with the left side Of the head beaten
in. James Mahoney, the husband of
the murdered woman, says that he
returned home from where he had
been working a short distance away
and found the dead body of bis |
wife outside the house. He says
that she had 1884 in coin and some !
shares Of stock in her possession prior |
to her murder, bdt that it was gone

picion points strongly to Mahoney as
the man who committed the deed, as
it was said that their domestic rela-
tions were unhappy and the husband !
abused his wife and was in the habit
of beating her when drunk. 1t is |
said that he had been caught beating
her by a lady who passed the house a
few hours before the tragedy. Blood
stains were found on the doors lead

washed it off in order to divert sus-
picion from himself. He was arrest
ed and lodged in. Jail. Mahoney is

crime was committed.

was prevalent yesterday about town
that the divorce suit of Hill VS.. Sha-
ron had been amicably settled, and
that everything was lovely and Sc

munity property" It has been an
open secret that the attorneys in the
suit and friends of both parties have
been more than half willing to have
a compromise effected, and it was
naturally supposed that the principals
had succumbed to the wishes OF their
friends. General Barnes, however,
denies that there has been any
overture made for settlement on
the part of his client. VIM. NJ. Neil
son states that Miss Hill would not
listen to anything Of the kind; that
the lady is not making money fight,
but simply desires to have her claim
as legal wife sanctioned by the
court. Judge Taylor expressed the
opinion. in a whisper to a friend. on
the Oakland boat. on Wednesday
afternoon, that the case would never
come to trial, and the rumor probably
grew from the ensuing conversation.

set aside on the ground that members
of the grand jury were biased and
prejudiced against him. The court
will then be obliged to fix a day for
the examination of the grand jurors,
and lively time is anticipated.
