BLOOD FAILED TO FLOW.
Asserted Their Innocence While Hol

Asserted Their Innocence While Hold
ing Murdered Woman's Hand.
The burglar who killed Mrs. Max Bos-
chinsky and her child has not yet been az
rested by the New York police. The in
terpreter who has been helping the police
made novel suggestion, telling them that
the Russian lower classes had superstition
that in the event of q person being muir
dered, if the murderer put his hand on the
body of his victim the wounds of the latter
would bleed afresh. Captain Ennis, alter
consulting Inspect or Reilly, determined to
test the idea. Officers were sent out with
instructions to bring to the undertaker's
Samuel Cohen, who lives on the floor below
the Boschinskys, Simon Feltman, who rents
the rooms at the rear Of those In which the
bodies were found. ana Max Lamberg, the
recent boarder in the Boschinsky family.
The policemen returned with the three
men. The body was placed in the center OF
the floor Undertaken Schilrz lifted the
sheet that covered the body Acting under
instruction from Inspector Reilly, Mrs.
forth and place his hand on the wrist of the
corpse. The man turned white to the lips,
but braced himself with an effort aud obeyed.
See, see" shrieked Mrs. Davis as Felt
man gripped the wrist Of the corpse, 'the
blood is coming to her face"
Feltman would have fallen to the floor IL
he had not been held up. But Mrs. Davis
imagination had deceived her, for no blood
had flowed.
IS Now ask God to forgive you for killing
this womaD," continued Mrs. Davis, looking
Feltman in the eyes. The man raised his
left hand and called solemnly on heaven to
witness that he was innocent
Lamberg was the next to undergo the or
deal. He was pretty nearly as agitated as
his predecessor had been. AS he touched
the wrist OF the dead woman he swore that
he was not her murderer.
Then came Cohen. He was ashy white,
and only came forward when commanded to
do so by Captain Ennis. In voice that
quvered with fear he, too, declared his in
nocence. After this curious scene was over
reporter noticed that the upper joint of
the thumb OF the right hand was bent in
ward at sharp angle. Inside this angle
was lump of clotted blood. A fuzzy"
look about the clot attracted the reporters
attention, and on closer examination he
found that some twenty or thirty hairs Of a
lightish-brown tint we're imbedded in the
blood. The attention of the police was
called to this, and the hairs were carefully
removed. They are of length and texture
of those on a mans head. A hair of a SINH
lar nature was found in scratch on the
left hand
The morning call., 1891-12-23
A READY RESPONSE.

The movement to establish q line of
steamers between San Francisco and New
Iork has met with ready response. This
movement is readily accepted as the key to
the situation. a comparatively small in
vestment, which will at the same time be
remuneratiye, will place the merchants of
San Francisco in position to deal with the
Southern Pacific Company on equal terms.
Some members of the Traffic Association
are still appreheDsive that the Southern Pa
cific will charge such rates from San Fran
cisco to the interior that the advantage of
lower rates TO the East will be lost. There
are two ways to check counter move Of
this nature. It is quite within the power
Of the peopla to elect State Railroad Com
mission which will teach the railroad COM
pany much-needed lesson. Another method
Is to use our rivers, where possible, and to
construct new system of railroads from
river landings to the inland valleys. The
latter remedy would take time, but the pre-
sumption is fair that the railroad company
would rather employ its road at fair re-
Enumeration than invite the construction of
a competing system. The Southern Pacific
Company has had the control of freight
rates so long that it will take time to realize
that it is subject TO competition like other
business companies and firms. Men go
down to the corner of Fourth and Townsend
streets and humbly ask the magnates en-
throned there for a reduction in freight rates
on a showing that the industry they repre-
sent cannot stand present charges. If the
company refuses to make concessions there
is no redress. The company knows that the
shipper has no other means at present of
getting his products to market 1t is not
presumed that the Traffic Association will
seek a war with the Southern Pacific.
What it will seek will be fair division of
profits between producers and carriers. If
an amicable arrangement cannot be reached,
however, war will be the result.

always a possibility of hay. But is the
outlook promising? By an overwhelming
majority the people demand that Wallace
be retained as Presiding Judge of the
Superior Court. But the boodlers have
marked him for slaughter, and the name of
his suecessor-an honorable mau-are they
not all honorable men, like Brutus ?-is in
everybody's mouth The people are crying
aloud for another jury like the one which
the Supreme Court has just knocked out.
But the professional jury fxers who prepare
the lists of suitable citizens to be named as
grand and trial jurymen by the Judges of
the Superior Court are already busy in
selecting men upon whom the boodlers can
rely. Hitherto they have vouchsafed to
dilute their cOnfederates with an Infusion
of honest men, whom it was intended to ex-
cuse at critical moments. Now the infusion
is to be very light indeed. They are not
going TO run risks.
The boodlers have at present control Of
our iuries and they will do their utmost to
continue that hold. We all realize that
there are men about the City Hall and in
Office who ought never to have been there.
These officials will have to give way ulti-
mately to better class of men, for it is not
to be believed that great city full of in
telligent persons will consent to have their
juries Systematically packed and important
offices filled by kuaYeS

had the craftsmanship of the Ways and
Means Committee If he would have prom
ised to accept the Crisp programme. But
Mills wanted to present bill which would
bring the tariff issue fairly before the coun-
try, and the Democrats have laid him on the
shelf for his persistency. 1t required some
nerve on Speaker Crisp's part to offer the
second place on the committee to the recog-
nized leader Of the House who had held the
first, but Crisp was equal to the occasion. SO
far as there is any principle in the tariff
platform which Speaker Crisp has adopted,
it is to let raw material in free and continue
the duties on imported goods. This plat
form will please the East better than the
West. But the West will be placated with
free binding Irvine. The great fight will be
over proposition to put raw wool on the
free list while continuing the duties on
wooden goods. 1t has been well said that
the present tariff is the only one we ever
had which protected the products Of forests
and farms as well as factories.
