This closed the case In the opinion Of the
attorneys, but Chairman Hyde said other
charges were still pending against OCon-
nor, incompetency, etc.

The Pittsburg Leader says: IL Is
feared that Robert Downing, oesS

Columbia, Missouri, who has oean d
member of Downing's company, was at
the Central Hotel this morning, on ms

banded. Speaking of the actors health
he said:
Downing is in Washington, and Is a
very sick man. I'm afraid he will never
go on the stage again. He has laryn,
gifts in an acute form. The cause OF
his trouble was a cold which he had
contracted. On Saturday OF that week
he was hardly able to take his roie'

Sunday he was very i'll and did not
leave his bed until Monday evening.
The physician advised him to take I'M

through with his lines Monday night.
The next day he was in a critical con-
dition."

SENSATIONAL WILL CONTEST.
Ohio Physician fastened His wife's
Death and His Own by Morphine.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 25.-TSpecial The
Van Settler will contest, which has just
begun in the courts here, has at the out
set produced some very sensational devel-
opments. DR.. Gan Settler was wealthy
but peculiar German physician of this city,
who died about year ago, his wife pre-
ceding him about six months They left
no children and the property was disposed
of by viii among numerous kinsfolk.
One Of the witnesses produced in this
trial testified that there had been for long
time before the death of Mrs. Van Settler
an understanding between her and her
husband that when she became so i'll that
in his opinion she could not
live, he should ease her exit into
eternity by hypodermically injecting
morphine. The witness was familiar
with the domestic life of the Van Settlers
and being present the night that Mrs Van
Settler died. saw DR.. Van Settler give her
a hypodermic injection. After death wit
ness saw him kiss his wife's corpse and
heard him say: ''She has had her wish,
and I'll have mine"
The inference sought TO be drawn from
this was that DR.. Van Settler. in tit of
dependency. after his wife's death,
imagined he was dying, and injecting
morphine into his arm really took his own
life. The estate in question involves

THEY FIGHT ON FEBRUARY %.
George Godfrey. Jake KiIrain, Billy
Muidoon and Jack Dempsey VIII
Arrive This Week.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-TSpecial l.
George La Blanche, the Marine, has finally
returned here. For several days he has
oeen walking around on the sunny side of
Market and hearney streets, with both
bands down deep in the pockets of his
trousers. His high silk hat is just as
glossy as the one he wore the day after he
received the trophy presented him by the
California Athletic Club for knocking
out Dempsey. His clothes fit him, are of
recent make, and there are no cracks
In his patent-leather shoes. On the 18th
day OF next month, the police permitting,
La Blanche and Young Mitchell will fight
to finish before the California Athletic
Club for purse of So 500 The return of
La Blanche and his approaching fight
have opened up fruitful subject of
conversation for the local sports.
They have exhausted the Dempsey
Fitzsimmons fight, a subject, painful to
them, and just now the guessers are all at
work trying to decide on the winner. The
most potent factor entering into the call
culations is: Can La Blanche get down to
weight and still be lit and strong? In his
coming tight with Mitchell, La Blanche
will have to weigh in on the
or under, and for him to do
this and still be tit to fight such man as
Mitchell to a successful issue the knowing
ones say is impossible. They ask each
other how such heavy-looking man can
ever come down 10 l54 pounds and still be
able to fight. On this point La Blanche
viii probably be more than pleased to en-
tighten the talent later on, when he has
had two or three weeks training.
Mitchell went into training last Tuesday
at the Neptune gardens. in Alameda. and
La Blanche will train at Saucelito That
the match viii be a fast betting one the
sports are of one accord, and if there is
one man next to Jack Dempsey the local
sports are willing to place their money
on, that man is Young Mitchell. They
look upon him in the same light as they
did on Dempsey. They say that in adj
dition to being a thoroughly scientific
boxer he is puncher who always damages
an opponent when he hits him. These
people cannot see how La Blanche can
tight Mitchell at 154 pounds and win, and
are willing to place their money to back
their opinion and are not asking even
money. They concede that La Blanche
lands an awful blow when he lands, but
they say that he will never be able to
reach Young Mitchell. La Blanche will
be on the short end. and some few bets
have already been made at 800 to $50 that
he will he the loser.
Local sports have been on the lookout
for the past fey days for Jake Kilrain and
his traincr. MIdoon. kilrain is matched
