at the North Burial Ground autopsy. The
doctor described the character of the
head wounds carefully. On the
left side of the head there was
burnt margin to the wounds.
Inside the face the bones were ground to
small pieces, a condition directly charac-
teristic of gunshot wounds. These
wounds might have been inflicted by
pistol balls. IL the wounds were in
fiicted by a pistol the balls went from
left to right. There were two holes on
the left CHEEK passing out on the right
cheek, and a hole under the chin.
"Could these holes be made by three
bullet shots2" asked Mr.. Dubois.
'"Iu my opinion these wounds were
more likely made by the bullet shots than
by anything else," replied DIR. Palmer.
The doctor further testified that judg-
ing from the condition of the clothing the
Pistol Was Held Close
to the body.
The doctor said that a person shot
through the heart did not die
necessarily Immediately. As TO the
blood on tho left sleeve OF the murdered
woman's waist the doctor said that it was
the result of blood dripping from above,
and might easily have been caused by
A Shot i'm the Head.
The doctor said that he had examined
spots on the cushion OF the carriage.
There were eight or nine spatters which
resembled those on the woman's
clothing. They looked like blood
and were shown to be blood by
the ordinary tests. The large spots
which were found on the cushion might
have been blood, but the witness was not
sure. IL they were blood, an attempt had
been made TO wash them from the seat.
In cross-examination by Mr.. Pierce, DIR.
Palmer said that he did not consider The
shots in the head post moriem. The
victim might have been shot first in the
heart and yet have lived for half an hour
Tue doctor said that the spot on the alb
domen might have been INFLICTED after
death while the body wns yet warm.
"Could the injuries on the head have
been made by an instrument other than n
pistol?" asked Mr.. Pierce.
"Within my experience there could
have been no Instrument which could
have so ground up the bones."
"Could you get burn on cloth from n
32-calibre revolver fred at distance OF
four feet?"
"Not according to my experience. The
greatest distance Is two feet and six
inches. IL would not burn the skin with
clothing unless the revolver was touching
the clothing"
The doctor did not pretend to say that
the blood on the cushion was human
blood, but he was sure II was blood.
Sheriff Johnson again took the stand
this time to identify the cushion. Ex-
amined by DIR. Palmer.
Horace II. Franklin was called and tes-
titled to the covering of the cushion in
evidence being taken from the Howell gig
phaeton.
At this point the Attorney General

Mr.. McGill opened for the defense, stat

of the defendant and the court adjourned.
Today's Proceedings.
Mrs. Mary j. Whitaker, an elderly
lady, was
The First Witness for the Defense.
Mira. Whitaker said that she lived on
the Hartford Pike in the southeastern
part OF Scituate. Her home is about
half way between the watering
trough and the Jerry Fisk place.
She remembered the time OF the Cham bers
murder. She first heard OF it on Satur-
day and fixed the date of September 27.
at this time she was at home with her

buggy pass her house. The witness noticed
that the horse was black and that 1t
moved its head ncrvously. There was a
bundle in the team and some one driving.
TIE bundle was about as large as a -four
barrel. The bundle seemed TO lean toward
the driver, who was on the left side
of the team. A dark colored robe covered
the bundle. The witness said she had n
good view OF the team. Many teams
passed the place during the day, but she
remembered no other on this particular
day. Mrs. Whittskor thought that the
bundle was about as long as n person.
The phaeton aud the m iro "Nettie" looked
very much like the one she saw on the
Thursday In question. The witness then
was allowed to Wow the team which was
brought up to the Court House door.

The Remains Cremated.
BERKELEY.

One of the hottest and most closely con-
tested political fights in the entire history
of the town of Berkeley took place yester-
day, the occasion being the election of
municipal officers to serve under the new
charter, which goes into effect on the 22d
inst.
Nearly all the university student voters
who came to the polls were challenged on
the ground of non-residence, there being a
clause in the voting laws governing stu
dents upon which a point of technicality
was raised.
The total vote cast was 1746, the largest
ever cast with voting population of only
about 1900, many of whom were students
who have gone home for the vacation.
For Town Clerk NJ. L. Hanscom had a
majority OF seventy over his highest op-
ponent, Charles Gompertz.
Richard Lloyd was elected Treasurer
with majority of forty-one.
John Squires succeeded in scoring a ma
jority of 1913 for Town Treasurer, and
Wells was elected Assessor with a major
ity of nearly 600.
The Board of Trustees was elected as fol-
lows: Second Ward, Reuben Richard
First Ward, Gage; Third Ward, Richards
Fourth Ward, Grips; Fifth Ward, Mar
tin; Sixth Ward, Durrell; Seventh Ward,
Hoff.
The Board of Education elected was as
follows: First Ward. Robertson; Second
Ward, Professor Wickson; Third Ward
Boone; Fourth Ward, Swain; Fifth Ward
Norton; Sixth Ward, Neihaus; Seventh
Ward, Engerbretsen.

PresbYterian Association.

