LOS ANGELES, CAL. July 8.-Wone
Chuey, who was convicted of murder in
the second degree, was this morning sen
fenced by Judge Smith to life imprison

denied. His attorney was granted twenty
days to file a bill of exceptions.
Wong Chez, who is also to be tried fol
completely in the same murder, was an in

produced visible effect upon him.
The case has been one of unusual inter
est from the bribery charges that were
banded back and forth, the attempted
murder of an important white witness and
the unusual efforts made by the District
Attorney to secure conviction.

WHY CLEVELAND WOULDN'T S:GN
Believes That the Law Forbids Such Ac.
tion Alter Congress Adjourns.

tion Alter Congress Adjourns.
WASHINGTON, March There has been
a good deal of comment over the fact no
less than fifty-six bills failed 20 become
law because the president declined to
af1ix his Signature to them aft,r II O'Clock
on the 4th o. March, the moment when
congress Adjourned. 1t was related in
The Post that a wholly unobjectionable
bill was not signed, although the presi-
dent was considering it and had his pen
in his hand at the hour of noon for the
purpose of signing it.
1t is said that President Lincoln, upon
one occasion at least, teld the authority
to sign bills continued with him until
ten days after congress had adjourned,
and that he approved one important meas
urc in that period. President Grant and
President Harrison We're also credited
with acts of this nature, but it is very
plain that President Cleveland does not
believe that any choice was left him in the
matter
The clause of the constitution bearing
upon this matter is contained i'll the lat
ter part of the seventh article, End reads
rs follows: .If any bill shall not be re-
turned by the president within ten days
(Sundays excepted) after it shall have
been presented to him, the same shall be
a law, in like manner as if he had signed
it, unless the congress by their adjourn
ment prevent its return, in which case it
shall not be a law"

Intimates That One OF the Newspapers
Paws Too Little Taxes.


Pays Too Little Taxes.
The governor says it is n bad time just
nov to revalue land, and suggests that
the legislature postpone revaluation until
the depression has passed away in a meas
urc. He concludes as follows: For the
purpose Of general taxation other prop
erty is assessed at from one-fourth to one
fifth its market value. This newspaper,
aside from the real estate, has a cash mar
ket value of over 81. 0oo, 600, and for many
Years has been paying dividends on this
sum. If il were assessed on the same
lnsis as other property its assessment
would be at least $4,000 and il would
have TO pay upwards OF siD,0U) a year
taxes.
Yet il manages to escape with an as
sessment of only $4,000 and pays only
about 81, i.0o taxes, SO that the owners of
this paper have for many years been able

bank, at Adel, twenty miles west of here,
was robbed by two men, who mortally
wounded Cashier S. NJ. Leach and seri-
ously wounded a customer named Bailey,
who was standing at the window when
they entered. The cashier had just un-
locked the safe and vault and both Leach

Armed Citizens in Pursuit.
Almost before they got outside the
town, however, the alarm had been given,

best he could. Every available vehicle
was pressed into service and a most excit-

much of start, but they had a good
horse, and they nearly drove him to
death. The citizens were almost within

to n frenzy pitch, and the only wonder
expressed is that they brought either OF

HOW JOHN MORGAN GOT AWAY.
Secret History Explaining the Great Gueril-
las Escape from Prison.

COLUMBUS, O., March THE Columbus
Dispatch sent reporter to John hade-
baugh, on Swan street, to get information
about the men who led the horses attached
to the funeral car which carried Lincoln .
remains through the streets of Columbus
en- route from Washington to Springfield,
Ills. Radebaugh at that time was chief
clerk to the United States assistant quar-
termaster, the late Colonel Raymond
Burr, located in this city. Speaking Of
various matters about the war, Mr.. Rade-
baugh said he could give the true account
OF the escape of General John Morgan and
hi, comrades from the Ohio penitentiary.
Being urged to do SO, Mr.. Radebaugh
said:
Stanton ordered their release Stanton
said Morgan was being held in a felon's S
prison in violation of the rules of war
The Confederates were threatening re-
taliation. Stanton cent a secret order to
Governor Tod to release Morgan. The
situation was explained to Tod. There
was fear that the public could not be
made to understand the circumstances.
There was intense feeling against Nor
gan among the people. Radebaugh said:
Governor Tod call a conference with Col
onel Young, his military secretary; War
den Merton, of the penitentiary; Colonel
Burr, the quartermaster, and myself. 1t
was decided to allow Morgan to escape
Merton was to manage the escape. We
We're pledged to secrecy. Morgan and his
men understood this. They all walked
out the front door.
Il, myself, met John Morgan just out
side the prison and went with him to the
depot, where he took the train for Cincin-
natl. This was about 10 o'clock at night.
That is the true story of the escape Of
Morgan, as l am willing to swear to it.
l suppose Governor Tod either destroyed
the order from Stanton or concealed it
among his personal effects. i am the only
person living VITO took part in the af-
fair" 1t has always been believed by
many persons that Morgan bought his
way out and Warden Merton was greatly
censured by the public. but an investiga-
ton under official authority cleared his
skirts. Radebaugh's reason for making
the affair public is that he will soon pass
away and his belief that blame will not
now be attached to the men who set Nor
gan free.
