DREADS GOING TO ASYLUM Courtrey Refuses to Talk to the San Joaquin Officers. - STOCKTON, Jan. 30—Constable Gei- zicke of Tracy this evening brought to the County Jail a man who is believed by that officer to be John Courtney, alias “Leadville Jimmy,” a member of the gang implicated in the murder of Police- man Robinson. Geizicke states that this he received a telegram from police headquarters in San Francisco sta- ing that “'Leadvilie Jimmy”’ was supposed to be in Tracy. He began a search and soon espied a man in a Traty saloon an- swering the description given him. He at once approached the fellow and grasping him by one arm, the hand of which, sus- picipusly enough, was in his pocket, said: *Hello, Courtney.” ‘How did you know my name?” asked the fellow. The pect is of about 110 pounds weight, with his Tight eye out, and ap- parently partly paralyzed on the right side. He wore no beard and is rather light complexioned. Geizicke took the man out and at onee commenced to in- terrogate him. He had evidently been drinking. He' stated that he had left Napa the first of the week and gone to Vallejo. From there he started up this but was “‘switched out” all one night at a station and came near freezing to death. “I'll have to take you to Stockton,” said the Constable. “Don’t take me to the asylum,” sald Courtney, in apparent alarm. e was then asked if he had been in San Francisco recently, and he shut up Kke & clam. “I have talked to officers before and it always caused me. trouble,” he said. The man had evidently been drinking heavily and at the jail to-night was in a stupor. He retired to the far end of his cell and would pay no attention to ques- tions. Sheriff Sibley is inclined 1o be skep- tical zbout Courtney’s connection with the case in which his name has been men- tioned and to-morrow an investigation will be made as to his statement that he was in the asylum for a while and was ~segularly discharged therefrom. There were no wounds on Courtney and his blind eye is not from a recent injury. On his arrival here he begged for another drink, but it was refused him.

Ata | meeting of the Justices late yesterday | | afternoon a*notice was issued to the bar acquainting the attorneys of Windrow's appointment as clerk and ordering that all filings must be made with him. The | notice further stated that all processes, ! writs and orders must bear his signature | as clerk in order to meet with the recog- nition of the Justices. | | Believing that this notice would bring | the business of the office to him, Windrow | | made arrangements to open his office at | | the legal hour of 8 o'clock this morning. | He appointed as his clerks George Mc- | Comb and Robert W. Dennis, both hav- | | ing served for years under Willlams. The | question of quarters was the next con- sideration. The Justices solved this mat- ter by offering Windrow the use of Pre- | | siding Justice Daniels’ chambers until | | such time as the Sheriff might be able to | | provide permanent quarters under the or- ! | der of court. It was decided also to direct Sheriff Lackmann to equip the new office | | with all the papers and paraphernalia | necessary for the transaction of the busi- | ness of clerk of the Justices’ Court. { FREDRICK HOLDS RECORDS. | The inauguration of business by Win- | drow must necessarily result in confusion | |50 far as the business of the Justices’ | Court is concerned. The records of the | office are in charge of Fredrick, who re- | fuses to give them up under any circum- stances. Without these records, which | are indispensable, Windrow adrits his | operations will be perfunctory. He is act-"| ing under the advice of his attorneys and (says he is willing to take the conse- quences. He holds that his appointment | is legal and that the position assumed by | the Mayor has no footing at law. | "The Justices say they have the attor- | neys of the San Francisco bar on their | side and that all having business with the lower municipal court will aid Windrow’s fight by refusing to recognize or do busi- ness with the Mayor's appointee. It is well known that Sheriff Lackmann is not in sympathy with the administration and that he refuses to recognize Fredrick to | the extent of refusing attachments bear- |ing his signature. This attitude of the | Sheriff has in a meaSure paralyzed the | business of the Justices’ Courts and it is | needless to say that the latest develop- ments in the matter will not serve to dis- | pel the gloom of the situation. Mayor Schmitz said last night that he | would not recognize Windrow or approve | his bond. Resuming he said: { Sees Boss Dictation. ““When Williams resigned I immediately appointed Fredrick as his successor. I ap- | proved his official bond and he immediate- |1y qualified.

