IT Was KIDNAPPING.
The Supreme Court Holds That Con-
stable Flick Was Guilty,
1t Slightly Modiffes the Judgment, but
Not to the Extent of Ordering
Him Liberated.

An opinion of the Supreme Court was
filed yesterday in the case of The People
VS.. Flick appellant Flick was indicted
by the Grand Jury of San Joaquin
County for the crime Of kidnapping. On
his trial the jury found him guilty. He
was denied a new trial, and judgment
was given that he be imprisoned in the
State Prison for eight years. He appealed
the case from this Judgment.
1t was shown on the trial that the de-
PENDANT was, at the date of the alleged
commission of the offense charged, a
Constable in Placer County. On March
q, 1890, there was delivered to him a
warrant, issued by Justice of the Peace.
commanding him to arrest one Toy Fong
and bring her before him (the Justice). or
before the nearest and most accessible
magistrate of the county. The defend
ant arrested the woman, whose name was
Toy FOng, in San Joaquin County. He
took her to Placer County, but did not at
any time bring her before the Justice of
the Peace who issued the warrant. or any
other magistrate. Instead, he left her at
the house of one "China Molly" the per-
son on whose complaint the warrant was
issued.
flick, IN appealing, assigns as error va
rious rulings of the court in the adInis-
sion of testimony and in giving and re-
fuSing instructions.
The Supreme Court says ''the lower
court did not err in admitting evidence
that the general reputation of the house
in which China Molly lived was of i'll
fame"
It also refers to the fact that Constable
Swift Of Sacramento accompanied Flick
to San Joaquin County and arrested the
woman's husband, Go Sam, and. bring
ing him back, kept him in Jail for two
days and then released him on bail.
The prosecution III the Flick case was
permitted to show that Go Sam was inno-
cent Of the charge for which he was ar
rested, and in commenting upon this por-
ton of the evidence the Supreme Court
says it ought to have been excluded, but at
the same time its admission could not
have prejudiced the case OF the appellant
In conclusion, the higher court says
the question of the defendants good
faith in what he did was fairly submitted
to the jury, and his conviction was not
made to depend upon the mere fact that
he had not followed the authority given
him by law, and the evidence was amply
sufficient to justify the verdict ofthe Jury
1t is ordered that the judgment appealed

WASHINGTON, May l9.-Not word of
news Of the Charleston or Itata has been
received Mt the Navy Department to-day.
A cablegram came from Admiral Brown,
aboard the San Francisco, now at Iqui-
que, Chile, but Secretary Tracy declined
to say what news it contained.
Secretary Tracy said tonight that the
Charleston could seize the Itata in Chilean
waters, but declined to say whether she

from the Charleston before she reaches
Panama.
NAY RESORT TO DESPERATE MEANS.
NEW YORK, May ia special to the
M0iJ and Express from Acapulco says:
1t seems now certain that the Esmeralda
must have recourse to some desperate
means to secure coal, for coal she must
have if she is TO get back to Chile. 1t is
announced to-day that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company ordered its agent
here not to sell the Esmeralda any coal
under any circumstances. This order
was communicated TO the commander of
the ESmeralda. and it is now thought eX-
tremely probable the Chilean vessel will
take coal by force. This is thought more
probable, as il is now almost certainly
known lndJ tnG ESLlGrdlUaS captain IS
now in command of the Itata, having
boarded her when the two vessels met off
this port on Friday night Should the
acting Captain of the Esmeralda decide
TO take coal by force there is absolutely
nothing to prevent him from hauling his
vessel alongside the coal hunks and TAX
ing what he wants, for the forts are
worthless as against modern ordnance,
and the Esmeralda could, if molested,
lay Acapulco in ruins in half an hour.
The Mexican authorities will hardly be
likely to offer any opposition to power
ful ship like the Esmeralda, and thus
bring a bombardment upon the town.
There is intense excitement.
THE ESMERALDA LOADS COAL.
CITY OF MEXICO, May ia dispatch
from Acapulco says: 1t is believed that
the Esmeralda secretly loaded some coal
and was to receive more to-day outside
Z the harbor.
THE ITATA OUT OF REACH.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 19.-Dispatches
from the Pacific Coast seem to indicate
that the Itata is already far out of reach
of the Charleston. From these dispatches
it also appears that the Itata passed out
side Of Acapulco Friday last, and the
Charleston reached port Saturday. The
Esmeralda is still at Acapulco awaiting
coal, which is said to have been ordered
from the United States.
