WAS required to sign all orders drawn
upon the treasurer for appropriations
made by the board. The secretary.
who had the management of the busi>

he was nat grossly negligent in mak>

though the board had not acted on
the appropriations, and that the fac.
that the treasurer made the payments
to the secretary instead Of to the

Evidence from Ashes.

40 officer of the Now Orleans Mint
has been arrested and committed for
trial on remarkably scientific evil
dence. 1t was his duty to burn tho
bills which were returned to the Mint
and were not to be reissued, says the
Christian Herald. A box containing
a large amount of money in currency
was given to him to destroy, and a
record was kept of the number OF bills
Of each demo mi alton which were in
the box. The ashes Of the bills were
carefully collected and turned in by
the clerk, as proof that he had dc.
stroyed the bills, as his duty required.
They were weighed by the chief
Inspector and were about the weiR hit
that the ashes of the bills should be
On close examination however, it was
found that among the ashes were the
heads OF several burnt matches, which
would, of course, count in the weight
1t was evident that certain bills, the
ashes of which, il burned, would cor.
respond in weight to the match>he ads,
could not have been burned. Sus
pectiog that the clerk had stolen the
bills, instead Of turning them, the
next step was to ascertain the value
Of the bills distracted. Tho ashes
were submitted to q government ex.
pert, who analysed them and reported
that currency to the value of e25, 900
had not been burned. On being
asked how he had discovered the
amount, he stated a fact not general,
known. 1t appears that the colorine
matter used In tho bills varies witt
each denomination, snd that in q
cases it has metallic basis which j..
uninjured by fire or water. The tess
showed that in the ashes there was
mono OF the indestructible basis pc.
culier to the one thousand, Eve hun.
dred, or one>hundred dollar bills, al
though there were several bills Of
those denominations among those
given to the officer to burn. Al
there was possibility of his having
used them, instead OF burning them
he was arrested. Doubtless tn.
othcer was not aware that the Gov
eminent possessed SO ingenious
means of testing his probisy, other wis
he would not h. We reserved tho bill

SENTENCES COMMITTED.
Edward WfnkeI and Philip O'Brien /

EDWARD N1nkel and Philip O'Brfen to
Leave the Prison.
Governor Markham has commuted the
sentence of Edward Winkel, who was
sentenced from Siskiyou County in
February, 1898, to one years imprison-
ment at San Quentin for grand larceny, to
ten months.
The Superior Judge of Siskiyou County
states in a letter that the boy pleaded
guilty and the court refused to receive his
plea and appointed lawyer to de-
lend him, but he persisted in his plea.
The prosecuting witness was his uncle.
who was indebted to Winkel S27 for labor
and refused to pay him. The boy took a
horse and openly sold him in the neigh
borhood for $50, which he applied in part
payment of the debt. The proceeding. of
course, was wrongful, but the judge did
not believe it was done with criminal in
tent to steal, and could not see why he
persisted in his plea of guilty. He now
believes that the boy was unduly in
fluenced by other parties than the officers
OF the court in the interest of the prose-
cutting witness.
The District Attorney states that the
boy has been reared among bad moral
surroundings, and is not considered a
boy OF ordinary intelligence. The uncle
took lively part in the prosecution, and
the boys father did not render him any
aid in the way of defense.
On these grounds the commutation was
granted.
THE CASE OF PHILIP O'BRIEN.
He has also commuted the sentence of
Philip Obrien, from san Francisco in
April, 1857, for ten years in San Quentin

Of the excuses given yesterday why the

were so many applicants for places that
they did not want to put some on and
