ity. Five days afterward she filed suit
against her husband to have him adjudged
incompetent.
All the evidence which Mrs. Keane
brought to hear at the trial was that her
husband had developed parsnmOny to a
marked degree. Her son was witness to
this effect. but as it was shown that he
was cigarette devotee and would not
work. his evidence did not go for much.
On the other hand, it was shown that the
worst of DR.. Keane's crimes consisted In
visiting a well-knOwn saloon in company
with few crOnies and partaking of a
glass of whisky.
Yesterday the evidence on behalf of Mrs.
keaDe, the petitioner, was all iD, and At
tOrney Ran kin moved for dismissal of the
proceedings on the ground that no proof of
inc0mpetency had been presented against
his client. Attorney Philbronk on behalf
of Mrs. Keane made what was intended TO
be pathetic appea TO the Judge. asking
that the court should not allow the feeble
minded old man TO squander the money
which ought TO keep himself, his wife and
his children from want by reason OF his
foOlishness, and that by appointing some
one to look after him the court would pro-
tect the old man from the shoal of land
sharks who were ever around him ready
to devour him. The wife, it was explained,
could easily live on $500 month. which
the doctor could afford her without trou-
bic. DR.. keane's income is 500 a month.
Judge Murphy said he had considered
very carefully every aspect of the case.
and had come to the con fusion that not
only was Mrs. Keane's charge against her
husband not proved but ON the contrary
DR.. Keane had shown in every possible
manner that he was very we'll able to 10 ok
after his own affairs.
IF petitions like this were to be
granted" said the Judge, I'VE should
leave a loophole to ambitious and design
ing women to get hold of their over
indulgent husbands property. and lead a
life of pleasure to suit themselves. The
petition of Mrs. keane is denied, and DR..
George b. Keane is declared sane and COM
petent."
Amid general satisfaction expressed
among all who knew the circumstances OF
the case. the parties went their way.

GAMBLERS Go FREE.
Officers of City Who Have No
Power to Arrest Them.


ASTORIA, Sept. PA very important
decision was rendered in the Circuit Court
this afternoon by Judge Mcbride, which
has good deal of bearing on the status of
the gam bling cases now being investigated
by the Grand Jury. The jury. through Its
foreman, communicated with the Judge
and asked him whether the State or
county officers really had the right to
make the arrests of the men on trial,
when the city charter contained an ordi-
nance giving civic constables such power
Judge Mcbride held that the gamblers
who were arrested by the officers of the
county were rightfully and legally ar
rested
Previous to last year there was an ordi-
nance in the Astoria City charter which
gave the city the power to suppress gam
bling and to punish gamblers. The char
ter as passed by the last Legislature con-
tanned a section which gave the city power
to license and restrain gambling and re-
pealed the old section, but only by refer
ring 10 one clause in it. This Judge Nc
Bride held was illegal, because, according
TO the State constitution, In order to repeal
a law the whole of the law to be repealed
must be quoted. In the new charter only
single section is repealed and he there
fore held the city had no authority at the
present time to deal with gam bling in any
way, shape or form, and that the whole
jurisdiction in the matter rested with the
State officer.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-C. c. Moreno

DEATH WATCH SET
Wife r1urderer Vincent
Sentenced.
WILL HANG NEXT MONTH.
But Objected to His New
Suit.

FRESNO, Sept. 21.-At o'clock this
morning DR.. f. c. Vincent, the murderer
of his wife, was brought into Department
8 of the Superior Court. and Judge Holmes
set the time for passing sentence half an
hour later.
At the hour set he appeared at the bar
with his counsel. and the District Attor-
ney formally moved that sentence be
passed. To this objection was made on the
ground that there was pending in the Su-
preme Court of this State an appeal from
the order of proceeding other and different
from the one decided and recited in the
remttur recently sent down from the
the United States Supreme Court
through the Supreme Court of the
State. Counsel for the people az
gued that the decision of the Su-
preme CORTLAND remttitur decided all mat
tiers presented 10 it touching the case. The
Court overruled the objection and asked
Vincent if he had any legal cause to state
why sentence should not be pronounced
upon him. Vincent arose and the Judge
proceeded to sentence him TO be hanged on
October 81 next after which he was re-
manded to the custody of the Sheriff to
carry the execution into effect.
vincent stood the ordeal unf1incblngly,
with a steady gaze fixed vacantly in front
of him, and he was returned TO Jail and
the Under Sheriff took the prisoner in
charge, and preparations were made to
transfer him to the condemned CELL Vim
cent was given new suit of black clothes,
which were too light, he thought, for he
said: You think Pm only to wear this
suit matter of thirty days. but I'll wear
it all winter in San Francisco. and it's
hardly warm enough for that climate"
After having made his toilet Vincent
was conducted to the condemned cell, and
the death watch put over him, with strict
orders for the care of the prisoner. The
work of constructing the gallows and in
closure will begin about twelve days be-
fore the date of execution. Three hundred
tickets will be issued, and already 500 APP
plications have been received. Should he
be hanged his will be the first legal execu-
ton in Fresno County.

Charles Bawden, Murderer of Mrs
Price, After Many Delays Will
Pay Crimes Penalty.

EUREKA. Sept. 21.-To-morrow. between
the hours of 1 and P. NJ, Charles Fl.
Bawden, murderer of the wife of John
Price, will be executed in the jail of Hum
boldt. His crime was the most heinous
ever committed in this State-the murder
of woman enceinte.
On February Z, 1890, Mrs. Lille NJ. Price
was shot and almost instantly killed by
Charles II. Dawden. on the front porch of
her home, situated on Clark street. this
city. Her husband, John Price, then one
of the leading business men of Eureka,
was just returning home, and arrived on
the scene in time to be recognized by his
wife. After the fatal shots were fred she
called to him that she was shot, and rush
ing to him fell into his arms and expired
Her husband laid her down and grappled
with the murderer, who fired shot into
his own neck in the vain attempt 20 COM
NIT suicide.
Owing to the new law passed by the
Legislature in 1890. requiring that all
executions should thereafter take place at
San Quentin, the cases of McNulty. Vim
cent and Bawden were taken to the Su-
preme Court on the grounds that the law
required the execution of condemned
criminals to take place in San Quentin,
and these were not to be executed IN coun-
ties where they were convicted. This case
followed the McNulty case in all its bear
ings. going to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which refused to interfere
in the judgment on behalf of McNulty,
which carried Bawden's case to a like
issue.
Two months ago Bawden was reprieved
by Governor Markham for sixty-two days,
The doomed man had great hopes that his
sentence would be committed to life i'm
prisonment In that he has been disap-
pointed. and now must suffer the penalty
for his crime. For over three years he has
been confined in jail. with the coDse-
quence of his crime before him, lingering
between hope and fear, and be has suffered
many deaths during his long confinement
His attorneys left no stone unturned in
his behalf. but their efforts were of no
avail; they only caused delay.
Prominent ladies of this city circulated
petitions in his behalf, signed by leading
representative men OF the county, which
were presented to the Governor, but were
of no assistance. Markham concluded not
TO interfere with the decision of the
Judge and jury.
Bawden is in poor condition, and may
be unable to meet his doom bravely. a
few days ago he tainted on hearing the
ultimatum of the Governor. A large num-
Der Of citizens feel that commutation to
life impris onment would be just.
