THE WORD JURISDICTION.
Its Meaning Explained for the Ben
eft of Counsel.

Sophie LecOnte appeared once more In
the Superior Court on writ of habeas
corpus yesterday. this time before Judge
Murphy.
Sophie was recently convicted in the
Police Court OF a misdemeanOr and SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment in the
County Jail by Judge Joachimsen. From
this sentence she appealed TO the Superior
Court, but her sentence was affirmed by
Judge Daingerfield. She then got our a
writ of habeas corpus, which was heard
before Judge Hebbard last week. The
Judge refused to review the decision of
another Superior Judge and sent the
woman back to Jail.
The matter did not end there. however,
as the woman applied for another writ Of
habeas corpus, and this time Judge Muir
ply heard the application. Counsel for
the petitioner maintained that the facts
shown in the evidence did not constitute
the crime for which the woman was sen.
fenced
We'll. but" said Judge Murphy. testify,
Il cant listen to this. You are turning a
writ of habeas corpus nto writ OF review,
and that must not be-"
Your honor, we are endeavOring to
show that the court had no jurisdiction to
convict on the evidence placed before il. !"
Judge Murphy thought that the petit
toners counsel did not know exactly what
Jurisdiction meant, and he explained this
at some length. Finally. he came to the
conclusion that the woman's proper course
would have been an appeal to the Supreme
Court, and so he denied the motion, and
the petitioner was escorted back to jail.

BUCKLEY COMING.
The Ex=DemOcratiC Boss
to Leave London.
He Will Live on His Ranch at Liver.
more and His Wife Will Have
No Lieutenants Around.

Christopher Buckley, the ex-Democratic
boss. is coming back to California. Not to
San Francisco, however. though he may
wander among his old familiar haunts
some time and think Of other days when
he was virtually king.
At present Chris is enjoying life quietly
in London, unattended by any of his
faithful retainers or lieutenants. But the
English air falls short of the balmy atmos-
phere of California and foreign ways and
things have grown tiresome. So Chris
thinks longin glv of home and declares he
will shake off all fear and return. He has
stated so much to one of his friends in this
city.
In long letter to John Farley, the
saloon man at Geary and Market streets,
Buckley wrote that he was preparing for
the Journey westward. The communca-
ton clearly indicated that the deposed
boss is a changed man. 1t says he only
wants to live in Quietness in his country
home and be done with politics and us
cares and worriment. He has had enough
of them; for the times are changed and
men have gone with them.
Buckley is to return without ovations or
receptions. Coming back as obscurely as
possible under the circumstances he will
shrink from public view and take up his
abode on his ranch at Livermore. There
he will be away from prominence OF any
kind.
Mrs. Buckley will have none of the old
time boss lleutenants around her hus-
band hereafter She insists that they
shall have no business with him. and Chris
is perfectly satisfied. Even now Jerry
Driscoll is running "bucket-shop" in
Chicago, where he sells pools and where
young men bet on imaginary racing
events, buy imaginary stocks and lose all
the money they place against the games.
Jake Rudolph is still at the ranch in Ala
media County, but his reign there must be
short. None Of this ilk shall associate
with Buckley.
He is changed indeed-perhaps reformed
from the old ways.
Some politicians are inclined to believe
that Buckley will not relnqulsh his hold
of the local Democratic reins. While to
all appearances he may be living life of
retirement in the country. they say, his
subtle method will be felt in San Fran
cisco. He will direct. like many leader,
from afar and calmly watch the result of
his directions.
But to engage actively in politics that is
out of the question.
He will be here alone so far as his
former henchmen are con cerned and as a
secluded citizen.

