BERNER'S DEATH.
A Doctors Fatal Error-What
Mrs. BruilIard Saw.

The preliminary examination of William
Sullivan and Michael Dolan, charged with
the murder of Gustav Berner at the corner
of Mission and Thirty-frst streets, was
held yesterday before Police Judge Rix.
Ex-Judge Koran appeared for Sullivan and
j. ID. Sullivan for Dolan. The prosecution
was conducted by Prosecuting Attorney
Dunno
DR.. NJ. NJ. Estes, who made the autopsy
at the Morgue on the body of Berner, testi-
fed that he had found the skull fractured
and vessels of the brain congested. The
cause of death was meningitis from frac-
ture OF the skull. The fracture might have
been caused by blunt instrument, such as
could be formed by placing rock or stone
in piece of cloth.
The defense cross examined the witness,
beginning with questions about Dr. Estes
experience as physician and study in the
Medical Department of the University of Cal
lfornia. Regarding the cause OF death wit
ness was positive, and said had the fractured
skull been lifted into its proper place in all
probability Berner would have been alive
and well to-day. He was treated for pueu-
monia. The bone should have been lifted
Immediately after the breaking. The
wound was not necessarily fatal, but as the
case was not properly treated death ensued.
In reply to question by Judge RiX, wit
ness said that lifting fractured skulls is
quite successful treatment The pressure
of the bone upon the membrane of the
brain causes meningitis, aud then death.
Mrs. ID. Bruillard testified that she lived
opposite Horstman's saloon where Berner
was killed. On the night of April 10th last
she heard noise in the saloon and looked
across the street. She saw Berner 10 the
saloon and two young men walking up and
down outside. Her description of the
young men fitted exactly that of the de-
PENDANTS. Berner left the saloon with
can of beer. and meeting the young fellows
on the sidewalk became involved in quar-
rel Berner threw the beer upon one of the
men and fell at the same instant. Witness
heard one of the young rowdies say to the
other: You kill the -" One
rowdy had a handkerchief in his right
hand. She could not identify the hood
lums. After the row DOlan's father and
Horstman took Berner from the street and
attended TO his wounds.
Mrs. Bruillard told Mrs Berner of the
affair, and as she had heard Horstman
would deny everything about the fatal
quarrel. she made 1t as public as possible in
the Mission.
The further hearing of the case was set
for next Wednesday,

VIOLETS,

- LUE and white, in soft array,
y Over the meadows the yioIets lay,
0Lowly and meek, as II kneeling to pray.
A little brook goeth murmuring by,
Singing its tenderest lullaby,
While softly the Yiolets stir and Sigh,
And to the MOSES gently cling,
And dainty bits of color fling
Over the meadows wavering.
List as they whisper, soft and low,
To the warm earth-hesrt below.
Where all sweet treasures spring and grow.
And the sweet bird, in yonder tree.
Sings TO the Violets merrily,
Sending his heart out cheerlly.
And fleeing shadows come and go
Over the grasses, soft and slow,
Down where the blossoms bloom below.
Little Violets. dainty and fair,
This one brief hour, oh, let me share
The spirit of your sweetness rare.

A meeting of the Election Commissioners
was held yesterday morning. at which Reg

met with better success than he had antlci-
pated in securing polling-places and rooms
for precinct registration for the next cleo
ton. In consequence. the proposed cree
ton of wooden voting booths was post
poned, until it is definitely asc ertained how
many will be required.
The board decided to erect a wooden
structure, 30x60, on the Market-street side
of the new City Hall. This is rendered
necessary by the smallness Of the room
heretofore used for the purpose.
