ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE NEAR.

The Police Department to Have q Fur
ther shaking Up.
Yesterday the changes which have re-
Gently been made in the police depart
ment went into effect. The old officers
who had either stepped down and out or
who were boosted in thai direction by
the police commission, turned over
their batons, their stars and their hand
cuffs, and likewise their authority to
arrest drunks and to assist ladies across
the crowded highways. The new officers
having complied with all the necessary
rules, were given their stars and put to
work.
1t is currently rumored that there is
another deal on foot which involves a
very considerable change of officers on
the force. 1t ia said that about 20 will
be dropped. A we'll known Republican
politician in talking about the matter
yeste rday said:
Eyes; within short time now there
will be another earthquake on the force.
This talk of running the police depart
exceedingly weary. Nothing of the
contemplated. The facts of the case are
that the commission is now being very
cleverly and very adroitly worked in the
interests of two gentlemen who are de-
sirous Of getting nominations for fat
offices at the hands OF the Republican
county convention next year. One
wants the nomination for assessor and
the other would like the nomination for
treasurer. Appointments are being
made, and removals as we'll, in the in
terest OF and to assist the candidacy of
these two gentlemen. When the next
earthquake comes in the department,
watch and see if things don't look that
way"

Afternoon sessfon.

James Cussen, the undertaken. who
had charge of the interment of the
deceased, was the first witness exam
ined. He stated that he reached the
body about 9:40a. m. A peculiar cir
cumstance which he observed was
it's rigidity. His experience had been
that bodies did not become rigid
until fully five hours after death. He
had laid out between 800 and 700 bodies,
but could not recall whether any of
them had died from strychnipe poison
ing. He had injected some embalming
fluid into the body through the arteries,
and not directly into the stomach. He
did not know the Ingredients of the
fluid but the general supposition is that
it contains poison.
MRS. POUIFoURCAT.
Mrs. Marie Antonio Pouifourcat, liy-
ing on e ast Seventh street, and daugh-
ter of the deceased, testified that about
am. on January lst Bentley came to
her house and said that her mother was
dying, and that she had better hurry up
and 70 to her. When she reached the
house her mother was lying with her
arms very rigid and drawn up on her

breast. She was frothing at the mouth,
and had only one spasm, aud died few
minutes after she reached her,. Bentley
went with the witness from her house to
her mother, but left Immediately after
for doctor, and did not return until an
hour after his wife died. She remained
at the house the entire day.
TIM HARDAN
Tim Hardan testified that he had
seen Bentley in DR.. Heinzeman's drug
store, buying something. He heard the
clerk several times say to him that the
article was poison. Bentley, however,
said he knew that, and also knew how
to use 1t. Witness did not see Bentley
receive any package from the clerk.
EDWARD wILLIGRoD, JE.
Edward Willigrod, jr., real-estate
dealer. gave some rather startling testi-
money.
Alter detailing at great length his deal
lngs with Bentley, by which the latter
offered to give him 5000 if he would dis
cover any property that Mrs. Bentley
had not conveyed to her husband, the
prosecution in disgust told him to stop,
and the matter remained unexplained.
He said that Bentley tried to stand in
with him, and told him that he had
mortgaged the property for $11 500, go
that if anything would hap en- to the
old lady, as he called his wife, he could
fight the children with their own money
to keep them from getting the estate.
He told the witness on another occasion
that the only reason he had got into the
affair was ION account of that old
black -" The witness was also
offered $4,000 ii he would introduce
Bentley to certain wealthy lady in the
city. The name of the lady was omit
ted, as Coroner Gates very considerably
instructed the witness not to mem
ton it.
Willigrod unblushingly and with the
utmost gusto admitted that he had stood
in with both sides because he wanted
to obtain prospective commission of
several thousand dollars by handling
some land of the estate Bentley also
told him that when he, Bentley, got
control of the property the witness
would be given power of attorney and
could make $500 month. "They would
go to Europe and wear diamonds," was
the way the witness gushed it forth.
HENRY KEEN.
Henry Keen, the Palace bootblack,
was called ana related that some time
after New Years day he saw Bentley,
who asked him if he had heard of his,
Bentley's, luck. His rich wife had died
and willed him all OF her property.
"Ain't l lucky bugger?" concluded
Bentley to the witness.
THE vEBDICr.
After some discussion the Jury retired
at 2:2o p. M, and by 3 O'Clock agreed
upon the following verdict:
"That the deceased came to her death
from the presence of strychnine in her
stomach, placed there by parties un-
known to u.s." This verdict was signed
by nine jurors, F. G. Lewis finding
minority verdict, the point as to the
presence of strychnine in the stomach
not being sufficiently clear to satisfy
him.
District Attorney Dillon was seen yes
terday by HERALD representative and
stated that the date for holding the pre-,
liminary examination of Bentley had
not yet been decided upon.
