JURY-FIXING DOESN'T PAY.
Squires Gets Eight Years for
Embracery.
The Court Comments Severely on the Dan.
gsrous Character Of the Crime Of Which
He Was Recently Convicted.

After several delays obtained by his at
torney the notorious jury-briber, John III.
SQuires, appeared yesterday morning in
Judge Murphy's court to be sentenced for
his crime.
Squires, whose pale face appeared all the
paler for the tauge of hair encrcling 1t,
was accompanied by his wife, little
woman of apparently great nervous force.
She sat beside the hus band, casting alter
nately furtve chances in the direction of
the court and anxious ones toward Counsel
j. d. Whalen.
Upon Whaen's efforts to obtain new
trial depended plainly the wife's hope for
her convicted husband.
AS sooA as the case was called. Attorney
Whalen, as If in answer to Mrs. Squires'
appealing look. sprang to his feet with a
motion for new trial on the customary
grounds that errors had been made in the
trial sufficient to entitle the defendant to a
new hearing.
The court denied the motion.
But Mr.. Whalen rose again with plea
for an arrest of judgment On the same
technical grounds.
Mrs. Squires looked ur anxiously at Judge
Murphy, but her earnest gaze changed into
an almost savage glare as he again denied
the motion.
The prisoner was directed to stand up
and receive sentence.
The court briefly reviewed the facts
shown by the evidence aud formally ap-
proved the verdict Of guilty" brought
against the prisoner
He said embracery WAS peculiarly dan
gerouS form of crime and one to be specially
guarded against and specially punished.
The entire security of life and property
rested upon trial by jury, and tamperlng
with that meant sapping the very fountain
of justice.
1t was almost impossible to overrate the
enormity to the commonwealth of crime
of this subtle and menacing character.
He therefore sentenced the prisoner to
eight years incarceration in San Quentin
prison.
Sauires asked in agitation whether he
would be permitted to make an explanation.
'What is that?" asked Judge Murphy,
bending over from the bench.
Squires repeated his question, but was
waved aside as being out of court order.
Mrs. Squires' eyes Shone with a feverish
CLEAN upon the Judge. as il she would like
to chew him all up, but she was induced by
Court Bailitf Mccarthy to leave the painful
scene.
Squires appeared dazed as he re-entered
the dock, en- route for the jutemills, guarded
by stone walls, which must remain cold and
impervious in the face of the most astute
bribery.

JUST ALITTLE BROCHURE.
But 1t Expresses Mr.. REFERS
Feelings.
THINGS HE LIKES NOT.
How He Served Mrs A. E. Luhrs and After
All Is Thrust Into Exterior Dark
ness for His Trouble.
THINGS HE LIKES NOT

w. A. Keefer, who sued Mrs. Annie Z.
Luhrs some months ago to recover $4,000,
which he claims as just compensation for
services rendered, has issued brochure on
his side Of the question.
AS a legal literary production ii presents
some very novel and at the same time inter-
estiDg features.
II just issued the work as guide for my
attorneys" explains Mr.. Keefer.
Mrs. Luhrs is the widow of n. C. Luhrs
OF the firm of Wheaton & Luhrs. He died
in 1883, and left his entire estate to his
widow and daughter.
About two years after this occurrence
Mr.Keefer appeared upon the scene. and after
performing several trivial acts of kindness
for the widow he was installed as general
financial agent
When once firmly placed In that position
he took hold of things in a Bismarekian
way, and according TO his statements the
investments he made for the widow soon in
creased her income from $3.50 month to
$500.
In his collected evidence Mr.. Keefer has
not neglected to delve into all the mysteries
of the business conducted by Wheaton &
Bre0D, nor failed to tell how and when and
where Mrs. Luhrs got all her money and
how she expended It.
He collected various notes that were out
lawed. and generally made the fur fly on
everything he had hold Of.
He purchased real estate, erected build
ings, sold property, rented rooms and stores,
in fact curing the four and half years of
his connection with Mrs. Luhrs' property
Keefer was chief factotum and general
bottle washer.
Not only did he attend to property and
moneys, but he hired and dismissed servant
girls in the Luhrs household, and as his
acquaintance ripened his chancellorship ex-
tended to the kitchen and the larder which
he kept supplied with purchases Of his own
selection.
But this was not all; he attended Mrs.
Luhrs when i'll.
He also took Mrs. Luhrs and her daugh-
ter out for summering Further yet did
he 60; he ventured into business as chef
in the Luhrs household and prepared the
meals.
But at last the crash came.
Keefer was undermined by jealous rela-
tives; and his throne fell, and he with it,
All his work, his mental worry, toll, ETC.,
went as naught In the eyes of Mrs. Luhrs
when she dispensed with his services.
Now Keefer leads life OF loneliness as
mining man In room 67 Of the building at
the corner OF Grant avenue and Post street.

