ON A NEW TACK.
Claim That Tovey's Alleged Slayer
Is an ESCAPED Lunatic.

JACKSON, Jan. 22.-The case of William
Evans, charged with the murder OF NJ
Tovey, the expresS-messenger, in June
last, was called for a second trial in the
Superior Court this morning. The first
trial was never finished on account of the
sickness of two jurors. necessitating the
discharge of the jury. Some fifty wit
nessses were in attendance to-day from all
parts of the State. F. Dunlap of Stockton
appeared as assistant counsel for the de-
Tense. Before any steps were taken in
impaneling the jury defendants counsel
filed an application for q writ of habeas
CORPUS, alleging that Evans was an escape
from the Stockton Insane Asylum and had
never been legally discharged from that
institution, and was therefore illegally re-
strained ef his liberty by his detention in
jail under the charge Of murder. Febru-
ary 10 has been appointed for hearing on
the habeas corpus case. If this applica-
tion succeeds it is generally thought il will
fiually dispose of the matter.

scrambling, and on looking out again saw
the fash of a pistol Within one minute
after the flash of the pistol Crolley came
running to the front door and asked the
woman Edna for money. Which she gave
him. To-day the rumor that friends of
Crolley had threatened Hill was confirmed
and that for fear of tne execution of the
threats he did rot sleep at the house Sat-
urday night. The house where the trouble
originated is closed and the inmates have
departed. As the case now presents itself
the suicide of this important witness makes
the case stronger against Crolley as the
murderer of Sullivan than at any time
since it happened. The police have Sc
cured new evidence which points conclu-
sively to the fact that Crolley shot Sulli-
van down in cold blood. Not alone are the
officers in possession OF this but they
have other evidence which will implicate
everal other persons.

District Court to-day began the hearing of
testimony in the suit pending between
representatives of Sophy Crevier, now

which will be needed when that action
comes to trial. Among the witnesses is
Charles Perry. a brother to Sophy Crever,
who is alleged by the claimants to be the
first and only lawful wife of Norman w.
Kitts0n. deceased.
Sophy Crevier. or Sophy Perry, as she
was when Commodore ki.tson first knew
her. was the mother of the commodore's
oldest son, Norman Kittson of this city.
If her claim as the widow of Commodore
Kittson is ever established it will make
illegitimate children of every one of the
Kittson heirs living. with the exception of
the eldest child, Norman, who was the
only heir present to-day. The hearing
was not concluded.

SILVER AND CIVIL SERVICE.
Two Questions of Importance Come
In in the Senate

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The civil service
law came in for quota of criticism in the
Senate to-day. and later 10 the session Pef-
fer, in his argument, sought to show that
the proposition of the Secretary Of the
Treasury TO issue United States bonds was
directly without authority of law.
The bill to codify and arrange all the PEN
sion laws was presented by Palmer.
Lodge of Massachusetts, presented res
olution directing the Civil Service Com
mission to report the number and charac-
ter of cases it has considered since March
in which it is alleged the civil service
regulations were violated by the heads of
departments or bureaus, or any officers in
the United States 1t went over.
Call's resolution directing the Civil
Service Committee to inquire into the con-
dition of the civil service came up for con-
sideraton, and Berry presented an amend.
ment directing the committee also to re-
port upon the number of persons EN- ployed
in the classified service from each State
and Territory, and so far as they can
ascertain the number belonging to each
political party, and whether the public
would be benefited by the repeal of the
civil service law.
Objection was made to the amendment
by Wolcott, and Cockrell suggested that
the amendment be changed to a mere
request that the dates of appointment be
reported. Harris declared his unalterabIe
opposition to the civil service law. Cock
relps substitute was adopted-33 ayes to
II noes - and the original resolution as
amended was then adopted.
The creden tials of Senator-elect Thomas
Martin CD Of Virginia, whose term of
off ce begins March 4. 1895. were presented
by Daniels.
The resolution OF PETER. questioning the
authority of the President and Secretary
of the Treasury to issue bonds, then came
up. PETER said that if 1t can be true thai
the Secretary of the Treasury, in CO.
operation with the President. i. making a
new law. it is a violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States.
At the conclusion of Peffer's remarks
debate reverted 10 the silver question. in
which Allison. Teller, German and Others
took part. The resolution went over to a
future date. when Stewart will make some
remarks on the subject.
At 4:20 P. NJ. the Senate went into execu-
tive session and at 4 80 o'clock adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Fhe nomina-

was sent to the Senate to-day by Presi-
dent Cleveland, sent Senator Hill hurry
ing about the floor of the Senate in lively
style. He was quickly in consultation
with the mem bers of the Judiciary Com
mittee, who will pass upon the nomination
before it is reported to the Senate. The
Senators generally thought Judge Peck
ham of the Court of Appeals of New York
was the man. but Hill explained that such
was not the case. the present nominee
being his brother. The indications are
strong that the nomination will be opposed
upon the same grounds as was that of
Horn blower. Peckham is an Independent

nomination of Hill for Governor in 1885
and 1855. The New York Senators were
not consulted by the President in making
the selection.
