PECULIAR COMPLICATION.
Can a Man Be Tried for Murder After
a Scotch Verdict?

LONDON. April 5.-The mysterious and
long-missing man known as Scott" who
was jointly indicted with Alfred j. Mon
son for the killing of Lieutenant Ham
brough, which crime has become known as
the "Ardlamont murder mystery" sur
rendered himself to-day to the police.
Scott has been sought after by the police
ever since the investigation into the death
of Lieutenant Hambrough. Scott did not
appear when Monson was tried at Edin-
burgh recently. Upon him the whole SO
luton of the mystery surrounding the
death seemed TO hang, and when Monson
was tried for murder the jury rendered a
verdict of mot proven"
Now the question which arises in the
minds of these who are familiar of the
workings OF the laws of Scotland is. can
Munson be again placed on trial if evil
dence which Scott may furnish the police
shows that the man who obtained a YER
dict of mot proven" was really the person
who caused Hambrough's death?

NEARING THE END.
Only the Arguments Are to Be
Heard.
Attorney Short Claims That Heath
Has Been Convicted by His
Own Testimony.

FRESNO, April 5.-The defense in the
Heath trial closed their case this morning.
after which the arguments were begun.
The first witness brought forward was
Mrs. Nichols. lady living at Monterey,
with whom Mrs. Palmer had stopped in
1892 from May till December. Mrs. Nichols
testified that Mrs. Palmer had come TO her
clearinghouse accompanied by a man
named Sylvester. and that while there
Mrs. Palmer had talked many times OF
visions and had told her that she had seen
McWhirter murdered AID knew who had
done the deed. She had seen the murder
when 10 a trance.
Clarence Hedges. foreman of the Fresno
Republican, test fled that he knew E. j.
Boland. lie was asked ii he had seen b.
land in Bakersfield on August q. % or 90
and ne said he had, and that he remem-
bered it because he was sleering beside
him on cot. This closed the case for the
defense and the argument was at once
begun.
Attorney Frank Ell. Short opened for the
prosecution and made a mastery argu-
ment. There was no ATTEMPT at oratorical
flights, the speaker confirming himself TO an
acute analysis of the testimony and forging
a complete chain of evidence against the
defendant. The key note of his argument
was contained in the following paragraph:
Richard S. Heath has sworn before this
jury that he was a friend of McWhirter,
yet he testifes that man named Childers
came up to him and said that people were
accusing Heath of the murder. Tat is a
peculiar circumstance that men should so
early accuse McWhirter' dear friend of
his undoing. Murder will make men talk.
They think If they do not talk they Will
be supposed to be guilty. Then when
they do talk hey talk too much. Heath
talked and denied his guilt almost before
the sun had risen On the morning of the
murder.
That is, in short, he claimed that Heath
was convicted of the murder out of his own
mouth, and that to believe Heath was to
disbelieve twenty reputa bic witnesses who
had testified as to the anxiety of the de-
PENDANT and his denials on the day follow
ing the murder. before any one had
thought of accusing him.
Attorney w. D. Topper followed for the
defense. but court adjourned before be had
completed his argument Upper charac-
terized Mrs. Palmer's testimony as false
n every particular. 1t is expected the
case will go to the jury Saturday afternoon
or evening.
1t was rumored to-day that Judge Harris
would file a complaint charging Mrs.
Featherston with perjury. but nothing has
yet been done in this direction. Mrs.
Palmer. it is said, will also be arrested on
the same charge

city. The Governor tonight issued proc
amation declaring that the counties of
Darlington and Florence are o longer in

ginning to reorganiZe the State militia.
A dispatch from Darlington says that
an opinion in the dis rensary cases has al
ready been drawn up and signed by JUS

sent to Justice Pope. in whose hands it
remains. The dispatch says the opinion

are Outspoken in their denunciation of

comes direct, and is true. In addition to
this Secretary Of State Tindal is incensed
because TilIman issued the police proca-
nation and had his name signed to 1t while
he 0he Secretary was in Charleston. AS
is well known all proclamations are
signed by the Governor and Secretary,
and the Secretary must sign his own
name and affix the seal of the State to the
document issued. When the talk of Till
man issuing his police proclamation first
begun Secretary TiDdal expressed the
most unmistakable disapproval of the
scheme, and after the proclamation was
issued the Secretary stated to an entirely
responsible gentleman in Charleston that
he had not given any one leave to sign his
name and his chief clerk had been given
explicit orders not to affix the seal of the
State except in his presence.
