Mrs. Place, the head of the manual training depart- | ment, refused to graduate Miller, alleging that ‘he did not possess the necessary qualifications to become a successful teacher, and he preferred charges against her. A hearing exonerated Mrs. Place. and the trustees barred Miller from the school. At that time he applied to the court to compel Professor McNaughton, who was then principal of the school, to | give him a diploma, but lost his case. In the petition filed to-day Miller states that on September 4 las the school term, he applied for admission to the schoool and was refused the same. He deciares that he is not a person of | flithy or vicious habits and is eligible t. membership in the school. When he en- tered the school he signed an agreement | that he intended to fit himself for a | teacher, and that he was dismissed with- | out any cause whatever. An alternative | writ_is asked directing Professor Dalley | to admit him to the school and that he be permitted to continue his studies. Miller, who is 40 years of age, has at- tended nearly every normal school in the State. At each one he has had troubie. He had been a student at the school here for three years.

Special Dispatch to The Call. COLUSA, Nov. 17.—The jury in the case of Jesse Sutton, accused of the murder of | John Clasby, to-night brought in a ver: dict of gullty of manslaughter. Arguments for the defense were made by Attorneys Weyand and De Long this morning. Mr. Weyand thoroughly re- viewed the case and was followed by his associate, De Long, who held the atten- tion of the jury for fully an hour. Mr. de Long dwelt at length upon th honor of a home and the right of a hus- band to protect his wife and family from a future of disgrace and shame. In Tharrying & woman a man registers a vow to love, honor and protect her and it was in the fulfillment of that obligation that the defendant shot and killed John Clasby. Jesse Sutton, said the attorney, was a poor man and was compelled to work for other people and it was while he was away he was robbed of his wife's affections and a stigma placed on the name of his little children. He asked the jury to stop and think what they would have done under like circum- stances; what would have been the effect upon their minds if told by one of their children of the actions of a man like John Clasby. After the noon recess Attorney Edwin Swineford closed the case for the ple in a masterly address. Judge Albe read his instructions to the jury, whicl retired at 4:25 p. m. and at 8:40 p. m. ren- dered the verdict of manslaughter. g STRENGTHENING FORTS ON PUGET SOUND Six Strategic Points to Be Manned and Equipped With Guns of Large Caliber.