DR.. Rice of Oakland gave the Presbyte-
rian ministers a spirited account yesterday
morning of the recent efforts in Oakland
to obtain Sunday closing of saloons.
The other speaker at the meeting was
Dr. E. S. Chapman of Oakland, who has
returned from an evangelizing tour in
Southern California.
DR.. Chapman said that one result of his
recent tour was to give him profound i'm
preston of the value of evangelistic work.
1--WE have not honored this work as we
ought. We talk of foreign missions, as if
they were of paramount Importance, and
yet we have more need for evangelsts
here in our own land"
The speaker also stated that the churches
seemed to have lost sight of the fact that
good deeds were rewarded hereafter, and
that there is such a thing as reaching
heaven as poor as a church mouse. land
what is the consequence? Our churches
are filled with people who do not do any
thing to be saved.
In the discussion made by the visitors
present, on the evangelist's remarks, DIR.
Mathena said that the great drawn back
with California had been that the State
had not raised its own evangelists, but had
depended on foreign and Eastern evangel-
lists. He added: ''There are very few real
evangeists. DIR. Varley is not one. He
is a great Biblical scholar, but when it
comes TO bringing his knowledge to a
practical issue it seems he is not success
ful. For an evangelist to attempt to in
struct the people on all sides of the Cos.
pei in two weeks is impossible"

ngregatiOnal Club.

At the Congregational Monday Club a
paper was read by A. A. Chipron of the
Young Mems Christian Association upon
"Young Men and the Church"
"There never was a time" said the
speaker, "when more young men were in
terested in Christian work than now, MOI
was there ever a time when so much was
done for them. l do not agree with those
who say that the church has lost her grip
on the bright young manhood of the coun-
try. This has been due to the work of the
Young Mems Christian Association in
very large measure. And yet we must con-
TESS that we are not reaching men in any
satisfactory number; that too few of them
are to be found within the church."
Mr.. Chipron then explained the methods
by which the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION reaches its young men, and sug-
gested to the pastors present that if they
wished to secure young men as church
members they might with profit employ
some of the same means. Even the gym
nasium might be utilized as means of
fraternizing with the young men, and thus
eventually bring them into the fold.
Rev. Chaplain Rowell, in discussing the
paper, said the Young Mems Christian
Association was so select that 1t had bet
ter be named the Young Gentlemen s
Christian Association, for without $40 for
an entrance fee and presentable clothes q
young man was not wanted there.
Professor +. II. Foster said it would be
well occasionally to have the evening
service turned into young mems service.
DR.. Brown, however, said he did not be-
lieve in having the evening exclusively for
any one, though his own evening services
were always well attended by young men.
Rev. Mr.. Kimball said he considered it as
his opinion that the young men of this
country are in bad state, and Rev. Mr..
Hawith gave it as his opinion that ''fellow-
ship" with them was the best way to win
them.
Rev. DR.. Rominger, formerly of the
Plymouth-avenue Church, Oakland, said
farewell to the brethren, as he has &C
cepted call to Hot Springs, in South
Dakota.

British or French.

A, British subject born within the
British dominions, marries British wife
also within the British dominions. They
go to reside in France, and while there a
son, B, is born to them. B marries British
and son, C. is born to them in France.
G, although British subject by English
law, is yet French subject by French law
and, as such, liable to all the duties OF
French nationality.
Now, there are numerous instances OF
the above sort of circumstances in France
to-day, and it certainly seems hard that
men of British birth, educated frequently
at English schools, and to all intents and
purposes Englishmen. should be compelled
to serve in the French army and be liable
to fight against their own countrymen.-

THE EvANGELIST's MISSION.
Churches Filled With People Who
Do Not Do Anything to Be
Saved.

William G. Hubbard, president of the
Peace Association of Friends in America,
from Columbus. Ohio, was the speaker at
the Methodist preachers meeting yester-
day morning. He has been addressing
colleges and high schools on peace and
arbitration through the southern part OF
the State
In his paper yesterday he said: 1.-THE
Gospel is pre-eminently a doctrine OF
peace, and yet Christians have been ready
to engage in war on the wrong side as well
as on the right side, and thus the sad
spectacle has frequently been presented Of
Christians engaged in killing one another,
We ought to learn better way of settling
international disputes. The purpose OF
the peace organization is to teach the bet
ter way, namely, arbitration.
''We ask the preachers to aid us in up
lifting public sentiment till it shall have
become as impossible for Christians to cut
each others threats about boundary lines
as it is impossible now for two members
of the same church to fight over a matter
| of business"
The address closed with an appeal to al
the clergy to preach on peace and arbitra-
ton.
The following resolution was unani
mously passed:
Resolved, That this meeting and the churches

SEEKING A LOST ESTATE,
Now the Public Administrators Wishes
to Take a Hand in Finding Louis
Corriveau's Money!

The matter of the missing estate of Louis
Corriveau will come up this morning in
Judge Coffey's court, and several inter-
ested parties hope to secure additional
light upon the mystery of what became of
the wealth Corriyeau was believed to DOS
sess at the time of his death.
Among other claimants for portions of
that alleged wealth is one w. w. Jacobs,
who is the substitute of the Sun Insurance
Company in its suit with H. W. Westphal
Westphal sued the company for 5000 bal
ance due on policies covering two houses
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Elliott on
Chestnut street, which were both DESTROYED
by fire. Both policies were given to Cor
riveau to secure a mortgage executed to
him for $500. Jacobs was substituted for
the company, and entered counter-claim
against Corriveau for $3.50 in the form of
note dated September Is, 1893 and on this
note obtained an attachment on "Corri-
veau's property" The Sheriff sought Cor
riveau's property, and as a result gar
nisheed the Sun Insurance Company in
November, 1894, securing all moneys to be
paid to Louis Corriveau.
Jacobs declares that the transfer of the
notes and mortgages by Corriveau to
Westphal was to defraud his creditors of
the former and claims that at the time of
the attachment the money was Corriveau's
and not Westphals.
When this latter case of Westphal
against Jacobs came up in Judge Murphy's

The Hughes Libel No More.
The libel suit of r. A. Hughes, ex-Com-
missioner of Public Works of Oakland,
