ALLEGED BRIBERY.
Scandal Growing Out Of the Acquittal
of ''Sam'l of POsen."

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-The Exam
liner publishes statement of charges that
have come to light of the bribery Of four
jurors in the recent trial of NJ. =. Curtis
the actor, for the murder of police officer
Alexander Grant, of this city. The state
ment is based principally upon the declara-
ton of j. N. Wilson, Curtiss attorney. The
men accused of trying to get money from
Curtis on the ground that they paid jurors
to vote for his acquittal are Frank Nc
Manus, commonly known as "King" Nc
Manus, a local politician, and State Senator
William j. Dunn. According to Wilson's
statement these men have, since Curtis's
acquittal, made several efforts to induce
Curtis and Mrs. Curtis to pay them s., S0O
saying that by agreement with Curtis, by
which they were to receive $1,000, they paid
four jurors 81, 800 to vote for Curtis's ac-
quittal. Thomas McFarlane and G. S. Coy
are mentioned as two of the jurors bribed
Wilson denies there any attempt to
bribe jurors, as far as he knows, and Cur
tbs, McManus and Dunn also deny it. But
Curtis is now living on his ranch near
Fresno, and 1T is guarded by deputy
sheriff, as the actor has made a demand
upon Sheriff Scott, of Fresno, for protec-
ton, stating his life has been threatened
by McManus and others, though he did
not say the trouble was on account of a
jury-bribing transaction. Attorney Wilson
relates an interview he had with McManus
and Dunn, in which he says they tried to
get money from Curtis to bribe jurors.

De VeraCua,s Gratitude.

MADRID, Oct. 16.-The Duke De Veragua,
with his family has returned here from his
visit to the United States. after having
staid for some months at San Sebastian.
The Duke is eloquent in praise of the re-
ception given him by the great American
pcople. He says his ancestor Columbus
could never have imagined that such a
great nation as the North American could
ever have hourished in the lands he had
discovered across the Atlantic; that the
highest state of civilization should exist i'm
the new world where Columbus found only
sayageS. The Duke considers himself for
tunate in having accepted the invitation of
the United States, as through the generosity
of that great people and out of the graft
tude TO the family of Columbus for his dis
covery of the new world, from which event
the United States have been the principal
gamers. the dilapidated fortunes of the de-
scsndants of Columbus are likely to be re-
paired.
