to lay the matter before the Grand Jury or to proceed on information and take the matter into the Police Court. Chief Lees and the District Attorney were anything but pfeased at the out- come, and the Chief, after court ad- Journed, declared the case would never go before the Police Court if he could prevent it. He sald the evidence would probably be presented to the Grand Jury at its next session. Attorney Knight stated that he would place no obstacles in the way of the Ernsecullon bringing the matter to trial ere, but was satisfled to let the prose- cution proceed either before the Jury or the Police Court. MRS. BOTKIN IS BOSS She Enjoys All the Comforts of Home in the City Prison. Mrs. Botkin seems to be enjoying all the comforts of home in the City Prison. She is confined in the matron’s room, and refuses to associate with the other women who are temporarily confined there.

Emmett Gray Lost His Life vy Rea- son of Defective Gas Fix- | tures. Emmett Gray. lumber inspector for Grace ‘& Co., was found dead in his bed | yesterday morning at his residence, 271§ | California street. He had been asphyx- jated by illuminating gas flowing from a loose stopcock on the kas fixtures. It was so loose it could be turned completely around in a circle. Mr. Gray returned from a business tfldp Fort Bragg last Sunday afternoon an ::zfiust‘irl}fg'rh» servant found him dead and cold at half-past 7 in the morning, when he called him for his breakfast. Prior to his employment by Grace & Co. Mr. Gray had for twenty-six years been tide observer at Sausalito for the Govern- ment as a member of the Coast Geodetic Survey s his widow the deceased left two daughters, 16 and 12 years old. He was a native of Mississippi, 65 vears old. A SERIES OF FIGHTS THAT WERE FAILURES THE FIRST SHOW OF THE BOHE- MIAN CLUB A FIZZLE. Jack McMahon Was Pushed Down and Out by Eugene Mulligan in the Second Round. Of the many “scrub” fights managed by so-called boxing clubs in this city, the en- tertainment held last evening in B. B. Hall, 121 Eddy street, under the auspices of the “Bohemian” Athletic Club, was | about as bad as any lover of sport could imagine. Jack O'Kane and Charles Vickers fought x rounds, but in the middle of the sixth the police took a hand in the game and stopped the show. It was a slegging match pure and simple and Sergeant Mar- tin called it a draw, but the contestants were not satisfied with the sergeant’s judgment and asked Referee Billy Otts to decide the contest. Otts said “‘draw,” but after he had had a talk with O'Kane's seconds he declared the match in favor of O'Kane, much to the chagrin of the friends of Vickers. Charley Johnson and Billy Otts were booked to fight six rounds, but "the phy- siclan,” who, it was stated, had examined the men, sald Otts was not in condition to box and the match was therefore de- | clared off. “Kid” Wiley and Joe Howard boxed three rounds. | “The event of the evening had all the ap- pearance of a prearranged affair. It was to have been an eight-round bout between | Bugene Mulligan and Jack McMahon, but | the last-named fighter was pushed down four times and the last time down he re- mained on zll fours for ten seconds, but after the referee had counted the ninth | second one of McMahon's seconds threw | up a sponge, which signified defeat for his | man. McMahon made some pretense at | being angry and said he was cheated out | of the contest. He certainly lost the contest by falling repeatedly without hav- ing received a blow and the referee had the authority to give the flght against so desired on these grounds. aris mutuels there was a heavy ulligan winning the contest In to three rounds and scarcely was wagered from three to , proving conclusively that some- “‘doing” by those who had the combination. —_—— | Charged With Abduction. A warrant was sworn out in Judge Con- lan's court yesterday for the arrest of | Frank Nesbitt, a young man not unknown | to the police, on a charge of abduction. During the Natlve Sons’ celebration at San Jose he met Susie Hilton, a girl 16 years of age, and represented to her arents that he had procured a situation or her. He brought her to this city and has since been living with her in a house on Fourth street.

The Gem Taken by a Boy Who Was Supposed to Be in Collusion ‘With the Chief Con- spirator. The police are investigating a pecullar diamond robbery committed yesterday afternoon in Julius Van Vliet's jewelry ore at 752 Market street. Shortly after noon a Wi visited the store and diamond studs. A tray ber of precious gems was placed be- fore him, and after selecting the most valuable of the lot he promised to return and pay for it. The clerk wrapped up the diamond and placed it on the counter, expecting that the stranger would return in a few moments. A short time afterward a poorly clad boy entered the store and pretended to be looking at some watches which were in the show case. He remained only a few seconds and then left. The clerk, whose attention was dis- tracted for a moment, went to get the stud and to his surprise he found it was gone. He immediately rushed into the street, expecting to find the boy, but he was not to be found. The supposition is that the prospective buyer of the diamond em- ployed the ragged urchin to steal the containing a num- | stud. Immediately after the loss of the dia- mond was discovered the proprietor of the store telephoned to police headquarters for a detective. Captain Bohen sert two of his men to make an investigation, but up to a late hour last night they had not succeeded in finding the boy or the dia- mond. While the detectives were searching for the theif who stole the stud, a well- dressed, middle-aged woman visited the office of the Chief of Police and com- lained that she had been robbed of a g(amond ring which she values at $200. Her name is Mrs. Dietel, and she lives at 1223 Geary street. Yesterday afternoon a man visited her house on the pretext that he was anx- ious to see her husband. While speak- ing to him she foolishly informed him that she kept her dlamond in a vase which was on the mantel shelf. At that moment a peddler rang the door bell and Mrs. Deitel temporarily left the stranger. During her absence he stole her diamond ring, which was in the vase, and at once left the house. Some time afterward a friend of Mrs. Deitel informed her that the thief had sold the ring for $20 to a pawnbroker on Grant avenue. She visited the place, but the proprietor denied that he had bought it ?l‘n-day Mrs. Deitel intends to pro- cure a search warrant for the recovery of her ring. A description of the thief has been furnished the police, and every effort will be made to run him down. A Match for Lavigne. Kid Lavigne, the world's famous light- welght, who has been' matched to fight Tom Tracy before the National Athletic Club some time next month, arrived in town yesterday morning. Messrs. Groom and Gibb, the fight promoters, were look- ing for him all day, but were unable to find him, and 1t is thought that some other club has been tr{ ng to get the match, but the National considers it a sure thing. { 1 “out fully its position. Spain. E. S. Pillsbury, attorney for the company, notifled George D. Squires, at- torney for Costley, the plaintiff in the case of Costley vs. The Wells-Fargo Express Company, to send a bill of costs, damages and judgment, and when this was done it was accepted and Mr. Squires was told that a check for the B amount would be sent to him this morning. This virtually ends the contention of the company that the stamps called B for by the war tax are to be furnished by the senders of packages and now the corporation will pay its share of the burden. B of the Superior Court was final and as there is no appeal from this court in cases from Justices’ courts the company had no alternative but to pay. | B While the company may make a biuff that this case will not be taken as a precedent for future action, It is not probable that it will risk another sult B @2nd those who have packages to send may offer them without the assurance that they will reach their destination.

