Decision Rendered in the Hutado Mur.
der Case.

4 decision was rendered in the Supreme G
court in the murder case of Hutado, plain
tiff in error against the State of California.
The federal question by this case is whether
the man prosecuted for murder by
information without indictment has been
tried by ''due process of law" Those words
are to he understood in the l4th amendment
to the federal constitution the court holds.
First: The words due process of law"
in the l4th amendment do not necessarily re
quire indictment by the Grand Jury in a
prosecution by the State for murder.
Second That the conviction for murder
upon information as prescribed by the can
stitution and penal code of California, and
sentence of death thereon is not Illegal or in
violation of the l4th amendement.
Judgment of court below is affirmed.

BRUISERS' BOUTS,
Exhibition or the Manly Art by Billy
Edwards and Charley Mitchell.

NEW YORK, May l2.-The great event
in sporting circles to-day is the meeting
ut Madison Square Garden of those great
eXempIars of the manly art, Billy Ed
wards and Charley Mitchell. Both have
been in training for some weeks, and each
last night expressed opinions of his
ability to defeat the other. Ed
wards has trained at X. Travers'
country seat at Lyndhorst, n. j.,
with his brother Wary as his mentor.
Mitchell has trained at Williamsburg and
Billy Madden has had charge of him. Ed
wards was seen last night and said that
he is in finer condition than any time since
he fought Arthur Chambers on Squirrel
Island, which Arthur won by trick of his
second, who hit him on the shoulder when
Edwards had him all but whipped.
Billy said he would mount the stage
tonight weighing about l3l pounds.
Mitchell says he will appear ready for the
battle weighing l54 pounds. Mitchell
has been before the public much more
frequently during the past two years than
the eX-champion light weight, and his
style and mode of attack is better known
to those who recently became enthusi.
astic attendants at boxing bouts. But
those who know the gentlemanly ex-ma-
chiniSt are confident he will win.
During the past two years Ed
wards has been busy as private detec.
tive for Ned Stokes, and has not appeared
often in public. Previous to that he
often set-to with his brother and Prof.
Pat. Jordan at benefit performances, and
any one who has seen him knows that a
more scientific boxer never wore gloves.
| Although Edwards is allowing his oppo-
nent nearly two inches in height and
twenty-three pounds in weight, there are
| those who believe that he viii beat the
English champion. The meeting between
Mitchell and Edwards will be preceded
by boxing by Costigan and Mulry, Miyey
and Dempsey, Cryster and Williams and
others, who will make warm and inter.
eSting bouts.
