SENSATION IN THE DURRAST CASE.
Juror Trunan Says 10 Was Threatened
With Hanging.


San Francisco, Oct. 2. After gath
ering up q few ragged ends Of testimony
left over from last week the defense in
the Durant case began the building on
an abb for the young medical student
from April to April 10 inclusive. The
purpose Of the abb is to impeach the
testimony Of Pawnbroker Oppenheim
and w. J. Phillips, who testified that
on April u Durrant tried to pawn
Blanche Lamont's rings at Oppenheim's
store. Daring the course Of the testi-
mony which covered Durrant's move
ments on April 4 and ., a struggle was
preeipitated by District Attorney Barnes,
who again challenged the reliability Of
roll call book at Cooper college. The
argument ended in a victory for the de-
tense, SO far as the question before the
court was concerned, as Judge Murphy
sustained an objection TO a question
propOunded By himself to the witness
and cut off the discussion.
The trial began Tuesday morning
with a sensation which was quite as IN.
expected to the prosecution as to the
defense. Juror J. Truman informed
the court that last Thursday, during the
noon recess Of the court, he was APP
preached by &. J. Mccoy, general sec.
rotary the Of Y. NJ. c. A., who endeavor-
ed to engage him in conversation on the
subject of the trial.
IF you don't hang Durrant," said
Mccoy to the juror, I'VE will hang you. "
The court said the offense bOrdered
strongly on a crime and cited Mccoy to
appear in court at noon on Oct and
show cause why he should not be pun-
ished for contempt.
TO TEST QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Is Chinaman Born on American Soil a
Citizen?
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1.-The question
as to whether a Chinaman born on
American soil is a citizen of the United
States is to be tested in the courts.
Wong Kim Ark came here recently
from China, demanding a landing on
the ground that he is native Of Cali
fornia The collector of the port, while
admitting his nativity, refused him
landing, claiming that he is not an
American citizen. This decision was
in accordance with an arrangement al
ready made with the attorney general,
who is anxious TO test the right Of ma
tive born Chinese to land here. Ac-
Cording to the contention Of the govern.
ment 4 person born in the United
States must not be at the time of his
birth subject to any foreign power thus
making it indispensable to citizenship
by birth that the parent be then an
American citizen, for if the father be
alien, the child will be subject to the
country Of the sire. In other words TO
be an American by birth one must be
born in America and of American
parents. Il this contention of the gov
eminent is upheld the standing of all
people born in the United States Of
alien parents will be greatly affected.
If the decision in the local court is not
favorable to the government, the case
will be taken to the United States SUI
preme court.

Several Measures Against Prize Fighting
introduced.
AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 2.-The Texas
legislature met at noon with a quorum
present. The governor, in his message,
reviews the laws against prize fighting
in Texas, calling attention to the errors
therein, and closes by saying: "An
persons have been given notice that the
COrbett-HitzsimmOns exhibition would
not be permitted; that whatever had
been done by its projectors was with
full responsibility for the consequences.
The public interests require that this
exhibition especially should be sup
pressed. DiscOuntenanced by Mexico
and the territories, outlawed and driven
from every state, it is proposed to as
semble horde of ruffians and gamblers
and offer this state this commanding in
suit to public decency. Against it the
instincts and pride Of the people revolt,
and your prompt and resolute action
will spare them this ignominy and
shame"
Several bills, strictly andprize fight,
were introduced in both houses and adj
journment was had till tomorrow morn
ing.
There is a strong lobby here from Dali
las and leaders of it claim to have votes
enough in the house to defeat the
emergency clause. There are only three
senators opposed to the emergency
clause.

The Secretary Paid $4,000 as Counsel In
Railroad Case
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Secretary Hoke
Smiths $4,000 attorney fee is, next to
the income-tax rehearing next Monday,
the most interesting topic among Wash
ington lawyers. Dispatches from Ma
con, Ga, state that the secretary of
the interior was paid that fee as
counsel in the Georgia Southern &
Florida railroad case The single fee
is only $1,000 less than the entire sum
he will draw during four years as a
cabinet minister. 1t is $1,000 greater
than the single fee paid to ex-Presi-
dent Harrison recently by an Indianap-
oils corporation and which was a seven
day wonder. 1t is three times as great
as the largest fee President Cleveland
ever earned as a lawyer.
1t is said that when President Cleve-
land was asked to appoint Hoke Smith
to the cabinet he made some inquiry
about the Georgia lawyers career, and
learned that he had made Sl50,00O in
ten years from his professional career.
ANY man who can make Sl50,000 in
ten years from law practice in Georgia
must have good stuff in him" said the
president to Senator Gordon.

Federal Judge Demands Formula for

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, May a-Judge
Myers, of the district court, has made
very important order affecting the
rights of DR.. Leslie Z. Kelley.
W. +. Johnson, of Topeka, has
sued DR.. Kelley for 100000 damages,
the petition reciting that the plaintiff
has been made physical wreck be-
cause of the gold cure. Judge Myers, in
granting the petitioners request, rules
that DR.. Kelley must make known
the ingredients of his bichloride of
gold compound The court holds that
the cure is not property right nor a
trade secret; it is unprotected by q
patent, has been in use more than two
years, and there is nothing to prevent
DIR. Kelley testifying and that he must
tell what it is.
