JURORS BECOMING ILL
Novel Request Made In the Wootton Case at
Fresno

Fresno
FRESNO, April 12-Several jurors in
the Sanders forgery case complained to-
day of feeling i'll and asked that the attor-
neys bring the trial to conclusion as
soon as possible.
The county has been at a very heavy
expense in the investigation of the
Wootton case, and it was manifestly i'm
possible to cut short the testimony on
either side without prejudice to the inter-
ests of justice on both Sides. Judge Webb
therefore rescinded the order committing
the jury to the custody of the sheriff and
permitted the jurors to go home each
evening, with caution not to talk about
the case or read the newspapers.
The testimony today bore almost ex-
clusively on the book from which the
forged draft is presumed to heve been
torn and the evidence of grand jurors
and others was submitted to show that
when they examined it there were forty
nine untorn leaves and one stub. Ex-
District Attorney Church testified that
since then he had permitted counsel for
the defense to remove six or seven of
the leaves for the purpose of examination
and that a writing had been given to
that effect. The prosecution will close it's
testimony tomorrow morning.

men to President Cleveland asking him
to make an address in that city on the
subject of currency has been followed by
intimations from other places that the
members of the cabinet were wanted to
make similar addresses in order that the
position of the administration may be
placed before the country in most fore
ible way.
The President has not yet answered the
Chicago invitation but if he finds it i'm
possible to go it is expected that he will
decline in letter expressing clearly his
views on the subject of money.
The campaign within the Democratic
party against the free coinage movement
will no doubt take its key note from the
Presidents letter and the speeches which
may be made by members of the cabinet.
The campaign will be directed against the

WHISKY TRUST PROPERTY
Auction Sale Will Be Held by Order of
the Court
Judge Of a Federal Tribunal flakes a Decision
in the Case-.-Text Of the
Opinion

CHICAGO. April 12.-The properties of
the whisky trust will be sold to the high
est bidder. Judge Showalter, of the
United States Circuit Court, in an order
issued today, admitted that the trust no
longer had legal existence. Its board
of directors were charged with having
deserted its trusteeship; that it had no
quorum and any election of a new board
would not enable them to re-acquire the
property from the receiver. The court
directed that the receiver sell the prop
erty and that the proceeds be distribut-
ed among those entitled thereto The
attorneys for the Greenhut faction and
for the stockholders consented to the
action OF the court.
The bill upon which the order was
based begins with a recital that the last
meeting OF directors was held February
18th. Since the directors have aband-
oned their trust and paid no attention to
it, affairs, it claims, the sole manage
ment has been in the hands of John Nc
Nulta, receiver.
The resignation of Nelson Morris left
the board consisting of Messrs. Green
hut. Hobart. Greene, FreibeIg. Hen
messy and Beggs. On April 8th, the COM
plainants aver, Hobart, Greene and Frei-
berg resigned. There are but three di-
rectors left and the bill alleges that they
do not constitute a quorum; that they
cannot fill the vacancies.
The bill then rccites that the attorney
general of the state, by quo warranto pro-
ceedings attacked the charter of the
trust, and that the lower court held that
it was forfeited, and the issue is now
pending before the Supreme Court of the
state. The prayer of the bill TO which
the order granted by Judge Showalter ad-
heres is as follows
That by an order entered herein. the
said John McNulta may be appointed re-
ceiver of all the property and effects of
said defendant company and invested
with full title thereto as receiver and that
all of the officers, managers, superintend-
cnts, agents and employees of said de-
fendant company shall be required forth
with to deliver up to such re-
cevcr the possession of each and
every part of said property, wher-
ever situated, and also all books, ac-
counts, vouchers and papers in any way
relating to its business or the operation
thereto, or an Injunction to restrain each
and every officer, director, superinten-
dent manager, agent and employee OF
said defendant from in any way inter
fering with the possession and control of
said receiver over said property and at
such time as may be found just and
proper the property of said defendant
may be ordered to be sold and the pro-
ceeds distributed among those entitled
thereto, -
