Quentin To-day.
STOCKTON, Oct. 20.-William Love, a
negro desperado, who has been sentenced
to imprisonment for life, will be taken to
San Quentin by Deputy Sheriff Robinson
tomorrow morning, wearing an Oregon
boot on one of his ankles. Love was con-
victed of robbing man few weeks ago
in front Of levee-street saloon, and was
charged with a prior conviction, which
made his sentence a life term. He
showed his desperate nature when ar
rested, but the officers have taken no
chances with him. He once made a
vicious assault OH a police officer at
MarysvilIe, and beat him shockingly
with the officers pistol, which gives him
his bad reputation.
Ii. B. HotZ, an Oakland junk dealer,
who has been travelling through this
county buying bottles, reports that he
was robbed near Lathrop last night, two
men compelling him to give up his purse
containing $43. The officers doubt his
story, as they say he reported at a way
side house that he was robbed night be-
fore last.
G. II. Wyn1an, land attorney prac-
ticing here, was to-day convicted of en-
bezzlement, for having appropriated S233
sent him by client to pay on the pur-
chase OF tract of land. Mrs. Philip of
Marposa County sent him $422 in coin
and orders for money, to pay $40O in the
Land Office, and he went on spree. His
defense was that he had TO go to San
Francisco to collect the money, and had a
months time to make the payment for
the land when he was arrested.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 20.-Ex-State
Senator William j. Dunn and Frank Nc
Manus, tha well-known politicians, were
arrested to-day on charge Of jury-brib-
ing. They are charged with unduly in
fiuencing the jury which acquitted Actor
NJ. B. Curtis of the murder of Policeman
Grant. few days ago story was
printed that McManus and Dunn were
trying to force Curtis to pay them $1,000,
which they claimed to have expended in
securing his acquittal. This story and
subsequent developments led to to-day's
arrests.
Chief of Police Crowley said: 81 do
not intend to stop with the arrest of Nc
Manus and Dunn. Several people much
higher in the social scale will soon find
themselves in an embarrassing predica-
ment. Two of the Curtis jurors have
done things that would convict them in
any court of having taken bribes, and 1
do not propose to permit these men to go
free"
Attorney Wilson, who defended Curtis,
says he does not believe the jury was
bribed, but thinks McManus and Dunn
tried to extort money from his client.