"DINK :" WILSON'S BOND.
The Evil Associations Reflect Too
Cauo.oI.. II~o.. AiicS q E Neal

The Evil Associations Reflect Too
Severely Upon Miss q. e. Neal.
With the passage of time the incidents
in connection with the straw bond of
''Dink" Wilson. the notorious criminal,
have so multiplied that the case is in a
worse tangle than at first, and that is say
ing much.
Pearson acted, 1t is now asserted. as the
catspaw for some ''person or persons I'M
known" He received request by letter
from Dan Seton, the Fresno attorney,
asking him to go on Wilson's bond. and as
he knew Seton he willingly did as re-
Quested. 1t turns out now. however, that
the letter itself was forgery.
Miss Grace E. Neal, through being mixed
up in such an unsavory case, has suffered
some indigni:y. For six months past she
has been secretary of the Palos Grand
Coal and Transportation company, and
in no way connected with Pearson. Sew
eral business men If standing IN the COM
munity speak well Of her as rather
shrewd business woman and In no way
deserving Of the reflections upon her
moral character unwittiDgly made Oh in
sufficient authority.
Miss Neal occasionally calls at Pear
sons office, and did so upon the day OF
the bond episode. In the absence Of one
of the parties she consented at the solicit
tation Of Pearson, to act in his stead and
went on the bond without full knowledge.
By thus becoming associated with very
dirty piece of business she has been re-
garded more severely, perhaps. than the
facts warranted.

Finale of the Schooner Achilles DIFF.
ficulty Between the Owner
and Her Captain.

II sold the sealing-scho oner Achilles to-
day." said j. NJ. Elmer to a CALL reporter
yesterday.
Then Mr. Elmer. who is anxious to re-
turn to his home and his mining interests
in Ashland, Or. explained why he had
concluded to dispose Of the craft rather
than to be bothered with any lawsuit
against Captain Oscar Bartell and that
mariners brother. Julius. 1t was Julius
to whom he sold the Achilles, and the
consideration realized, said Mr.. Ether. was
$3.50.
''They are about as singular people as l
ever had anything to do with" were Mr..
Etner's words as he told of his dealings
with the two Bartels and why he had con-
cluded to drop the proceedings against
them for bringing the Achilles into this
port from Alaska without her owners
knowledge. His story was substantially ::
II am out about $4,000 on this thing-in
fact about $1,000. l paid $500 for the boat
and it cost about $500 to hunt her up.
They got 259 sealskns, which were
purchased by the Alaska CONNER
cial Company at Kodiak. and l should
have realized about $500 on that. l did
manage to stop payment of draft for
$1,000 which they tried to get cashed.
They tried to get away with everything,
whereas their shares Of the profits on the
sealskins should have been 80 and 20 per
cent of half the catch for Oscar and
Julius respectively.
ut was like this: l bought the schooner
last March from Crouch, the managing
owner. and one Of the other two owners,
man named Moss, was then at Coos Bay.
| consulted a lawyer. and got two written
opinions to the effect that Cr0uch's sigma
ture alone to the contract Of sale was suf-
ficient. Well, / found these fellows up in
Seattle down financially. Their clothes
were in pawn, and 80 was their compass,
and | fitted up the boat and started them
up north. They wrote to me from Sltka
when | was in Seattle. telling me that
they would come into South Bend. where
my home was form erly, and then when |
was in Port Townsend | got letter from
them saying they were going on down to
San Diego. l never expected that they
were going to pull in here.
COB, l had them dead to rights if had
wanted to push them. / had their letters
and the contract-everything. But, as
am no seafaring man, l thought | would
take the easiest way out of the trouble.
and so / sold out to them.
about that bill of sale? Well, you see,
after learned that 1t was necessary to ge t
Moss signature, l began to try; but he
being rather hard to get at, 1t took some
time"
Thus ends what promised at one time to
develop into quite a sensation. it having
been charged by Mr.. Elmer that the Bar
tells had stolen his schooner. and notice
of reward for the capture of Captain Bar
tell and the recovery of the Achilles being
circulated over MI Etner's signature.
Referring to the Achilles crew. Mr..
Elmer says that the men did mutiny at
Kodiak owing to Captain Bartelps treat
ment. but that he got some statement
made out before leaving Alaskan waters
covering uD the matter.