vices is itemized to the last figure, aud it
aggregates $4,000; but he is willing to throw
$1,000 off.

fore the Superior Court very shortly, and
Keefer hopes that right will triumph

time. They would huddle together. change

close together. Finally they got into fight;
the whole pack attacked one wolf and killed
1t. 1t was literally bitten and chewed to
pieces. Now, what was that wolf killed
for? The probability is. and am almost
positive, that the dead wolf was the one that
killed the deer. l have talked to many
hunters upon the subject and have come

Another Brief Respite From an Ignominious
Death Accorded to the Convicted MUIR
derer of Collins.

The sword of Damocles is once more
suspended by single hair over the lead of
John McNulty, the convicted murderer OF
Collins.
Ever since the killing he has been the
center of legal tactics, for and against
until now he has lost hope as we'll as all
sensation of fear and seems utterly apa-
thetic.
His life is as If 1t had passed out Of his
hauds.
1t is a mere tennis ball which is now on
the side of death in Judge Murphy's court.
and then, again, is ratified back into safety
by legal racquet piled by his attorney.
Carroll Cock.
Yesterday in this terrible game of life
and death there was new set, or, more
properly speaking, reset.
Upon an order of the court he was
brought before Judge Murphy In Depart
ment II.
BY his side was his attorney. Cook.
1t is customary for all criminals to re-
ceive their sentence in standing position,
as McNulty has occasion to know.
us John McNulty here?" asked the
court.
McNulty, who appeared pale and worn,
was on his feet in an instant.
You can remain seated" said Judge
Murphy with judicial GOODNESS.
There was hush over the c0urt.room as
the Judge proceeded slowly: AFTER care
full consideration of this case and the posi-
ton Of the prisoner, have no recourse but
to resentence him.
"fbe ground appears to have been well
gone over, and there remains nothing more
for this court 10 do than to fix another day
carrying out the judgment affirmed by the
Supreme Court.
Il shall therefore direct the filing out of
another deatil-warrant, by which the pris-
oner shall be executed at the County Jail
by the Sheriff of this city and county on
October IA next. between the hours OF 10
and o'clock"
McNulty heard his second sentence with
out apparent emotion.
He seemingly regarded ii as merely an
other stroke from legal racquet driving
him over the line dividing present anxiety
from future terror.

then he looked down only TO see the bear

OUR ROADS,,

The agitation for good roads has
been started largely by the users of
bicycles. The boys and girles who
ride these "wheels" learn from expe-
rience what only horses knew before
that it takes vast deal more muscle
to carry load over a muddy road
than over a dry one. But there are
two points in the agitation for good
roads that have thus far been lost
sight Of
One is that the townsmen are quite
as much Interested in having good
roads leading from the country to the
town, as the farmers are to have good
roads to haul their products. Many
a Northwestern town has died because
a rival tapped its. trade by building
good roads into territory naturally
tributary, and some of the best and
thriftiest towns are prospering because
leading business men were sagacious
enough to encourage and help build
good roads. Many town about tc
go into a decline, has taken new lease
of life by buying a road grader and
furnishing it free to any road district
that would use it to make good road
leading its way. Any town consult
ing its own interest will keep its
streets passable and encourage good
roads radiating in all directions.
The other point that has been large.
ly overlooked is that main roads, such
as the national and state roads, in
Europe and in our older states, are
no longer necessary, the railroad,
having supplanted all ''long hauls" by
wagon. 1t is now only necessary tc
have good roads leading from farming
districts to convenient points touched
by railroad. Such roads will nevel
be subjected to such heavy traffic a.
, once passed over the "turnpikes" ii
the days of the stage coach, and it i.
not necessary that the roads should
be constructed at so great a cost

JAMES B. Weaver and James G..
Field, candidates respectively for Pres,
ident andVice President on the Poop
les Party ticket, have jointly sent out
letter Of acceptance. They have
found out something that is not known
to anyone, but themselves and a few
other sore heads, viz: That there
are manifold perils which seriously
threaten our civilization" and we are
in terrible bad fix generally; in fact
we are right on the brink of chasm
and unless the two "Jimmies" are ell
ected we will go over and be everlas-
ingly ruined. They do not touch upon
the issue of the campaign at all. They
think by bowling calamity and telling
people that they can furnish the rem
edy that people will elect them with
out any further talk. People require
more than that. They want to know
how solid a foundation candidates
are standing on.
