assistance of other officers, the Golding fam

pended pending Investigation. AS result
of the hearing in the Police Court the Gold
ings were held to answer. and the Commits
sioners decided therefore to restore Mott 10
duty, which will enable him to draw some
three months back pay.
The main business OF the session. how
ever, was the investigation into the charges
by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Gunzen-
durfer against Off er j. T. Stewart, to the
effect that Stewart had limited to him that
there was $3.50 ''in it for them" to secure a
continuance in the case of Joseph Lynch,

on the top floor, and about o'clock yester-
day afternoon was found dead, hanging to
q small hempen rope.
He had tied the rope to a hat-hook and
then SLIPPED moose over his neck. His
feet rested on the floor and he had strangled
himself by letting the weight of his body
tighten the moose. The remains of the
suicide have been removed to the Morgue.
The Coronet's deputies ascertained last
night further details concerning the suicide,
whose real name proves to be j. II. Bacon.
He was about 45 years OF age and the
father OF two children. For some time he
kept candy-store on Broadway, Oakland,
between Ninth and Tenth streets, having a
residence at 222 Ninth street, Oakland. Two
months ago lie became insolvent, and this
weighed so heavily on him that he became
very Respondent.
His effort to end his existence was most
determined one. The Deputy Coroner
found evidence that ne had tried In the room

terent cast-iron coat pegs, both of which
broke under his weight. lie finally found,

sign, but TO reach this nail he had to re-
move wash-stand, which was full of petty
articles, none Of which he disturbed while
loving 1t.

smothered on Tuesday evening, one week
ago, by falling into mud bank on the
shores of Lake Merritt. He had to remain
in that uncOmfOrta BILE position for several

rested at ROseviIle junction on suspicion,
was released to-day and continued his jour
ney to the Challenge mills. He established
a clear alibi. Constable Penr0se and Phil
Folke, who left North Bloomfield Friday
morning in pursuit of George Clarke, got
home last night empty-handed. They struck
ClaTke's trail, which was fifteen hours old,
a mile east OF North Bloomfield. and fol-
lowed it over mountains and through can
yOns by way of Murphvs Ranch, on TO
Grouse Ridge, in the Gesolate region known
as Gods Country.
They came to a deserted cabin Saturday,
where Clarke had halted in his fl ght long
enough to build fire and make coffee. The
trail then led to the western border OF
Meadow Lake District where it WAS lost.
The pursuers went t. the ruins of Summit
City, where they found old man Hartley,
the pioneer prOspector, and he escorted
them to tie mine Of John Clarke. They
watched Clarke's cabin till dark, then made
q descent or it. John received them cor

bad passed there on foot Friday night. He
was headed over the mountains for the
northern counties of Oregon.
When George Clarke came Into this part
OF the State seven years ago he was known
by the name of Hamilton. OF late years he
has been making frequent mysterious
trips from home giving Sacramento as
his destination, and being gone from
one to three weeks. His neighbors
have noted that while he was thus absent
they generally heard of a railroad or stage
robbery on some part Of the Coast. When
Pratt, the commercial traveller, was shot
from ambush on the DOwnieville road, near
Niger Tent, two years ago, and the robbers
lost the treasure by reason Of the horses
running away with the body, Clarke was
suspected by some officers. but they could
