CITY AUTHORITIES SCORED.
The Grand Jury at New Orleans Brings
In a Seathing Report.

New Orleans, May 30.-The grand jury
this afternoon created another sensation
in this city by a scathing arraignment of
the municipal and police authorities for
laxity in the enforcement Of the gamb-
ling laws They also recommend repeal
of the law permitting prize-fghts,
and that strict prohibition be placed on
such exhibitions. One portion of the re-
port says: "1he result of our investiga-
tion has clearly proved to our minds that
while the judges of the criminal courts
are willing and ready and anxious to have
the laws executed, nevertheless they are
in great measure powerless without the
aid of the city officials. We refer
especially to the mayor, city
attorney and police board and
their very unworthy chief of police"
Regarding the city council the report
says they are willfully jeopardizing the
interests and safety of the general public
by granting special permits to erect frame
buildings in the fire limits and by asking
the legislature TO revoke the charter Of
the city Of New Orleans and making it a
taxing district like the city of Memphis

nally assault Miss Ella Dobbs at Pamela,
near Atlanta, is now in the Clarke county
Jail. holland was arrested at the paper
mills near Athens by Mr.. Hemrick and
Marshal Kennedy. They had seen the
story of Noand's alleged crime and know
ing that he had once lived at the paper

was learned that holland had returned to
his old home the officers at once made an
attempt at his arrest. He discovered

cinating, would have 20 travel from the

home, and as she passed along he spraug
out from his hiding place and grabbed her

desperately for her liberty Once
she almost broke his hold, but he renewed
his attack and forced her to the ground.
She fought more desperately holland
finally became alarmed aud knocked her
over and ran, Miss Dobbs notified the
neighbors and posse pursued Noland all
night and part of the next day, but could
not catch him He made his way here,
presumably to get assistance from rela-
tives to leave the country. holland de-
MED the story OF the assault. He said he
slapped Miss Dobbs twice, but it was in
her own home and in the presence of
another girl. He stated that he
had lived in the same house with Miss
Dobbs for two years and intimated that
there had been strong case of love be-
tween them. He said the girl heard that
he was going TO marry some one else and
that when he called on her that evening
she was Jealous and ordered him out Of
the house, and when he refused TO 20 she

BRIGGS ARGUMENT.
The Professor Finishes Twenty Min

Seven Houra

The Professor Finishes Twenty Min
utes Before the Expiration of His
Seven Hours.
Washington, May 30.-Dr. Briggs this
morning at $50 O'Clock resumed his argu-
ment before the Presbyterian general as
sembly in defense of the charges made
against him. He occupied the remainder
of the morning. session, going again over
substantially the same ground argued be-
fore the New York presbytery. He was
heard without interruption or incident of
moment.
Prof. Briggs concluded his argument,
having occupied all but twenty minutes
of the seven hours allotted to him by the
judicial committee. His voice gave way
under the great and sustained strain to
which it had been subjected, despite the
assistance given by Prof. Brown in read
ing portions of the record and extracts
from his work, and toward the close he
spoke with evident effort and husky
tones. The prosecution also concluded its
case with a credit of twenty minutes
time. The night session was given over
to the members of the New York presby-
terry, and the vote on sustaining the app
peal will doubtless be taken at to-mor-
rows morning session.
Besides the Briggs case there
We're two incidents of note in the days

tion of the assembly of 1892
Upon the introduction of resolution
by Rev. Tayal Y. Graham of Philadelphia
of loyalty in honor to the memory of the
soldier dead, Elder Spencer of St. Louis
raised the point of order that it was not
warranted by the authority under which
the assembly sat, and could not therefore
be entertained.
Moderator Craig overruled the point

Won PoLLNITz NOT TO HANG.
The Governor Commutes His Sem
tenoe to Imprisonment for Life.

Atlanta. Ga, May 30.-Gov. Northen
to-day commuted the sentence of DIR. j.
r. Won Pollnitz of Baipbridge, convicted
OF the murder Of his wife, from death to
life Imprisonment This was done in
view of the fact that it was never proved
against DR. Won Pollnitz that it was his
deliberate intention to kill her. The tes-
timOny in court developed the fact that
in fit of anger, and perhaps drunken
ness, he knocked his wife down and
stamped her, injuriug her so that she
died the following day, She was in a
delicate state of health at the
time and cripple also. He was
arrested, tried and sentenced to death.
The case was carried to the supreme
court, where new trial was refused.
Won Pollnit2 was then resentenced and
would have been hanged had il not been for
the Intervention of the governor, who
granted a respite that win expire on July
2. Since the case was placed in the hands
of the. governor IL has gained
wide not6rioty, both on account Of the
brutality of the homicide and because Of
the demands of the wife's father, Rev. DR.
Ppllen of Cave Spring, that the law be
allowed to take its course. DR. Pullen
was very bitter against the man
who killed his daughter. In one of his
letters to the governor he stated that his
friends had determined TO lynch Won
Pollnit2, but he persuaded them TO let
him be punished by law
Won Pollnitz is q scion of the German
nobility, highly educated, and reputod to
have been most skiliful surgeon. He
served in the confederate army and was
so highly thought of by the Alabama
Medical Society that that body officially
asked the governor to commute his SEN
tence. He is about GO years of age
and was widower at the time
he married Miss Pullen, who was
then teaching school in Bainbridge. An
other letter received by the governor was
from the father Of the first wife of the
prisoner.
He joined DR. Pullen in demanding that
the sentence OF the law be enacted, as he
charged that Won Pollnitz was responsi-
BILE for the death of his first wife, having
been brutal TO her also. The petitions for
commutation were signed by the Judge,
solicitor and jury OF the court which tried
the case on the ground that there was n
possible lack of intention to kill.
