the Crime-Says He Drained the
Boy With a Hatchet, Afterwards

Special to the REcoRD-UN1oS.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 6.-The prelimi-
nary examination of Guard W. A. Alex
ander, charged with the murder of Con-
vict Joe Marshall, at San Quentin, on
November 2Sth, was commenced this
afternoon before Justice McDutficy. The
interest manifested was 50 great that the
Justices Office was found inadequate to
accommodate these desirous of hearing
the testimony, and the preliminary eX-
animation was held i'll the Town Hail.
Shortly before 2 o'clock large wagon,
containing eight guards, who had been
subpenaed, arrived, followed shortly by
team, in which were Warden Hale,
Captain Berlin and Convict William or
Billy Miner, in charge of Constable
Malone.
A few minutes after o'clock the court
convened, and Billy Miner was called to
the stand. He testified as to the at
tempted escape, and, in the main, cor
roborated the story as heretofore pub
lished.
7. J. Crowley, attorney for the defense,
endeavored to rake over the past history
of Miner, but objection was made by the
District Attorney, the court sustaining it.
During Miners examination by Attor-
ney Crowley he was asked whether he
had ever stopped stage at a point OF a
shotgun. He answered that he had, but
that he had never done so without COM
manding the driver to halt. Miners eX-
animation occupied about one hour, and
was intently listened to. He did not APP
pear desirous of concealing any OF the
facts in connection with the case, and
said he was as much to blame as Mar
shall, although Marshall was the chief
instigator and leader in the attempted
escape. Miner was unusually cool and
possessed during his examination, con-
sidering the fact that this was his first ap-
pearance III public outside OF the prison
walls for period of ten years and eleven
months. AT the close OF his examination
he resumed his seat, and by consent Of
the court and the attorneys he was soon
allowed to leave for San Quentin on ac-
count OF his not having fully recovered
from the injuries received during the at
tempted escape.
Thomas Walters, guard, was the next
witness called. He made some startling
statements which were to a certain extent
contradicted by subsequent testimony.
ii e stated that ne had been detailed by
Captain Berlin to guard the building in
which Miner and Marshall were ceiled,
and to watch cell A, the one in which
they were confined, in particular. This
admission was argued to some extent, the
defense endeavoring to disprove it.
Captain Berlin was examined at con-
siderable length, but nothing unpub-
lished was brought to lighr.
The case was continued until to-mor-
row morning. James Sonned, the guard
who was stationed at the foot Of the stair
way leading from the cell building, and
who resigned the morning after the shoot
ing, is expected TO testify.

WAsHNGroN. Dec. 6. - The United
States Civil Service Commission in its
annual report to the President, after Civ
ing statistics Of examinations and APP
poiptments, says: This is the first time
the commission has in the midst of a
Presidential campaign actively intertered
to prevent the collection of political as
sessments, and believes its action has had
most salutary effect, and that there is
much less assessing done than ever be-
fore, although it cannot be doubted that
alto her too much took place. In the
opiniea of the commission this practice
caniiY be wholly broken up until it is
mad penal oflense for any person
VIVA ar to solicit political contributions
from al employe in any place whatso-
evev.
The commission urges the adoption of
a new classification of the customs and
postal services, and notifications of the
number of excepted places and of the
places subject to non-competitivee exam
inatiOn may be greatly reduced in all
branches of the service. The commits
sion thinks exceptions from the exam
ination in any Postofnce may be properly
limited to the Postmaster, Assistant Post
master, Cashier, Private Secretary and,
perhaps, Superintendent of the money
order division. In the same way the
number of excepted places in the depart
ments at Washington should be greatly
reduced.
