Prize Fighters Sentenced.
OAKLAND, November 1Sth.-The motion
for new trial in the case of Costello and
Cleary, convicted of prize Gghting was de-
MED to-day by Judge Greene, The Court
then sentenced the prisoners-Cle to
serve three months in the State Prison at
Folsom, and Costello to serve six weeks in
the State Prison at San Quentin. The
Judge said that Cleary's sentence was more
severe than Costello's because Cieary had
deliberately committed perjury on the
stand when he testified that the fight was
but sParring exhibition, and that he was
not knocked out by Costello, but lay
down when he became aware that the
officers were present. During his remarks
the Judge spoke of the fight between Sulli-
uan and Ryan, in SaE Francisco. He said
luUL t4lul llEHt MdH tNudllN do
brutal as the fight between the defendants
before him.
A Wife's IDfidelity The Cause of the Noon
Murder.
SANTA Rosa, November 1S;h-A large
crowd assembled in the Justices Court to-
day to hear the preliminary examination
of a. L. Reed and John Bailia for killing
lawyer Noon recently. Many sensational
facts were developed, setting to rest all
doubt as to the cause Of the killing. Bailiff
had been warned by Reed several weeks ago
undue intimacy between his wife
and Noon. When Bailiff accused his wife of
it she at first denied it. When the husband
said he knew all, she became almost crazed
with fright, and made the following writ
ten confession
NOVEMBER 4, 1856
do confess to you my husband, that | have
been seduced by A. T. Noon for which, God
knows am sincerely sorry.
JoNErTA BAILIFr.
From the testimony it was shoSn that
she had told Noon she thought the init
macy was discovered, when he prepared
himself for the consequences. Before max
ing the confession, and when accused of
the intimacy, Mrs. Bailiff excitedly at
tempted to burn some letters, which her
husband prevented and took from her
These letters were read and placed in evil
dence. They were addressed to Mrs. Bail
if's mother, sister, father and brother
stating that she intended to commit sui
eide, and asked their forgiveness. She did
not have the nerve TO commit the rash act
hence the letters were still in her posses
sion. When the examination was finished,
counsel asked to have his client
to bail. The Justice took the
matter under Amusement and will decide
tomorrow. The affair has created much
excitement, but the general impression,
since the testimony was heard, is that the
prisoners will be acquitted.
Alleged Frauds Denied.

various precincts, at which the representa-
tive of Mr.. Sullivan was present, only one
