THE aLAcKsa.r1sHER CASE,
Some Additional Testimony Taken Before
Justice DeYins.

Some Additional Testimony Taken Before
Justice Devine.
Three witnesses in the Glacken-Fi Fisher
murder case were examined before Justice
Devine yesterday. One of the witnesses
was Dr. Parkinson, who was re-examined
in regard to the nature of Glacken's wound
and the course taken by the bullet.
The witness testified that he had previously
testified that he believed the bullet was ex-
tfacted at point some ten inches higher
than that at which it entered, but yester-
day the witness testified that the point
where the bullet was extracted was some
four inches higher than where it entered
as be had recently discovered by actual
measurement. Owing to the conformation
OF the parts at the point of entrance, the de-
Elective tendency would be downward.
The point at issue was as to the angle at
which the bullet entered the body.
One of the Chinese witnesses, All Mong,
having testified that he went to Folsom by
train on the day before the shooting (which
was Sunday, j. L. ellis, Superintendent of
that line OF the railroad, was called, and he
testified that no regular trains were run on
that road on the day referred to, but said
there might have been a special, and if q
special, he could not say whether anyone
had been allowed to ride or not.
William Boles, hospital nurse, testi-
fed that he administered certain pills to
Fisher on the day his statement was taken,
but knew of their nature only from DR..
White. He was not allowed to state from
heresay of what the pills were composed.

READY FOR ANOTHER.
Maud Mason Escapes From the Charge
of Fleeing a Stranger.

Maud Mason Escapes From the Charge
of Fleeing a stranger.
The examination case of Maud Mason,
charged with grand larceny in taking 500
from an Italian, about two weeks ago, was
resumed in the Police Court last evening.
The prosecution called officers Wagner
and Stafford to the stand, to show that they
had difficulty in finding the defendant after
the complaint had been sworn to.
Officer Stafford testified that he arrested
her while she was about to leave on train
for San Francisco early one morning. She
denied having taken any money from the
prosecuting witness.
When the prosecution closed attorney
Devine moved that the defendant be dis
charged, OF the ground that a case had
not been made out against her. In support
OF his motion he made an extended argu-
ment, reviewing the facts of the case, and
claimed that there was nothing in the testi-
mony which would warrant the holding of
the defendant to answer
City Attorney Hart argued that there
were several circumstances which tended
to show the guilt of the defendant. The
case was not as strong one as might have
been submitted, but there was circumstan-
tiai evidence of very convincing and
pointed character.
Judge Buckley discharged the defendant.
He said he could not hold her on the testi-
mony. Personally, he believed the de-
fendaEt was guilty, but the evidence did
not warrant his holding her for trial.

Officer and Prisoner File Counter
Charges Against One Another.
About twenty witnesses were present in
the Police Court yesterday morning in ex-
pectation that the case of John Miller, who
was arrested by officer Gibson on Wednes.
day, would be called. City Attorney Hart
stated that no charge had yet been pre-
ferred against Miller, but there probably
would be one before Friday.
Attorney Essterbrook then asked that
the defendants bondsmen be exonerated.
He did not think it right for man to be
deprived of his libery when there was no
charge against him.
Judge Buckley said that any ordinary
citizen was as much entitled to freedom as
an officer, and he did not see any good rea-
son why complaint had not been filed, if
it was intended to prosecute the defendant.
He gave notice that he would discharge
the defendant if charge was not entered
by Friday.
After Court adjourned officer Gibson
swore to complaint charging Miller with
violating Ordinance No. 142, in allowing
his horses 10 wander along the streets with
out proper guidance.
Miller also had charge of battery en-
tered against Gibson, alleging that the off,
Ger used undue force in srrestipg him.

Joseph Bailey, Jr., and others came to his
relief and the robbers got away. They did
not succeed in getting any plumber.

A Stranger Vino Claims to Have Lately

A stranger has been calling on the
County and City Attorneys of late, de.
manding the arrest of somebody on q
charge of gaming. He admits that he has
been doing that same thing, and that he is
ahead of the game.
Possibly he is the same individual who
has been addressing communications to
this paper on the subject over another sig.
nature, and who called few days ago TO
learn why the wild productions had not
been published, although he then denied
their authorship, saying that he was acting
for another party.
The mans demeanor and actions, no less
than his writings, warranted the suspicion
that he is of the crank order.

