SAN Francisco, April 29.-In the Police
Court, this afternoon, I. M. Kalloch had q
preliminary examination on the charge Of
killing Charles De Young. The prosecu-
ton offered the testimony Of eyewitness
Of the shooting, medical men who were in
attendance and performed the autopsy,
and the arresting officer. The defense
offered no testimony, and the prisoner was
held without bail.
Clemetshaw, arrested for perjury in
connection with the De Young inquest,
was brought up in the Police Court, but at
the request OF the defense, the case was
continued till next Tuesday.
The Post this afternoon publishes the
following card from young Kalloch
EDITOR PosT-I have not a word to say
about the facts or merits Of my case. I
wish it to be tried in the ordinary way.
Fair play, especially towards a man charged
with murder, is supposed to be character
istic of American communities. But 1
expect no fair play on or before my trial,
if the fast men and corrupt detectives who
surround the Chronicle office, and assume
to run this city, can prevent it. 1t is in
famous that public officers, who are paid
by the community, should work illegiti-
mately for a private individual, and con-
vert what ought to be honorable prosecu-
ton into a malignant persecution. The
drivel published in the Chronicle of last
Sunday shows how some Of our detectives
will invade private houses, and try to
brighten ignorant people. AS to the arrest
OF Clemetshaw, l have this to say: / do
not know the man, and ! make no state
ment as to my version Of what TRANSFERRED.
l do not say whether his testimony is cor
rect or incorrect, but l do declare that he
had no motive, SO far as / can see, to con-
ceal or pervert the truth, and that there is
nothing in his evidence to indicate per-
jury. 1t looks to me as if his arrest is in
tended by the Chronicle and the detectives
to warn the citizens of San Francisco that
they must not testify to any facts that
would even tend towards my exculpation.
Yours truly, /. M. KALLocH.
The Post in another column SAYS: How
ever Improbable it may appear, in the face
Of the testimony given at the inquest on
the body Of the late Charles De Young, it
Is confidently asserted by the friends Of 1.
M. Kalloch that at least a dozen witnesses
will support the testimony of Clemetshaw,
to the effect that De Young did fire the
first shot. The rumor is given for what it
is worth, but there is no possible doubt
that such evidence will be offered and form
a part of the defense.
About l { o'clock this morning Michael
Butler, while riding along the San Jose
road, near Twenty-seventh street, was APP
preached by a stranger, who shot at him.
Butler returned the fire and the man fell.
Butler drove to the Seventeenth Street Po-
lice Station, and officers returned to the
place OF the shooting, but the man had
disappeared, leaving a pool Of blood where
he had lain.
Rio VISTA, CAL, April 29.-The Toland
tract of tule land, embracing about three
thousand acres, just below town, half of
which is under culs,gaGon, is completely
flooded. The levee on Andrews Island
broke yesterday morning, but the crevasse
was repaired before much damage was
done. The river is slowly falling now.