Despera“oes With a Record in Three States Fight Their Way to Freedom. Supplied With Weapons, the Prison- ers Dangerously ‘Wound Three Guards and Flee With Infatuated Woman. B (O Special Dispatch to The Call. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 30.—Two con- demned murderers, Edward and John Biddle, escaped from the County Jail here carly this morning. They overpowered three stalwart guards, all of whom were injured, one so severely that he may die. The murderers had the active assistance of the wife of the en in whose cus- tody they were. She watched the desper- ‘ate encounter and disappeared with the murderers. No more remarkable character has ever planned the successful escape from the shadow of the gallows. He has been a scourge of three States. The police of Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania know and dread him. He possesses a rare in- | fiuence over vomen. When he has need- ed an accomplice he has never failed to find a woman who would place herself at his command. ® In making the escape from the jail the Biddle brothers brought a sequence of murders to a logical conclusion, Crime follows them wherever they go. Detected in an attempt to rob the house of Thomas D. Kahney, a grocer of Mount Washing- | ton, they shot Kahney to death. They were found a few days later in their own home and captured after a fight that re- sulted in the death of one of the officers | and in the wounding. of others. Tried and convicted, they were respited through the intercession of women of respectability and social standing. Aided by the Warden’s Wife. It was Mrs. Kate Soffel, wife of War- den Peter Soffel, who was said to have made it possible for these two murderers to escape. They were supplied with saws | and other materials. Revolvers were placed in their hands, keys were placed where they could be found and clothing was left ready for their use. his is al- Biddle. “Jack’ Biddle was to have been hanged January 14 and his brother two days| later.

Biddles, who, after taking his keys, threw him over the gallery rail- ing to the stone floor, about fifteen feet below. McGarry struck on his head and shoulders and remained senseless where he fell. Attracted by the noise of the struggle between McGarry and the mur- derers, George Kosslow and, Charles Reynolds, guards, rushed into” the cell room. Edward Biddle grappled with Reynolds, while “Jack” gave his atten- tion to Kosslow. Reynolds was more than a match for his adversary; and Jack Biddle, seeing this, broke away ! from Kosslow and shot Reynolds through the right hip. “You have done for me,” cried Rey- nolds, sinking to the floor with blood gushing from a jagged wound. The Bid- dles then sprang upon Kosslow, who was soon overpowered and beaten into helplessness. Guards Locked in Dungeons. Using the keys that had been taken from McGarry, Edward Biddle opened two dungeons in the tier below those they had occupied and thrust McGarry, Rey- nolds and XKosslow into them. .The doors were swung and locked and the prisoners were then ready to take up the easier work of escape. While this en- counter was going on the other occupants of the prison went almost wild with ex- citement. They shook the doors of their cells and howled in.an apparent effort to attract the attention of other guards. But | in this they were unsuccessful. Mrs. Soffel followed Kosslow and Rey- nolds to the cell room and stood in the door watching the struggle between them and the murderers. She made no at- tempt to interfere, and after the keep- ers were locked in the cells she led the way to the general office of the prison. Edward and John Biddle found two suits of clothes. They discarded their prison attire, and when they left the Jail they wore the ordinary clothing of pri- rate citizens, including overcoats, which elonged to Warden Soffel.

If it is demonstrated that a bond must be filed and if the Mayor insists in ignoring ‘Windrow's appointment the litigation is likely to open with an application by Win- drow for a writ of mandate to compel the Mayor to approve the bond. Business Is Hampered. In any event until the dispute has been adjudicated in court the complex na- ture of the situation will seriously hamper the transaction of the ordinary business of the Justices' Court. With two clerks | inviting the business of the public and each with an office independent of the other and operated by separate staffs the situation is one which has not a parallel in municipal history. .