LUvERNE, Minn., June 12.-The
Grand Army encampmeut closed to-
night. This was the third day and
most interesting of all. Over 5000 peo-
pie were present. The weather has
been fine during the entire time. The
forenoon programme was a competitive
drill of drum corps. There were three
contestants, Madelid, Worthington and
st. James corps. The Worthington
corps was victorious. Later occurred
competitive drill by the posts of the as
sociation. in which the Worthington
post carried off the banner. The Wor-
thington Sons of Veterans was the only
organization entered in the competition
sham battle was witnessed. Col. j. A.
Town commanded the fort and the at
tacking forces were under the COM
mand of Col. Philor Howes. The
conflict was waged furiously
for time, but the attacking
forces was too strong and compelled the
defenders to display the white flag.
The pyrotrchnic display at 8o'clock
this evening was undoubtedly the best
over displayed in this city. The races
this afternoon were fine, and called out
an immense crowd. Everybody is
highly pleased with the encampment,
and all the q. A. R. men join in saying
that Luverne has the best camp grounds
in the association, and that this the
sixth annual encampment of the asso-
citation was the best one ever held. The
association was found to be too large,
Luverne is in the one composed of the
four southwestern counties, and j. A.
Town, of WorthingtOn, has been elected
commander for the ensuing year.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The house
committee which is charged with the
preparation of a national election bill
OIL lines agreed upon by the last caucus,
has been industriously perfectlng the
details of the measure, and has so far
progressed as to be able to send rough
draft of the bill to the public printer.
When the proofs are returned the COM
mittee will meet again probably Sat.
urday next-and continue the work of
arranging details. Some of the changes
made already in the original Rowell bill
are: A provision that in cases OF con-
fiict betTeen the returns sent III Dy
state election officers and by those OF
the United States supervisors the latter
are to constitute prima facie evidence
of the right of the member to MS
seat; and provision that the
United States court within an elec-
ton district shall appoint board OF
three persons, representing Dotn poltl-
cal parties, to canvass the returns OF the
supervisors. A programme that is CIV
ing the committee some concern is now
to formulate provision for insertion in
the bill to carry out its desire to prevent
the wholesale and wrongful disfran-
chisement of voters, as alleged to pre-
vail in South Carolina, ana to meet the
alleged Virginia and North Carolina
fraudulent practices in connection with
the '.purging" of the lists of voters. 1t
appears that much difficulty is being
experienced in making the supervisory
system fill these needs; but the COM
mittee is confident of it's ability to solve
the question. 1t is expected that the
bill will be completed in time to permit
of it's submission to another caucus next
Monday.

ALBANY, N. Y. June IA new and
damaging development affecting the in
tegrity of an old and supposedly faith
full employe of one of the banks of the
city is in circulation this evening. The
discovery of the crookedheSS in the
Albany City National bank led to
systematic and careful examination of
every bank in the city. Until this
morning nothing had been discovered
out of the way in any one OF
them. But to-day, while
supplemental examination was being
pursued in an institution where some
suspicious entries had been made. the
evidence of guilt stood out in bold re
lief. 1t is that cashier of one OF the
banks of the city has been discovered TO
be short in his accounts between $30.O0O
and $4,000. A strong effort is being
made to withhold all of the facts from
the public. The rumOr was first cur
rent in the shape that another clerk IN
the City National bank was discovered
to have been in collusiOn with Whitney:
The bank officials and directors denied
that rumor in the most emphatic terms.
Ali seen stated that the only man In the
bank implicated in the affair was Whit
ney. The cashier effected is we'll
known, ana has always been highly re-
spected. Both his name and the name
of the bank are withheld for the pres
ent. There were no new developments
in the City bank robbery case to-day so
far as the United States officials are
concerned. But there was filed with
the county clerk to-day a paper OF con-
siderable interest to the stockholders in
the bank. 1t was satisfaction of the
first judgment of $4,000 to which the
firm of William Gould, Jr. & Co. con-
fessed. 1t was understood that the
judgment was satisfied by the turning
over to the bank of the stock, etc.,
owned bV the firm.
