The case was that of Herman Sparf and

consisted in the killing Of the mate,
Maurice Fitzgerald, and an attempt to
kill the captain by the prisoners and
others of the crew. with the view OF
eeizing the vessel and turning it into q
piraticsl craft. Many legal compIica-
tions were involved, and the oour:

important precedent was being estab-
lished in tia opinion rendered. The
principal opinion WAS rendered by JUS
tice Harlan, and affirmed the decision
of the court below with regard to Ham
sen. bu. reversed it with regard to Sparf.

msnding the case of Sparf, while Jus
ticss Gray and Shiras held that the YER
dict should be set aside in regard to

Special to THE HERALD.
RIVERSIDE, Jan. 21.-Mrs. Sarah j.
Rowley, the victim of Charles ]. Moss,
the PERKS embezzler who committed
suicide, will have a preliminary hearing
at that town tomorrow afternoon on
charges OF forgery and perjury. Moss,
it is now learned, carried bis hatred
OF the widow to such an extreme that at
the very time when he was preparing to
commit suicide he was arranging to
have Mrs. Rowley arrested. Only an
hour or two before killing himself the
man won't before justice of the peace
at Perris and swore to a complaint
charging Mrs. Rowlsy with the offsnseu
mentioned.
The ground on which Moss based his
charges dates back to transaction some
months ago. The 1widow's daughter,
Alice NJ. Rowley, had died, leaving real
estate to which Mrs. Rowley was heir.
Moss represented to the woman that he
knew method of settling up the dead
girls estate which would be without
expense. He induced Mrs. Rowley to
give him power OF attorney made out
in Alice's name and purporting to have
been signed by her. He then induced
Mrs. Rowley to acknowledge this instru.
ment before notary, signing her name
A. M. Rowley. MoHs then disposed OF
the property.
On the strength OF Moss complaint q
Ferris justice issued the warrant and
the widow has been arrested. II ia
thought, however, the prosecution will
not be pressed as it is not believed she
intended to commit any crime.
