The SUSPECTED WEBER MURDERER.
"Shy Red" Arrested Yesterday IN
San Francisco.
Sheriff johnson VIII Go to the City
To-day and Bring the Sus.
pect Here.

The news was received here last night
that Harry Sands, alias ''Shy Red" alias
Sanz. the man who is suspected of having
murdered Mr.. and Mrs. F. III. L. Weber
In this city on the night of the 29th of
December last, had been arrested in San
Francisco, and Sheriff Johnson at once
made preparations for going to that city
this morning to bring the prisoner here.
1t has been claimed that man mere
named Ellis Harlow gave coat TO ohy
Red" short time before the Weber MUIR
der, and that Harlow identified one OF the
blood-stained coats found In barrel In
the rear of the Weber store as the one he
had given to ''Shy Red"
The suspect is we'll known here, having
been frequently arrested for petty Of
fenses. 1t was thought at one time that
he was arrested at San Bernardino. but
the prisoner turned out to be an inno-
cent man.
The officers here claim that they can
make out a very strong case against
''Shy Red" and Detective Simmons told
the Supervisors yesterday that he could
be convicted if arrested.
The crime of which the prisoner is sus-
pected was one of the most fiendlSh that
ever occurred in the State. Old MIR.
Weber and his wife were butchered in
their residence and robbed of large sum
of money near midnight The chief
weapon employed was an ak, with which
the bodies of the victims were frightfully
beaten and cut.
It is to be hoped the San Francisco po-
lice have arrested the right man, and that
his arrest may lead to the detection OF
his confederates in the awful crime. The
reward for the arrest and conviction OF
the murderers amounts to several thou
sand dollars.

MED.

Motion to Dismiss the Indictment De-
MED.
In Department One of the Superior
Court yesterday, when the case of Charles
II. Merkley, charged with perjury in
having testified falsely before the Grand
Jury. was called, his attorneys, c. Il.
Jones and A. L. Hart, moved the court
to quash the Indictment on the ground
that the names of all the witnesses who
testified before the Grand Jury in refer
ence to Merkley's case were not indorsed
on the Indictment Mr.. Jones supported
the motion by reading section Of the
Penal Code, which provides that the in
dictment on information must be set
aside by the court, when the names of the
witnesses examined before the Grand
Jury, or whose depositions may have
been read before it, are not inserted at the
foot of theindictment or indorsed thereon.
The motion toNquash the Indictment
was denied. The defendant then filed a
demurrer, which was taken under ad-
yisement.

The Ground on which His Counsel De-
murs to the Complaint.
w. A. Anderson, attorney for All Dock,
charged with having robbed sluice- boxes
at Folsom (the charge being grand
larceny, has filed demurrer to the in
formation on the ground that the Act OF
1872, making the taking of gold or ANAL
gum from mining sluices felony with
out regard to amount, is invalid, it hav-
ing been repealed by the adoption of the
Penal Code.
Mr.. Anderson contends that the Act in
question purports to be an amendment OF
the Grimes and Punishments" Act OF
1850, which was superseded by the Penal
Code, and that the Act of 1872 was in fact
an amendment to repealed statute. He
also takes the stand that the Codes super
sede former laws. AS they were adopted
in 1872 and went into effect January /,
lS73 the Act upon which the charge is
based became invalid.

A Case of Slander That Grew Out of

Trivial Matter.
A telephone message from Woodland

story of the Three Black Crows" over

near Guinda, was the subject of some
slanderOus stories that caused her to be
summed by her schoOlmates. The girl.
an innocent and modest one, knew moth
ing Of the stories for a long time. But
the yarns grew, and were magnified. AT
last the mother of the girl heard OF them.
She told her hus band, and he traced the
slander to Mrs. L. d. Rockholder.
Mrs. Rockholder was arrested-sub-
mitted to arrest to have the affair cleared
up-and on the witness-stand told who
was her informant, and who had told that
person. Finally the untruth was traced
down, or up, to a sentence written In q
