UNFAIR INFERENCE.
A New Trial for the Slayer OF Miehae
Mitchell.


Mitchell.
A new trial was granted yesterday ON
appeal in the case of Charles w. Lemperle,
who killed Michael Mitchell In this city on
Decem Der "a, 1890. was informed against for
murder, tried before Judge HebbarG, found
guilty Of manslaughter and sentenced to San
Quentin for seven years.
Mitchell had received gunshot wound in
the brain and was found wounded and
dying IN an alleyway adjoining 726 Washing
ton street, the row having been over the paw
ment Of 50 for some boots which Mitchell
had spoiled, both being shoemakers and
Mitchell working for the other.
The opinion declares that physician,
because physician, Is not an expert upon
gunshot wounds; and while 1t was error in
this case to permit physician 10 testify as
an expert without preliminary proof of his
competency, yet ii was simply impossible
to see how his testimony could have preiu-
diced the defendant. The testimony given
was matter OF common observation and
not OF special knowledge, containing moth
ing Inconsistent with the defendants theory
OF self-defense and nothing TO strengthen
the claim OF the prosecution.
Error was committed in one instruction in
emitting the qualification Ia section 11O5 of
the Penal Code, and lastly the District A T.
rOrney was rebuked for his upfairness in his
closing speech in drawing conclusions ad-
verse to the defendant, because he had not
stated at the inquest certain important mat
tiers in his testimony on the trial.
Even the remarks of the court seemed
to imply that it was proper to claim that the
defendant had tailed to make the same
unfair inference" concluded the Supreme

X. T.. Hsmmond's Claim.
The Jail committee Of the Grand Jury,
composed of J. p. lie Count, John A. Ham,
mersmith and Thomas G. Warrington, met
with the Finance Committee of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday to discuss many
recommendations in relation to the improve
ments of the County Jail system.
The Grand Jury committee approve Of
turning the Industrial School into a County
Jail, using the Broadway building Tor a
place of detention OF individuals awaiting
trial and lncarcerating females in the House
of Correction.
Chairman Ellert insisted that there would
be little or no saving In such an arrange
ment, besides there are no accommodations
In the House OF Correction for women. The
branch Jail, as now maintained, has been
found by the Supervisors, after thorough
/ study of the situation, 10 be the wisest and
most economical arrangement that could be
made. IL was admitted that a new County
Jail was very greatly needed, but unfortu-
naiely cannot be considered at present
1t was decided TO recommend advertising
for bids for the erection of the CogswelI
fountains.
r. L. Hammond Jr., administrator of the
estate of the late Police Commissioner Ham
mond, presented a claim OF $1,000 upon the
police pension fund. Auditor Smiley sent
in communication showing that the fund
Is createu Ot deuuctlhg % montn from
the salary of policemen. The records show
that the deceased Commissioner drew his
$3.50 month regularly from the city and
had never contributed a dollar to the fund.
The matter was referred TO the City and
County Attorney.
A bill of $50 incurred during ex-Coroner
Eaton's last month in Office for horse hire

APRIL WEATHER.
The Average for This CITY aud Vicinity,
Based en- Old Records.

The Average for This CITY aud Vicinity,
Based en- Old Records.
In a bulletin issued yesterday Chief
Kerkam gives an idea of what the average
April weather is like in this city and
vicinity. The chief relies for his facts upon
the records OF the monthly rainfall kept for
the past AZ years by Thomas Tennent and
the weather bureau records upon other
points for 20 years past.
According TO these the extremes of tenn
perature have ranged from 40 deg. in 1875 to
So deg. in 1883. The average of the daily OK
tremeS has been maximum of 60 deg. and
a minimum OF 90 deg, giving normal mean
temperature for the month of 80 deg. The
warmest April In the past 20 years, accord
ing to the mean temperature, was in 1889
when the mean for the month was a trifle
less than 50 deg. The coolest April was In
1882. when the monthly mean temperature
was 81 deg. with 1888 following with a mean
of slightly above 81 deg.
The average April rainfall is 1.96 inches.
The heaviest record was in 1850, when
there was q precipitation amounting to
1906 inches, while in 1867 no rain fell during
the month. BY far the greatest portion of
the rain for the month Is precipitated dur
ing the first 20 days. The prevailing winds
are from the west and south west, with an
average hourly movement of miles. The
highest velocity OF wind on record for the
month is AZ miles per hour. which occurred
