LACKING IN EVIDENCE.
Testimony of Witnesses for
the Prosecution Not
Sufficient.
CARELEssNEss HIS OFFENsE
Pills and Powders Mixed Indiscrin1I-
nately In the Physicians
Medicine Chest.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 24.-Dr. Henry
Case charged with causing the death of
Elezar Frost, the capitalist who died by
poison, has been released. Justice Dwyer,
at the conclusion of the prosecutions evil
dence, announced that the evidence was
not sufficient to hold the accused, and the
case was dismissed. The result was re-
ceived with Jog by DR.. Cases friends, who
have asserted from the outset that he was
innocent of evil intent.
Professor Cunningham, who made the
chemical analysis of the stomach and
brain of the deceased, was the first witness
called to-day, and described the process OF
his analysis. He found the lining Of the
stomach to be congested and an erosion
about one inch by two inches in the lining.
This he concluded had been eaten away,
not by digestion, but after death. He had
found mercurous chloride, mercuric chlor-
ide and mercuric sulphide in the organs. A
few weeks later he secured portion of the
brain and his examination disclosed the
presence Of 6.18 grains of sulphide of mer-
curry. He had examined the powders left
by DR.. Case and found they contained
quinine, a carbonate OF soda, oxide of mer-
curry, mercurOuS Cnlorlue anu Iuercurlc
chloride. He had examined DR.. Cases
medicine chest and found that it was kept
in a careless manner, none of the bottles
being labeled. In the seven tablets said
to contain morphine, only one contained
that drug. The bottle said to have con-
tanned calomel contained a trace Of mer-
curic chloride or corrosive sublimate.
Professor Cunningham said he had
failed to find any trace of morphine in his
analysis.
At the conclusion of Professor Cunning
hams testimony the prosecution was pre-
pairing to offer more evidence. Attorney
Bowden of DR.. Cases counsel said he
would admit the testimony without hear
ing it, and moved for a dismissal of the
case. District Attorney Harrington OBJ
jected to the charge being dismissed.
Justice Dwyer said the evidence was not
sufficient to hold the defendant, and made
an order dismissing the case.

Those Indian Depredations.

Lander, Wyo., July 16.-Word has
been sent from Lander to the settlers
in .Jackson's Hole that, if needed, a
party will organize here of fast riders
and good shots to assist in enforcing
the game laws against the Indians, the
same as they are enforced against the
whites. There is much indignation
here because the Indian agents permit
these rowing bands to come into the

practice is kept up, the settlers will

rived today, and reports the steamer
Portland was wrecked last week near
Dungas island. The vessel was going
from Seattle to Chinook river laden
with supplies. Near Dungas island
thick weather came on and she an.

Alaska the tides have a fall of over
thirty feet. In few hours, when the
tide was at its lowest, a sharp rock
pierced the keel, demolishing the
timbers and wholly wrecking the
steamer. Every effort was made to
save the vessel, without avail, but
most of the movable property was taken
ashore. The Portland is said to be
owned by Captain A. Brotherton and
others, of Seattle, and to represent a
loss of $4,000.

NO FATALITIES AS YET
Details of the Catastrophe at
Atlantic City.
INVESTIGATION WILL FOLLOW
The Accident Was Caused by tho Col
lapse of the Second Floor over
II Refreshment Saloon.

Atlantic City, n. J., July 13.-No
deaths have as yet resulted from the
disaster last night at the Baltic-avenue
casino, although, in other respects, the
details of the occurrence have not been
exaggerated. A conservative estimate
places the number of wounded close to
200. OF these only one is in immedi-
ate danger, Frederick Claproth, of
Jennings band, Camden. The report
that both Claproth and Miss Jennie
Rockwell, of Philadelphia, were dead,
is untrue. The accident was caused
by the collapse of the second floor of
the building, over the refreshment pa
vilion. just previous to the crash, Jen-
nings band began to play for the Elks,
and the majority of the people We're
thus attracted to the upper floor. But
for this there would have been a great
loss of life A party of New York del,
egateS were below, but heard the
alarming crash Of timbers and escaped
TO the board walk outside not second
too soon. The great weight of the
crowd was the primary cause Of the ac-
cideut, but there is talk of fixing the
responsibility, it having been gener-
ally thought that the structure was old
and dilapitated.
The Casino building fronts the ocean
from the board walk at the head OF
Baltic avenue. IL is a frame, two
story structure, built about two years
ago by the Casino Amusement Com
panv. 1t has been unoccupied for the
past two seasons.
When the pillars supporting the up
per floor gave way, the floor collapsed
into funnel shaped gap, forming a
"V," open at the apex to the lower
floor, which fortunately stood the
shock. Those sitting i'll the middle OF
the room were at the bottom of the
heap of humanity, which filled the
space. Cries of women and shouts OF
the men added to the confusion. As
soon as possible willing hands assisted
i'll the work of rescue, and the injured
were conveyed to the hospitals, resi-
dences and hotels.
Every house was thrown open for the
reception Of the injured, and every
available conveyance was pressed into
service to carry them to their hotels.
Meanwhile the physicians We're on the
scene and doing all i'll their power to
aid the unfortunates who had been
caught in the crash. The excitement
amid the assembled crowds was great
er than in the immediate neighborhood
of the wrecked building. The people
injured were those who We're so untor'
tunate as to fall underneath the mass.
The scene of the casulty is being Wis
listed by thousands today. The injured,
who are scattered all over the island III
cottages, hotels and hospitals, are do
ing we'll as far as heard from.
1t is understood that the authorities
will begin an investigation with a
view of ascertaining the cause, and
also to provide against the possibility
of recurrence of such a catastrophe
