SOME WONDERFUL TESTS
Given Yesterday by Prof. j. G. Leonard
Before Private Party.

Given Yesterday by Prof. j. G. Leonard,
Before a Private Party.
The most remarkable mind-reader and
test medium that ever visited Portland,
Prof. j. G. Leonard, yesterday gave
few tests of his powers before select
party of prominent people of this city,
which were as startling in their results
as they were unexpected by the party.
He had not previously met any of the
gentlemen who called upon him, yet he
called each of his visitors by name, and
gave the full maiden name OF the mother
of each of the party without moments
hesitation.
One of the most surprising tests of
mind-reading and mediumistic powers
given by the professor, was the follow
ing: He asked one of the party to write
the names of four different persons on
as many different slips of paper. These
names were all written while the pro.
feesor was out OF the room and carefully
folded and placed in the vest pocket OF
one OF the gentlemen present. Professor
Leonard. on his return to the room.
called off the full name of each person
what was the startling result of this
test was the professors significant but
quiet remark, as be called off one Of
these names, this party Is sdead." The
professor is certainly a genius in his
line and his work is the subject of con-
siderable comment among the skeptics
OF the city.-[Port Oregonian.
The professor is now located in Los
Angeles for short time; with rooms at
3164 s. Spring street.

NO NEW TRIAL.
Nicodemus Urquidas Fails to Move the
Supreme Court.

Njcodemus Urquidas Fails to Move the
Supreme Court.
The decision of the supreme court
affirming the judgment and order of
Judge Mckinley in the case OF the Peo-
pie, ETC., (respondent) VS.. Nicodemus
Urquidas (appellent), was received yes
terday by Deputy Clerk Ashmore for
filing in this city.
The defendant was convicted of the
crime of burglary IN the second degree,
and sentenced to be imprisoned in the
states prison for the term of one year.
The appeal is from the judgment and an
order denying new trial.
The charge was that the defendant
entered tie barn of one Beale with in
tent to commit larceny, and the evil
dence on the part of the prosecution
tended to show that such an entry was
made by defendant about 2 O'Clock in
the morning. The judgment, says the
court, cannot be reversed therefore, for
want of evidence to justify the verdict.
1t was claimed that the court erred in
refusing to strike out, on motion of de-
fendant, a portion of the testimony of
the witness Rose, and in admitting over
defendants objections another portion
OF the same witness testimony. The
court, however, sees no error in the rul-
ings complained of, and with reference
to the instructions excepted to says, "as
a whole the instructions stated the law
applicable to the case very fully and
fairly"
One of the grounds upon which a new
trial was asked was that of newly dis
covered evidence, but the court disposes
of that as follows: 'In this case the
affidavits offered in support OF the mo-
tion were in contradiction of the evil
dence introduced by the people and in
support of that given by defendant,
The evidence was communicative, and il
fails to satisfy us that it would have
rendered different result probable on
a retrial of the case. We can, there
fore, see no abuse of discretion by the
trial court in denying the motion.

THUGGS AND THIEVES.

A man by the name of Thomas
O'Hare was beaten until lnsenslble
by blunt instrument and robbed.
He afterwards died of his injuries
and never even regained conscious
| ness to make a statement. 1he
murdefers have never been appre-
hended although $500 reward was
| offered for information leading to
their conviction. Not word has
beef. heard of them since and it is
| quite probable that there never will
be.
Cal. Knapp's house was robbed
while his wife in company with an
other lady was engaged in picking
ducks in the back yard. Several
men was arrested on suspicion who
afterwards were released through
lack of evidence to convict.
Shortly after this affair A. d.
Treadway was relieved Of 81 10 while
he was asleep and the thieves at
tempted to kill his dog. Not the
slightest fragment of evidence
could be secured and up to date the
same mystery surrounds it.
The next raid was made ON the
room of Tom Rickey's stableman,
who sleeps in the barn in the rear of
the Hickey residence, was suddenly
awakened by two men who presented
revolvers to his head and commands
ed him to surrender what money and
valuables he had Ill his possession.
A. se had ,ras $50 IN coin and q
gold watch, which lie delivered to
the robbers, and they departed. OF
the robbers Ole says one was a large
man and the other short III stature,
both being masked. i seems Ole
