Testimony to Be Reviewed by the
Military Court of Inquiry.
1T IS SAID TO BE DAMAGING TO
SOME OFFICERS.
The Body of an Unknown American
Found on the Desert, Below the Ma
tional Boundary Line-The Arizona
Train Robbers. With the Exception
of Armour, Still at Large.
Special to the REcoRD-USroS.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 3.-Next Monday
the Military Court of Inquiry will re-
convene to review the testimony and
place the responsibility for the blunders
at Sacramento on July 4th. a member
of the Court of Inquiry says that the tes-
timony taken is particularly damaging to
the officers. He said: "Our investiga-
ton developed the fact that there can be
no military reason why the troops did
not take possession of the Sacramento
depot when ordered. There can be no
question regarding the loyalty of the
troops or their ability TO perform their
duty, had proper orders been given. The
men who marched to the depot were as
fine as any in the Stale, and as ready to
obey orders as the regulars.
1.-The testimony shows that while the
officers were resting in a comfortable
room in the depot the troops were left
standing in the sun at temperature of
102o. This treatment would discourage
any troops. Had the command been
turned over to United States Marshal
Baldwin on the arrival of the troops, the
result would have been different. The
Court of Inquiry intends to find out why
the command was not given to Bald win.
1--WE have made a searching inquiry,
which will be great benefit to the Ma
tional Guard of California, and we will
locate the blame without Whitewashing.
1t has been demonstrated to us that the
National Guard of California is to-day
the most defective organization in the
United States. The troops were called
out partially equipped with rifles thirty
years old and without ammunition. The
men had no blankets and few overcoats.
The responsibility lies in the staff. Many
officers have not the faintest idea of mil
ltary training. They have acquired their
positions on staff through political
pull and not on their merits The ulti-
mate result will be reorganization of
the National Guard of California, with
the elimination OF the political and in
competent officers. No one has been
shielded by the Court of Inquiry. Gov
ernor Markham will insist upon court
martial for those responsible for the Sac
ramento blunders, and this will affect
officers high in the ranks"

Contestants Make Progress in the In
PRODUCTION of Testimony.
Los ANGELES, Oct. 3.-The Pratt will
contest was resumed in Judge Clark's
court to-day and the contestants made
progress in the introduction of testimony.
Under Judge Clark's ruling they were
permitted to introduce testimony relative
to Mrs. Annie A. Pratt's mental condi-
ton later than 1881 or 1885, the date of the
will and codicil in court, and showed
that she made a will in 1884 revokiug the
will offered for probate. Mrs. Boucher
and Mrs. De Forest testified that in their
opinion Mrs. Pratts mind was affected
in 1882.
Attorney Charles a. Hanlon then took
the stand and testified that he knew Mrs.
Pratt; transacted some business for her
in 1854. II drew and attested a will for
her i'll that year." he said, lat her request,
with Mr.. Delmar, now in London, and
Mr.. Cornell, now in Los Angeles. Igave

session. l nave no knowledge where
that will is now. The will was attested in
the presence of Mrs. Pratt, and the wit
nesses all signed it at her request. She
signed it in our presence. and declared it
to be her last will. After she signed the
will, on being asked by me if that was
her last will and testament, she said it
was. | delivered certain papers to Mrs.
Cross in 1888, which belonged TO her
sister, which she said Mrs. Pratt wanted.
Those papers contained some tax receipts
and some rough drafts of the will which

Mr.. Hanlon was then asked by Judge
Campbell if he had not received a QUE
tenth interest to a lot of real property in
Butte County conveyed to him by Mrs.
Goodspeed on March II, 1894, in con-
sideration of his services as attorney i'll
the case.
Mr.. Hanlon said he had deed from
Mrs. Goodspeed for certain lands in
! Butte County. but it had nothing to do
with this case, and that Mrs. Goodspeed
had decided other property for service in
matters having nothing to do with the
estate.
a deposition by Eugene Delmar, for
merly in the employ of Mr.. Hanlon,
was read. He testified that in 1884 Mrs.
Pratt executed will which he believes
she took with her when she left the
office. He saw enough of the contents to
know that after making a few bequests
she left the residue of her property to
Mrs. Lucy Goodspeed and Charles Pratt,
her children, share and share alike.
William d. Cornell, also a former en-
ploye in Mr.. Hanlon's office, testified in
effect the same as Delmar.
Catherine Gatfney, who was Mrs.
Pratt's nurse In 1892, testified that at that
time Mrs. Pratt was of unsound mind.

DIED OF THIRST.

Body of an American Found On the
Desert Below the Boundary.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3. Jose Garcia, a ped
der, who has just returned from the
Cocopah country with Quirino Cosilio a
half-breed, and Frank Costa, Mexican,
tells OF the finding on the desert below
the National boundary, of the body of an
American who had died of thirst. There

dressed James NJ Moore, paymaster Atchi-

days without water. suffering untold
hardship, but afterwards afforded relief
to Margarita Angulo and Felipe Moreno,
two MeXicans and an American, supposed
to have been Fred Wasson OF this city.
Angulo was insane from thirst, but all
recovered. On the return trip the trail of
another wanderer was discovered, and
Costa, who led the party. believes that he
had fallen victim TO the deserts, as hover
ing vultures and coyotes bowling up the
canyon among the hills afforded good
grounds for the suspicion. Much suffer-
ing is reported on the desert by returning
prospectors. The water is poor, and there
is but little of it.

There is no doubt of the solvency of this
