BRoMwELL sEDUCED MS WIFE,


Why Insurance Agent Pratt Shot His
Employer.
SAN Francisco, May 5.-The taking of
testimony in the trial of George G. Pratt
for shooting L. l.. Bromweil, president of
the California Insurance Company, Janu-
ary 24th. began today. Daniel Mayo, di-
rector of the company, testified that Pratt
acknowledged at the time the deed was
committed that he had shot Bromweli.
President Bromwell was called and told
the story of the shooting. He states that
he did not think Pratt was in his right
mind at the time, and q number Of other
witnesses conceded in this view.
The most sensational festure of the case
today was the testimony of defendant. He
related that on his return from q trip to
Japan. where he gone on business for the
insurance company of which Bromwell was
president. he found his wife a
physical wreck. and took her to
Napa for treatment He soon learned
Bromwell to y resort near Oakland called
the Hermitage, and had also lunched with
him in San Francisco. He charged his
wife with these actions, and she admitted
that she had visited these places with
OIOmW ven 0uo S0Au Suc uo0 OcCu
foolish. but had done nothing criminal.
On his wife's suggestion he sent for
Henry Wadsworth, who had been . close
friend. to consult with him on the subject.
After Wadsworth had an interview with
Mrs. Pratt he assured witness that Mrs.
Pratt was good woman and had been
guilty of nothing more than indis-
cretion. This matter preyed on witness
mind and, finally, on the night
before the shooting he asked his wife
to prove to him that she was
q good woman. She then acknowledged
that Bromwell had ruined her, and that
Wadsworth knew all about it. Pratt was
greatly affected during this part of
the recital. He described the wretched
condition of mind in which he
found himfelf after his wife
confession. He said that next morning he
armed himself with . revolver, not know
ing whether he intended to kill himself or
Brommell. At this point the court ad-
iourned till morning.

OLYMPIA, May 5.-The state bonds,
amounting to $4,000. authorised by the
legislature to cover the territorial debt,
were signed by Governor Ferry today.
They were at once dispatched for New
York, where they have been sold At 81 per
cent, with e per cent premium
This is lower rate than any other bonds
in the United States. the next lowest being
1 per cent
The state has an option to redeem these
bonds in five or fifteen years. The saving to
the state is readily estimated. The warrants
were drawing 10 per cent This is . saving
of Ga per cent. or $3.50 per year. II the
period of fifteen years is made available.
$97 800 will be the absolute saving TO this
state.

WAsHIsGroH CrrY, May 5-AfteY ad-
journment of the House this afternoon the
Republican members assembled in confer
ence to decide upon the party's policy in
reference to the tariff DILL The river and
harbor bill managers made strenuous ef-
fort to have that appropriation bill made .
special order for consideration to con-
ciusion before the tariff bill is taken up,
and Representative Henderson made .
statement of the reasons why
this should be done. A majority
OF the members could not be
made take his view, for it was decided, 80
TO 10. that the tariff bill was . matter of
prime importance and should be called up
Wednesday. 1t was agreed that general
debate shall 60 on for few days. Wednes-
DAY, Thursday. Friday and Saturday of
this week, with night sessions for speeches
Eight days shall then be allowed for con-
sideration Of the bill by paragraphs under
the fve-minute rule.
On May 2l the previous question on final
passage OF the bill is to be considered
ordered by special rule TO be adopted.
The river and harb0r men made another
effort, this time asking to have adopted .
special rule providing for consideration of
their bill Immediately after final action
upon the tariff bill, but again they were
defeated. There was some talk about the
remaining business before congress, and i
became evident that the general feeling
was that final adjournment would be
reached about the middle of July. The
members of the committee on rivers and
harbors feel indignant over the manner
in which their bill WAS side tracked. They
appreciate the fact that unless early action
is taken upon that measure il may fail by
reason of lack of time for due considera-
tion by the Senate. Accepting the newt
able. however, they are determined to
press for consideration as soon As the tariff
bill is out of The way and antagonize all
other legislation until the river and harbor
bill is disposed OF.
The Senate committee on public lands
has authorized Senator Allen to favorably
