AWAITING A DECISION.
The Grand Jury Delaying It's III
p0rtant LabOrs.

The members of the Grand Jury are rest
ing on their oars while awaiting decision
of the Supreme Court in the Raymond con-
tempt case, which was argued before the
court the latter part Of last week
From the manner in which the court took
tie case under Amusement and the time
that has elapsed since the case was heard it
is expected that the court will. in its de-
cision, go to the main root of the question
and pass on the legality of the impanel-
ment of Grand Jury by means Of an elisor
when mors names were in the jury box and
the Sheriff had not been summoned.
When the Court left for Los Angeles one
Of the members is stated to have told a
party interested that the court would de-
liver its decision on Monday, October 18TH,
and would at once have the nature Of the
opinion telegrapEed to San Francisco
Barclay Henley and Jere Lynch waited
arXlOusly for news from Los Angeles yes
terday, but none came. The Grand Jury
was summoned to meet this afternoon, and
it was hoped that the Supreme Court would
have definitely settled the question of ts
legality SO that IL could go on with its work
in proper manner. Ii is thought that the
Supreme Court will have its decision by
this morning.
The Grand Jurors do not intend to 20 into
any of the Legislative frauds until they
know that they have the full power of the
law behind them. For this reason they
have notified the various Senators and AS
formation about the scandals of the last
Legislature, and who were subpenaed, not
to attend the jury until the Supreme Court
IN axes its decision.

ment from the heads down some interesting
he kelly had squared Whitman for SIS,
and that he was ready to 90 before the

Whitman Officer Kelly stated that he in
tended to present an affidavit before that

up before ii for examination. To this PreSi-
dent Hammond replied that. as he, Kelly.
might be somewhat embarrassed Ii he APP
prared before the Grand Jury as police
officer, the Commissioners would drop him
from the rolls Of the department and leave
him free to act as he pleased.
Kclly's request os the Chief OF Police to ex-
anime the records in the cases of Gus Bailey
and Tom Flood was accpded TO. Some
eight years ago Sergeant Whitman. then a
patrolman, arrested Bailey and Flood on
charges of assault to murder. A motion to
lie luce the charges to assault in the Police
Court was brought by Whitman to Chief
Crowley's notice at the time, and combatted
by Whitman. though eventually the reduc-
tion was made.

An inquest was held yesterday in the case
OF little Estella Page, the two-year-old
daughter OF Mrs. Carrie Page, who died at
II Wisconsin street, P0trero, on Sunday
afternoon, from strychnine poisoning.
Mrs. Maria A. Page. the grandmother,

poisoned DR.. Wemple was called in and

o'clock, when she breathed her last

cause the neighbors are all friendly. They
have frequently complained of having their
dogs, cats, pigeons and chickens poisoned.
DR.. L. l.. Wempe told how ne had treated
the child and finally pumped out her stomach,
but the child died soon after from strych-
nine poisoning.
After hearing the testimony the Coro-
ner's jury rendered verdict that the girl

tributed the poisoned food for the animals.

Trustees. A large supply OF liquor was
still in the building and it Is said that he
has been selling it on The sly, but the police
were never able to determine the truth of
this. The circumstances OF the fire go to
show that IL was incendiary. There was no
one in the building, Busch and his wife hav

fore, while his son was away on a hunting
trip. The tee hone wire was cut, and be-
fore the blaze was discovered it had a good

FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.
Charles LoOmis' Suit Against
Mrs. Mabel TreadWell.

The suit of private detective Chas. LoOmis
against Mira. Mabel Treadweu to recover
100000 damages for malicious prosecution
came up before Judge Wallace yesterday.
1T appears that LOomis was employed by
her to obtain some evidence in the suit Of
Reay against Butler aud others, and while
so engaged became involved in dispute with
another private detective named McClntock.
The quarrel took place in her 70 ms IN the
Russ House and ended in Loomis taking a
shot at his opponent. Loomis was subse-
quently arrested and prosecuted by Fisher
Ames, but without result.
Loomis contends that Mrs. Trradwell and
her friends were the instigators OF his trial,
and he therefore brought ag inst her the
suit for damages which IS beng heard.
There was Il long tussle between the law
yers on the question of admitting the testi-
mony OF Mrs. Calvin SOmers, Sister-in-law
of the defendant, who came here for the
purpose OF giving evidence for the plaintiff.
She was in New York when LOOMS suit
began, and Judge Wallace issued COM
mission 10 take what she had to say.
Calvin Somers at once started for the East
and obtained an Injunction from the New
York court, restraining her from answer
ing the Commissioners questions on the
ground that wife cannot be asked to give
evidence against her husband. 1t viii be
remembered that the Somers have been
divorced by the Superior Court, but the
Judgment has been appealed. Mrs. SOmerS
then, at the request of LOOMS, Came on to
this city and appeared in the courtroom
yesterday. Mrs. TIeadweli's lawyer fought
against the admission of her testimony,
doing his best to convince the Court that
she is still Calvin's vile, ana that the New
y Ork injunction should be OGeyed
Judge Wallace ruled that the New York
injunction is not binding upon him, and
Mrs. Somers took tie stand. Her testi-
mony is said to have been decidedly sensa-
tonal. Just what it was cannot be st tied,
as the reporters, at the request of Mrs.
TTeadwelPs lawyer, were gwen a hint to
leave the room. The attorneys subse-
queutiy agreed 10 accept the Courts ruling
on the aGmissiDiity OF Mrs. Sjmers' evil
dence, and the remainder of the afternoon
was consumed in arguing the question
whether she is or is not Calvin's wife.
