WHERE IS baldwin,

Judge CravenS Declares He VIII Not
Discharge Moiluslx and Dunn.
Judge Cravens was angered yesterday
morning when he learned that John Bald
win, the prosecuting witness in the cases
of George Mollusk and Tom Dunn,
charged with battery, was not TO be found
by the officers. Attorney Easterbrook
asked that the defendants be discharged,
but the Judge cut him short in his re-
marks by declaring that he would do no
such thing.
II think this complaining witness has
acted very strangely" said Judge Crav-
ems. HE came down here and swore to
complaint, the allegations of which, if
true, showed that both the defendants
were guilty of very serious battery. At
any rate, there is something strange
about his actions since the case was called
for the first time, and l think the, matter
needs investigation. / want to find out
why this party left town, and / propose
to do SO, if it is possible"
Mr.. Easterbrook was about to say that
it would be unfair to keep the defendants
under bonds any longer. but the Judge,
evidently suspecting that thew might
have had a hand in spiriting away the
complainant, replied with much warmth:
"No, sir; will not dismiss these cases. L
am going to continue them from day to day
for q year, if necessary, until that defarilt-
ing witness is brought here. 81 will call
them again on Monday"
The Judge dropped COPY of the code
heavily on the table as evidence that he
meant what he said.

RIGHTS OF OFFICERS.
Constable Brisseil Complains of Pro
posed Enactment

posed Enactment.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Senate bill No.
20, introduced by Senator Heacock, reads
as follows:
Section 1. A new section is hereby added to
the Penal Code, to be numbered Section $50,
and to read as follows: No marshal or police
man of any town, city, or city and county
criminal process outside of the corporate linn
its OF the town, city, or city and county in
which such marshal or policeman may be
elected or appointed; and no Constable shall
serve any warrant Of arrest or other criminal
process outside of the township in which he
is elected or appointed.
Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect immedi-
ately.
AS Constable I must say that it seems
to me to be burning shame for any man
who intends to protect the interest and
property, and may say, the lives of the
citizens and taxpayers, of the State, to
introduce bill such as this.
In the first place, policeman may have
warrant for man who at the time of
receiving the warrant may be inside of
the city limits. He may try to escape,
and may reach the city line.
Is that officer to turn back and hunt up
a Constable to serve that warrant? And
then again, the Constable, after receiving
the warrant from the policeman, starts
out and in the pursuit of the criminal
IullS uiil 70 Inc low SDlp line, Is he TO
then turn back and hunt up the Sheriff
to pursue him further?
1t seems to me that to meet the ends of
justice and to protect life and property
the policemen, Marshals and Constables
are already handicapped enough without
placing such shackles on them.
We now have too much law and too
little justice. Every day murderers and
thieves escape from receiving their just
dues because of some technicality in the
law or for some other reason known and
found to suit the purpose.
do hope that the members of the Sem
ate and Assembly will not let this bill
pass, but, instead, give policemen, Mar
sllals and Constables mere scope, and let
us have less murders, less burglaries, less
robberies and less crime which is in vio-
lation of law and common decency. Give
us, in cities of 10000 inhabitants, police
force of thirty men, and also give to the
Constables the right to serve criminal or
civil papers anywhere in the county in
which they are elected or appointed.
JOHN p. BRIssELL, Constable.

Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal of yes
terday approved.
CAMPBELL VS.. EARLE.
Mr.. Bruner, after stating the facts rela-
tive to the resolution offered by him on
yesterday, and adopted, requiring the
Committee on Elections to report the con-
tested case of Campbell VS.. Eakle on
Monday next, and the motion subse-
quently made by MIR. Shanahan to recon-
slider the vote on the same, followed by
his (Bruner's) motion to indefinitely post
pone the motion to reconsider, which last
motion was pending when the House adj
jeurned, inquired of the Speaker in what
condition that left the resolution which
had been passed.
The Speaker-The original resolution
before the House was one inStructing the
Committee on Elections and Privileges
to make report in the Campbell VS..
Eallle case on next Monday. That reso-
luton was adopted and became the order
of the Assembly. There was afterwards
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the resolution was adopted, and upon that
there was motion to indefinitely post
pone: and upon that followed a mo-
ton to adjourn, and the adjournment
of the House. The question is: Did the
adjournment affect the original resolu-
II. w
report at a certain time? The decision of
the Speaker is that it did not; that the
original resolution was complete in itself,
and the motion to reconsider and subSe-
quent motions were not subsidiary to it.
and the result of those motions could in
no wise affect the original resolution, ex-
cept in the event that the reconsideration
had been ordered, when the original
resolution instructing the committee
would have come again before the House,
and, being before the House, would, of
course, have been affected by any subse-
Quent motion.
Mr.. Shane han-It appears by the
journal that the gentleman from Hum
boldt moved that my motion to recon-
slider be made the special order for this
morning. Do | understand the Chair TO
rule that that did not carry the motion to
reconsider over to this morning, with the
whole resolution attached?
The Speaker-That is a different propo-
sition. The House did not pass on the
motion of the gentleman from Humboldt
Mr. Scandinavian that is am I'M
determined question at this time.
The Speaker-No, 1t is a determined
question so far as it affects the original
motion rrhe Speaker here read at length
from Cushing's Manual in support of his
position). / have looked into this ques-
ton, and it seems to me that there are not
two ways TO it; and of course shall de-
eide that while the motion to reconsider
goes under the head of unfinished BUSH
ness, it does not carry the original propo-
,yition instructing the committee with it,
Mr.. Shanahan-I appeal from the decis-
ioiI OF the Chair. ~
Mr.. Martin asked n. in case the decis-
of t,,e chair was sustained, the motion to
reconsider could be brought up during
the day.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1891-01-25

