CARRIE PETCHNER
Assigned to the Insane Asylum by
Judge Gardiner.

Assigned to the Insane Asylum by
Judge Gardiner.
Carrie Petchner, the daughter of Frank
Petchner, of Riverside, was taken before
Judge Gardiner yesterday afternoon and
examined for insanity. Carrie is the
young woman who was confined at the
Girls Home, and who waylaid passers-
by with letters describing her wrongs.
After long examination, lasting about
two hours, before several physicians, she
was judged insane by the Court and COM
mitted to Stockton. The girl complained
that she had been unjustly held at the
Girls Home by Mrs. Watson, and por-
ton of letter from her was published in
the HERALD some time since. The facts
in the case were that the girl was sent
here some time ago, having been judged
insane by her physician in Riverside.
Mrs. Watson, believing at first that she
might recover without being sent to
Stockton, waited for some time before
bringing her before the Court. The form OF
the young woman's insanity is very
common one. She believes that she is be-
ing constantly pursued by detectives, and
that her step-mother is trying to take ad-
vantage of her. She is also afflicted with
violent furor scribendi and writes inter-
minable articles for imaginary papers.
She will be taken north at noon to-day.

Sentenced for Eight Years.

The case Of Frank Fray, convicted on
a charge of arson, came up for sentence
in Judge Cheney's court, Department No.
1, yesterday morning. His attorney
made motion for new trial but it was
denied. He was sentenced by the court
to eight years confinement in the peni-
tentiary at Folsom. He took the decree
calmly only remarking about it that seven
years was all he had expected. The
full extent of the law for arson in the
second degree is ten years. This dis.
poses for a considerable time of a char
acter well known through the southern
country. He will be taken north to-day.

Afternoon Sessiom.

The Tribune Publishing Co. sent in a
communication positively protesting
against any change in the matter of
printing the City Charter on the ground
that its bid was the lowest, being only
$647.90, while the bid of the Times was
1888. Besides this, the contract having
been signed and the copy delivered, the
matter was being set.
Col. Otis of the Times said that in re-
considering the amount of space the
Charter would take he had found that it
would only occupy fifteen columns,
which at the bid he had made would
only amount to $645. The Times bid
was therefore the lowest. He insisted
that his bid at $43 per column would
make the lowest cost.
Mr.. F. G.. Teed said that as the con-
tract had been awarded he had given the
copy to the Tribune according to instruc-
tiOns.
