Russelfs Comedians will appear at the
Metropolitan Theater Friday and Satur-
day evenings next. The leaders in the
combination are the brilliant soubrette
and widely-known vaudeville actress.
Fay Tcmpleton, and the old-time favorite
and thoroughly capable man, Charley
Reed. The piece-a farce comedy-in
which they will appear is entitled Miss
MoGinty, of the Coincide Francaise," 1t
is said ofthe piece that it is the climax of
farcical fun, in which every line creates
laughter, and every situation Il

the company there are twenty people, all
of metropolitan reputation. The COM
pany Is a very expensive one, and so
much so that no engagements will be
written for it on this coast except for Sac
ramento and San Francisco. A dispatch
of Sunday from Cincinnati to the San
Francisco press says that since .sShenan-
doah's' success there have been no such
large throngs of people in the theaters of
Cincinnati as have crowded in to see
Miss McGinty.v The company, it is
added, played in that city for week
and the business done was the largest on
record. 1t is added that several times on
the last night the action of the play had
to be interrupted to give the audience
opportunity to exhaust its manifestation
of approval. At the conclusion, there
was presentation of floral pieces and an
informal reception on the stage, large
numbers of people going forward to con-
graduate the actors. The company left
Cincinnati Sunday night in special cars
direct for Sacramento. The box sheet
opens at the Metropolitan Thursday

further talk he said he would go inside
and see her, and then let the witness
come in. While he was inside the officer
arrived.
George H. Heisch, son-in-law of the
deceased, was the next witness, He said
he had heard frequent quarrels between
Mr.. and Mrs. Forgous, but did not know
what it was about, as they talked in
French. He had choked and struck her,
but she would never tell of it. He was
man that drank great deal,'' said
Heiseh, .'and had bad temper. Once he
drove her out of the house and kept her

has often said that if any one tried to
separate him and his wife he would kill
them all off,
FoRGoUs' THREATS.
In answer to questions from City At
torney Hart, Mr.. Heisch said that on
Christmas Forgous wrote something on
the back of photograph and gave it to
his wife. She read it, and tore it up i'm
mediateiy and put the pieces on a shell,
where he (the witness) found it to-day.
The pisces of the photograph were
produced and handed to Interpreter
and read it to the jury. It read,
in effect: You are looking for some
thing, madam, that VIII end badly for
you-bad for me, but worse for you. You
are going against my viii. Time viii
tell that I am right" 1t was signed by
Forgous.
Eugene Lamet testified that he was ac-
quainted with Mr.. and Mrs. Forgous.
the latter was employed by him during
the last twelve years as his cook. So far
as he knew she was a woman that never
drank. She had complained to the wit
ness that her home was not happy one.
She had said something about her nus
band having pistol, but witness did not
remember OF anything having been said
about his using it upon her. On New
Years Day they were both at witness
house, and Forgous was drunk
Alexander Hoeier testified that he was
in the vicinity of Forgous' house when
the shooting occurred, and saw Forgous
when he came out in the front garden, as
testified TO by Mrs. Schiminger. His tes-
timony was mainly in confederation OF
/ that given by Mrs. Schiminger.
/ Coroner Clark read the statement OF
! DIR. White, who made the autopsy on the
| body of Mrs. Forgous. Three penetrat-
/ ing wounds were found, any one OF which
would have been fatal. Besides these
/ there was one confused wound near the
/ others. All of these first-named penetra-
| tons extended through the left lung.
THE VERDICT.
| This concluded the testimony, and the
! Coroner turned the case over to the Jury.
! After about ten minutes deliberation
! the jury returned verdict to the effect
! that 'Afaria Forgolls came to her death
! on the I1th day of January, 1891, from
! three wounds inflicted by a pistol in the
| hands of Auguste Forgous,' and charging
! torgous with murder.

A CRIPPLE ROBBED.
The Result of an Argument as to the
Genuineness OF Greenback.

The Result of an Argument as to the
Commences OF a Greenback.
Sam. Edwards and Frank Everdall
were arrested yesterday afternoon by Off
GERS Lowell and Carroll and charged with
robbery.
The complaining party is a one-armed
individual named Higgins, and he claims
to have been robbed OF about $50. He
says he went into saloon on Front
street yesterday, and tossing $40 piece
on the counter called all hands up to the
bar and treated them. The barkeepe1
gave him 80 gold piece, a IS greenbaclS
and some silver in change, and he was
about to leave the place when one CT the
hangers on'' suggested that the green
back might be a counterfeit. Higgins
thought it q wise plan to examine the
currency and he endeavored to take i.
from his right side vest pocket.
Having only one arm he could not easily
do so, and one OF the gang present volun-
teered to assist him, and kindly took the
greenback from his pocket. The crowd
gathered around to look at it. and in his
enthusiasm Higgins forgot to take care
of the gold which ne had in his pocket.
The result was that he had all OF his
money stolen, and the man with the
greenbach got away with his swag also.
