A Novel Wedding on IA Historic Spot on
the Deck ofthe Old Flagship Hartford.
A Vallejo dispatch OF July 81 says:
Another chapter was added to-day to the
history OF Farragut's flagship. the Hart
ford, which now occupies berth IN Rot
ten Row at the Mare Island navy-yard.
Since being condemned as unseaworthy
and placed out Of commission the Hart
ford has taken no important place in
either civic or maritime prominence until
to-day when called into service by the
authority Of the navy.
The occasion to-day was the solemniza-
tion Of a marriage, in which Frank r.
McNear, of San Francisco, and Miss
Zetue Spencer Woods, Of Oakland,
were contracting parties. The bride and
groom came to Vallejo this morning.
The party sought the services Of the Rev.
w. l.. Castor, Of the Baptist Church,
who escorted them TO the navy-yard,
where Captain Howison granted permits
sion for the party TO board the Hartford,
placing at their disposal his own Official
steam launch.
Arriving al the Hartford the Waterman
escorted the visitors about the ship. The
party returned 10 the cabin, where snort
consultation was held. AS soon rs every
thing was In readiness the Rev. Mr. CAS-
ton took a position near the mainmas''
while the bride and groom occupied

CounsePs Hands Tied.
The prisoner in this instance concealed
the truth from his counsel, mainly because
he relied on the absence of testimony on
the part of the prosecution. But between
the dates of commitment and trial much
evidence pointing to Watts guilt came
Into the possession Of the district attorney.
None of this was known to the prisoners
counsel except the testimony Of the gate
keeper before the grand jury that young
man in dark coat and straw hat passed
out of the Wood gate directly after New
ms had gone through, coupled with that
OF the barkeeper that Watts wore a dark
coat and straw hat on that night. But
this evidence was treated by the pris-
oner as amounting to nothing, because a
large number of the young men at such
summer picnics wear dark coats and straw
hats. and such alleged Identification
amounts to nothing. But other evidence
had been procured by the district attorney
after the finding of the indictment that
pointed strongly to a guilty knowledge on
the part OF the prisoner, OF which neither
he nor his counsel knew anything,
BY his false statements as to the occur
rences the prisoner SO thoroughly tied his
counsePs hands that no amount of cross

An innocent defendant cannot Of course
acknowledge crimes of which he is not
guilty, and when he tells the truth to his
counsel all the facts as he states them will
be found to be in harmony with the entire
body of facts that make up the case. Under
no circumstances then can the innocent
prisoner make any mistake in telling his
counsel the whole truth. And as for the
guilty defendant, when he has secured able
counsel, and finds himself protected by
superior talents as well as by the safeguards
thrown around him by modern statutes, he
can commit no greater error than to deny
that which is and to explain that which is
