progress with the work and poll would in
dictate that the Blaine men are
in the majority and control the az
fairs. though the chairman, General
Cogswell of Massachusetts. is one Of the
staunchest Harrison men. The committee
met at o'clock, but adjourned immedi-
ately, and at O'clock Teassembled, but at
10 o'clock the first contest had not yet been
taken up, and the only thing accomplished
was the making up of a roll OF the
delegates 10 the uBeontested districts. The
probabilities are that with a possible eX-
ceptioR or two the decision of the National
Committee will be affirmed by the
committee on credentials. The committee
adjourned to 9:50 o'clock tomorrow, which
is looked upon as an evidence OF the stand

wanted TO continue the session.

How Walter De Clarke Met Death at a
IYOman'S Hands.
SHE FEARED FOR HER OWN LIFE.
He Had Repeatedly Threatened 10 Murder Her and
Once Had Attempted to Carry His Threat
Into Execution.
Special to THE MoRNrNa CALL.

STOCKTON, June 8--The preliminary ex-
animation Of Miss Title Ludwig for the
shooting and killing of Walter de Clarke ut
Tracy yesterday was held there to-day. and
the girl was held 10 answer on charge OF
M anslaughter, with bail fixed at $4,000
The bond was promptly Furnished, with +.
Wacksmuth OF Tracy and q. Brichetto OF
Banta as sureties.
The defendant is q petite blonde, 10 years
cid innocent and quiet In appearance and
Of excellent character She is girl who
works hard in Lee Brothers hotel at Tracy,
and is well thought of there. That she Is a
quiet, stay-at-home body is shown by the
statement OF her parents that she has never
been away from the house but lew times,
and then her visits were to Oakland ana 10
this city. Her manner in court to-day was
modest aud becoming, aud she seemed 10
appreciate her situation.
1t was brought out in the testimony on
cross-examination by her attorney. James
H. Budd, that De. Clarke was dangerous
and quarrelsome man when drinking, ana
that was quite often.
He had made threats to kill her several
times, and short time before the tragedy
he attempted 10 enter her room and was
shot by her brother. Only few weeks ago
he tried to borrow a pistol from brakeman
named Smith at Tracy To shoot her. When
the brakeman refused to lend him the pis-
tel he said he would use what he had, mean
ing a pocket-knife The threat was COM
municated to the girl by Smith.
After having been shot by her brother
while trying to reach Titles room to
carry out his second threat to kill her,
at which time he had pistol in his
pocket, De Clarke laid in the County
Hospital here for several weeks. While
still there, a week ago Monday, just one
week before he met his death. he said TO
Brakeman Banfil, who called to see how
be was getting on, that when he got well be
would kill Title. He said he did not want
to kill her quickly. but to torture her.
All these threats were reported to the
girl and her brother. The day OF the burn
ing of the hospital here De Clark slipped
away, and was caught at Lodi by Constable
Byrnes OF Tracy and detained as witness
against Henry Ludwig for the shooting.
He was taken To Tracy by the constable
yesterday. and when walking past the hotel
door going on his crutches 10 the court
room the girl came out and shot him from
behind.
She had two pistols and fired six or seven
times. Swapping two cartridges that did not
explode. Only one shot took effect, the
others being very wild, for she had never
before handled pistol.
1t is said that she was always in great
fear by reason Of the repeatedly expressed
determination Of De Clarke TO kill her One
OF the pistols she had in her hands at the
fathers room, two blocks from the hotel,
and the other from her brothers room.
though one witness said he believed her
brother had handed her the second pistol
alter she had fired all the charges ia the
first one and had failed TO hit lie Clarke.

PHGNIX, June IA special 10 the Re-
publican from Globe has this to say: Sheriff
Thompson, w. II. Beard and the Indian
trailers have returned from the Tonic
Basin having abandoned the hunt for John
See. the wife murderer See was traced to
his fathers place on the Tonic river, and
from there trail supposed to be that Of
John and Bob See was followed across
Tonic creek and into the Four Peaks coun-
try. The rain, however, oblterated the
trail before the Indian trailers arrived on
the ground, and ii was useless TO proceed
farther into such a rugged country. The
telegram further,says that Lieutenant Fuller
with 90 troopers, four Indian trailers and a
pack train passed through that town this
morning en- route to the scene Of the muir
der Of the Dobe boy in the Superstitious
Mountains Lieutenant Fuller learned
upon his arrival at Globe. from George
Maynard of Tempe, that he was at the
Silver King mine when the news of the
murder was received there and that he
went ont TO FraZier's ranch to help bury
the body. Maynard is satisfied that Dobie
was not killed by Indians, bur by white
man who appeared at FraZler's ranch on
Friday and Saturday evening previous to
the murder and who had acted In a sus-
pieious manner. His description, given by
Dir. Frazier. tallies with the description Of
John NJ. See aud all the evidence obtained

After shooting the boy the house was ran
sacked and 20 pounds OF -four 20 pounds OF
sugar, 20 pounds of bacon, a Winchester
and beltfull OF cartridges and a horse and
saddle stolen.
The Governor has offered $500 reward for
the arrest OF See.
The morning call., 1892-06-08

the composition Of the committee seems to
make it unlikely that any anti-free coinage
men would consent to anything which
wruld not win the assent of Messrs. ones
and Teller as a proposition with which
they would be content.
Cannon is probably the most liberal of the
majority of the committee in his silver views,
INN he would probably be unwilling to give
his consent to any advance in the present
law.
The coinage of silver instead OF its stor-
are Is one point which the free coinage men
earnestly desire. as they fear the piling up
Of bullion will not tend to make people re-
gard silver as money.
The silver men are prepared TO fight the
report Of the majority Of the subcommittee,
and when the general committee gets TO
work en- the platform it is likely that the
greatest efforts of the silver men viii be
made.
They have held number Of conferences
for the purposes of considering a free coin
age plank for submission to the committee.
The plank proposes to declare that the Re-
publican party favors bimetallism on the
present ratio, or such other ratio as may be
agreed upon. and then coupled with this is
q clause carefully drawn, bat amounting to
n statement that the extent to which the
United States will 20 in the matter of silver
coinage is q question which should be left
