HOW ORE WAS SAMPLED
More Testimony Taken in the
Hale and Norcross
Case.
Evidence as to the Percentages to Be
Expected on the Various
Assays.

The Hale & Norcross case passed another
four hours yesterday before Judge Heb
bard. The testimony related principally
to the method of taking the car samples
and the value of the assays from them.
James H. Kincaid OF the Occidental
mine was on the stand during most of the
morning session. He told of the way in
which the men took handful of the con-
tents of each car and threw it into the
sample box, and how eight or ten pounds
from the box were sent to the assayer. He
said under cross-examination by Mr.. Bag
gett that 65 per cent return on the car
sample assay was good figure on ordinary
ores, but If the ore was free from clay the
sample properly taken and the ore prop
erly milled it might return from 70 to so
per cent.
The court then asked what the witness
would think of return of % cents ton
on ore which showed, by the car-sample
assays to be worth $14 a ton. The witness
thought that such return would show
that there was a great error somewhere,
either in taking the samples or in smelling
! the ore.
Suppose again." the court asked, ''you
had ore assayed by car samples at $28 and
after all expenses were paid you received
81 50?"
The witness thought it would indicate
bad work somewhere. He would quit
sending any more ore to the mill if no Bet
ter returns were made and he was satisfied
with his car-sample assay. But, he added, he
would not mill any body's ore on the car
sample assay, for he did not consider it
accurate enough. If he received 50 per
cent of the car-sample assay and rs per
cent of the battery assay, both being
properly taken, he would feel it was cor
rect.
In the afternoon George R. Morgan of
the Nevada branch of the Bank of Califor-
MIA was called to explain certain transac-
tions between his bank and the Bullion
Exchange of Carson, and G. S. Histe was
called to explain the workings of the bat
terry and to show how it is that the returns
on the ore fall short of The battery assays.

TOM O'BRIEN'S RETURN.

When Judge Campbell closed down his

still hunt for more acceptable quarters be
bade his clerk, Tom O'Brien, orator and
wit, to HE himself away to the wildwoods
and commune with nature.
MIR. O'Brien was only too glad to get far
away from the 'madding crowd" and
while recruiting himself in the country
some wag started the rumor about the
City Hall that Judge Campbell's clerk had
suddenly disappeared. in time the report
got into the newspapers and when Mr..
O'Brien walked into the courtroom yester-
day and handed his carpet-bag to the
the hand of the genial clerk and an ad-
journment was at once taken for refresh

DESERTED BY HER LOVER.
The Reason Mrs. Mabel Wilson
Gave for Poisoning
Herself.
Told Her Story in Letters to the Man,
Her Mother and Sister and
the Coroner.

Because her lover had deserted her for
another woman was the reason given by
Mrs. Mabel Wilson, a young widow, in
letters addressed to the Coroner, her
mother and sister and Albert E. Bartlett,
for her suicide in the Acme House, 957
Market street, early yesterday morning.
She had lived there for four months past
and was apparently of irreproachable
conduct. Her only male visitor had been
Bartlett, whose home is the Belmont
House, 1126 Market street. He was
formerly on the revenue cutter Rush, but
lately has been employed as waiter in
the Peoples Palace. The name of the
woman for whom she accused him of leav-
ing her is Josie Kruger, frequenter of
the Thala resort.
Mrs. Wilson had been very Respondent
lately, and on Wednesday evening she
purchased some strychniNe from a drug
store across the street. One of her lady
acouaintances remained up with her for
the night. About 3 A. NJ. this lady, who
occupied an adjoining room, heard some
groaning. The door of Mrs. Wilson's
room was opened and she was discovered
in a dying condition, having taken the
.istered by clerk of the Owl drugstore,
and the woman was taken to the Recelv-
ing Hospital, where she died soon after
arrival.
In Mrs. Wilson's room were found four
letters One was addressed to Bartlett, at
1126 Market street, room II, as follows:
My Darling Al: When you get this letter
will be cold in death, and you may realize
what you have done by leaving me and going
with that other woman. You will get tired of
her and wish for me when it is too late, but,
my darling, be as happy as you can, and
know that died loving you. Your own
MABEL.
A letter to the Coroner read:
To the Coroner: have committed suicide on
account OF Albert E. Bartlett of the United
States steamer Rush, formerly, but at the pres

name of Josie Kruger, frequenter of the Tha-
liza. and living at the Belmont House, 1926
Market street, room II. cannot live without
him. My name is MRS MABEL WILSON.
The mother of Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. L. A.
Ellis, lives at Irvington Mission, Santa
Clara County. The following letter was
addressed TO her:
Dear Mamma: Forgive me for doing the deed
that am doing, but AL Bartlett has left me
and he is all the world to me, and cannot live
without him. A charity woman separated US
and he will not come back to me. Mamma,
dear, please keep my things. Your unhappy
daughter, MABEL.
p S.-Put APs letter in my coffin with me.
The fourth letter was to her sister, Mrs.
e. 7. Gage, of SO Dorland street. 1t wcs:
Dear Sister: Good-by. I am killing myself,
for AL has left me and l cannot live without
him. Never let the children know that their
aunt done such deed. Good-by, dear sister.

