No other opinions were delivered, and
the court sat until five o'clock for the
reading of the five opinions in these cases.
The Chief Justice announced that the
court would not sit tomorrow, but would
be engaged in conference. The dissenting
opinions refer to the fact that the question
on its former decision was so ably argued
and decided with as mature deliberatiOn as
any cause ever before the court, by a full
court, the decision being cOncurred in by
five justices, against three dissenting. The
court, by law, then consisted Of eight JUS

five justices to tour, the court now being
composed of nine justices, and all those
then upon the bench now retaining the

Fish,s Assassin Filling Himself with KUN
From the New York Sun.

A San reporter went yesterday 70 the
Hoffman House, the late residence OF hIl-
ward S Stokes, the murderer. The people
around there say that generally speaking,
Stokes seemed quiet, inOtfensive person,
and the very last who would seem capable
of murder Since he has been in the Iombs
he has sent up to the hotel for vaIious ar
ticles of clothing-cOat, vest, pantaloons,
and so on. They say that each day two or
three messengers have called up after va
rious articles of clothing. Stokes still re-
tains his room at the hotel. The head bar
keeper of the hotel says that for at least ten
DAYS before the crime, Stokes had been
drinking heavily, and was on what might
be termed IA drunk" The barkeeper said
positively. and is willing to swear on trial
that Stokes took drinks at the bar three
times during the afternoon which preceded
the murder-the first time about quarter
to three and the last time at half-past three
exactly. The barkeeper says he noticed
particularly the time, because he set his
watch the last time Stokes was in. He
went on to say that Stokes seemed TO have
no friends; he had lots of acquaintance,
but nobody with whom he was on intimate
terms. He generally stood drinks, and
seldom drank with others.
