THE SAN FRANGISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, JESSIE MORRISON IS CONVICTED OF SECOND-DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER Jury Compromises on a Verdict in the Second Telal of the Young Woman Who Killed Her Rival With a Razor. . — the jury falled to agree on a verdict, and io?ln after Miss Morrison was released on ail. Miss Morrison is the daughter of a not- ed Kansas jurist, and Judge Morrison and his friends wielded great influence in the battle to save the life of the defendant. That their influence had weight is shown by the verdict. +Jessle Morrison and Olin Castle worked in the same store, and became betrothed. When the engagement was broken Miss Morrison did all in her power to prevent Castle’s marriage to her rival. 'Several months after Castle's marriage she visit- ed Mrs. Castle, and a flerce quarrel fol- lowed. During a hand-to-hand encounter Miss Morrison cut Mrs. Castle’s throat with a razor. Since the death of Mrs. Castle Miss Morrison has claimed that she acted in self-defense. MIsS JESRIE" -~ MCOCRRIJOR o Kans., June 27.—Jes- found guilty of the second degree L DORADO Castle.

Reliable informa- tion shows that the sum . of 111,000,000 marks, which forms the bulk of the as- sets, {ncludes §7,000.000 marks loaned to the Cassel Trebor-Trocknung Company, of which only a small part can be realized upon. Theé Tageblatt to-day says the Leipziger Bank quite recently ~advanced another Cassel Trebor- Trocknung Company, after it was known that the latter was insolvent. Representatives of the leading banks of Berlin say there IS no doubt that all the stock of the Leipziger Bank and its re- serve, amounting to 63,000,000 marks, are lost. The Dresden and Leipzig Bourse re- fuses to handle the Leipziger Bank stock. The policy of the Leipziger Bank’s board of directors has for years been such as te lead to the belief that other arrests on the charge of culpable negligence will fol- low the taking Into custody of Herr Ex- ner. The members of the board of direc- tors include some of Leipzig's swealthiest citizens. The Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden morn- {ing papers express the highest indigna- tion at the conduct of the Leipziger Bank directors and demand a searching investi- gation. The Vossische Zeitung editorially | says: g ¥ view of the whole series of recent | fatlures it is evident that the present Ger- 1 man system of boards of directors or trus- | | tees urgently requires reforming or abol- | ishing, the latter preferred.” B0 PPER CALSES DAV TOUSPEND Continued From Page One. CHARGES PUBLIC OFFICIALS PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—What promises to be a flerce local political war was begun at the Academy of Music to- night, when 5000 citizens in town meeting named District Attorney P. F. Rothermell Jr. to be a candidate for the office of Dis- trict Attorney, against the candidacy of John Weaver, who was nominated for that office last week by the Repubilcan organization of this elty. The speakers of the evening severely arraigned the present city administration and the State officials. A telegram from Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith was read and was enthusiastically cheered. It was as fol- lows: “You can use my name as a vice presi- dent. It is time for a new declaration of independence. Philadelphia ought to rise in her might against jobbers in her pub- lic rights and the ravishing of her sacred safeguards of law."” The principal speech of the evening was that of Colonel A. K. McCiure, the retired editor of the Philadelphia Times. Mr. TWO OFFICIALS LEAVE PRUNE MEN’S COMBINE President Bond and Vice Presideat Meek Tender Resignations to the Association. Bond and Vice President H. W. Meek of the California Cured Fruit Assdciation tendered their resignations as officlals of the prune men’s combine at a meeting of the directors this morning. This comes as a surprise to the growers, although Judge Bond declares he has contemplated the step for some time on account of {ll health, and only waited until he saw the association in good working order. As soon as this was acted upon Vice Presi- dent Meek tendered his resignation, which he said was from a pressure of private business. Meek will still retain the posi- tion of director. L. F. Graham, a member of the board, was elected vice president, and he will act as president until Judge Bonds suc- cessor is elected. L e O 2 e e o SAN JOSE, June 27.—President H. G McClure did not mince words, and his ar- raignment of the whole Republican or- ganization, both city and State, was ex- tremely severe. District Attorney Roth- ermell, he sald, was nominated by the Repubiican organization three years ago | and elected. Now this same organization, controlled by the same men, refuse him another term. They have named a man, he continued, who_is untried and an ua- known quantity. Mr. Rothermell sent to prison ballot box thieves, the masters of whom are_the political leaders of the city to-day. He had also made it so uncom- fortable for others of the same stripe that they were living in distant lands and can- not come home until Rothermell is out of office. That was the reason, he said, why Mr. Rothermell was not named. Colonel McClure then told of Mr. Weav- er's unknown quantities and said: | “Mr. Weaver has been nominated by these men because they have been either assured or resonably belleve that he will prosecute or not prosecute crime as their interests might demand. The issue has been tntenslged by the most bewildering public robbery ever witnessed in the State, and the men most interested are Mayor _ Ashbridge, Insurance Commis- sioner Durham, Contractor McNichol and MARYSVILLE RECEIVES VISITING CONGRESSMEN Members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee See Site of Proposed Dam. MARYSVILLE, June 27.—The members of the Congressional Rivers and Harbors Committee, who arrived here last evening, were taken in carriages to-day by the cit- izens to Smartsville, on the Yuba River, | and back as far as Deguerre Point, the | | site of the proposed Government dam and | barriers. At Deguerre Point a banquet | | was served beneath oak trees. The ladies | of the party were entertained by ladies | | of the city. There were carriage drives | about the town and county and a banquet | at the residence of N. D. Rideout.

