THE WOLFF MURDER CASE.
Testimony introduced I'm Court
Yesterday.

Testimony 1ntfO0uced IN court
Yesterday.
The trial of Bertha Wolff, her hus-
band and Alfred E. Peterson on charge
of numbering Frank Wilson at San Juan
by-the-Sea in May last commenced yes
terday in Department No. 1 of the Su-
perior Court. The story of the murder
as told at the time involved some very
sensational points. TWAS alleged that the
VOLTS lived for some time at Alameda,
and that Wolff, after a prolonged alb
sence, returned home to find there an
infant Of which the paternity was con-
sidered doubtful by Wolff. The family
then moved to Santa Ana, wb.ore the al
le.ed intimacy vetween Peterson and
Mrs. Wolff was said to have been con-
timed. In the spring of this year Mr..
and Mrs. Wolff visited Frank Wilson's
cabin at San Juan-by-theSea and stories
we're told of how Mrs. Wolff expanded her
affectionate nature far enough to include
Wilson. About May 18th the VOLTS
and Peterson moved back to Santa Ana,
and about week afterward Wilson, who
had been to Santa Ana, was observed to
alight from the train in an intoxicated
condition. From this point on Messrs.
j. P. Kullman and Chas. H. Pope told
yesterday en- the witness stand the cir
cumstapces of the killing. Kullman had
heard four shots fred and had seen
Wolff fire the last shot at Wilson. After
this he had seen Wolff, Mrs. Wolff and
Peterson walk to their wagon and start
off. They were stopped by Pope and
himself and Mrs. Wolff had said that it
served Wilson right and she was glad of
what she had done.
Chas. II. Pope testified that he lived at
San Juan-by-the-Sea and knew Wilson,
who got off the train at II O'Clock on the
day of the murder. Wilson was drunk
and finally witness saw him go to the hotel.
Wolff, Mrs. Wolff and Peterson drove
up and Wilson stood and talked to Peter
son, who was in the wagon. The wagon
was then driven over to fence and the
horses we're tied. The occupants got out
and walked to the hotel. Witness then
passed out of sight and in few moments
heard two shots. He ran around and
saw Wilson on the ground trying to get
no. Wolff then fred the third shot and
then the fourth at Wilson. who, as the
last shot was fred, stiffened himself out
on his back and ceased to struggle. Wit
ness then got his rife and when he went
back to the hotel Wolff, Mrs. Wolff and
Peterson were getting into their buggy or
wagon. They started off and witness
told them to hold up their hands.
Peterson jumped out and threw up

Reign of Terror in Zanzibar.

LONDON, Dec 81 "A dispatch from Zanzi-
bar says the sultan has signalized his return
by a remarkable outbuist Of fanaticisni
which bodies 10 good to the peace and safety
of his subjects or security of European resi-
dents Tuesday morning he ordered the in
stant bcheading Of four natives charged with
murder but who had had no trial.
The sentence was carried out in the public
street with clumsy brutality, and the bodies
were suffered to lie wetering in their gore
until evening. The sultan proposes to re
peat this revolving spectacle every day for a
week, there being twenty-four men and
women under sentence of death
He announces that he will be guided in the
future by the Moharneian law. What
change this makcsmay be judged from the fact
that capital punishment has been unknown
on the island of Zanzibar for twenty-five
years. Thursday butcheries and threats of
others to follow have caused profound sen.
sation.
The whites are shocked and the blacks ter
rifed. Col. EVAN Smith the British political
agent, has waited upon the sultan and re
monstrated against these cruclties.

In the French senate.

LONDON, Dec 2l.-The debate of the
budget in the French senate Wednesday was
not only in itself an exciting incident. but
the fact was demonstrated conclusively that
Boulangism is rapidly spreading, and gaining
in influence, and also that tho government,
in spite of its heroic efforts to appear calm,
is positively alarmed thereat Probably
nothing that the government could have done
would lave had greater effect in estranging
it from the respect and confidence of the
populace than its action in the matter OF the
Panama canal bill and the dissolution of the
chamber of deputies, and the revision of the
constitution as a direct consequence of the
defeat of that measure, cannot much longer
be deferred.
The speech of Senator Challemel-L acour
has given the Monarchists to understand, if
indeed they needed TO be told, that their only
advantage lies in the direction of active sup
portof Cen Boulanger, and their future action
as allies of the men of destiny, covertly or
openly, is beyond the bounds Of doubt. 1t is
true that NJ Lacour deplored the downfall
of the empire, and mildly deprecated the
country prOstration at the feet of Boulan-
ger, but what are the Monarchists to do in
their present straits, if they do not join hands
with the only man in France strong enough
to overthrow the existing government, and
take their chances of utilizing his power in
their own interests later. This will undoubt-
eddy be the course they will pursue.
1t is bitter pill for them to swallow, but
it is perfectly plain that they must first ac-
cept the leadership of Boulanger, at least
tacitly, If they would ultimately lead him
and mould him to their purposes. That they
can do this is by no means certain, but the
experiment, from their point of view is
worth making and it is confidently predicted
by astutc politicians that it will be made.
The exuberance of the enthusiasm which
has seize1 the Servian radical peasants III
celebrating their recent election victories by
burning the houses of their political adver
saries will scarcely have the effect to clear
the political atmosphere in Servia and the
reaction which must take place after the
cheerful jubilation of the semi-barbarians is
over will doubtless afford Russia a pretext
for restoring order by overruning the coun
try with troops whose corrective atrocities
will canse the present outrages to appear in
