WASHINGTON, March 27.-The house

forfeited and subsequently patented to
the settler. There is large number of
cases affected by the courts decision,
and the present one will be regarded as

Special to The Independent.
MARYsvILLE, March 27.-The post-mor-
tenn examination of the body OF Hans
Thompson this morning developed that the
bullo, which killed him had passed through
the heat and spinal column and lodged
beneath the skin. Death must have been
instantaneous. The coroner's inquest was
held this afternoon and resulted in the jury
finding that they believed he had been
killed by A. w. and +. :. Ford. The FoTds
declined TO make any statement at the in
quest. The only PERSONS present al the
time the shooting occurred we're the de-
ceased and the two Ford brothers. and the
evidence given before the inquest while al
most entirely tcumstsntial, points very
strongly 10 the conclusion that one Of them
shot thompson. instead of the gun going
of and killing him. as they claim. at the
time he struck one of them over the head

Tssti mony-w wniie to Take the
stand To-day.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-At the openina
Of the Pollard -lireotinridee case this morn.
ing, Chief Of Police Moore was pat on tho
stand by the defense. He deniel that. al
either OF the two interviews in his ofiee
between Miss Pollard aud Breokinridge
the latter had said anything about Mas
PollsTd's bearing two children 90 him. or
being In delicate condition. On the cross
examination he admitted that great deal
had been said during these interviews. and
10 was entirely probable that he had for
gotten part Of It. lie also reafIifmed the
statement made by him when a witness for
Miss Pollard. as 90 BreokinrldRs's promise
in his presence 90 marry her. The bearing
OF the ps'ties was not such as 10 lead 20 the
belief that this promise Of marriage was
merely scheme between the parties and
noi made in good faith.
DR.. l. NJ. Sohafer was called ss an expert
In handwriting 20 testify as to the lsttsr
introduced in evidence, the authorship
Of which Miss Pollard disolaimsd. After
comparing IL with several other specimens
OF her admitted ehirography. he expressed
the opinion that all were written by the
same person. lie examined the Christmas
years in book in Norwood convent. and
said the ink Of the words written on them
had ths appearance OF not being over three
or four years old. The defense pot in an
exception TO the acceptance Of the testi-
nony or the ground that he wasnot a quail
med expert.
Edwin Is. Hay. smother eXrert In hand
writing testified that in his opinion the al
legged forged Letter. and that written 90
Wessie Brown, were written by the same
person.
Great stresI is laid by the defence upon
the Authenticity OF this letter. because they
think II she eau be proven false on one i'm
portant detail, her whole statement will be
impeaehsd. The signature TO the letter
also goes to support the opening statement
OF the defense, on q minor detail. that Miss
Pollard had adopted at that time the name
OF Brsckinfidge as a middle nams. This
letter defendant will nght 10 get before the
jury.
For the frat time to-day the keen cross
examination OF Judge Wilson was brought
into play. IL was hrst exercised on Major
Moore. chief of police, who was called back
10 dispote some OF Miss PollArd's state
ments regarding the two interviews in his