They are committing public robbery by criminal conspiracy. Colonel McClure told how the street railway bills were rushed through the Legislature and how the Governor had signed them at a ‘“‘convenient hour so that the gang's representatives could be first tlit the door the next morning to get char- ers. He closed by saying the battle was not one of party, but one of self-preservation and against organized crime, a corrupt ballot, a looting of the public treasury. Former District Attorney G. D. Gra- bam, who served eighteen years in that office, followed McClure. "He strongly urged the citizens to stand united, and he felt confident that the “patient and suf- fering public will rise and annihilate the robber crew and give back to the peopie the civil government.” The resolutions adopted by the meeting ay a tribute to Mr. Rothermell for his delity and integrity and formally nom- inate him as a candidate for District At-_ torney to succeed himself. \ The resolution also instructs the chair- man of the meeting to appoint a commit- tee to ‘“conduct the contest and confer with all organized friends of reform in completing an independent ticket.” MYSTERY SURROUNDS SANTA ROSA PRISONER Jesse Reed Arrested in This City and Sheriff Will Not Discuss the Case. SANTA ROSA, June 27.—Jesse Reed was arrested to-day in San Frarncisco by Sher- iff Frank P. Grace on a wararnt sworn to In Justice Brown’s court charging him with burglary. It is reported that this hold him until Sherift Grace gets further information of a mur- der committed somewhere in the East. The_ Sheriff will not talk about the ca: further than to say he arrested the man on a warrant. He admits that Reed came | from the East recently. About three Months ago the safa in the Sotoyome House in Healdsburg was opened and money was taken from if, It is thought by some that this caused Reed's arrest. It is rumored to-night that a reward of $1600 is offered for the man’s capture.

The court declared that the property | captured on the land by the naval force | operating from the sea is not a lawful prize. This peint has never been passed upon by the Supreme Court, and an ap- peal may be taken. On this point Judge Bradley says: I am of the opinlon that the property cap- tured on the land was not intended to be made a maritime prize, and that it is gxcluded by the terms of the act from which the right s sought to be derived, and that the libellant is not entitled to an adjudication In prize of the appraised value of such property appropriated by the United States. This renders unnecessary the consideration of the effect of the treaty with Spain upon the rights of the libellant. The next question is whether the libellant is entitled to the condemnation in prize of the value of the property taken from the vessels sunk or otherwise destroved. It is objected that fnasmuch as the libellant has received bounty for the destruction of these vessels he is not entitled as prize for the property taken from them: that bounty s a substitute for the prize itself, something given “in lleu of it.”” Bounty is not an equivalent for prize. There is, therefore, mno reason, arising out of the amount pald as bounty that would justify the claim that in fairness such reward should be exclusive. 1 find nothing to prohibit the con- demnation in prize of the property captured or_taken from the ships sunk or destroyed, in addition to the bounty paid for the destruction of the ship, and I am of.the opjnion that it should be allowed. WASHINGTON GOSSIP CONNECTS THEIR NAMES Society Awaits Announcement of En- gagement of Miss Helen Hay and Payne Whitney. NEW YORK, June 27.—For some time past there have been rumors in Washing- ton and New York society that the en- gagement would be announced before long of Miss Helen Hay, daughter of John Hay, Secretary of State, and Payne Whitney, son of Willlam C. Whitney. Among the friends of both families the rumor has n one of pleasant and kind- 1y gossip, both of the young people being very ‘)opular here and at the national capital. The connection of their names in this way has been made with only the pleasantest words of that /satisfaction which soclety gives to a current report that meets with its hearty approval, as being a match that seems to be a most excellent one.

That upon the urgent application of the board, he and his as- soclate, Edwin H. Gould, had furnished finan- clal assistance upon adequate securities and upon the assurance that the obligations of Mar- quand & Co. would be made good by this morning. That the firm named had, however, faled to fulfill expectations and while he and Mr. Gould and some of the directors were will- ing to furnish further financial aid, it was not deemed by them as just either to the deposi- tors, stockholders or the public to invite de- posits and credits until the affairs of the bank were again placed upon an absolutely safe ba- sis. That for this purpose reasonable time was necessary, and to prevent unfgir preference or advantages, the board determined, with the ad- vice of counsel, to suspend operations for the present. During the afternoon an informal meet- { ing_of directors of important banks was held at a downtown club and the suspen- sion of the Seventh National and its tions with other financial institutions was thoroughly discussed. A tacit understand- ing that all interests should be protected was arrived at. Government Is Secured. WASHINGTON, June 27.—Postmaster Van Cott of New York has been instruct- ed to deposit the money order funds for the present in the sub-treasury at New York and a new depository to take the place of the suspended bank will be deter- mined on by the Postmaster General in a few days. The postmaster Is not per- mitted to ¥t the money order balance in the bank exceed $300.00, and in compli. ance with the requireméuts he forwarded to the Treasury last Tuesday $110,000 ex- cess.