The Speaker answered that it could if
that order of business was reached, or by
a two-thirds vote suspending the rules.
Mr. Martin said that being the case, he
would vote to sustain the Chair.
The Speaker stated that he understood
an arrangement had been made by which
the Committee on Elections would be
granted further time, whereupon Mr..
Shanahan asked leave to withdraw his
appeal, but the Chair desiring the
question of parliamentary law involved
to be passed on by the House that pre-
cedent might be had for the future, a
vote was taken and the decision sus-
tained-ayes 45, noes 5.
Mr.. Barnett of San Francisco moved
that the rules be suspended and the order
of unfinished business taken up. Agreed
to.
The question then coming on the mo-
ton to Indefinitely postpone the motion
to reconsider the vote by which the reso-
luton requiring the Committee on Elec-
tons to report the case on Monday next,
Mr.. Bruner withdrew it. The vote by
which the resolution passed was then
reconsidered.
Mr.. Bruner moved that the resolution
be amended SO as to give the committee
until Wednesday next to report, which
amendment was agreed to, and the reso-
luton, as so amended, adopted.

The Sacramento RECoRD-UNIoN, with
its new dress, new makeup and printed
on the new Goss perfecting press, now
stands a fair chance CT being named the
best paper in the State. The RECORD
UNION is ahead of all for reliability, and
its recent adoption of the plan to publish
all the Supreme Court decisions in full,
in photographic form, makes it an indis-
pensable medium for the lawyers and
Judges of the State. Its new press has
been christened BESSIE" in honor of the
youngest daughter of William III. Mills,
the man who has done more effective
work for California than any man in it.

Gen. Kelley also told the story of his cap
ture with Crook. In February, 1865, when
the war was closing and vigilance on the
Upper Potomac was relaxed, an audaciOus
little band Of rebel guerrillas under Capt.
O'Neal made night dash into Cumberland,
dragged Gems. Kelley and Crook out of bed,
and carried them off, all in the twinkling of
an eye, The plan was laid by one OF the
guerrillas, Jim Daley by name. harum-
scarum fellow, who was a brother-in-aw of
Crook. Gen. Crook had married Mary Dali
ley "a pretty Irish girl, ont of a rebel family
at Oakland, the daughter Of tavern keeper,
and her brother Jim thought it would be a
very smart thing to make the capture. But
the guerril1as took Kelley along, too. They
were taken to Richmond, by way of the
Shenandoah Valley, as prisoners of war. On
reaching Staunton, rhe distinguished prison
esr were taken to Early's headquarters. The
great rebel leader received them very hos
pitably. Be regretted that the fortunes of
war made IL necessary for him to regard
them as prisoners rather than as guests.
Then he said to Kelley;
II intended to have had the pleasure my
self of capturing you and your supply train
at Hedgesville, but you mysteriously gave
me the slip, and you didn't leave a cracker
behind. My army lwent without breakfast
that morning, Sir! had ESTIMATED that it

mitted Of no misconstruction and of no jug.

than as demand for the free and unlimited
coinage of the silver dollar. The result is
that the Democratic orators are compelle,
to meet this question squarely in the pending

there that Boss German of Maryland hat
not taught the Democracy previous to tn,

that could be construed by the opponents OF

The Texas legislature did not quite score
ten In the laws it passed. One law provides
that there shall be on railroads separate cars
for white and colored people, and that none
of one kind of people shall be allowed In the
cars Of the other. The law had not been In
operation long when an old negro "mammy''
put in an appearance with white baby In
her arms. The enforcement of the inexora-
BILE rule in this.case made no end of noise and
confusion. Soon after there was political
convention at Austin. and the trains were
crowded. In the white cars white people
stood crowded In the aisles, while In another
portion of the train eight negroes rode in
magniflcence with car all to themselves,
So far this law does MT work we'll In prac.
tice. Another unfortunate law was the
''scalp" act, similar to our crow and bear
bounty laws. Only in Texas they provided
that the counties should pay the bounties
and that many kinds of wild animals should
be included In the prescription. The result
is that several western counties are fndine
their treasures bankrupted by hunters who
are making bounty getting a profitable bust
