CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE.


Policeman Conboy Accused of "Fixing"
Witness.
colored man named Edward Turner,
accused Of criminal assault on Mary Mas
son, an old Russian woman, was before
Judge Murphy on trial yesterday.
The main circumstance of interest IN the
hearing was the testimony of Charles Kelly.
On the preliminary examination he testified
that he was present and saw Turner with
disarranged apparel, and heard the as
saulted woman cry out Yesterday, how
ever, he cOntradicted everything previously
said, and declared with grea deal Of en-
phasis that Turner did nothing out OF the
way at all. His former testimony, he said
was all lie.
''Ihen why did you swear it?' asked the
Judge, sternly.
Kelly explained that be did so at the in
stigation OF Policeman Conboy. The officer
came to him, he said, and represented that
the old woman was about TO die, and that if
she did, the fact that he was with Turner
would impicate him in case of murder.
Conboy showed him paper written on
both sides, one of which contained what he
was to swear TO.
Officer Conboy was Immediately sent for,
but testified that he did not show Kelly any
paper, or tell him anything at all In fact
gave the direct lie to everything Kelly had
said.
Mrs. Mason, the assaulted woman, testi-
fed through an Interpreter and SAID that
Turner did assault her. She lives at "A
Jessie street.
When the Judge had finished charging
the jury he made special reference to Kelly's
strange testimony, and said it was a case
deserving investigation. Either Kelly was
guilty of perjury or Conboy was guilty of
subornation of perjury, and if possible the
guilty man should be discovered and pun
ishtd.
The case went to the jury about half past
3 O'Clock, and at 9 80 in the evening a YER
dict of guilty as charged" was returned.

A POISONED CUP,

The Struggle of Wife to Prevent Her
Husband Taking Paris Green.
A few nights since, according to the Bal
timore Herald of recent date, George Ecke,
81 years of age, living at ZIG North Greene
street, attempted suicide by means of Paris
green. Ecke has been intoxicated for day
or two. and yesterday was very despond-
ent He is brick-layer by trade, and his
wife keeps a confectionery shop at the
above address.
Ecke entered the saloon of Mrs. Miller,
on Lexington street, near Greene, last
night, and ordered glass of beer. He told
Mrs. Miller as he went out that that was
the last glass of beer he expected to drink,
and displaying package, said he had
bought 10 cents worth of paris green and
was going home to give his wife and five
year-old little girl dose and takea dose
himself. DE said he had good wife and
child, but he was in trouble and desired
that all should die.
He went home and passed his wife in the
store, going to the rear room. as she sup
posed, to cat his supper. She went back
soon after and found him mixing the
poison with water in glass. He told her
OF his purpose and she tried to grab the
glass. They struggled for several minutes.

AFTER THE POACHERS
The Charleston Takes Supplies
and Sails North.
Her Departure Viewed as a Determination
on the Part Of the Government to
Protect the Seals.

Late yesterday afternoon dispatch was
received at the Merchants Exchange from
Newport, Yaquina Bay, Oregon, as follows
United States steamer Charleston arrived from
Honolulu. Took supplies and sailed north.
WINANT.
There were few subscribers in the ex-
change at the time, but the news spread
and the room soon filled up with seafaring
men who discussed the significance of the
dispatch. At first it was disbelieved, for
the reason that no commander would take
deep-water steamer like the Charleston
into such place as Yaquina Bay. 1T
would be too risky" was the general COM
ment. Then again, 1t was argued, why
should the Charleston go to such place as
Newport for supplies? Her principal need
would be coal, they said, and there were
more convenient places than Newport to
get it. When however, the sender's name
was considered doubt vanished and the ut
most credence was placed in it. Captain
Winant commands the steamer Mischief,
and reports from HIM have never yet been
diseredited on Change.
The significance of the departure of the
United States revenue cutter Corwin sew
eral days ago from Port Townsend for
Behrlng Sea, and the sailing Of the Charles
ton yesterday for northern waters, was too
marked not TO excite serious comment. The
general impression is that the admnistra-
ton means business this time, and that the
poaehing sealers will have to beware.
1t Is thought by many that while the
cruiser was lying in Honolulu her COM
mander received orders from Washington
on the termination of the Behring Sea cor
respondenee, to coal and proceed to Alaska
to aid i'll suppressing the illegal destruction
of the seals. Others take a calmer view of
the situation and do not place any signifi-
canoe in the coincidence. They think it
means no more than trip south. The
general impression, however, was that the
cruiser was not sent north on pleasure
jaunt
Information has been received in this
city that the pOachers have been making
large hauls during the absence of the
United States war vessels, and the number
OF their catch for the season has been
placed at q, COO seals, and that the great er
part OF the skins have been landed in Vic
toria and purchased by the Liebes Com
pany.
1t is considered probable that the Gov
eminent has learned these facts and has
determined to protect those to whom 1t
gave the exclusive rights of sealing in the
Behring Sea.
Whatever the mission of the Charleston,
her sailing north at this critical period Of
controversy causes her departure to be
looked upon as significant of the deter
mnation of the Government to stop the
poaching at all hazards.

