STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
13.-The athletic committee met TO-DAY
and heard the football manager report on
the feasibility and expense of a new
"gridiron" to be used during the coming
seasons games. 1t was decided to use the
outfield of the baseball grounds. which

favorably situated for work during the

The players are getting out in a very
encouraging manner thus far. Under
the coaching of Captain Cochran

done in punting. Hereafter for a
week or more there will be field

This practice will be given Mondays,

settled satisfactorily to those gentlemen.

DUNRAVEN,S COURSE UPHELD.

Will Consent to Race.
LONDON, Eng, Sept. Ii. = The feeling
throughout England over the failure of
the match between Valkyrie III and the
Defender, though embodying many shades
of opinion, generally upholds Lord Dun
raven, who is considered to have just cause
for abandoning yesterdays race.
The opinion most generally held is that
he was beset with difficulties especially
abhorred by him, though in some quarters
it is thought he was possibly hasty. Know
ing Lord Dunraven's temper, those hold
ing this view hope that he will be willing
to arrange for contests between his boat
and the Defender over some other course
than the one off Sandy Hook and espe-
cially that he will consent to re-sail last
Thursday race, which was given to the
Defender by the cup committee.
United States ambassador Bayard, in an
interview about yesterday s fiasco, said to-
day:
81 deplore the inconcluslveness of the
contest, but 1 have abiding confidence in
the integrity Of the committee and don't
believe that there was any lapse on their
part of the slightest nature. The conspic-
uous American characteristics, generosity
and fairness, have always been displayed,
and am unwilling to think that there are
grounds for any criticism of the sports
manlike qualities of Americans. l trust
that Lord Dunraven will reconsider his
decision and accept Mr.. Iselin's offer to re-
sail Thursdays race. recognize the diff
Guilty in maintaining a clear course
off Sandy Hook in view of the present en-
thusiasm and general desire to see the

possible by accompanying the racers on a

Kccpinr within the evidence along the
theory thst the wifo committed the crime,
Amos Stillwcl was asleep. His head was
resting in the center of the bed on boil
s. r. He lay on his right side with the left
side of his face exposed. The wife was UNI
drcsscd-in her nightgown. The NIX must
have boon at that time concealed in the
house There, i'm the dark, with her two
children asleep in n bed near their father,
she must havo crrpt TO the side of tho sleep
ing man and dealt n blow so true and
straight that he never stirred again. Tho
cash was Just beneath tho left car, and
death came like n fash.
And then this Lady Macbeth must
have. with her own feeble hands, dragged
the body from its sleeping posture and
left It, bloody and naked, hanging half out
upon tho floor
Then up and down tho front hall stairs
the matches must havc been scattered the
clothing of the dead rilcd and his money
dropped here and there out the back way
into tho alley, the woman in u night
gown, her bare feet upon the frozen
ground of December. The bloody ak must
have been carried out and laid upon tho
ground in the alley.
And then she must have returned to her
room and wiped the blood away from he
wall at tho head of the bed, The blood that
had spurted from the gaping wound The
niRhtgown stained with crimson must
needs have been discarded, the fresh, clean
gown put on, the servants awakened and
then the wild run across to the house Of
Mr.. League must have followed to bring
the eyes of the world upon the atrocious
butchery she had just completed.
Snch crime as this seems almost be-
yond human belief. Search the records Of
hcndish deeds, and its equal is difficult to
find. ROxanna Drusc a few years ago in
Now York state, butchercd her husband
with an AK and then spent two days burn
ing his remains in tho Kitchen stove, but
she came from lower walk in life, where
culture and refinement were as foreign as
wealth. Tho prosecuting attorney who
would make jury believe that such an
act was done by woman in Mrs. Hearnc' 8
station in life must have no link missing
in his chain of evidence
Rcverting once more to the evidence,
suppose that Dr.. Hcarne was actively i'm
plicated in the crime. The difficulties at
taching to the performance Of the deed
would be thereby lcssencd, but it is also
somewhat difficult to show that DR.. Hearne
was there. At 1890 on the night of the

the missionaries in Turkey. He says that
he has found that one of the most promi-
ncnt Sunday school teachers in Syria spent
three years in the penitentiary n Pitts
burg, and that, taken altogether, they are
Il bad lot. The cause Of all the trouble,
Admiral Kirkland asserts, is that, relying

sionaries, most of which appeals are not

DO Hannibal TO work up the case. He un-
barthed many hidden facts connected with
lhe tragedy, and the indictment Of DR.. and

To say that Hannibal is excited over tho
base but fecbly expresses it. The murder
is discussed everywhere, and everybody
seems to have a theory concerning it. An

blocks from tho Stlllwell residence. This
is testified to by william Munger, who cs-
cortcd the doctors daughter home from a
party that night
1t is hardly probable that DR.. Hcarne
would leave his house before the daughter
was quiet in her room. He was found at
his house in the neiEhhorhood of ;i5 n.
III. The doctors testified that Stillwell
must have been killed before l 80, as the
blood was already drying on him when
they got to tho house before o'clock.
This gives Dr. Hcarne little less than
an hour in which to get to the Stillwcll
house and help his paramour murder the
husband. 1t could have hccn done, but
the limits are pretty narrow Had he
struck the blow it is argued by some that,
big and strong as he Is he would have
sunk tho AK deeper into the mans head.
and as the blood spurtcd up the handle Of
the az it would have probably gotten On
some of his clothing, and some time must
have been taken to change and hide the
stained garments.
A fair presentation of the case thus
shows that, while the evidence against Dr.
Hearnc and his wife is terribly damaging,
there are some points hard to reconcile
Their actions both before and since the
marriage have been such than taken as a
whole, they seem to point to them ms the
murderGs. Every turn the man has made,
almost every protracted conversation he
has had on the subject, has led to the out
cropping Of something that has been used
against him.
1t is interesting to note that the fore
man of the jury that indicted DR.. and Mrs.
Hearne was Elijah Hawkins, a son Of
.,alnison Hawkins, the original Of Colonel
Mulberry Sellers in Mark Twain's "Gild-
ed A Ce -
