A SAN BERNARDINO ERROR.
The MISTAKE OF A CLERK MAY
RENDER INDICTMENTS
VOID.
CONVICTED CRIMINALS May HAVE
ANOTHER CHANCE TO ESCAPE
PUNISHMENT.

SAN BERNARDINO, March 22.-The
case of Juan Ferra, the accomplice of
Amelio Garcia in the murder of Chicken
Jim, came up again in the Superior Court
on motion to quash the indictment on the
ground of the illegality of the Grand Jury,
but the court continued further hearing of
the motion until tomorrow.
1t seems the original order for a special
venire to fill the Grand Jury was drawn in
the usual form from the body of the
county" but the clerk in copying it in the
minutes made the mistake of adding the
words 'and not from bystanders." 1t
is claimed by lawyers that this will invali-
date the Grand Jury and render void several
important murder trials as we'll as quash
indictments in half a dozen cases now
pending.
Mrs. Kate Barnes, charged with COM
pllcity IN poisoning her husband; Juan
Ferra, accused of murder, and c. B.
Barnes, charged with robbing the bank at
Ontario, are among the cases awaiting trial
under indictments Of the Grand Jury.
Amelie Garcia has been tried and sem
fenced to be hanged on June next, and
John Daley was tried and sentenced to
seventeen years in the penitentiary upon
indictments which will be declared void if
the decision proves to be as expected. A
retrial OF these cases will involve thousands
OF dollars OF expense and afford the crimi-
nails another opportunity to escape.

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 22.-Dodg-
ing around on small steamer to escape
from a madman armed with a revolver is
no pleasant experience, yet that was what
Michael Manson, Justice of the Peace and
owner of the steamer Stella, and two mem
bers of the crew had to do Tuesday night
for over two hours.
The steamer was anchored at Quathiaska
cove, Valdez Island, $50 miles up the coast
when a man named Jacob Lobb came
aboard and asked for passage to Salmon
River. Manson intended to start at
o'clock, so two members of the crew went
to sleep in the pilot-house while he and
the stranger sat before the fire reading.
About o'clock Manson went to examine
the engines. Just before Manson left, the
stranger who gave the name of Gosnell
began talking in peculiar manner, but
Manson thinking he had been drinking
paid no attention to it.
Manson was just returning to the pilot
house when he heard a shot. He i'm
mediately ran up, when another shot hit
the lantern he was carrying, completely
smashing it and putting them in darkness
The two hands of the steamer came run
ming to Manson and told him that the
stranger had suddenly opened fire on
them with a revolver. Grant, one of the
deckhands, was shot in the thigh and
badly wounded.
Gosnell was then seen approaching and
for nearly two hours the men had lively
time escaping from the madman, who took
up position in the pilot-house, thus pre-
venting escape to shore. Occasionally he
would suddenly appear on either side oi
the steamer and shoot if he thought he
saw one of them.
At last the maniac went ashore and
Manson instantly got up steam and started
off for neighboring Indian ranch. Three
Indians were pressed into service anG
together they managed to secure the mar
while asleep and he was brought here ane
lodged in Jail.

FOUND IN SAN QUENTIN.
CONVICT Ross, WHO SOUGHT TO
ESCAPE, Is Now IN SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT.
THE FUGITIVE DID Nor GET BE-
YoND THE Roof OF THE
JUTEMILL.

SAN QUENTIN, March 22.-Convict
Ross, after enjoying one day of liberty, is
again in a cell in the State prison in soli-
tary confinement. He was captured at 1
o'clock to-day.
Ross was a worker in the iutemill. Yes
terday at noon he was missed from his
bench by the guards who at once marched
the other prisoners back to their cells and
sounded a general alarm. Warden Hale
felt certain, as stated in the CALL this
morning, that Ross had not got beyond
the confines of the prison, but to make as
surance doubly sure he sent out searchers
through the adjacent country while a
search was made of the prison premises.
This search continued all night under the
supervision of Captains Jameson, Edgar
and Berlin.
AT o'clock this afternoon the searchers
discovered the crouching figure of Ross
under ventilator on top of the intemill.
When called on to surrender the prisoner
readily complied, saying to the officers:
"Well, you have beaten me again. The
game is up" He was then placed in soli-
tary confinement, where he will remain
until the next meeting of the Board of
Prison Directors, who will pass on his case.
Ross only means of escape from where
he was hiding was by reaching the wall,
which he could easily have done, and
dropping off. But this he dared not risk
owing to the watch that was being kept.
This is the second time he has tried to
escape. The first time he was caught dig
ging underground, for which he lost all
his credits
