SPECIAL TO THE EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.

SAN FRAScrsco, February z.
About half-past IL o'clock last night,
William Forsyth, living on Dore street,
between Bryant and Brannon, and Eighth
and Ninth, came home somewhat under the
influence Of liquor. A woman named
Mary O'Brien, who was living with him,
met him with reproaches and vile Ian
guage, and finally picking up a stove-lifter,
followed him into the bedroom and as
saulted him. A struggle ensued, during
which Forsyth got the stoyo-lifter away
from the woman and struck her over the
eye with it, telling her to the floor. For
syth then called Mrs. Clarke, who lived in
the same house, and with her assistance
placed Mrs. O'Brier on the bed, on which
he then threw himself and went to sleep.
In the morning, finding the woman still
lying motionless, he called n physician,
who pronounced her dead. Forsyth went
to the Police office, reported the case, sur
rendered himself and was locked up. The
parties had been living together several
years as man and wife, and according to
Forsyth's account, had lived a cat and dog
life, the woman being very jealous, quar-
relsome and abusive.
The Bank Of California has sold 200, coo

Bernard Lande and Edward Meyers,

examination in the City Criminal Court

ing out Of the collapse of the so-called
''Stock Exchange" which they conducted.
John Morgan, W. d. Gamble and W. G..
Rough testified as to the way the business
Of buying stocks on a margin of ten per
cent. was conducted. For the defense,
Lande, Meyers, and Baker, their b%ookkeep-
er, testified that on the day their concern
failed they paid out SO, 500 and only re-
ceived 81, 800, and that they paid out all
they had. Judge Ferral, in giving his de-
cision, said the prosecution had not shown
the intent on the part OF the defendants
to defraud. There was no doubt that the
bL cket shop business they had been carry
ing on was wrong, but it was not within
the province of the criminal law to punish
them in the absence of evidence of inten-
ton to defraud. He had no doubt the de-
PENDANTS were liable civilly, but eriminally
they could not be held. Lande and Mey-
ers were then discharged.

present to state when tie papers will be
