The vrnsmrn Murder Tsias-


SAN BUENAvENTURA, Aug. q
AT the opening of the Court this
morning, in reply 10 counsel, his
Honor said that, if time permitted,
another prisoner would be tried
after Lord; but that this term Of
Court must end on Saturday, the
10th inst. He did not anticipate
that another case would be taken
up.
The time fixed for passing sen-
tence upon Sprague having ar
rived, his Honor directed the Sher-
iff to bring him into Court. His
wife and daughter followed him.
The Judge then said (after direct
ing the prisoner to stand up): +. "A.
Sprague, you have been indicted by
the Grand Jury of this county for
the crime of murder committed on
the 24th day of March, 1877, upon
the person of Thomas Wallace
More. 70 this indictment you have
pleaded not guilty; jury was inn
panneled which rendered II verdict
of guilty against you. 1t is now
my duty to ask you whether you
have any legal cause to show why
judgment should not be pro.
nounced in accordance with the
verdict.
Mr.. Raymond, for the prisoner,
asked for new trial, first, on the
ground that the Court had made an
erroneous ruling as to matters of
law in this, that the witness Jones
had testified on his direct examin.
alton that he had been guilty of ar
son, but on cross osS-examination, un-
der direction of the Court, witness
refused to answer; further counsel
claimed that he had right to the
testimony, and that the witness
could not claim exemption on cross
examination, nor indeed claim it at
all, as he was an accomplice, and
bound to reveal all lie knew. Counsel
read several authorities to
sustain his position. The next
point of objection was that the
deposition of Hickerson was i'm.
properly admitted, the Justice hav-
ing refused to make rulings until
after the case was decided and
closed. The third point was that
the Court refused TO instruct the
jury that O witness who made one
false statement is to be distrusted
in all, by inserting the word
wilfully" before "false." The
counsel stated that the point as to
the non-reading of the Indictment
could not properly be argued upon
a motion of this kind.
Judge Granger for the State
briefly stated that counsel for the
people thought no error had been
committed, unless it was a mere
oversight which worked no harm
to the defendant. The Court took
the motion under advisement, and
remanded the prisoner until Mon
day morning at nine O'Clock, at
which time the motion will be de-
eided.
At eleven o'clock one more juror
having been obtained in the Lord
case, making eleven in all, and the
panel being exhausted, the Court
ordered another venire TO issue and
adjourned the Court until to.mor-
row morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, aug. 2.-The
District Attorney has prepared an
Indictment against G. w. Craw-
ford, charging him with attempt
ing to utter forged stock. Some
months ago a lot of forged stock
was prepared by an engraver for
Crawford. The engraver notified
the police, who arrested Crawford
before he had an opportunity to
put the stock on the market.
The manager of the Labor Ex-
change reports supply of labor in
excess of the demand. Previous to
the election men would not leave
the city, but now many have gone
to the country seeking work on
their own account, but many still
remain who are unable to obtain
employment, or have not the
means to leave the city
TO fill orders. There is
some demand for street laborets,
but men are in many cases shy of
accepting the work, alleging that
they are swindled out of their
wages by the contractors and 9TH
erwise i'll used. 1he manager
expresses the opinion that while
there is now nothing like the
amount of destitntion III the city
that prevailed last Winter, yet
there are still many who are in ur-

SUTRO, Aug. BY measure ment
yesterday the Sutro tunnel shows
the extraordinary progress of l02
feet made since the previous meas
uring day. July 22d, and the total
length OF 20,210 feet from Its
mouth. The west wall of the
Comstock, 1t is expected,
will be cut in few weeks, after
which the construction of II COW
cred drain to carry off the hot water
of the mines will be commenced.
The cutting of this drain in solid
rock will require from 6 to months
and no water from the Comstock
lode can be permitted to be pumped
into it until this drain is quite
completed and covered over. With
powerful draft sweeping through
the tunnel, an open stream of
water flowing through the same at a
temperature of 160 degrees would
create an atmosphere of steam that
would be fatal to life. A quartz
ledge so feet in width has lately
been traversed. which gives assays
averaging Sis per ton. 1t is said
that it can be extracted and milled
Mt profit through the tunnel.
