J. Feeney, the man who was found sorely wounded on the porch of the home of Thomas Christal. 426 Twenty-sev- enth street, Wednesday night. In the opinion of the detectives Feeney came to his death from wounds self- inflicted and there is nothing to show that he was the victim of foul play, as was at first suspected. Feeney, who has bzen an inmate of the Alameda County Hospital for some time, left that institution last Tuesday to make a trip to this city. He had been suffering for years from a complication of physical ailments. ‘When next heard from the man was in the City, and County Hospital of San_Francisco. Christal says he heard an unusual sound at his front door at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday night. On investigation he found Feeney lying across the porch with a Bullet wound in his head. A pistol was-at- his side. . Christal then summoned Policeman Jewel and the sufferer was removed.to the City and County Hospital, where Dr. Hart examined his hurts.. There were several slight cuts about the heart of the patient, ' but ' they had evidently been made several days previous and had been dressed by a surgeon. The patient died in an hour after being placed on the operating table. _ . Hugh McLaughlin, a friend of Fee- Captain Charles T.

Richards Jr., from present appear- ances, seems to be an interminable one. He was tried by a court-mar- t:al at the Presidio for duplicating his pay accounts and was acquitted on the ground of insanity. Great pressure was brought to bear before this court- martial by G. S. Richards Sr., father of the accused and one of the mag- nates of the Standard Oil Company. Now. Lieutenant Richards is to be call- ed up next Monday before a medical beard to be examined regarding his samity. If the board finds that Rich- ards is sane then he must go before another court-martial. Army circles here are much: inter- ested in the outcome of this ‘case, which has occupied the attention of the court-martial for over six months. Among those registering at the de- partment headquarters yesterday were: Lieutenant Colonel Harold C. - Fiske, Engineer Corps, awaliting orders, and staying at the Occidental: Lieutenant Charles T. Leeds, Engineer Corps, awaiting orders; Captain Amos H. Martin, Fourteenth Infantry, at the Occidental; Lieutenant Colonel C. W. Mason, Twenty-ninth Infantry, at the Occidental; Major E. E.
