CASE DISMISSED IN COURT AMY MURPHY'S TRAGIC DEATH WILL GO UNAVENGED. —e The final scene in the tragedy of pretty Amy death was enacted in Judge court yesterday morning, when Horace L. Poulin, the man who was elf-destruc- as the law morally responsible for her tion, was given his liberty, was powerless to punish him. The courtroom was spectators were a number of young girls, attracted by morbld curiosity. They raned their necks to get a glimpse of Poulin, and when he they followed bim along the City Hall corridor and out into the street. *. Dart, the dead girl's mother, the scene prepared to swoar to a complaint against Poulin, but after | consultation with District Attorney By- ington the conclusion reached that there 1othing in the Penal Code un- der which Poulin could be charged. Mrs, Dart was considerably chagrined and did not wait to hear the proceedings in court. Before leaving she was given the articles belonging to Amy found by the police in Poulin’s room. When the case was Pierce of Los Angeles Poulin, asked if any complaint had been filed. Prosecuting Attorney Harris replied in the negative. Poulin had been standing in the rear of the urtroom and was or- dered _to step forward. » vas the cynosure of all eyes. Pierce then rase be stricken from the bail of $1000 exonerated. k Pecry said that however desirable from a moral standpoint it might be necessary to punish the defendant, the was no law to cover the case and he had refused to issue a complaint. Judge Mogan said he had to rely upon the judgment of the warrant clerk, and as there was no evidence before him and no complaint there was only one course left to him—to order the case strick=n from the calendar and the bail exonerated. Poulin left the courtroom with his attor- ney, followed by a crowd of young men women, and the curtain was rung down on the final act of the tragedy of misgulded Amy Murphy. NOTORIOUS CROOKS SEVERELY PUNISHED THREE THIEVES ARE GIVEN LONG TERMS. called ex-Judge Piggott’s Case Will Soon Be Settled. Criminals Sent to Prison for Various Offenses. Three notorious crooks were put away for some time to come by Judge Cook yes- terday. Fred Smith, who has served many years of his life behind prison.bars, was up for sentence after being convicted on a charge of robbery. He took a gold watch and chain and $4 from Henry Davis, and foolishly demanded a trial, @uring which it developed that several prior convictions stood against his name. The court said that as it was evident that the prisoner was an habitual criminal he gave him the limit—twenty years in Fol- som_ Prison. Edward Wilson and Martin Lyman were convicted of burglary for hav- ing entered the store of M. Mossford 5% Twenty-fourth street. When arrested both men were heavily armed, and in, view of the theory that they were prepared if essary to commit murder the court or- red them confined in San Quentin for a term of fifteen years. Willlam Avery, convicted for the second time on a charge larceny, was sent to San Quentin John Piggott, who sought to escape pun- ishment for his many crimes on the ground that he had been legally an {nmate of a State insane asylum and had never been restored to capacity, appeared before the same court. A certificate of discharge was produced, showing that the prisoner had been restored to capacity, and George D. Collins, who represents the prisoner, was forced to surrender. Judge Cook wili hand down his decision on Monday. Henry Burke, convicted of grand lar ceny, was sentenced to a term of three vears in San Quentin. Samuel Anderson, convicted of an as- sault for having threatened Martin John- son with a pistol, was fined $100. —_———— GOOD-THING VUCOVICH. Came From Stockton to Give a Bunko Man Eighty Dollars for a Piece of Waste Paper. An unknown bunko steerer found a good thing from Stockton yesterday morning in the person of Lazar Vucovich, a new and very raw arrival from the Slough City. Vucovich was standing in front of an employment office on Sutter street waiting for work when the steerer approached and asked him whether he was looking for work. Upon Vucovich replying in the affirmative the steerer informed him that he had a situation for him as porter in a wholesale liquor establishment at $2 per day. The steerer took the guileless Stock- tonian to the Montgomery block, on Mont- gomery street, between Merchant and Washington streets, and while they were standing in the hallway of the hul?:ilng a confederate of the steerer approached and asked for the loan of $10. The bunko man was willing to oblige his friend and re- gretted that he did not have that much ready cash on his person at that moment, but he had a check for $i75, payable to Roach & Co., and asked Vucovich whether he would oblige by letting him have the money on the check and he would be re- paid as soon as they could get the check cashed. Vucovich was willing to oblige the good stranger who was to get him a good job at 32 per day, and opened his | purse, displaying $80 in gold. The steerer took the gold, handed Vucovich the check and went up stajrs. That was the last the Stocktonian saw of him. The check was addressed to no- body, and Vucovich has not succeeded in getting anybody to buy it from him at any price. — —e—————— Dr. Parker's Cough Cure. One dose will stop & cough. Never falls.