SEEN FROM THE BAY CITY WELLINGTON AND JENNIE THELIN IN COLLISION. Eva Hess, the Girl Who Ran Away From Home Some Weeks Ago, Returned Yesterday on the Walla Walla. The crew of the ecrulser Philadelphia and the passengers on the 10:30 a. m. trip of the ferry steamer Bay City wit- nessed a grewsome sight yesterday. The remains of a woman floated past the war- ship and the ferry-boat had to be stopped in order to prevent running over it. The body floated face upward, butthe feat- ures were not recognizable, as the wo- man'’s hair had broken loose from its fast- enings and it was only occasionally, when the wash of the waves removed the halr, that the face could be seen. The body was well clothed and did not seem to have been long in the bay. The men on the Philadelphia were the first to see the corpse. They asked per- mission to lower a boat and tow it to the Folsom-street slip, but the officer of the deck would not give his consent. It would not have taken fifteen minutes to secure the remains and clear up the mys- tery, but discipline had to be maintained. The Bay City was on her way to Oak- land, and being a little behind time on ac- count of the fog, Captain Leale was very anxious to make a quick passage. When he saw the body it was considerably to the north of the Philadelphia, and_ right in the track of his vessel. In order to avoid running over it he had to slow down his vessel and change her course. Directly the Bay City got back to this side Captain Leale went to John Carter and George Engels, the boatmen at Clay street, and told them about where the body should be. They got out their whitehalls and made a thorough search of | the bay from off Clay street to Alcatraz | and Angel Island. They\informed Captain | Stofen of the Government steamer Me- Dowell and he kept a bright lookout for the remains on his trip to Lime Point, but the body was not seen again. It may have been carried out to sea, and again it may be stranded somewhere on the Marin shore. It may have been the remains of Mrs. Miller, who is supposed to have jumped overboard from the steamer Pledmont last Saturday night, and again it may have been some woman whose disappearance has not yet been recorded. The fog came in as a surprise yester- day mornlng. It had been thick enough to cut outside all night, and early in the morning a big plece seemed to break off and make for the bay. For a time noth- ing could be seen, and the red stack tugs could not find the ship Galena, which was at anchor in Richardsons Bay. The men on the steamer could hear the men on the ship calling to them, but could not locate the sound, and had to come back to San Francisco without their tow. The fog disappeared almost as quickly as it came up. Like a great ball it rolled along the front and finally disappeared over Baden. The colller Wellington -was delayed out- side by fog and when she did get in near- 1y sank the schooner Jennie Thelin while Gooking. The Thelin was anchored right in the fairway, so no bilame can attach to the captain of the Wellington. The collfer struck the schooner a glancing blow_and started a few planks. TLater the Thelin 5et‘ sail and got out of her dangerous position. ?T. %‘ Dongvan. a brother-in-law of Chief of Detectives Bohen, has been appointed 2 special policeman ‘on the water front by the Harbor Commissioners.

Although the ladies in charge of the various booths at the Holy Cross fair at Native Sons’ Hall are exerting every ef- ing the object in view of benefiting the parish by raising sufficient funds to pay not mce ting with the success which is due hem. Notwithstanding the fact that this bazaar is probably one of the best, i% not the best, of the many now in progress, it seems to have been overlooked by those who have visited and evidently enjoyed some of the poorest. Froun an artistic point of view it is per- fect, and from that point of view which has for its object a good compensation for the money expended, it is unequaled. The current impression that to go to a church fair is equivalent to going to some gambling house, with less prospect of get- ting a fair return for money expended, is a thing of the past, and is, as_Fatner Yorke says, “the philosophy of the man who stands on the opposite side of the street and watches the crowds of people as they pass through the entrance to be entertained and not ‘fleeced.’ ** An exemplification of the truth Father Yorke's remark, which s being shown the public at the Holy Cross falr, is meeting with approval and a lib eral’ support. The old method of attempt don't want is entirely forsaken, being supplanted by a system which gives like for like and an enjoyable entertainment besides.
