THE SYMPATHY DODGE.

Ine press dispatches SSnt lron
Carson, and published in all the lead
ing papers of the Pacific Coast, and
the article we published yesterday
from the Carson Tribune, all indi
cate that the friends OF Bernard j.
Cossrove, now in the penitentiary for
the brutal butchery of Annie Nc
Manus, have started sympathy cain.
paign in his behalf.
AS an Offset to this, we published
yesterday the scathing remarks of
Judge Keeney in passing sentence up
on him and to-day lay before the pub
lie the full particulars of the horrible
crime Cosgrove committed as pub
lished in the INDEPENDENT of June 8,
1870, few days after his butchery of
this defenseless girl.
In. order to secure the release of
rightly characterized him, his friends
stop not i'll presenting the humane
side of his case, if there be Il humane
side, to the Board Of Pardons, but
ghoul like invade the sanctity of this
dead girls grave and hold her
up to the public gaze as com.
mon prostitute, one who has
violated her plighted troth to
Gosgrove and become an inmate of
Il house of i'll fame. Common decen.
cy should make them halt at the edge
of their victims grave. Had 5hey
not III their zeal to secure this MUIR
derer's release heaped iufamy upon
the memory of this dead girl, who
with all her faults was radiant angel
beside the cruel fiend who took her
life, the horrible particulars of this
butchery would not have found place
again in this journal.
Annie McManus has mouldered
away i'll her untimcly grave, and the
wretch who took her life and escaped
the hangman's moose he SO Justly de-
served, now seeks to escape the pris-
on walls by blackening her memory.
The refined cruelty of the Apache In
dian to his victim is dwarfed into in
significance by the brutality of this
plea. His relatives and friends should
be satisfied that his miserable life
has been prolonged this long and be
content for him to pass the remainder
of his days behind the walls of State
prison where he will have no chance
to commit other crimes.
We have felt constrained to say
this much i'll justice to the dead and
the living; to the dead girl whose
memory is no doubt as dear to her
relatives and friends as that of the
murderers is to his; to the living
who should be protected from such
men as Cosgrove by the rigid enforce
ment Of the law.

KING AND MILK BILLS.
Grand Jury Investigating City
and County Hospital
Supply.
Roberts Charged With Giving Short
Measure to Divide With the
Supervisor.

The Grand Jury are investigating some
pretty hard charges that have been made
to them against Supervisor Joe King. The
charges are to the effect that John Rob-
erts, who supplies milk to the City and
County Hospital, has been in the habit of
charging for much more milk than he de-
livered and dividing the excessive ensuing
profits from his contract with Supervisor
King, to whose official favor Mr. Roberts
owes the privilege of selling milk to that
municipal institution.
The charges were brought before the
Grand Jury last week, and investigation
was begun last Monday with the examina-
ton of Roberts. He said that he was not
interested in the business, having turned
1t over to his son some time since as he
claimed. He said that he knew nothing
about the manner in which the business
was conducted did not make out the bills
nor sign any receipts.
In view of the fact that the business is
still conducted in his name and the bills
rendered and receipted in his name, Rob-
erts was put through a searching exami-
nation.
The Grand Jury will go further into the
matter tomorrow when they meet again,
and will examine Roberts son and several
other witnesses. They expect to get much
more light from the other witnesses than
from Roberts, who was inclined to deny
everything.
There are promised some witnesses to
show Kings connection with the matter.
1t is not probable that he will be called
even II the evidence be strong against him
unless he volunteers his testimony.

regularity from the general committee and
give power and control to the victorious
faction, making the other one a lot of
beaten bushwhackers. The first vote at
the meeting will tell whether there is to be
primary election and new committee
largely under Buckley's control or a new
committee, appointed and approved, with
not Buckley man in it.
So it is no wonder that both sides are
straining every nerve in preparing for the
struggle and shouting "VictoryP' in adj
vance to keep up the courage and enthusi-
asm of their members. It's all q question
of who has majority of the general COM
mittee less than week hence. The Junta
people do not now talk of opposing the
proposed meeting and say that they will
go into it and win.
There is every indication that the Buck
leyites have the majority they claim. The
district petitions opposing the Junta pro-
gramme had been signed by 259 of the gen.
eral committee two days ago, and thirty
more are claimed. Under Buckley shrewd
direction a tireless campaign, aided by
every possible influence that could be
brought to bear and by the prestige of
Buckeyes surprising strength, has been
conducted to win majority of the general
committee The Buckleyitea exhibit their
confidence by assuming the aggressive in
conflict that would be Waterloo if they
were ueIeateu. buckley strength mas I'M
questionably increased with every sue
ceeding day, not only in the general COM
mittee, but in the party generally, and the
indications are that he is master of the
situation.
The opposition to the Junta is not con-
fined by any means to those who hate
Buckley, and those who favor the Buckley
programme of an open primary election
are by no means confined to those who
favor Buckley. 1t is this Junta scheme of
few men with no particularly clear title
to the party creating and controlling the
party organization that many Democrats
stick at They favor primary election on
general and Democratic grounds, and as
that is all the Buckleyites ask right away
they are ready to support the programme
OF letting the people have say entirely
apart from the matter of Buckley's
presence. So that is another element of

its probate, presented by w. w. Sander
son. in which it is set forth that Reade
died on October q, and that he left an es-
tate valued at $500.
The filing of the Photographic will of the
man at one time suspected of writing the
much talked of Reynolds statement in
the Durrant case suggests a comparison
between the two writings. Such COM
parison favors the theory that Reade is
not Reynolds, however, for the writings
are very unlike each other. A notable
thing about the will is the marked SINH
larity of the three signatures attached,
those of Reade, Ella Dressed and III. Dres-
sci. They suggest at once that they were
written by the same person.
The case will come before Judge Coffey
November 10, when the proof of the will,
which means proof of Reade's death, will
be listened to with interest.