Jurist Offers to Settle Affairs Outside With Mr. Raker. ALTURAS, Jan. 30.—In his cross-exam- ination of Witness Carpenter in the Look- out lynching case this morning Judge Pcst, representing the Attorney General's office, secured an admission from the wit- ness to the effect that on May 27 Jim Brown, the defendant, went to him and said that he (Brown) had heard certain persons speak ‘of lynching the Halls, Dan Yantis and Martin Wilson, prisoners un- der guard at Myers' Hotel. Carpenter was Constable of Lookout Township and Jim Brown was employed by Carpenter to guard the prisoners. Carpenter stated that he paid no attention to the matter and that it did not interest him. The morning session was full of rows, and threats to send the counsel for the defense to jail for contempt were, fre- quently made by Judge Harrington. The court remarked to Lawyer Raker on ons occasion: It seems to me you are here just to make @ fuss. Ycur misconduct begins in the morn- ing and encs in the evening. Harris—We are not on the fight. The Court—You were last night. « Harris—You name the time and I will meet you. times before. The Court—You stop that. Hush up. Fred Kaspar, a character witness sub- penaed by the defense,’who was on the stand yesterday, was recalléd this morn- ing and was questioned as to the location of Jerve Kresge's farm. Post objected to the question and the court ruled it to be irrelevant. Sharp Words for Harris. Raker—Judge, you don't know what we want to prove. The Court—I know more about what is go- ing on in this case than you think I do. Harzis—Give us a chance for five minutes and we will tell you what we want to prove. The Court—I would not sit and listen to you gentlemen five minutes for $50. Harris—The other eide has no right to an audience with you, then. The Court—Harris, you have not gotten over your condition of last night vet. Harris (insinuatingly)—1 don't know what your condition_was. The Court—You say .that again and I will senc you to, fail for five days. General Post objected to many of the | questions put- by the defense and . the court ruled with him, which led Raker to remark: : It shows very plajnly justice cannot be had ere. The: Court—What's that? What's that? Do you mean that for contempt of cous ker—I mean that for counsel the prosécution. The Court—Raker, I have got to watch you like a cat watches' a mouse. You are con- tinually silpping in things for the benefit of the jury. .Raker asked the witness many ques- tions with a view of having him' state | that he saw Kresge in his field the morn- ing of May 27, and the witness replied he was not positive. Raker insisted on lace and You have sald that many for court accused him of trying to make the | witness tell a lie in face of his declara- tion that he was not certain that he saw Kresge on that morning. ® Raker Stirs a Storm. Carpenter was then placed on the stand and. was questioned regarding his ‘testi- mony before the Grand Jury. General Post tried to make’clear "that on_only one occasion did he mention Sam Parks the night of the lynching, and then oniy incidentally. Raker made his oft-repeated offer to | let the transcription of the testimony of witness before the Grand Jury be placed in evidence in this case. Each offer re- sulted in a row and the “obstreperous at- torney,” as the court designated Raker, was threatened with contempt of court for repeating the offer in face of the rul- ing of the court that the transeription could not be admitted. Post—Did Jim Brown ever make a proposi- tion to you to hang Dan Yantis and Frank Hall? No, sir. Post—DId you ever tell your brother Albert 1f such a proposition had been made you you would shoot the men who tried it? don’t remember that I sald that. Raker again objected to the question- ing of Post and the court cut him off, Raker—I take exception to the court ham- mering on the desk while I am trying to get in_an objection. The Court—I will hammer you out of this courtroom the first thing you know. Cal Raker objected, and the court said: “‘Cal Raker, your conduct is insolent and insulting, and the conduct of your brother is highly dishonorable and "dis- creditable. ““Why, your Honor,” said Raker, ‘“do you take advantage of your position on the bench to tell me I am dishonorable?” The Court—I will get off the bench. You came into court this morning to make a TOW. Peace in the Afternoon. The afternoon session was as smooth as a mill pond compared with the tempestu- ous scenes of the morning session. Gen- eral Post asked Carpenter what he as an officer of the law had done to discover the identity of the lynchers, and in the face of many objections secured the ad- mission that Carpenter had done noth- ng. ‘When the defense took up the redirect examination Raker commenced question- ing the witness regarding his_testimony before the Grand Jury and Post made vigorous objection. Post argued that the defense could not read from Carpenter's testimony before the Grand Jury any- thing that explained the answers given in that'testimony, but that the witness on the stand must explain the answers that appear in the testimony. Judge Har- rington ruled against the counsel for. the defense. Raker questioned Carpenter regarding the whereabouts of Sam Parks on the night of the lynching and secured a posi- tive answer that Parks was on the porch and at the bridge on that occasion and that Carpenter's failure to mention his ‘name as one who participated in the find- ing of the bodies at the bridge with the witness and Brown was.due to a poor memory. Before adjournment the Judge ad- dressed himself to the jury, saying that information had been conveved to him that certain persons had been talking | Knights’and their ladies were present and | Railroad. JCHLEY GUEST O HONOR AT - TENPLAR BALL Sir Knights ‘and Their Ladies Tender Him a Reception, His Appearance on Streets of Louisville Causes a Demonstration. Judge Advocate General Lemly and Solicitor Hanna Comment Upon the Appeal Submitted to the President. ——— LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 30.