Mcneil first saw Mrs. Merrilion when he
was doing some painting work on the house.
Almost Immediately he began his unwelcome
attentions, which eliminated in an exchange
of shots between him and her angry husband.
For this McNeill was sentenced In the Superior

500 or spend fifty days in the County Jail. He
chose the later.
Three or four times since then he has been
arrested on charges OF battery upon Mrs. merrill
lion and threats TO Kill, but he always managed
to beat the cases. The last lime was in March
last when a charge OF battery against him was
dismissed by Judge Campbell.
His mode OF persecution Is TO follow Mrs.

alarm her by calling her offensive names and
threatening 10 kill her. AT other times he

egraph Girls.

The second trial of Nellie Horton, the tele-
graph operator who killed Z. h. Hagans 10 her
room at 2O7 Eddy street ON July 9. 1898. will
close tomorrow. The story of the crime has
been renearsed before the jury and, as at the
first trial, the defense endeaYOTed to show that
as a wronged woman, betrayed and robbed un-
der promise of marriage, she was justified in
killing Hagans.
The first "scene" of the second trial occurred
yesterday when the pale defendant was on the
stand. She had told how she became ac-
uuainted with Hagan, and how he had assault
ed her in the park and in her room, when As
sistant Attorney Black asked her If IL was not
true that aft-r the assault In the park she and
Hagans went TO Eureka together and regis
tered on the steamer as &c. Il. Hoyt and vile ?'
The witness had answered all the attorneys
questions calmly aud without hesitation, but
when that question was asked she lost her
composure and burst into tears. For several
minutes she sobbed Historically and then the
embarrassing question, which was ruled out by
Judge Wallace at the first trial. was repeated.
THAT is true" she answered. and wept again.

attorney as ed.

a compromising position ?"

Two witnesses who were not examined al the
first TRIAL were called for the defense. They
were Deputy Attorney General Jackson and

years ago and hat she was then peaceable and
modest. Attorney MOrgan's testimony was far
more important.

GASTON'S PLEA.
He Cannot Secure Warrants Against
the Executive Committee.

Fl. r. CASTOR. the ex-accountant who holds
the Midwiuter Fair management responsible
for his arrest on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses by reason OF his having
lost the various sums thus appropriated IN
gambling at the exposition still declares that
he will have the entire executive committee
arrested on charge OF conducting gaming re-
sorts.
His attorney made an effort 10 see Chief
Crowley yesterday morning in order TO lay The
facts before him IN view of issuing complaints.
1he Chief, being otherwise engaged, was I'M
able 10 give ear 10 The grievance, though his
clerk promised 10 communicate the facts to his
superior at his earliest convenience.
An effort was also made 10 secure warrants
from Judge Conlan's court, which, however.
was opposed by Prosecuting Attorney Stephen
OKeefe, who claimed that the management of
the fair could in no way be held responsible for
The existence Of gambling houses within the
walls of the exposition.
II is possible that unless the executive COM
mittee can be reached through the police
courts the affair Will be taken before the Grand
Jury.

THE WAR is OVER.
State Militia Recalled From Its
Strike Camps.

General Dimond declared yesterday that "the
war is over"
The army of railroad occupation has been
withdrawn by offlcial edicI, and California is
once again at peace with itself People may
travel in safety over railroads, unmOles5ed by
Idle A. Il. L. men and without protection from
the National Guard warriors. And SO the war
is at an end.
Military affairs have been so exasperatingly
quiet since the strike was broken there APP
peal ed TO be no good reason for maintaining a
remnant OF the army in the Sierras and Oak
land. Governor Markham arrived ut just such
conclusion yesterday, for he Issued an order
recalling The TWO companies OF Second Infan-
Try from TTuckee and DunsInuir. General d.
m ond followed suit by dsmissing The Second
Artillery encamped IN tile Oakland yards. The
latter orders were sent late III the after
noon to General Dickinson, who Will give In
slructiOns TO The militia to break camp to-day.
When these mililiamen come home there will
be no State soldiers on duty.

Frank McManus' Cases.

The cases against Frank McManus for threats

peace were again called In Judge Conlan's
court Tuesday morning. Counsel for the de-
fendant moved for a change OF venue on the
ground that Judge Conlan while practiclng as
an attorney had defended McManus on similar
charges. Judge Low was consulted. but re-
fused to hear the cases. Then Judge Co0lan

action is taken because of the great trouble
incurred by the past practice OF redeeming
tickets which were bought by agents In specu-
lation ana when not sold presented TO he
Southern Pacific for redemption. The coupons
over the different roads required separate
settlement with each of these roads and this
was the cause OF interminahie trouble.
The probability is, however, that the order
is given With the purpose Of as far as possible,
stopping Speculation in the tickets.
