Inc condition of Colvin, who was shot by
| y. u. Howell at Oakland, on Monday even
lns' seems to steadily improve, and the ply
| slclans think that his chances of living are
| good. While his condition was not so favor
able during the day. still it changed for the
| better again in the evening and he was rest
ing easily at midnight.
Some more of Colvin's correspondence
with Miss Howell has been made public,
"hlch shows the malevolent persisteney of
MS persecution Of the young lady. 1t bore
the date of June 16, 1891, and inclosed
proof Slip Of TRADE to be published in the
oracle. The matter inclosed was not pub
lished, however.
A man was discovered in the Office of c.
H. CoiVn On Thursday night by the woman
In charge OF the floor Of the building in
which the office is situated. He made his
escape. His purpose there is unknown, but
1t is supposed he was after the letters of
Perrle Maxwell to Il. S. Covin. They were
secure, however, for Colyin had put them
away in safe.
Deputy District Attorney Church yester-
day prepared complaint charging Perrie
Maxwell with being an accessory to the
assault to murder, and Colvin swore to it,
TO Mold him in case he is discharged on
habeas corpus. On the complaint war
RAM was Issued, and Howell and Maxwell
booked ON the City Prison register on q
charge OF assault to murder.
This proceeding will probably have its
effect ON the writ of habeas corpus issued
before by Judge Greene ON the petition of
Perrie MaxwelPs attorney and made re-
turnable at o'clock this forenoon. The
petition sets ferth that no complaint has
been filed charging him with any illegal act
overt or covert. and that he is ign GRANT of
the reason why he is restrained. No effort
was made by either Howell or Maxwell to
give bonds, but a large number of friends
called during the day and evening. Bail
hiss been fixed at $4,000 cash or $4,000
bonds.
no INFoRMER HAS APPEARED.

they do not care what becomes of the case