—Admiral Schley, as’ the guest of the Louisville Knights Templar, had little opportunity to rest to-day. From 10 o'clock.in the morning, when he visited the Girls’ High School, until he left the Templar ball at the Galt House at midnight, every mo= ment of his time was occupled. The great- er portion of the day was spent among children, and the admiral shook hands with about 1000 boys and girls, who ex- pressed their pleasure by cheering their visitor and presenting him with flowers. This afternoon the most enthusiastic demonstration of Admiral Schley’s visit took place while he was leaving the Pen- dennis Club in a carriage which was to take him to the Masonic Widows’' and Orphans’ Home. As he stepped into the vehicle it was surrounded by hundreds of cheering men, women and children, who had been gathering in the street for half an hour, and who pressed around him eager to shake his hand. The forward movement of the admiral's carriage and a platoon of mounted police who acted as a guard of honor finally got the ad- miral clear of the crowd. The day's programme for the enter- tainment of the admiral consisted of a visit to the Girls’ High School, followed by a breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jefferson, a trip to the to- bacco breaks, ailuncheon at the Penden- | nis Club, and in the afternoon a visit to the Masonic Home and * the Industrial School of Reform. Attends Knights Templars Ball. The chief event, however, was the Tem- plars’ reception and ball at the Galt House to-night,, - Several hundred uniformed the ballroom of the hotel was elaborately decorated with electrical designs of flags, anchors and Templars’ emblems, while potted plants and flowers and festoons of evergreen lent attractiveness to the scene.- Admiral and Mrs. Schley, the rormer in his Templar uniform, with' Grand Com- mander H. T. Jefferson of Kentucky, and Mrs. Jefferson, surrounded by a commit- tee of fifty-six Knights, occupied a posi- tion on a dais at one end of the room, in front of a great rear admiral's flag sur- mounted by a great American banner on ‘which Schley’s name was formed by elec- tric lights, while a-long line of Knights and their ladies passed by and shook hands with the admiral. Following the receptign was the ball, which was open- ed with a grand march led by Admi Schley and Mrs. Jefferson and Mr. Jef- ferson and Mrs. ‘Schley, to an gecom- paniment of martial airs. To-morrow morning Admiral and Mrs. Schley will take a much needed rest, and at 3 o’'clock in the afternoon will.leave for Nashville in the private car of President Smith of the Louisville and Nashville WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The ‘“com- ment” of Judge Advocate General Lemly and Solicitor Hanna upon the appeal of Admiral Schley, as submitted to the | President by Secretary Long, is less than a third as long as the appeal itself. The commentators begin with the statement that Admiral Schley and his counsel have shifted their ground. They say the chief features of the case were the “retrograde | movement,” “disobedience of orders,” | “Inaccurate and misleading official re- | ports,” “failure to destroy vessels of the enemy lying in sight,” and “injustice to a brother officer.” The commentators say: i Discuss Question of Command. Upon all the above-named features, believed | by us to be the most important, if not the | only really important, matters into which the | court made inquiry, "the conduct of Admiral | Schley was condemned by that most distin- guished tribunal. Admiral Dewey and Admirals Benham and Ramsey unite in their | findings and opinion upon ail these several | points and they unite also in the significant | Tecommendation that no further proceedings be | had “in view of the length of time which has elapsed since the occurrence of the events | of the battle of Santiago.” | The commentators say they recognize the fact that Admiral Schley devoted by far the larger part of his appeal to the question of command, and consequently gave that question a proportionate space in their comment. They declare that the question is between Sampson and Sckley. Both alike are interested, and to inves- tizate it fairly both should be heard. Such incidental testimony on this point | as came before the court was on Schley’'s side only, and the details were entirely closed to Sampson. The commentators next state: It Commodore Schley were in absolute com- mand during the battle, and if he had made any use of his authority, he must have ex- ercised some control over some of the vessels | participating. Wainwright of the no orders from the Indiana said he saw no signals from the Brook- Iyn; Evans of the Towa said of the Brookiyn, “I never saw any signal, from her. I did not maneuver in obedience to any signals from the Brooklyn'; the commanding officer of the Texas is dead, but the officer's testimony makes it clear that she received no orders. Speaking of this ship the commentators , declare: Deny That He Was in Command. | The questfon is not much one of possible credit to but of possible censure of Admiral | Schley in connection with the work of that vessel in the battle of Santiago. The plain truth s that Admiral Schley did not during the- battle in any way direct or control the , L Gloucester sald he saw kiyn; Taylor of the splendid performances of the Gloucester and the three battleships, Indiana, Towa and Texas, The officers in command of these ships neither received nor obeyed a solitary order from him. | The comment closes in the following words: { with the jury regarding the case.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 30.—The Chamber of Deputies here was the scene of a free fight to-day- between thie socialist and Catholic factions. The trouble grew out of a pro- posal to prosecute M. Smeets, a Socialist, for a recent revolutionary speech. The disorder began in the galleries, whi were eventuaily cleared by force. Thes after the uproar was continued on the floor. The Socialists advanced in a body inst the henches of the Catholics, shouting taunts and epfthets. The Depu- ties finally engaged in fisticuffs and the sitting was suspended.

