JENNINGS AND HENLEY.
Judge Buckley Dispenses Justice With
ont Fear or Eavnr.

oet Fear or Favor.
Judge Buckley rendered his decision
yesterday morning in the case of W. H
Jennings, charged with false imprison-
ment, discharging the defendant, and
thereby subiecting himself to further ad-
verse criticism on the part of those who
have been the apologists for all sorts of DO
litical corruption and who have done what
they could to prevent the punishment of
those who violated the election laws at the
late city election. The fact is that the
| Judge arrived at the only conclusion which
could be reached by a fair-minded, impair
tial person who had all the facts before him.
and his action will be commended by ali
good citizens. Throughout the trial of the
cases arising out of the violations of the
election laws Judge Buckley has stood up
! fearlessly in the face of the gang" and
| done his duty like man, in spite OF all the
attempts which have been made at bull
doing.
The case of Jennings was very simple
one, except that there was conflicting testi-
mony upon one point. Jennings was act
ing as Deputy Sheriff at the polls and ar
rested ex-Justice Henley for being drunk
and disorderly. On arriving at the station
| house he was persuaded not to prosecute
the case and Henley was discharged. Upon
| this he had Jennings arrested for false i'm
| prisonment. On the trial Colonel Nc
Nasser, the Inspector of the election, and
several other reputable citizens testified
that Henley was drunk and noisy, while
as many more swore that he was not drunk
and was not making any more noise than
others present. The case was taken under
advisement until yesterday morning, when
| Lincoln White, counsel for the defendant,
| presented authorities to show that where
no malice WAS shown and where there was
probable cause for the arrest an action for
false imprisonment would not lie.
City Attorney Hart insisted that case
had been made out, and asked that the de-
PENDANT be held TO answer.
| Judge Buckley reviewed the testimony at
length, being interrupted twice by Henley,
who disagreed with the Court in his state
ment OF what the evidence had been. The
Judge said that this was the first case of
| the kind that ever came efore him, and
| that he never remembered a case like it
having been tried in this county. The
evidence as TO Henley's condition had been
| conflicting, but he was convinced that the
ex-Justice was not so drunk but that he
| could take care of himself. He did not
| think that he could have been convicted of
being drunk and disorderly if he had been
| tried on that charge, and therefore he con-
sidered that the arrest ought not to have
been made. At the same time the arrest
ing officer probably thought he was
doing his duty and the fact that he did not
urge his complaint showed that he had no
malice. Under these circumstances it
would be useless to hold the defendant to
answer before the Superior Court, as he
would in all probability be acquitted by q
jury. He therefore ordered the defendant
discharged.

Jute Bags.

In order to show clearly the position
taken by Governor Waterman in the mat
ter of the sale of jute bags made at San
Quentin Prison, the following letter written
by his Secretary, M. d. Boruck, to Warden
McComb is given: In conversation
with the Governor this morning, prior to
his leaving for San Diego, he came to the
conclusion that two cents below the market
rates would be about the price at which
farmers should be supplied with sacks from
the State Prison. That while he believes
in protecting them to the fullest extent,
and dealing with them with the greatest
fiberality, the income of the prison from
labor performed by the convicts must at
the same time be taken into consideration,
and the State reimbursed, as far as it can
be, for the outlay incurred. The Governor
was well pleased with his visit at San
Quentin, and the progress made since you
assumed command

lars entered the residence of f. A. c.
Nichols, on the lower Stockton road, and
carried off the following property: Eleven
dollars in money; one gentleman's II karat
solitaire diamond ring, oval-shaped and
carved with high settings; one solid gold
specimen, about one inch long, made for

inches long. parasol in center with quartz
setting, and silver on point of pin one
lady's gold breastpin, oval-shape, larger
than silver dollar, with white roses and
green leaves.
On the same night, or during the after
noon, the rooms occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
James Corbin, over H. S. Crocker's store,
were robbed of jewelry valued at over $500,
consisting OF pair of diamond, earrings, a
pair of cut-gold earrings, a gold watch,
chain and locket, wedding ring, pearl
ring, another ring and pair of sleeve but
tons owned by roomer.
Yesterday morning man named Cook
picked up the lOcket and chain near the
depot end Of the Third-street bridge, which
he turned over to the police. The locket
contained Mr. Corbin's picture.
The police went to work on the case at
men, one of whom works in Corbin's
saloon and the other cooks at the house.
1t is thought that the one who works at the
saloon is the thief, as he was in the habit of
visiting the one at the house frequently
and as he suddenly left his place yesterday
The missing property, however, has not
vet been found

The cases of James Morrisey, charged
with attempting to vote illegally. and F. T.
Fitzgerald, charged with a felony in hav-
ing voted illegally, came up before Justice
Post at 100 p. N. Major Anderson ap-
peared as counsel for the defendants in
both cases. Aflidavits were filed by each
of the defendants, asking a change of
venue, on the ground that they had reason
TO believe and did believe that they could
not have a fair and impartial trial before
Justice Post, by reason of the bias and pre-
JUDGE of said Justice. Mr.. Anderson
made the motion for a change of venue
and Justice Post ordered both cases trans
ferred to the Court of Justice of the Peace
Davis, remarking that he did not want to
try any man who thought he would not
give him fair and impartial trial. Dis

the cases were set down for trial on Satur-
day next at 10 o'clock A. NJ Mr.. Anderson
has requested the Court to have short
hand reporter present to take down the
evidence in the Fitzgerald case. This case
seems to be attracting a great deal of atten-
ton, for beside the large number of wit
nesses subpenaed there were many spec
tators present at the proceedings yesterday.
The change of venue in these cases has
caused a great deal of comment and the
proceedings in Justice Davis Court will be
watched by the whole community with a
great deal of interest.

Four Bad Boys and a Bold Robber in
Court.
After rendering his decision in the Jen-
nings case, referred TO elsewhere, Judge

lar calendar.

pearance in Court again.

boys, and upon their promising not to COM
nit similar offenses in the future, Judge

Frauds and Outrages of March 18th.
There was an election in Sacramento
March 18th. The rough element, mar
shaded by the boss element and rein
forced by toughs" imported from San
Francisco, attempted to run the cleo
ton. They were stood off by the pres
ence of citizens at the polls, and hundreds
of illegal votes thus kept out of the ballot
boxes. A few arrests were successfully
made. In other cases prisoners escaped
in some cases certain of the police refused
to make arrests, or connived at lawlessness.
The following is the present condition of
cases against those charged with crime
who were arrested. There is need that the
hands of the prosecution be upheld, no
efforts are being spared to secure the &C
quittal OF all as yet untried. The bosses
do not desert their tools

who attempted to vote illegally at the Sac

One Thomas Reynolds was fined $50, and
Justice Post sentenced Nathan Sears and
William Redding to $50 days in the County
Jail or to pay fine of $3.50. About dozen
others will receive like sentences in day

of Illegal voting be discontinued, and the
punishment melted out by the Sacramento
Justices will be commended by all lovers of
