Tragedy In a Play.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-The old year
closed last night by unique and terri
BILE tragedy, by which Sydney Mccoy,
young lawyer aged 80, lost his life,
and Miss Grace King, aged 10, is in an
unconscious condition. A party of fifty
friends assembled last night at McCoy's
house on Guerrero street to watch the
old year out and the new year in. The
feature of the evenings entertainment
was the production of a short play
written by Mccoy and performed by
amateurs. The plot of the play was the
betrayal OF band OF Russian nihiisLs
by one Of their number. The nihilists
discovered their traitor and condemned
her to death. They decided by lot who
should perform the execution, and the
lot fell to the character portrayed by
Mccoy. Miss King played the part OF
the traitor. She is given the choice OF
being killed or stabbing herself and
chooses the latter alternative.
Mccoy handed her stout dagger,
which had been in the family for many
years. In the play the girl, instead Of
killing herself, was to stab her execu-
TONER, and as Miss King received the
knife, she reached forward to touch Nc.
Coy on the breast with the knife. AT
the same instant Mccoy started toward
the girl, when she stumbled, and, falling
forward with the dagger in her hand
drove it through McCoy's heart. Nc.
Coy showed wonderful vitality and
presence OF mind. He walked iuto the
next room and asked for doctor, and
then fell dead.
The girl knew there had been an acct
dent Of some kind, but did not know
Mccoy was killed. She was taken home
and afterward, on advice of friends, gave
herself up to the police. She was taken
to the city prison at o'clock in the
morning and when she entered the pris-
on tainted and has since remained I'M
conscious. This morning McCoy's two
brothers secured her release by giving
bonds for $4,000 for her appearance
The girl was then taken home and is in
critical condition.
The accident is explained by the fact
that recently Miss King suffered from a
sprained ankle ard she had been using
crutches to walk with, but had laid them
aside to practice her part in the play
AS she made the motion to stab Mccoy
she rested her weight on the weak foot
it gave way and she fell forward.

TERMS OLE SUBSCRIPTION:
Guilty Of Murder.


OF Major Darnold, for the murder OF
Walter Keller, went to the jury at few
minutes past 8 O'Clock this evening.
The jury returned at 1915 with a YER
diet of murder in the second degree.
The people made a strong case against
Darnold. 1t will be remembered that
the body Of Keller was found IN the
quicksand on the shore OF Clarks Fork
river with three bullet wounds, one in
the back Of the body, one in the back Of
the head and the third under the ear
The last burned and singed with powder,
as if the weapon had been placed against
the victims ear for the purpose OF blow
ing out his brains. The hat OF the muir
dered man had bullet hole through the
rim toward the back and was found at
the camp near pool OF blood.
The defendant was placed upon the
stand and testified IN his own behalf.
1t is probable that the defendants &C.
count Of the affair tended rather to fas-
ten his guilt in the minds OF the jury
than to establish his innocense, as every
sentence relating to the manner of the
killing bore the imprint of improbability.
The defendant said that he had an
nonnced his intention OF returning to
Montana, when the defendant became
angry and accused him of the intention
OF giving him away, and picked up an
ak and made for him. The defendant
claimed that he ran and jumped over
the bank OF the river into bed Of quick
sand and struggling to extricste him
self fell down. Keller followed him with
the AK, aid that he was lying partially
raised upon his elbow when he shot
Keller in self defense, and that he then
picked up Keeler's hat and az and took
them back to camp.
How the wounds were made in the
back under the circumstances it is hard
to understand, neither did he explain
why such extra care was taken with the
hat and AK, while the body Of the muir
dered man was left to the tender care of
the vuluures. He also admitted his
fight to Oregon and changing his name,
but it was not that be was conscious Of
guilt, but because he was afraid that
mob might hang him or that if arrested
jury might not believe his story of the
killing.
1t does not appear that he had any
reason to apprshend the former, but the
verdict of the jury Indicates that his
fears in the latter respect were not with
out foundation.
District Attorney O'Neil made the
closing argument for the people 1t
was strong, eloquent and unanswer-
able presentation Of the case and does
great credit to Mr.. O'Neirs ability and
zeal as public prosecutor.
The defendant has evinced no feeling
at any time during the trial. Even
when relating the narrowing details of
the death of Keller, his manner was as
unfeeling as though he had been killing
dog. The people expected that the
only result that the jury could arrive at
waa verdict OF murder in the first de-
gree and 1t seemed to be the universal
sentiment when the jury went out that
the defendant richly deserved hanging
The defendant viii be brought before
the court for sentence Tuesday morning.
Under the law Of this state he may be
sentenced to the penitentiary for life

sailed from this port under an assumed
name, and has been on his way and at the
Holy City since It was reported that he
had gone to Chicago
A cablegram from London, repeating a
despatch from Rome, states that the Pope
received Mr.. McGlynn kindly and gave
him long audience, and that Cardinal
Rampolla, the Papal Secretary OF State,
and Cardinal Ledochowski, the Prefect OF
the Propaganda, were extremely courteous
20 him.
It is stated that DR.. McGlynn was en-
chanted with his reception and his com
plete reconciliation with the Pope and
left Rome after a hve days sojourn.
DR.. Glynn's reconciliation with tho Pope
has started no end of gossip about the
effect il will have in the archdiocese OF
New York
Nne report was that it would bo divided
