COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
CLARA BELLE ACQUITTED.

The trial of Clara Belle Mcdonald
for attempting the life of her father-in-
l,w ended on Monday afternoon with a
verdict of mot guilty on the ground Of
insanity" Three ballots were taken by
the jury, the first standing eleven for
ncquittal und one for assault with a
deadly weapon. The fair defendant
WAS not too insane to shake hands with
and thank ,:oh one of the jurymen,
while exhibiting the utmost JOY at her
r.lease from the tolls Of the law. On
this subject the San Francisco Post
says:
"Mrs. McDonalds trial for shoot
ing ut her father -in-law ended yes
t,rdny afternoon in a verdict OF ac-
quit.al No other result was to be OK.
pected, and there was nobody, unless it
WAS the senior Mcdonald, who looked
for anything different. 1t is Practically
impossible to convict O pretty woman of
any crime. Jurymen will violate their
oaths without the slightest conjunction
to protect one of the other sex, and
even vile woman like the Los Angeles
vitriol thrower cannot be convicted by
jury"
Now that this would-be assassin is
turned loose upon the public the next
question is, If she be insane what as
surunce have we that she will not at
tempt the life of another victim, per.
haps more successfully than when she
fired three shots at Mr.. Mcdonald Sr.2
As matter of snfety to the public Clara
Belle should either be committed to ON
Insane Asylum, or kept In custody and
placed under medical care. We are OPP
posed to the release OF criminal on the
ground of insanity, even though the de-
PENDANT be young anil beautiful WON.
nm. and the lnws should be 80 amended
that whenever an acqnittnl is had Oh
the ground Of insanity the defendant in
the case SHOULD at once be committed TO
m Asylum and kept there for term
not less than five years, and longer il
thought necessary.

could take any action. He did not sup.
! pose that Chief Lee wished to prefer
charges himself and then sit as Judge on
them. The suspension was in accordance
with the regular custom, and he did not
deny the authority of the Chief in this re-
spect, though he did not think il was pro-
vided for in the law. The police rules
gave the Chief authority TO suspend an
| officer pending the meeting of the Com
missioners. Mr.. Franks was suffering
under cloud, and ought to have hearing
as soon as possible.
The Mayor said that he thought the
Police Commissioners were also under a
cloud until this matter was cleared up, and
he should be guided by the judgment of
Chief Lee in it,
Chief Lee said that all of the officers had
copies of the subpoena for the man and
every effort would be made to get him. He
would not himself prefer any charges, as
he would be one of those to pass upon
them. Officer Franks, however, ought to
be censured for his act taking his own
statement oft. He moved that the matter
go over until this afternoon. h knew the
man was in town at s o'clock the night
before.
Judge Buckley said that a man who has
lived in this community for many years
and raised a family, and who had been q
man of good repute all his life, until these
charges were made, was entitled
to speedy and impartial ;nves-
tigation. A cloud was hanging
over the officer which was a source of
worriment not only to himself but to his
family. He had known officer Franks for
a good many years and had known him to
be good officer. He voted for him be-
cause he believed him to be good man
and officer, and thought the investigation
ought 10 take place to-day as early as pos
sibe
Mr.. Anderson also asked that the invest
iga;ion go over until to-day at l o'clock
He was satisfied that Mr. Franks would
show himself to be perfectly clear of any
wrong-doing. His name Yves too good to
be injured by any travelling thief, monte
bank or scOundrel that come along.
Mayor Gregory said that officer Franks
had ALWAYS borne a good reputation and
that he should have full and fair investi-
cation.
1t was decided that the matter should be
taken up again at 1:30 P. NJ. to-day.
City Attorney Church explained that
subpoena had been issued for Sebelle, the
man referred TO in the Police Court cases,
but that he had not been found and did
not appear.
The Commissioners then adjourned.
