dents of Haywards, created great excite
ment in that town to-day by exhibiting
several specimens of gold quartz which
they stated they found in the hills near
town. They refused to tell the exact loca-
tion of their find, but assured everybody
that they had obtained the quartz while
prospecting for ledge that they had been
told was in the neighborhood.
The specimens were brought in to Oak
land and shown to several mining experts,
who all declared that it was worth mining
if sufficient quantity could be obtained.
1t IS stated that the ore is of the nature
that Is generally found on the outside of
rich vein, and this rendered the prospect
ors more anxious to keep the location OF
the ledge a secret.
+. B. Hooson, who has lived at Hay
wards all his life, says that there have been
several miners during the past few years
prospecting to the north OF town, and
although nothing more than bare indt-
cation was found there was general
opinion that gold would be found there.
As usual in such cases, there is much in
Credulity expressed among those who saw
the specimens, but Godell and Rodgers
declare that they are speaking in good
faith, and will not reveal the source OF the
quartz till they have made some more care
full investigations.

In the cross-examinatlon Of Mrs. Red
mayne little that was new was developed.
This afternoon Attorney Maggie and De-
tective Foster, who has been gathering
evidence for the prosecution, came to
war of words. The attorney accused the
(Naegle). and declared that if this was not
stopped he would shoot not only the spot
terS but the man who put them on his
track. Mr.. Foster emphatically denied
the charge, but both men were so heated
that blows would have been exchanged
ney Naegle afterward stated that he knew
the prosecution was putting men on his
track and that he did not propose to allow
it. He had seen one man behind tree in
the Courthouse yard, and had been told by
another person that the man was there
to watch his movements. Detective Fos-
ter secuted the idea that Naegle was being
watched saying that the attorneys desire
was TO obtain all the notoriety possible out
of the case, and that this was good way
to do it.

rumor came from remark that had been
made in the hearing of juror, II would
never convict man of murder upon cir
cumstantlal evidence" The name of the
person who made the remark was not
learned, so no further proceedings were
taken.
Sing Must Answer.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 12.-Ah Sing,
the Chinese lottery boss, was examined in
the Police Court to-day on a charge of
having attempted to bribe Chief OF Police
Lloyd. The defendant was represented by
Judge Robert Ferral of San Francisco and
Attorneys Chapman and Bradley. The
only feature of the days proceedings was
the testimony of Officer Banks, and the
nature of his cross-eXamination clearly
showed what the defense will be when the
case comes to trial. All the efforts of the
attorneys were directed to showing that
Banks is an unreliable man, and that his
testimony should not be accepted. 1t was
brought out that the witness at one time
kept a saloon at San Diego, and that he
had a contract to buy saloon at Hay
wards, but had not entered into it. He
denied that he had ever taken money from
Cinnamon to prevent their arrest.
The witness then told in detail of the
meeting at his home when the Chinaman
offered him a sack of money to give to
Chief Lloyd for the purpose of allowing
lottery games to run in Oakland. The
Chief, Captain Wilson, a stenographer and
citizen were present and were secreted,
but heard all that transpired. The China
man then stated that he had paid at the
rate OF SIS per month for each lottery
Joint permitted 20 be run by ex-Chief of
Police Schaffer. Schaffer has been hunting
up evidence for the defense, and was on
hand all day. The stenographic report of
the interview was read. and after the prose-
cution had rested, little attempt was made
at defense.
Judge Wood held the prisoner to answer
to the Superior Court.
