His master protested .with tongue, hands and shoulders against the detention of his pet and insisted that it was not a Chinaman nor a pauper and neither exclusion act nor mendicant law could bar it out of the country.” The doctor’s nicely pointed argument failed to ef- fectively reach the obdurate officlal and the orang-outang with a human stow- away found after the vessel had left Honolulu were held-up aboard ship pending disposition of the case. —_———— RECEPTION TO BISHOP AND MRS.

Smith. Whether fired with crimina.ll intent or not the evidence is too con- flictin= for us to determine.” Such was the verdict returned by a Coroner’'s jury yesterday afternoon in the case of the union stableman’who was killed by James H. Smith, a non- union negro stableman, in a revolver Thats what every body Says who tries it! Al -y SomerHve Goap For you: ASK FOR IT. SOLD BY ALL DEALERS R s PRI — battle at the intersection of Post and Polk streets. | Said Coroner Leland: “I never heard | more peculiar evidence. Each witness | seemed to see the affair from a differ- ent standpoint. The evidence seems to show that the shot which killed Gal- | lagher was fired by Smith. I will ap- | prove the verdict as it stands.” | After a copy of the verdict had been | submitted to the District Attorney, | Judge Fritz issued a warrant for the arrest of James H. Smith and Arthur| Williams on the charge of murder. The | complaint was sworn to by Edward | Giblin. The charge was immediately | booked against the prisoners. The evidence at the Coroner’s inquest | was more than conflicting. There was apparently rank perjury on one side or the other. Union stablemen swore that | Smith had not been molested at all and that Gallagher had his back turned to the negro when the fatal shot was fired. BACIGALUIPI'S EVIDENCE. Autopsy Surgeon Bacigalupi testified that it would have been impossible for the wound to have been made by Smith if Gallagher had ‘not been facing the | negro at the time the shot was fired. | The bullet entered, he said, about an inch above the right ear and ranged backward and downward, lodging against the base of the skull on the left i side. Others testified that the two ne-| | groes were attacked by.a crowd of un-| {fon men and that a white man behind a | post on Post street fired several shots | with a revolver at Smith, Gallagher be- | | ing between the shooter and the negro. | F. W. Ellis, a merchant at 1774 Post street, testified that he heard a young | man say to two or three boys standing on the corner of Post and Polk streets: ““Hold on; keep out of that,” referring to the actions of a crowd of men on the opposite side of the street. He saw six or eight men crossing Post street| diagonally, following ith and Wil- | liams. The crowd closed in on the ne- groes and there was an interchange of blows and four pistol shots.

The witne®s Hendrick told the Coro- ner that he heard Scanlan say to one of the crowd, “You go down on this side of the street and I'll take the other side.” Scanlan appeared to be very much perturbed by this revela- tion, but remained mute respecting the accusation. ————— VENERABLE WOMAN KILLED BY FALLING DOWN STAIRS Mrs. Phoebe J.
