Inquiry developed the fact that she had left on the morning overland train, accompanied by her nurse, and had given no intimation to even her ‘most. intimate friends of her intended departure. For the last two \\ec\kq Mrs.” Coit had remained almost constantly with- in . hér rooms at the Palace, making no. attempt to see her old time friends, who had been in the habit of calling on her daily.. When they called at her rooms they were. informed -that she was- still' ‘indisposed. - Although seemingly sick, it now appears that the lady was- in -reality preparing to leave n. Francisco and when her business affairs had been settled and heér furniture and -other baggage pack- ed she lost no time in_getting quietly out of the city. - RELUCTANT TO TESTIFY. After the Police Court hearing of the Garnett case: it was announced by Dis- tricts Attorney Byington that the trial in’ the ‘Suberior Court would be held during -this ‘month, arnd this fact ha caused much speculation as to whether | the" approaching day of -trial did not 7 have something to do with Mrs. Coit's hurried departure from the city. Upon her testimony-—she being the only eye- witness: to the shoeting of Major Me- Clung by Garnett in her apartments some weeks ago~the prosecution hoped to make out its' case against the ac- cused relative of Mrs. Coit. From the beginning of the judieial fn- stigation of the. facts léading up to .the - shoating Mrs. Coit exhibited a | strong-disposition to avoid going on the stand as.a Witness against Garnett, and rit was only after Police - Court “had - threatened to held |‘court in" her rooms at.the Palace that she reluctantly agreéd to obey the sum- mons of ‘the magistrate and give her evidence -at the preliminary hearing of | the murder charge. PARIS HER DESTINATION. ¥riends of Mrs. Coit .on several oc- | 'casions have admitted that she sympa- | thized. with ~Garnett, ' notwithstandiug Ithe fact that she deeply deplared the i death of her friend, Major MeClung. | It was her attorneys that first went to the assistance of Garnett after he was arrestéd in Oakland, and it was through their efforts- that special counsel was \obtamed’forithe prisonier prier to his | appearance in the Police Court. Without Mrs. Coit’s testimony it will be a hopeless. task for the. prosecution | t0 convict Gargett, and no.one more fully appreciates this fact than the ac- cused and Mrs. Coit. "Naturally specu- lation- aver the cause of her sudden leavetaking leads to only one conclu- sion, "and that is that' ‘she has gone away tao-avoid a summons. when Gar- hett’s case is-ready for trial. She formerly spént a great deal of her timeé in Paris and when 'she . re- turned here several months ago she stated.to.a number-of her friends that Judge Fritz of the| GOTHAM MAYOR TAKES OFFICE MeClellan Walks Through an.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—George B: Me- Clellan became Mayor of New York toe day.. He arrived at_ the €ity Hall ac- companied by his secretary, John H. O’Brien, and walked through: lines of Demoérats und--—an arch of plants and flowers to the Mayor’s public reception- room, where he was greeted by the re- tiring Mayor. The ceremonies were not elaborate, and speeches “were. -brief. After shaking hands With his success- or, Mr. Low said: “Colonel MecClellan, . the - hour has come. when I am permitted to give the etiy into your care, in obediénce to the will of the people. -Any onie who has béen. Mayor of New York will always be ready to honor its chief magistrate. Mr. Mayor, I am glad, as one of the great body -of citizens, to salute you and to wish you well.” In response, Mayor MeClellan said in part: “I believe I can only fulfill the trust of municipal government in the inter- ests of all the people. I belleve in party respo=sibility, but party responsibility only as the means of attalaing good ends. I promise you that thére will be no step backward, not even in the smallest department of my adminjs- tration.” s Then Mr. Low retired to -his private: office and -Colonel MeClelan ‘took his stand behind the table 'in ‘the publia office and hapdshaking bhegan. Long lines, reaching to the City Hall steps, were formed by the police. It took & long. time for the Demoeratic enthusi- asts to. file by the Mayor's desk. After the reeeption, the new heads of depart- ments were sworn in. Police. Commissioner MeAdao, after taking office to-day, issued a statement in: whic¢h he said he wouid do every~ thing in his poweér te prevent hiack- mailing, extortion. “‘grafting*” or bribe- taking hy the police, but' it: would be useless, he said, to expect a policenian to be honest if he has to pay for His appointment, promotion, or assighment.
