Court Items.
In Department One of the Superior Cour
yesterday, when the case OF The People vs.
Brown and Eagan for an assault to dc
great bodily injury to T. NJ Hotz, was
called, Charles T. Jones, of counsel for the
prosecution, stated, on behalf of Mr. Hotz
that the latter was confident that a second
trial OF the case would result about the
same as did the tirst-in failure of the
jury to aEree-bocause no stronger evil
dence could be adduced than on the first
hearing. He had been at trouble and
expense in prosecuting the case, and
thought he had done all in that respect,
in the interest of law and good govern
ment, that could be expected of a good
citizen. He had not desired, in the first
place, 10 prosecute the young men. but the
papers got hold of the matter, and rumors
were circulated by people that he had been
bought oil. Under those circumstances. to
protect himself, he had the defendants
arrested. The defendants had suffered
some punishment by being compelled 10
defend, and, as he was satisfied they
could not be convicted, he desired the
cases dismissed as a saving of time trou-
BILE and expense. Mr.. Jones said he
thought the District Attorney felt about
as he did relative to the inability to con-
Wet and the ACCESSIBILITY to dismiss. 1t
was one OF those eases, he thought in
which dismissal could be granted on stipu-
laton Of satisfaction. Judge Van Fleet
stated that he would give Mr. Hotz an
opportunity to come into Court and make
statement personally, and meanwhile
would look into the authorities relative to
dismissal
The case of the Peopleys, Michael cellar,
accused OF murder in killing VIM. Henry
Harris, was called and the defendant ar
raigTed. He entered a plea of not guilty.
District Attorney Buckley suggested to the
Cour7 mis- belief that the bail fixed by the
Court below for the defendant-$7, 500-was
inadequate to the offense committed and
moved that the defendant be remanded to
the custody of the Sheriff, without bail
Grove J.. Johnson, for the defendant, argued
against the motion. Judge Van Fleet sald
that the committing magistrate had acted
in the premises in the light of the evidence
taken before him, and be did not think il
would ue proper for him 10 set that action
aside without COED reason. He would
therefore read over the evidence as taken
by the official reporter, and hear attorneys
on the subject at $50 tomorrow morning.
In Department Two Judge Mcfarland
rendered his decision in the case of Jane /.
Come, vs.. Lee Stanley, administrator of
VIM Jarvis, deceased, taken under advise
ment few days ago, and ordered judgment
entered in favor of defendant. This was
the third trial of the case, and judgment
has been rendered for the defendant each
time.
Judge Mcfarland said, in rendering
judgment yesterday, that sufficient evidence
had been adduced to prove that Jarvis was
Influenced by the delusion of Spiritualism,
and, # not absolutely insane, could at least
be induced to make contracts under the
deiusion named, which he would not have
entered into with people not Spiritualists
