DIR. Andrade'S Case.

OAKLAND-C. Z. Bennett, under arrest Tor
attempting TO murder George Gray after the
latter had been disarmed in the train Saturday
morning occupies a cell in the City Prison and
has not been able to secure bail in $4,000. Ey-
cry effort in that direction has been fat fall
ure. The money for this purpose is not forth
coming.
Benefits friends, wherever they are. are not
crowding themselves to brighten the miserable
lot OF the eX-secretary. On the contrary they
are keeping prudentIy aloOf from him and enjoy
life at a distance While he thinks over his ca
reer, locked in a tank.
Sympathy for Gray, in his defense OF his fam
lily honor, is expressed on every hand, and there
is no doubt but that he could have raised, with
in an hOur. ten times the amount OF his bail.
The preliminary eXamn Itions of GRAY and
BenAeIt viii be held this morning. and il is not
likely that the lobby of the Police Court will be
found large enough to accommodate the crowds
that VIII want To witnesses the beginning of this
second act IN this remarkable domestic drama.
When seen at the prison yese erday Bennett
was in ruefui mood. He evidently did not
relish prison life, and had no good VIII for the
people who had got him into his bad fix.
dde was ia a revengeful frame Of mind, and 1t
was more dItflcult to stop him from talking
Than TO geI him started.
To his mind the prosecuted party is c. r.
Bennett and none other. The GrayS, he thinks,
have ruined him. He claims TO be perfectly
familiar with the history of Inc Gray family.
and told many things TO substantiate he boast.
He proposes in his trial TO take the stand
and recite the full history of his woes. The
Grays shall be raked fore and aft and every
thing bearing on The case will be made public.
Bennett is much cnragrined at not being able
10 raise ball
