man of the Artillery.
The story of the killing of Gottleb Nome
mann, an assistant cook, by Private Albert
Blackman. at the Preside on The 18th inst,
was related in Police Court l yesterday
morning. The testimony was similar to
that introduced at the Coroner's inquest.
At the conclusion of the evidence the de-
fendant'S attorney made a motion to dis
miss the charge of murder against BLACK
man on the ground that the Stale courts had
no jurisdiction over crimes which occur on
military reservations. but the motion was
denied. No evidence was introduced for
the defense, and Judge Rix held Blackman
for trial without bonds.
When the case comes up for trial an at
tempt will be made by the defense to show
that Biackman Vas insane when he fired
the fatal shot. II thiuk | will be able to
show" says Attorney O'Byrne, that Black
man. who is as sensitive as a woman by
nature. has been pushed into the awful

Police Surgeon Williams is making an
analysis of the stomach of Claus Greve,
who died at the Prescott House on Wednes-
day, presumably from gas axphyxiation.
An examination of the stomach shows that
it was eaten by some corrosive substance,
and evidences of poison have already been
discovered. In her testimony before the
Coronerrs jury. Miss Greve, the niece of the
deceased, testified that he took something
out OF bottle, which has not been seen
since. 1t is now supposed that he swallowed
arsenic and then turned on the gas to kill
his niece or give evidence that his death
WAS accidental. The motive given for his
suicide is that he was in very bad health.
