The republican convention held in
this place on Saturday last, was quietly
conducted from beginning to end. There
vas no jangling, no disgraceful scenes,
and no notable manifestations Of dissa.
tisfaction with results. 1t is true that
no all were satisfied with every detail
ofthe work performed, but the evidence
of dissatisfaction was not made apparent
by loud complaint, and disagreeable
demonstrations such as sometimes char.
a~cterize occasions Of this kind. While
it may not be said that it was strictly
harmonious, it was nevertheless quiet
and dignifed, and its conduct reflects
much credit upon the party in whose
interests it was held.

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Two California Politicians Implicated
i'm AnOther's Assassination.

FRESNO, Cal, March 26.-Some testimony
was given in the trial OF r. S. Heath here
to-day which created sensation. Heath IS
on trial for the murder of Louis b. Nc
Whittier, which occurred over a year ago.
On the night Of the murder McWhirter was
aroused from sleep by peculiar noise in
his back yard. He went out to investigate
and shot by an assassin. McWhirter
was a prominent lawyer and politician
Suspicion was Immediately drawn 10 Nc
Winters political enemies. 1t was claimed
also that McWhirter had committed suicide
and the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company contested the payment of the life
insurance on that ground. but the case was
decided against the company. The detective
who worked up the mysterious case gath
cred enough evidence to warrant the arrest
of Heath Heath belongs to a prominent
family, and is the son of General Heath.
He was tried several months ago, the Jury
disagreeing. His second trial has now pro-
ceeded several weeks. One of the strongest
points in the case against him was the fact
that several witnesses had seen him in a
buggy with a companion driving rapidly
out CT town shortly after the hour in which
McWhirter met his death. To-day Mrs
Palmer, an estimable lady residing near this
city, was brought into court upon her bed,
she being in the last stages of consumption.
Mrs. Palmer did not appear as a witness
in the previous trial. The witness stated
that on the morning OF the McWhirter
murder she was bringing her husband into
Fresno to take a train which leaves here
at 2:30 a She met, a short distance
from the town, a quickly-driven buggy
containing two persons, one OF whom was
Reed y. Terry; the other she did mot req
ogniZe. Just before meeting the buggy
some blazing rags had been thrown out OF
it and, as she passed. she noticed that the
dry grass by the roadside was being ignited
She stopped, alighted, stamped out the
flames and picked up the half-consumed
rags one Of them proving to be a mask
and the other a handkerchief upon which
was the name r. 5. Heath. The handker-
chief and mask she saved and produced
as evidence. Her testimony created great
excitement in court, the prisoner being visi-
bly, agitated.
Reed Terry, whom this evidence inpli-
Gates in the murder IS well known through
out the State He is a prominent lawyer
and was a leader OF the political faction
opposed 10 McWhirter. Terry is a nephew
OF Judge Terry, who was killed by Marshal
Nagle as he was about 20 assault Justice
Field OF the United States Supreme Court,
several years ago. He ran for Congress In
the sixth district on the Democratic ticket
but was defeated
