:Unfavorable to Gould.

NEW York, Dec. 30.-Dis,rict Attorney
Marllne to-day filed the following memo
randum i'm the matter of the charge made
against Jay Gould and Russell Sage Ivy bond
holders of the Kansas Pacific railroad
This is an application to present To the
grand jury charge OF Lawrence against
Jay Gould and Russell Sage, under section
81 Ot the penal code. In my opinion, the
acts with the commission, of which de.
fet,dents stand charged, constitute IA crime.
A possible obstacle To the successful prose =
oution of the pers"rs complained Of is the
statute Of limitations, yet there are strong
reasons for believing that this obstacle il
not insurm ountable. The statute under
which it Is sought to prosecute may he So
constrained as to enable the people to pro
ceed, notwithstanding the statute OF limita
tions aud such construction would have
much support in reason and common sense.
The question is so close and the Interests in
voved here, as we'll of the people as of the
defendants, are So important that 1t seems
proper to leave the determination of this
question of law to the courts, and in order
u effect this result it should be laid before
the grand jury, and II possible an indict-
ment found, To- be tried.

chanial education, aud when ON
account OF falling health last winter he
was Obliged to desist pracicinY his proies-

the invention. and since then he has made
and tied models OF the piece with remark
able success. The experiments have been

consists of a tube of steel wound with wire,
around which IL cast an outer steel barrel

Billiugso' murder in the hrst degree tor
shooting w. D. Kingsley. This case is one
of the most sensational and has more PEE
culiar features IN II than any which has de.
veloped in the state oi Iowa. Billings, IA
man at tOrty.hve years Of age, was a res
pee .ed lawyer OF the town of Waycrly. His
wife was woman of tine figure and many
charms OF feature, but a good deal younger
than her husband. Will Kingsley was but
twenty-five years old, II law graduate and
90 we'll read and popular that he was easily
successful In being elected county attorney
The two men at one time had an
office together and business relations
One day two weeks ago, Billings called at
Kingsley's office. Suddenly passers by on
the street were startled by the report Of
pistol shots, and Billings came running
down the stairs crying out that Kingsley
had shot him. Citizen2 ran up stairs and
entering Kingsley's office found him dead
on the hOor with bullet in his brain.
Billings claimed that the dead man shot
himself
A month previous to this Billings had
the young attorney arrested on warrant
charging him with seduction. 1t being
Rhe aiterward confessed that the charge
wps>not true, and that Billings had induced
her To swear ont the warrant.
\ F-oni testimony adduced at the inquest
ings had set about effecting the
ruin OF Kingsley in most systematic
manner. He has forged Ills own wife's
name to notes directed to the law yer, the
contents Of the notes being full Of loving
terIns and asking Kingsley 10 meet her ut
her own house while Billings was away.
Kingsley replied in good faith declining t.
make the a>synation and warning the sup
posed female writer to desist from her
course. The reply fell into the hands oi
Killings. The latter even went so far as to
prepare notes Of hand. filed out, convey
Ing all Kngsiey's property TO himseif. 1t ID
\ believed that on the day Of the shooting,
Billings went to KiDgsley's office To try by
