made sick by Kingston's cruelty, and had
been put to considerable expense. The case

who sat near him was painted like doll.
The remark was overheard by her and she
persuaded her big brother to interview the

denied the accusation but offered to whip
the entire family. Both had their coats off

interfere the dude had his nose smashed and

Fresno Murderer Before the Supreme



Court.

OF counsel in a case that closely resembles
that Of Murderer McNulty. The man
whose neck is in danger in this case is DR..
+. A. Vincent, convicted and sentenced to
death for the murder Of his wife at Fresno
on December IS. 1890.
1t was found. upon investigation, that the
names Of the jurors drawn to try Vincent
were not taxpayers, aud they were dis
charged. The Deputy Sheriff was ordered
10 select others, and in doing so he chose
nineteen of those who had been selected at
first. From that venre the men who con-
Yicted Vincent Of murder were selected.
VincenpS attorney appeared before the
Supreme Court ard presented the facts as
stated above, and minated that the Deputy
Sheriff was disqualified from acting by
reason Of bias against his client. The at
torney advanced the points made in Nc
Nulty's case to test the legality of and the
right to nfiict the death penalty. Both sides
