Brown for Threats to Kill and Battery. Mrs, Julia Brown, 1 Glen avenue, Se- cured a warrant from Police Judge Mo- Zan yesterday for the arrest of her hus- band, Henry Brown, a locksmith on Mission street, on the charges of battery mnd threats to kill. Mrs. Brown was ac- companied by her father, Christ Stader, who lives in the same locality. Mrs. Brown d she eleven months and almost from the first day they were married her husband had abused her. Her baby, she said, had died shortly after its birth because of mis- treatment by its father. Last Sunday she went out for a walk, taking the day's newspaper with her to read. returned he her, she savs. in getting Brown to desist. “As soon as father left,” Mrs. Brown continued, “my husband got a revolver and, pointing it at me, said he would blow my brains out. I ran screaming from the house and my father came and took the revolver from my husband. I am afraid he will kill me.” She was corroborated by her father, who said he eould not bear to see his dsughter abused any longer. Meeting of Fire Commissioners.

ATTENDING PEYSICIANS SAY TUITE WAS RATIONAL Doctors Ford and Artigues Testify That Old Miser Possessed His Senses. Dr. Campbell Ford and Joseph Artigues, who attended Patrick Tuite during his Jast illness, were the principal witnesses | in Judge Troutt's court yesterday, where | the will of Tuite is being contested. They | both ‘testified’ that in their opinion Tuite | was rational at the time the disputed will | They said that at 8:30 p. m., when they visited him for the last time, he answered their questions by nodding and moving one of his hands. This, in their opinion, said the doctors, was suffi- | cient evidence to prove that he was con- sclous and rational. Mrs. Lizzie Andrews, who shortly prior | to the death of the old man was employed as a servant by Mrs. Roncovieri, to whom he left his estate, testified that he told her a number of times that he was going | to leave his property to Mrs. Roncovieri. ———— The California Nursery Company Have an exhibit at the State Convention of Fruit Growers in Pioneer Hall consist- ing'of the following varieties of Phyl- loxera resisting American grapevines, viz: ° Aramon X Rupestris No. 2, Ber- landeri X Riparia No. 420 A, Champini, Hybride Franc, Riparia Gloire de Mont- pellier, Rupestris St. George and Solonis, Also the following named varieties of walnuts, viz.: Bijou, Franquette, Pa- risienne, Vourey and Praeparturien, Mar- ron Combale, Noir Hative, Marron de Lyon and American chestnuts.

A jury in the United States District Court yesterday afternoon, after four hours’ deliberation, returned a verdict finding John W. McGowan guilty of pass- ing a forged obligation of the Govern- ment, the same being the pay warrant of the late O. W. Briggs, crier of the United States District Court. The prison- er was ordered ta smroon{far @antance next Saturday TESTIFIES UNDER HYPNOTIG SPELL Startling Statement in Court by William Henderson. Claims That He Was Under Irfluence of Attorney Schooler. William Henderson startled every one in Judge Cook's courtroom yesterday aft- ernoon when he was called to testify for the prosecution in the case of William B. Kennedy, alias *“‘Yellow,” charged with { the murder of Policeman Eugene C. Rob- inson, by demanding an investigation as to whether he was laboring under the hypnotic influence of Attorney W. H. Schooler, who represents the defendant. The result was that Juage Cook appoint- ed Drs. Rethers, Lustig and Wadsworth to examine Henderson as to his mental condition and report to him this morning, when an objection madGe by Schooler as to the admission of Henderson's testi- mony will be passed upon. Drs. Rethers and McGettigan examined Henderson in the City Prison in the pres- ence of the Judge later in the day. After conversing with Henderson for nearly an hour the physicians decided to place him |in the detention ward of the Central Emergency Hospital for two or three days. He will be closely watched by the physicians and upon his actions will de- | pend their report. The case will be called | this morning, but will be continued till the doctors are ready to report. SAYS HE WAS HYPNOTIZED. When Henderson took the witness stand yesterday and was asked his name he | said: “I want to make a statement and | demand an investigation. All the testi- mony given by me at the Woods trial and the first Kauffman trial was given under the hypnotic influence. of Attorney Schooler. 1 am prepared to tell every- thing now when I feel that T am no longer under Schcoler's hypnotic influence. I was beaten up in jail by two men in citi- zen's clothes who were supposed to be members of the Police Department.” In reply to Schooler, Henderson said that he felt Schooler had hypnotized him ! to a certain extent by making him repeat | the story he had told the police, word for word, in the District Attorney’s office be- fore testifying at the Woods trial. That testimony was as to what had occurred in | front of the wood and coal yard at the time of the shooting. Henderson said he first felt Schooler's influence when Schooler was questioning him at the Kauffman trial. He thought Schooler must have been in court at the time he was testifying at the Woods trial. He | added that the testimony he was now pre- pared to give would be the whole truth, | as he was not under any one’s influence { at the present time. He was acting under | the advice of his attorney, Peter F. { Dunne. He claimed ,that when he made the statement to the police he had acted | under the advice of Attorney Mack. -He explained that he made the statement be- cause he did not know whether he would live, as he had been shot. He said | he made the statement at the hospital | while he was shackled to a cot with two pairs of handcuffs. Two policemen had | { i hospital. He claimed that he had been treated roughly when first arrested and {had been beaten on the head with the butt end of a revolver. RAMBLING STATEMENTS. When examined in the prison by Drs. Rethers and McGettigan, Henderson made several rambling statements. He chiefly complained about his true name of Jack Fraser being divulged and said he | keepers and made to say things as he | heard them talking about matters known | only to himself. The prison-keepers, he | said, had left a razor and a coil of rope {in his cell so that he could commit sui- | cide.” The hypnotic spell had come upon | him November 2. He had been visited, he | said, by a palmist and a spiritualist, who i had 'worked upon his mind. He also told a rambling story about getting drugs and | liquor. ; It is thought that long imprisonment i may have worked upon Henderson and | temporarily deranged his mind. If the { physicians declare that Henderson is not sane the Kennedy case will fall, but Judge Cook says it will not affect the result of | the trials of Woods and Kauffman. | CONSUL GENERAL RUBLEE i ARRIVES FROM HONGKONG |He Is En Boute to ann.nl to Ex- \ change Posts With General | Edward S.

