 ID. J. MarDhv shot in the San Fran
 cisco Police Court.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %. - The Deliver case, being a charge of in decent exposure, has been on trial 1T Police court No. 2 for several days and hs been throughout character ized by much acrimony on the par of counsel and witnesses. Last Mon day ex-District Attorney D. J. Mur. phy, in his opening for the defense alluded to police officer John Marc. ney, prosecuting witness in this case as an Australian convict and thief Maroney evidently brooded over this attack. About ll:2O o'clock this morning Murphy was standing near the dock in the court room, when Maroney entered; pushing aside an officer standing near Murphy, he drew pistol ard without word fired; the ball struck Murphy in the right side of the neck, passing com pletely through. He fell to the floor, his blood spouting in jets over the bystanders, crying, "Murdered, for doing my duty!" The greatest ex. citement ensued, and more than one cry of "Lynch him" arose.
 Maroney was instantly seized by Sergeant Apgar and taken to the city prison. On the way he attempted to shoot himself, but Apgar prevent, ed him, and the ball passed through the latter's vest. Maroney was then disarmed and locked up. Marphy was taken to the prison hospital, and medical attendance summoned. His wound is believed to be fatal.
 At the time of the shooting Murphy was addressing the jury and refer ing to Marony in the most offensive manner.
 The whole history of the case has been peculiar. Deliver, who is a man of advanced age and very wealthy, was accused of tampering with some dozen or more little girls. Morony, who was the arresting off cer, has had charge of procuring witnesses, and of generally forward ing the prosecution within hls pro- vince. The defense has been backed by abundant means, and every effort has been made to impeach the prose- cution. Your reporter, after the shooting, interviewed Marony in his cell. He was laboring under de- gree of agitation bordering on in sanity and his remarks were frag- and almost incoherent. He little desire to speak at length, saying, "The public knows all about this case; it knows how 1 have been wounded by the prosecu- tion for doing my duty. Every means have been used to draw me off and to break down my witnesses. have been offered two thousand dollars to draw out, and have two hundred dollars now in the hands of the authorities ti.at were given to one of my witnesses to try to induce false swearing. I have been so worked up about this thing that I hardly knew what I was about. I was drinking some last night, and again this morning"
 Being asked as to the immediate motive of the act, his utterances be- came incoherent and general in ma. ;ure.
 Chief of Police Crowley in many expects corroborated Marony's state- nents. He said that the latter was IS straight and square a man as he lad on the force; that he had done lis duty in this case, and that the manner in which he had been pur- ued for so doing was perfect out age; that the stories regarding his laving been a convict, thief, etc., were all perfect nonsense, not word 'f truth in them. He also mentioned he attempt that had been made to corrupt Aarony and witnesses. of course, in any way sup. porting Marony's rash course, he nevertheless scene, of the opinion hat he had received extreme provo ation.
 Murphy was found in the receiving hospital, lying on his back, with ban lages on his neck, evidently suffer- ng much, but in full possession of lis faculties. The heliet is now ex- 'ressed that the wound may not rove fatal, none of the principal 'lood vessels having been severed. The affair creates great excitement, nd comment is various, according to he familiarity of the speakers with he circumstances of the case and in- ividual feelings.
