Examination II James COMBS
The preliminary examination
Of James Coombs, charged with
the killing of John D. Ross, be-
gan before Judge Cary in the
District Court room, at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Long before the prisoner made
his appearance the room was
literally crowded with a mass of
morbidly curious human beings.
When the Sheriff brought
Coombs into Court all those who
had seen him before the homi-
eide could detect a wonderful
change in the latter's appearance,
denoting the fearful mental tor
lures he must have undergone
since that fatal night, only a
week since. During the entire
time devoted TO his eXamina-
ten he rested his face in his
hands, never looking up or
about him. He locks as if he
appreciates his unfortunate sit
uation in all Of its bearings.
Yesterday DR.. Smart, II. II.
Bence and Dnte Gray were ex-
amined. The examination will
be continued on Monday after
noon.

California with disastrous eff
feet. It had also been tried il
this State for eight years ant
the records proved its fallacy
Population and speculation were
rife and scandal filed the
streets. If it were only for this
term it might not matter, but il
might be for all time. He
| prophesied that it would be
a disastrous day for the State
when such a law was passed. II
passed it must be by the d0mi-
nant party of this House, and
let them answer for it.
Mr.. Hammond said that
under this bill the Board would
have power to remove, which
they have not now. He thought
it without the province Of the
Legislature to elect officers. The
Legislature should make laws
and net officers.
Mr.. Westerfield stated that
years ago the Eastern States
tried this law and had to repeal
it as inexpedient. He also re-
ferred to its disastrous effects in
California. The people no not
want this law and no one with
common sense does except to
accommodate friend. He did
not oppose the person seeking it,
but because he thought it bad
legislation. Motion to consider
engrossed, lost.
Westerfield moved to amend,
fixing the salary 1T $4,000, in
stead Of 50, 400. He thought he
would still draw the salaries of
President of the Senate and Adj
jutant General. Lost-ayes 3,
noes 10.
Motion to amend, leaving out
the Office of Adjutant General.