SKELETON OF CHINESE WOMAN IS FOUND BURIED Morgue Surgeon Bacigalupi Says the Bones Show No Marks of Violence. Workmen engaged in excavating a lot on the southeast corner of Sutter and Stockton streets yesterday morning found a human skeleton buried head downward in the cluy. The bones were taken to the Morgue and were examined by Morgue Surgeon Bacigalupi. He found them to be those of a young woman evi- dently of the Mongolian race, and that they must have been in the ground for more than ten years. The lot on which the bones were found had been occupied by a grocery, a carpenter shop and a Chi- nese laundry. The police were notified. Dr. Bacigalupi found that there were no bullet marks or other signs of violence on the bones. —_— Brown Files a Contest.

The case has been interrupted many times since his first appearance in the Police Court on a charge of convert- ing the funds of the St. Nicholas Hotel to his own use, and, strange to relate, each interruption has been caused by ill- ness or death, The first time it was continued was in the Police Court, when it was postponed for several days on account of the death of the infant daughter of George D. Col- lins, Knowlton's attorney. A few weeks later it was postponed again, on account of the death of Collins’ wife. The third interruption was caused by the death of the wife of Meyer Jacobs, who is prose- cuting Knowlton, Several days ago the case came up for trial in Judge Gra- ham’s court. A jury was selected and the | their evidence. Suddenly Juror E. P. 8jo- vall fell forward from his chair in a dead faint. He was taken from the court- room and ‘the case was put over for three days to give him timk to recover. When it was again called Juror C. C. Darling Jr. was missing from his seat in the jury box, and a note from his physician in- formed the court that he was seriously ill. Michael Ahearn and Charles Fleisher took the places of the two sick jurors. Wit- nesses were sworn and examined until court and Judge Graham announced that ing. He had hardly made the ment] when Attorney Collins ask that the Judge put it Friddy, saying that his reason announce- arose and over until for asking brother, which occurred Tuesday after- noon. —_— Had a Prosperous Year.

On the Sydney’s down trip she took on board at La Libertad a passenger named C. M. Sespedes, who made no se- cret of the fact that he was secretary to the Governor of Colombia. When the vessel arrived at San Juan, | in Nicaragua, the comandante, accom- | panied by six red-trousered soldiers, went | aboard and requested from Captain Mc- }Lam permission to interview Sespedes. | The permission was given, but the inter- view assumed /a character which, when he learned ofyit, aroused the ire of the Yankee skipper with the Scotch name.

At the close of the “Interview,” the comandante, leaving his soldlers toy guard the passenger, went to Captain Mec-| Lain and demanded that the Colombian be turned over to him. It was then that Captain McLain learned how his permis- | sion had been abuséd. He told the Nica- raguan official that he was aboard an American ship, and that Sespedes was a passenger and for the time being under | American protection. .He then ordered the comandante and his soldlers over the side and informed that official of his | intention to report the insult to Uncle Sam. ‘When the Sydney reached Panama Cap- tain McLain laid the whole matter be- fore Admiral Casey, with whom he left a formal complaint charging the Nicara- guan Government, through its coman- dante at San Juan del Sur, with having humiliated the commander of an Ameri- can ship and having insulted the stars and stripes.

The Supreme Court on Monday dis- missed the appeal of the Board of Edu-! cation from the decision of Judge Mu- rasky, who ordered the reinstatement of Mrs. Mary M. Morrisey as principal of the John Swett Evening School. Mrs. Morrisey was dismissed from the department January 31, 1899, when it was decided to dispense with the school of which she had charge. By the terms of the decision she will recover $1575 back salary and may have another position similar to the one she lost. It was shown that she had been regu- larly appointed June 29, 1898, and had not subsequently been guilty of any profes- sional misconduct. The attorneys for the Board of Educa- { tion attempted to prove that she was dis- qualified from teaching on account having been married while in service. this matter was not considered at the time of her dismissal, the court rejects is as an argument for the defense. The suit was brought jointly by Mrs. Morrisey and her husband. The Supreme Court would have ren- dered a decision in the matter before long, but the Board of Education, in view of recent decisions of the court reinstat- ing several teachers who were similarly | dismissed, consented tq waive the appeal. There are a few othdr cases of like na- ture which will unddubtedly be settled without further litigation. NEW YORK'S JACKIES ENJOY MUSICAL SMOKER Mariner Artists Entertain Their Shipmates With a Clever Minstrel Show. The jackies of the United States cruiser New York held a smoker Tuesday evening on the gun deck of their fluallng home. 1t was the regular bi-monthly “sing-song,” with the addition of a minstrel first part, and included two three-round boxing bouts. The stage was not elevated and the au- ditorivm, walled in with flags, appeared small, but contained nearly mo sailors and marines. The entertainment was uplm. As a flagship the New York has an excellent band and the ecruiser’s musiclans las: night gave of the best in their store for the benefit of their mates. The programme included songs and a step dance that set all toes tapping the deck. Bandsman N. D. Woodworth, who acquitted himself as interlocutor with professional dignity, sang several humor- ous songs, which evoked the kind of ap- plause shore folk know little about, but which came easy to the 600 bare-throated mariners. ol e T In the Divorce Court.