A THOROUGHBRED RASCAL.

The Remarkable Criminal Career of j..
b. Stock.
A leading firm of solicitors received let
ter from their correspondent at Watertown,
n. Y, which contains the latest chapter in
the history of refugee from American
justice named j. B. Stock, who was wanted
in Philadelphia and New York for forgery
when he arrived here eight years ago, says
a special to the ST. Louis Republic from
Montreal. dated August 18th. Here he beat
widow who had taken him into partner
ship out of $4,000 and with it started a
stock, oil and grease company. Stock lived
in Cote ST. Louis, suburb of Montreal,
where he became pillar of the Methodist
Church and President of the Royal Temp
lars of Temperance
AT this time he had living here three
wives, one at Cote st. Louis, with two
children; one at st. Albert and one at SUIT
remont, with one child. All these places
are suburbs of Montreal, and how he kept
the three women apart is hard to explain.
The grease company did not pay, and he
fled after committing the forgery, taking
with him the money he had collected to
purchase an organ for his church. Detec-
tiyes looked in vain for him, but the letter
in question states that he went to Ogdens-
burg, where he failed to form a partnership
with Mr.. Shelton, and thence to WATERFOWL
There he went into business with Mr..
Wood, but in the absence of his partner
he induced his wife to turn all her property
into cash, and the two eloped to gether, leav-
ing their families. They went to Chicago,
where they bought tickets for San Fran
cisco, but further than that their move
ments have not been traced.

Death by Dynamite.

DALLAS (Tex.), August 16.-The partcu-
lars of horrible dynamite accident were
received in this city to-day. Rev. Stem
mons and party of young men friends
went down to McCormick's Bluff on the
petition. Stemmons has frequently 'dyna-
mited' the river for fish, although often
times warned against the practice. Yester-
day he held two large dynamite cartridges
in his hands and announced that he was
going to use the same. His companions
shrank back. Stemmons hurled one of the
cartridges into the stream and slight ex-
plosion followed. An instant later second
report fairly shook the surroundings and
Frustrated the entire party. Young Stem
mons eyes were blown from their sockets,
his left hand was torn away above the
wrist, and his right leg below the knee
was blown to atoms. He lived for five
hours.-Special to the St. Louis Globe

the source of much anxiety to his wife.

DISCOURAGED W,,Iow.Workers.

The willow workers have decided to
change their name to the Rattan workers
Protective Union. This move comes about
from their failure to secure the co-Opera-
ton of all the willOw-workers in theiI
efforts to combine and strengthen the in
dustry. In spite of all they could do or
say they found it impossible to shut out
the deluge of willow-ware from Europe,
and there was no use trying to compete
against it. Committees were appointed to
reconstruct the constitution and bylaws
and procure new seal; also a circular was
issued To wine and liquor merchants asking
them not to buy German willow-covered
glassware any more. The legitimate bust
ness of this union hereafter will be rattan

FIELD OF LABOR.
Party Politics to Play a Very
Prominent Part.

Delegates Bushnell and Thurman. who
waited on the San Jose Convention for the
Federated Trades in the interest of the Au-
stralian ballot system, returned here yester-
day highly gratifed with the Democratic
platform. They say it has recognized the
efforts of the lab0ring classes to secure
ballot reform. and the laboring classes in
return express themselves as duty bound
out of gratitude to recognize and aid the
party. The delegates said they had little or
no trouble to get hearing, in fact the
plank was practically in place in the plat
form before the hearing was asked. The
general opinion among the labor leaders
now is that the Federated Trades can pur-
sue but one course, approve of the conven-
tons action and adopt its platform. This
will come hard on those who are hide
bound, they admit, but they feel obliged to
recognize the only great issue they have IN
the coming campaign.
