GRAND JURY.
The Drawn Names Regarded
With Suspicion.

Since Presiding Judge Wallace of the Su-
perior Court learned that there was some
thing crooked about the drawing of the
names from the Grand Jury box and that
some of the slips had been improperly fold
ed, SO that the clerk who drew them from
the box could tell for whom they were
drawn, he has regarded the drawing with
suspicion.
1t Is said that in spite of the caution dis
played by the Court the Grand Jury, if
composed of the men whose names were
drawn on Tuesday. will be liable to chal-
lfnge. because Judge Wallace exceeded his
jurisdiction in removing all the slips from
the box and requiring the clerks to copy the
names on new slips of paper. These slips, it
Is said. were not uniform with the other
slips placed III the box.
Since the drawing of the jury on Tuesday
curiosity has been evinced concerning the
names on the thirteen slips of paper that
were deemed uniform and which were found
TO be anything but uniform. These names
are:
J. b. Fargo, 1910 O'Farrell; A. P. Hotaling
177o California; Irving GrahIm. 17l6 Vallejo;

weighs 415 pounds. The right foot that
proti uded from the earth on the creek bank,
which led to the discovery, Is of a darker
color than the left. and the great toe nail
and portion of the toe are gone, while the
flesh on the left leg just below the knee has
apparently sloughed away. leaving the
muscle and portion of the pateila or knee
cap bare. The upper portion of the left ear
has crnmbled off, and both legs were
broken in loading the body into
wagon soon after it was exhumed.
Aside from these fractures the body is
quite natural save the rough surface of most
Oh the body, which is said to be caused by
the action of the water and a softening of
the flesh before the petrifacton set in. The
wrinkles in the skin about the feet and
hands are plainly visible. and the nails per-
fectly-natural. The gentleman who has this
wonderful curiosity on exhibition says there
is out one theory as to who the man was and
now ne came to his death. When the dis
covery was made the wife of Joaquin Muir
eta, the great bandit, said she remembered
mat her husband told her that he once killed
a very large Spaniard and buried his body in
Cantua Canyon. She has seen the petriiied
inquire and believes it to be the body of the
murdered Spaniard. We can see no evil
aence to dssnade us from the belief that it
is anything but genuine petrifaction.-So-

q TARDY SARDOMENE.
Two Lines of Insurance on the
Overdue Ship.

This has been q bad month for the fire un-
derwriters. a longer and heavier list OF
losses having been already recorded than
during any previous month of the year. The
fires round the Fourth were this year ex-
ceptionally numerous, and the bad start
made al the beginning of the month has not
been improved by the fires which have re-
Gently occurred in the interior.
The marine underwriters are less anxious
than they were last week. all of the over
due ships having reached here safely with
the exception of the SardOmene. She is
nominally 10 days out from Calcutta. She,
however, grounded in the HOaghly and had
to put back. A second start was made on
March 12:h, and she has therefore been out
139 days already on the voyage. Two lines
were placed on her yesterday. One of $500
at Is per cent, and the other of $1,000 at 20
per cent.
Marine underwriters and those interested
IN Wheat-shlpping will be interested in the
intelligence that the bill for the improve
ment of the port of Hayre and the Lower
Seine has been for the third time shelyed by
the French Senate. This action was unex-
pected, as the present bill was the result of
compromise. Owing to the failure Of the
French wheat crop an unusually large
number OF Coast wheat-ships have their
port Of discharge at Havre this year.
The port has, however, been lighted re-
Gently by the electric light. The experiment
has been great success, and the harbOr is
said TO be as bright by night as by day
Owing to the absence of Colonel C. Mason
Kline. who was called away from tine city
ON Monday afternoon, his paper on the
Kline rule, which he was to have read at
Mondays meeting of the Fire Underwriters
Clerks Association. was postponed TIL the
August meeting. Last Mondays meeting
was, consequently, short one, little be-
youd routine business being transacted.

AMES VS.. TREADWELL.
Developments Promised in the
Sensational Case.

Documents have recently been filed in the
County Clerks Office that make it appear
that something startling and strange is
coming out in the Ames- Treadwell case.
Two months ago jury in Judge Firms
department decided that Mabel Treadwel
was indebted 10 Ames for fees in the case
OF Ray VS.. Butler. Her attorneys did not
like the verdict and have procured afiidayits
from members of the jury who tried the
case on which they hope to obtain a new
trial. These affidaviLS are part of the
record in the case.
David Browne made one. From his
statement it might be understood that the
jury which tried the case was Influenced by
statements that Mrs. Treadwell parted with
$4,000 for corrupt purposes Browne says
that these statements were made by &.
Falkenstein and l.. Frieda nder in the Jury
box. They said they knew what became of
the $4,000 and that Chris Buckley received
a part of it and that tue rest was kept by
two other people.
Mabel Treadwell swore in deposition
that attorneys Dunno and McPike, repre-
senting Ames, endeavored by their argu-
ment TO impress the jury with the belief
that the $4,000 was used for corrupt pur-
poses.
Plaintiffs attorneys and jurors Falken-
stein and Friedlander have filed counter
aftidavts in which they deny the asSer-
lions made i'll the affidavits filed on behalf
OF Mrs. Treadwell.
