WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Al the de-

the indictments returned by the grand
jury against President Havemeyer and
Secretary Searles of the American Sugar
Refinery company, Broker Seymour of
New York, and Correspondents E.. J.
Edwards and J. o. Schriver were over
ruled by Judge Cole in the criminal
court, and the defendants required to
plead to the indictments.
Writ of Habeas Corpus Next.
The cases will probably now go direct
to the United States supreme court ON a
writ of habeas corpus, following a plea
OF not guilty, by the defendants
In the two cases against Edwards and
Schriver, the newspaper correspondents,
the court said the only additional feat
ures to the stock brokers' cases We're,
first, as to the relevancy of the particu-
lar questions put to the newspaper cor
respondents and, second, whether they
should be excused from answering ON
the ground of privileged communica-
tions. As to relevancy, Judge Coles
stated that both witnesses testified they
did not have personal knowledge of the
matters published, but claimed to have
personal knowledge of the matters pub
lished, but claimed to have information
from persons understood to have per-
sonal knowledge of the matter and the
other question was a question pertinent
to the inquiry as to their informant's
name.
The court ruled that it was pertinent
as to the information being a privileged
communication. The court said it did
not appear that either correspondent
refused to answer on the ground that it
might incriminate, a question which the
court might have considered.

LEARY MUST HANG
New Trial Denied by the
Supreme Court.
Only Executive Clemency Can Save
the Neck of the Man Who Killed
Martin Bonetti at CastroVille.

An opinion was handed down from the
Supreme Court yesterday in the case Of
the appeal of William Leary. who was
convicted of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged. Leary APP
pealed from the judgment and order over
ruling his motion for new trial.
The judgment and order of the lower
court are affirmed. the opinion is signed
by Justce Van Fleet and concurred in by
Jus ices Mcfarland, Harrison, De Haven
and Garoutte.
Justice Beatty filed dissenting opinion,
holding that the Judgment and order
should be reversed and setting forth hi g
reasons therefor at some length. Nothing
but executive clemency can now save
Leary from the death penalty.
One of the grounds urged for reversal
of judgment was that the Judge read pub
lished accounts in newspapers OF the trial
during its progress prejudicial to the de-
PENDANT. 1t was urged that the Salinas
Daily Journal published resume of the
evidence each day. and that during the
progress of the trial COPIES of The paper
were read by the jurors, and that on one
occasion one of the jurors, referring to a
publication about the trial. said: They
get that mighty straight" A second
ground urged was that the jurors were
guilty of misconduct in the use of intOxi-
eating drinks. The evidence showed that
the jurors had not drunk enough liquor to
become intoxicated.
1t was urged that the verdict given was
against the law and the evidence. Other
technical objections were urged.
Justice Beatty in his opinion declared
that the trial Judge did orally instruct the
jury in the absence of the official reporter
In concluding Justice Beatty says. after
referring to the question as to the sanity
of the condemned man: ''In view of this
evidence, think the giving Of the follow
ing instruction" referring TO that given by
the Superior Judge of Monterey County,
was manifest error: If the defendant
was so far in possession of his mental
faculties as to be capable of knowing that
the act of killing was wrong, any partial
defect of understanding which may cause
him more readily to give way TO passion
than a man ordinarily reasonable cannot
be considered for any purpose
And the defendant, having been con-
victed of murder in the first degree, the
error is as manifestly Injurious. For this
reason think the judgment and order
should be reversed"
William Leary killed Martin Bonetti in
Mike Walsh's saloon. Castroville, Monte
rev County, on September 81, 1898. The
evidence showed that when Leary entered
the saloon Bouetti arose and said: 81 am
not the man." Leary called him a vile
name and stabbed him TO The heart. 1t
seems that there had been previous trou-
bic between the two and that Bonetti had
abused Learv in the presence of the lat
ter's family. Evidence was introduced to
show that Leary was of unsound mind.

Frightened to Death. i.

There are several well authenticated cases
where fright was the cause OF DEATH An Eng
fish surgeon tells OF drummer in India across
whose legs harmless lizard crawled while he
WAS half asleep. He was sure that cobra had
bitten him. and 1t was too much for his nerves,
and he died.
Frederick OF Prussia WAS killed by fear.
His wife was insane, ana one day she escaped
from her keeper, and. daublng her clothes
with blood, rushed upon her husband while he

But perhaps the most remarkable death from
fear was that OF the Dutch painter P ntman,
who lived III the seventeenth century. One
day he went into a room full of anatomical sub
jects to sketen some skulls and bones for a
picture he Intended 10 paint. The weather was
very suliry, and while sketching he fell asleep.
He was aroused by bones dancing around him

equate for city which is to cover several
hundred square miles. There must be
for popular convenience in such
city not only the system of rectangu-
lar streets. as found in the upper
parts Of Manhattan Island, but in adj
dition to that system of radial ave-
nues and concentric boulevards as Is
seen in Vienna. That ideal city would re-
semble checkerboard upon which had
been painted a wheel with hub 10 the
csnter and several circumferences or clrcu-
lar boulevards. The radial avenues dverg-
ing from the central hub would serve as
the great arteries for the rapid transporta-
ton, morning and night, of many thou
sands of people residing in the GU er cir
Gle. There would also be secondary
system of transportation along the check
er-board streets for the convenience OF
reOple having shorter distances to go. Dr.
Shaw is of the opinion that city should
operate its own street railways. as is done
in Glasgow, or should at least own the
tracks. as is commonly the case throughout
ENGLAND.
1t is encouraging to know that DR.. Shaw
is firmly convinced that there Is o need to
be alarmed at this tendency of inner dis
tricts to empty their populations into
municipal centers. He believes that mod
new conditions and solve any unfamiliar
municipal problems that may be pre-
sented He points 10 the encouraging tact
that although the population of London
has increased from less than 100000
which it WAS thirty years ago, to
nearly 5000 COO at present. there has been
a reduction in the annual death rate from
thirty in a thousand to nineteen or twenty
in thousand. which means that half
million lives have been saved by sanitary
improvements in the past ten years. This
lower death rate. while showing a fairly
good average, is still somewhat above the
ordinary death rate in the rural districts.
and will doubtless be brought down to
that lower rate with the introduction of
better municipal conditions.