FPhone South 95 about them, A4 The contention that the magnificent work of the m, or any part of it, was done | under orders from the Brooklyn, or that the Oregon received and obeyed even a single order from Commodore Schley from the time | the Spanish ships were sighted to the time | of the surrender of the Colon, which surrender | may fairly be taken as the close of the battle, | must be abandoned, -and with it goes the I-ni peg with which to hang the pretense of a | clalm that during the battle of Santiago Com- | modore Schley effectively exercised any of th functions of a ‘commander in chief. welght of the testimony is to the effect | that the commodore controlled the movements | of his flagehip, the Brooklyn, well, with the | exception of the loop. But it also shows, not | mnegatively, but affirmatively and beyond ques- | tion, that he did not control the operations of | the fleet in general on that day. | All this is established not by theoretical de. | Tt opinion, but | ductions or expert or inexpe by direct, positive, unimpeached and unim- peachable testimony, given under oath by the admiral’s brothers in arms. The plain truth of the matter, therefore, developed for the first time under the search- light of this Inquiry, although quite ineci- dentally, is that so far as the Gloucester, the Towa, the Indiana, the Texas and the Oregon are concerned, not the stroke of a propeller blade, nor the touch af a helm, not the firing of a shot, was done under the direction or by the orders of Admiral Schley during this memorable battie. p L ] Graduation at Normal School. “SAN JOSE, Jan. 30.—Graduating exer- cises were held at the.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Most F The nerves control and determine the health of. every function of the brain and body. More than nine-tenths of all diseases that are not infectious are known by every physician to be merely the local symptoms of a coming break-down of the nervous system. Ir one person the diseased condition of the nerves manifests itself In insomnia; in another by indigestion; in another by rheumatism; some organ of the human body becomes affected, and refuses to perform its proper work., ‘When these symptoms begin to show themselves medicine to-day knows but this one remedy, the famous discovery .of Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., whose wonderful achievement has spread the fame of one of this country’s greatest universities. No other remedy was ever universally prescribed by phy- | sicians. It was by the advice of the most eminent practitioners in the country that amous Remedy in the World, It Makes Peopie Well. this great remedy was first put within the reach of the public. Paine’s Celery Cempound is not in any way a patent medicine. It is so superior to'all the so- called remedies that no serious compari- son can be made between them. The formula of Paine’s Celery Com=- pound has been freely furnished from the first to reputable physicians anywhere, and the thousands of authenticated cases that are reported yearly by physicians of every school have proved beyond ques- tion that in every case of dyspepsia, bil- lousness, liver complaint, ‘neuralgia, rheu- matism or other diseases that imply ime paired nerves, Paine’s Celery Compound invarfably gives lasting relfef. It succeeds again and again in com- pletely curing diseases where everything else has failed. It is the only prepared remedy in the world that is openly and publicly indorsed by medical journals. A single trial of Paine’s Celery Compound will convince any one that it accom= plishes in every case all that it is claimed to do. < TEAROR REIGNS.

If he (Wynd- ham) would give the men of Connaught a month to prepare, O'Donnell said, he did not hesitate to declare that he would meet them, even at great numerical odds, and settle the land question for good.
