WINTHROP is RENAMED,
The Supreme Court Refuses
to Grant His Writ of
HabeaS Corpus.
of Guilt There Is Enough to
Hold Him.

The writ of habeas corpus applied for to
the Supreme Court by o. w. Winthrop
has been denied by Chief Justice Beatty
and the prisoner has been remanded into
custody. The opinion accompanying the
decision is self-explanatory and is as
follows:
The prisoner is in custody of the Sheriff of
San Francisco under an order holding him to
answer on charge OF murder and asks to be
released upon the ground that he was COM
mitted without reasonable or probable cause.
With his return to the writ OF habeas corpus
the Sheriff has submitted transcript of the
evidence adduced at the examination of the
prisoner before the convicting magistrate,
which l have carefully examined.
The result is that while do not deem it very
satisfactory or convincing l still cannot say
that it is legally insufficient TO justify the
order holding the prisoner to answer. To main
tain such an order it is not necessary that the
evidence should be so convincing as to justify
a verdict against the suspected party, but it is
sufficient if it points to him and induces a be-
lief that he may have committed the offense
charged.
1t is unnecessary and would perhaps be i'm
proper TO review the evidence in detail, and
content myself with saying that while the con-
duct and bearing OF the prisoner at and subse-
quent to the time when he was first seen in
company with Mrs. Matthews at the cemetery
have been those of an innocent and humane
man, and while the evidence as to the insur-
ance of her life in his favor trustee for her
little daughter is totally insufficient to show
any motive for causing her DEATH there is yet
some testimony which, If true, tends to prove
that he gave her the strychnine which IN
doubtedly caused her death.
Some of this testimony was perhaps incom-
petent, but it was admitted without objection,
and IL is not clear that its competency might
not have been shown ii the objection had been
made.
On the whole I feel obliged to remand the
prisoner. So ordered.
Winthrop's petition was for a writ of ha-
beas corpus on the ground that he had
been held to answer to the charge of MUIR
der without any evidence against him. He
applied first to Judge Murphy OF the SUI
perior Court, and Judge Murphy refused
sion ends all possibility OF escape on his
present line of defense

CLERK. O'BRIEN DENIES.
Contradictory Statements About the
Missing Complaint and Warrant for
Attorney Longs Arrest.

The extraordinary disappearance of the
complaint sworn to by James Carroll
charging James HI. Long with felony en-
bezzlement and the accompanying war
rant of arrest from Judge Campbeu's court
room on Wednesday is greater mystery
than ever.
Attorney Martin Stevens, who drew up
the complaint made inquiry yesterday
morning as to the complaint and warrant
and was told by Clerk O'Brien that they
had not yet been found. Stevens left after
stating that he would get another COM
plant sworn to.
Clerk O'Brien, in the presence of Prose-
cutting Attorney Forbes, was asked in the
afternoon if the missing documents had yet
turned up and be replied in the negative.
1t was learned from reliable source that
both documents were in the possession Of
Clerk OBrien, who stated that he had
found them among some papers and
Prosecuting Attorney Forbes remarked
that there was no use in making such a
fuss about it. Sergeant Houghtal1ng, who
has charge of the warrants at the Central
Police station, was asked ii the warrant
had been sent to him and he said it had
not, which rather surprised him.
The mystery now is why Clerk O'Brien
should deny to one that the papers were
still missing and previous to that denial
show the papers to another and explain
that he had found them among some
papers, and also why the warrant for
Longs arrest is being held back.
