A sudden stroke of apoplexy nearly

8. j. Thomas Gets Another Chance
From the Supreme Court.

& y. Thomas Gets Another Chance
From the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has reversed the
order DENYING new trial in the case of
the people against S. J. Thomas, charged
with burglary.
Thomas was convicted of burglary and
sentenced to San Quentin for twenty-five
wears. At the arraignment he pleaded
not guilty to the information and guilty
to a prior conviction in October, 1894.
During the trial the Judge in Oakland be-
fore whom he appeared allowed one Of the
witnesses to testify that Thomas had
already served term in San Quentin for
burglary. This, the Supreme Court holds,
was fatal error.
When man pleads guilty to prior
conviction, the opinion states, that fact ls
merely to serve as an assistance to the
trial Judge in setting the term of sentence
should he be convicted, and OH no account
is he to allow any evidence Of the prior con-
viction to go before the jury, and it must
even be left out of the indictment when
that is read. On the other hand. how
over, if the prisoner pleads not guilty to
the prior conviction it at once becomes a
matter of fact and can be laid before the
jury. In Thomas case a plea OF guilty
was entered to the prior conviction, and
because it was allowed to become a matter
OF testimony in the case the Supreme
Court has granted the defendant new
trial.

"A member of the Republican National

the National Convention next year;
f'At-the present time a majority of the COM
nlittee:is undoubtedly pledged to San Fran
cisco. Unless they can find some way to be re-

.-"How does it happen that so many members
fofsthe committee are pledged to vote for San
Francisco2'-.
4Well, San francisco the last time made q
vigorous fight to get the convention, aad a
great many members to escape the importuni-
ties of the San Francisco people put them off
with the statement that they would vote for
San Francisco next time. Probably most of
them believed that they would not be on the
committee four years later, or at any rate that
+ their promises would be forgotten before 1896.
1t appears that the majority of the old men,
'bers OF the committee were continued on it,
and it also appears now that San Francisco
has,beer keeping books. Every man who gave
even "a suggestion OF a promise to vote for the
CALIFORNIA; city this year has been reminded of
it.. As have stated, clear majority of the
committee is pledged to vote to send the con-
/ vention TO San Francisco. Mr.. Quay however,
is working very hard for Pittsburg, and he
may. be. able, through his close relationship
with the members of the committee, to turn
! the scale in favor of the Smoky City, The
choice will lie, think, between San Francisco
and Pittsburg. The Republican National Con-

Prospects That the Line Will Finally
Be Extended to Oak.
land. :.

/ STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 15.-The new
railroad, over. which there has been so
much talk, is to be backed by John D. Nc
Kee OF San Francisco and the Stanislaus
and San Joaquin Canal Company.
This much is known, but where Rosen-
field & Son come in on the proposition is
not known, although this firm, with other
dealers in coal, is still believed to be inter-
ested.
The backing of Mckee and the canal
company indicates that tie line will run
near Tracy over to the wheat-growing Sec
tion known as the West Side.
If the other capitalists do not take up
the enterprise, the line will likely end
there, but Oakland influence is certainly
strong enough to bring the road to the
coal region near Corral Hollow should not
be taken up at present.
General II. l. Wiley and Mr.. Mckee
will return to Stockton on Tuesday to per-
feet the railroad plans. Preparatory to
undertaking the railroad scheme the
canal company is to be reorganized
to morrow by the election of John
d. Mckee as president, H. W. Cowell
IS vice president, w. B. Harrison, treas
urer, and E. Z. Cowell as secretary. Gen.
eral H. I. Wiley and John d. Mckee will
become directors by the retirement of the
Lcadbetters.
Mr. Mckee and his associates will carry
the road through the West Side country
TO develop that region. and other capital
lists will continue from near Corral Hollow
on to Oakland, to also largely serve their
business interests.
