People who ere lacking in skill but who still dare to ex- press an opinioa oceasionally will thank Mr. Woodbury for the comforting assurance. Mr. Woodbury Is quite competent to speak on almost any subject wherein books or writers are concerned, for he has been & writer for such magazines as the Century and Outlock for several years.

Mrs. Geirrene returned to the room in which ;she had left the husband and, discover- {ing his absence, made frantic search of the premises. A daughter, Mabel, joined 1in the hunt. They found the husband ‘nnd father a corpse, hanging from the roof in the shed. Geirrene was-52 years old. He had re- | sided in Berkeley for nearly twenty years, ,jin a house bullt for him at 1813 Grove street. He was connected with the Amer- ican ‘Importing Company of Ban Fran- | cisco until recently, when he purchased jan interest in a bazaar in Oakland. Three months ago rheumatism and bron- chial trouble forced him to retire, and he became bedridden. Dr. Woolsey ad- vised that he be sent to Southern Cali- fornia and this move was to have been made next week, To-day for the first time in months he left the sick chamber in the upper part of the house and was provided with quarters in a living’room below. Mrs. Geirrene attended to the removal, and made the patlent comfort- able with pillows as he lay on a couch by the window. The wife left the room for a few min- utes to procure some needed articles from another part of the house, and her ab- sence gave Geirrene the opportunity he desired, to make away with himself. A coil of rope and a cracker box served him. The rope thrown over a beam, and then around his own neck, did the work of strangulation. Death is believed to have been almost instantaneous. The family includes the wife and three sons, Charles, Mark and Fred, and a daughter, Mabel. ————— NOVEL CHARTER PLAN.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 24—The Finigan divorce sult, which has lain dormant for many years, came to trial to-day Defore. Judge Lennon. The suit was instituted by Emily B. Finigan against Colonel Peter A. Finigan on November 25, 1896, for alimony, counsel fees and decree of divorce. The suit was In- ferred to this county. originally ordered to pay $100 a month alimony during the pending of the trial and counsel fees. He refused to do so and served seven weeks in the County Jail for contempt of court. He has since gone through bankruptey | and now claims that he is unable tol pay alimony. A few months ago Finigan made a mo- tion to have the case dismissed on the ground that it har not been prosecuted. Counsel for Mrs. Finigan replied that his cllent was In Europe, but was ex pected back soon. He objected to a dismissal, saying that his client was acting as a chaperon abroad and wi ready to try the case years ago, but on account of the dilatory tactics of Finl- gan it was put over. Mrs. Finlgan, accompanied by her sis- ter, Miss Minnie Boysen, and Mrs. Spotts, a former domestic, appeared in court to-day and sat near her attor- ney, J. W. Dorsey. Colonel Finigan, looking as rugged as ever, was accom- panied by James Shea, a San Francisco capitalist, and his attorney, James P. Sweeney. In her complaint Mrs. Finigan al- leges that her husband used profane language, threatened to kill her and was insanely jealous of her and caused her much menta§ suffering by his ac- tions. The case will probably take three or four days to try, as it will be bitterly contested. Mrs. Finigan testified while In their apartments in Paris her husband threatened to shoot her, saying, “Either you or I shall dle.” She said that be- fore their marriage he gave her to understand that he was wealthy and would give ber a lberal allowance. He paid all the bills up to a short time BUNKERS WILL TAKE THE STAND Convieted Solon . Returns From San Quentin Prison to Appear Against French MORE JURORS SECURED Public Interest in Case Is Not as Great as When Other Lawmakers Were on Trial ———— SACRAMENTO, Jan. 34.—The work of _securing a jury to try for- mer 'Senator Frank French on & charge of bribery was Te- sumed befors Superior Judge K. C. Hart this morningd When the noon re- cess was reached two additional jurors 1ad been secured—George C. Sherman und W. Boden. At this point three jurors remained to be chosen, six talesmen being avail- able for that purpose. The prosecution and the defense were reduced to two Peremptory challenges each. There was a very small attendance upon the session of court, and public interest in the proceedings is by no means as keen as that which character- ized the trial of Harry Bunkers or B. J. Emmons, both of whom were ¢on- victed of the same offense of which French stands charged. Bunkers will be a witness against French. Deputy Sheriff Edward Reese lett for San Quentin this morning for the purpese of bringing the convicted man here to testify against his asso- clate in the Legislature. He arrived here this evening. This afternoon J. P. Culverson of Oak Park was added to the list of Jurors shortly after the wsession of court was resumed. Four talesmen wera then examined, but none was accept- ed, and, with the calling of Hugh Cur- Ten to the jury box, the panel was ex- hausted. Judge Hart ordered a special venire of ten talesmen to issue, returm- able at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. Curren, by consent of both sides, was not examined this afternoon, but will be taken in hand to-morrow morning. Sheriff David Reese to-day received & telegram from Sheriff White of Los Angeles stating that J. J. Calish, sub- penaed as a witness in French's de- fense, was without the means to pay his rallroad fare to Sacramento and asking if he (White) should advance him $20. Reese conferred with French and his attorneys and they decided that Calish’s testimony would not be of sufficlent importance to warrant ad- vancing the money. Calish was for- merly president of the State Barber Commission, which subsequently was abolished, and was a witness for the previous to their separation, when he crdered prominent Ban Francisco firms to cease giving her credit. He of- fered her an allowance of $20 per month, which she refused. Once In anger he sald, “If you leave me now you will not get a dollar, even If I have to throw it into the bay.” Mr. Finigan also accused her of flirting while they were traveling in Denmark, and used profane and insulting lan- guage. The trial will be resumed to-day. —_——————— STUDENTS ELECT OFFICERS.