Captain Thompson of the park police, by prompt and heroic action, saved the lives of John Baker, manager of the Union Oil Works, his wife and little child yesterday afternoon. Baker was driving through the park when his horse became fractious am? ran away. The animal dashed along the main driveway at break- neck speed, and ThomFson, mounting his horse, started after it. The use of a lariat’ brought the animal to a standstill near the Cyclers’ Rest. Baker thanked the captain for his ac- tion and resumed his journey, but again his horse became unmanageable and Thompson was obliged to stop it for a second time near the conservatory.

Through the courtesy of the medical department on this coast it 1= possible to make public the last official report made by General Law- ton before his death. The report is a tale of bravery couched in the unen- thusiastic matter-of-fact language em- ployed in official communications, and contains a recommendation for the promotion of an officer whose gal- lantry was such as to win personal commendation from the brave com- mander, whose taking off has plunged a whole nation into mourning. Inasmuch as the officer in question is one of those who volunteered from this city at the outbreak of the war with Spain, the compliment paid him by General Lawton may be taken as a compliment to the city that sent him forth, and the many friends of Dr. Ernest K. Johnstone wiil read with pride of the record which is con- tained in the following simple docu- ment: E. K. Johnstone, acting assi Kenly’s battery.

It is recommended that this gallant young surgeon be commissioned either major and brigade surgeon or major and surgeon of volunteers. Very respectfully, Major General Commanding First Division, U. S. Volunteers. This was the last official document ever dictated by the gallant general, who was killed a few hours later while at the head of his men. DR. E. K. JOHNSTONE, Manila, P. L, December 18, 1899. “nrst aid” to the H. W. LAWTON, O R R S g R L R O O a1 KINDLING A COAL-PASSER. Thrilling Incident on Board Trans- port Meade on the High Seas. A fireman on the United States trans- port Meade called yesterday at the office of the United States Attorney and asked to have a warrant issued for the arrest of Second Assistant Engineer Murphy on a charge of assault on the high seas. His story was that on the return vovage to this, port the first engineer had announced his intention of resigning, and the second, third and fourth assistant engineers were ambitious to obtain the vacant place. To this end they bent all their efforts to in- crease the speed of the transport, each wishing to make the best record on his watch. To this end they made things lively for the firemen, coal-passers and all others concerned with the duty of keeping up steam. The visitor went on to say that Murphy went down into the engine-room one day and seizing coal-passer Charles McHugh by the throat rammed the muz zle of a revolver into his mouth and eral inches down his throat, and swore in veritable sea phrase that he would blow the top of his head through the lee scup- pers if he didn't get more of a move on and fire up at a livelier rate. McHugh is in the Marine Hospital un- der treatment for cancer of the stomach, and Assistant United States_ Attorney Banning deferred action until Monday in order that he might have an opportunity of investigating the matter. —_——— Trapper's Ofl cures rheumatism' & neuralzia.

Brooks, an Englishman, was ar- rested yesterday at Third and Howard streets while .spinning around on the crown of his head like a top. He was sent to the insane ward of the Receiving Hospital. Last Thursday Brooks ap- peared before Judge Fritz on a charge of vagrancy. He told the Judge that he had been a clerk in the Bank of England, where his father had served for fogty- two years. He lost his position and came to this country and soon became a slave to cocaine. The Judge allowed him to go, as he said his friends would send him back to England. He will probably be committed to an asylum.
