SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 25.-Tht
Deliver ease, being u charge o
indecent exposure, has been OF
trial for several days in Police
Court No. 2, and has been through
out characterized by much acri.
meny on the part Of counsel and
witnesses. Last Monday ex.
District.Attorney D. j. Murphy,
In his opening for the defense al.
luded to police officer John Marc
ney, the prosecuting witness in the
case, as an Australian convict and
thief. Msy0ney evidently brooded
over this attack. About 1I:20 this
morning Murphy was standing
near the dock IN the courtroom,
when Mar0ney entered. Pushing
aside the officer standing near
Murphy, he drew a pistol aud
without word fired. The bali
struck Murphy in the right side OF
the neck, passing completely
through. He fell to the floor, the
blood spouting in jets over the by
ISLANDERS, crying. 81 am muir
dered for doing my Gu-
typ The greatest excitement
ensued, and more than one cry OF
"Lynch h!n!" arose. Maroney was
instantly seized by Sergeant APP
gar and taken to the city prison.
On the way he attempted to shoot
himself, bat Apgar prevented him,
the ball passing through the lat
ter's vest. Marsney was then dis
armed and locked up. 'wurphy
was taken to the prison hOspita!
and medical Attendance snm-
moned. His wound is believed to
be fatal.
THE PRISONER INTERVIEWED.
AT the time that Murphy was
addressing the jury and referring
to Maroney in u most offensive
manner, the latter became very ex.
cited and demonstrative. The his
tory of the case has been peculiar.
Dolliver, who is u man of advance
ed age and very wealthy, was nc.
cused of tampering with some doz.
en- or more little girls. Maroney,
who was the arrestipg officer, has
had charge of procuring the wit
nesses and OF generally forwarding
the prosecution within his prov
ince. The defense has been
backed by abundant means
and every effort has beer
made to impeach the prosecution.
Your reporter, after the shouting,
interviewed Maroney In his cell.
He was laboring under u degree OF
agitation bordering on insanity,
and his remarks were fragmentary
and almost incOheient. He ex-
hibited little desire to speak, at
leugth saying: "Fhe public knows
ali about this case. IL knows how
have been bounded by the pros
ecution for doing my duty. Every
means has been used to draw me
off and to break down my wit
nesses. 1 have been offered two
thousand dollars To draw out
and I have two hundred dollars

witnesses to try to induce false
swearing. ! have been so worked
up about this thing that [ hardly
knew what I was about. L was
drinking some last night and
again this morning. Being asked
as to the immediate motive of the
act, his utterance became incohe-
rent and general in it's nature.
WHAT CHIEF CROWLEY SAYS.
Chief Of Police Crowley In many
respects corroborates Maroney's
statements. He said that the lat
rer was as straight and square u
man as any he had on bis force;
that he had done his duty in the
case, and that the manner in
which he had been pursued for 80
doing was an outrage; that the sto-
ries regarding his having been a
convict, thief, etc were all per-
feet nonsense. not word of truth
In them. He also mentioned at
tempts that had been made to
corrupt Maroney and the witness
90. Without of course supporting
in any way Msroney's rash course,
he nevertheless seemed OF the
opinion that he had received ex-
trems provocatiop.
MURPHY's CONDITION.
Murphy was found in the re.