A LUCKY SNEEZE,
It Came Just In Time to Make III. x. 4
Spanish Minister.

1t Came Just In Time to Make III. x. .
Spanish Minister.
The writer of "Secrets In Spain"
how ministers were sometimes made
under the. regime Of Queen Isabella Of
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance is that of a man who was made
minister for sneezing.
The story is as follows: M. X. had
gone Il day to pay a casual visit to
Of his friends. To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied.
Excuse me- said he, "but I am very
busy today. But if you have nothing to
do come along with me-" "Where are
you going?:" II have been summoned
to the palace" They set off together.
At the palace one was conducted to the
presence Of the queen, while the other
waited in the anteroom. There was a
lengthy sitting in the queens cabinet,
a new ministry being in curse of for
nation.
1t was very cold and drafty in the an
teroom, and the man who was waiting
began to grow very impatient, as he felt
a cold in the head coming on. "Whom
shall we appoint to the exchequer:
Whom to the Fomerto? Whom to the
war Department." asked the queen.
Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built up bit by bit. There
was now only the ,. colonial minister
to be appointed. 81 must have q colo.
NAL minister, said the queen. "Whom
shall we appoint colonial minister" Nc
n could be thought Of. All, at once .
loud sneeze was heard in the anteroom.
"Who is that sneezing in the anteroom?'
asked the queen. IN. K" IN. K.
The very man-the very man for the
colonial minister! Tell M. K. to conn
in."' ;" ~ ;;,4 n+.>af
That is how N. K. became colonia
minister-for having sneesed.

Keep Their Secrets We'll.

Keep Their Secrets Well.
The French keep the secrets Of their
ammunition wonderfully, Their powder
gives excellent results, but it's compost
ton is still unknown, and their dyna-
mite shells for the navy and field artil-
lery have not yet been initiated by any
other country. The best French naval
experts believe that only quick firing
guns. using high explosive shells will
be Of any use in the next naval engage
ment. They contend that these shells
will abolish armor, as armor tends to
increase the effect Of bursting shell. The
first thing Jul new government will
have to do will be to provide our navy
with quick firing guns and shells that
shall be efectual. It is not denied that
in both these particulars the French at
the present moment are far ahead Of us.

LAMBERTON VS.. LAMBERTON
Sudden Collapse of the Expected Sensation.
Decree Granted

The case of Gladys l.. Lamberton
against William w. Lamberton which
was on trial before Judge Van Dyke yes
terday, came to very sudden and unex-
pected termination in the afternoon.
When the trial began it was found that
all the sensational allegations contained
in the complaint and also in the answer
thereto had been eliminated and Il decree
was asked only on the ground OF drunk
enness and cruelty. Counsel for plaintiff
introduced few witnesses, including
the plaintiff, to prove these allegations,
and all testified to the drunken habits of
the defendant that he was and had been
for two or three years incompetent to
attend to any business. and that he fire.
oucntly abused plaintiff. The attorney
for plaintiff then rested his case.
After short consultation between
counsel stipulation in writing was
presented and the defense rested. A de-
cree of divorce was ordered as prayed for.
The stipulation gave the custody Of the
younger child to the mother and it pro-
vided that the elder, a boy of five
should be placed in some Protestant
school in Los Angeles county to be edu-
Gated. the school to be selected by the
court and The father to defray the ex
penses. Some member of the faculty of
the school selected is to have charge of
and be responsible for the care of the
child until further orders of the court.
The crowd which filled the court room
was visibly disappointed, for both the COM
plant and answer were known to contain
some very sensational charges.

THREE INTERESTING TALKS
Will Be Given by Rev. DR.. Jacob
VOorsanger of San Francisco
In Unity Church Next Week. for the Benefit
of the Los Angeles Associated
Charities

Monday evening, May 9th, the Rev
Jacob Voorsanger of San Francisco will
deliver the first of series of three lee
lures at the Church of the Unity for the
benefit of the Associated Charities. The
fact that sol worthy an object is to be
helped by the receipts will undoubtedly
attract large audiences to each Of the lee
lures, but further knowledge concerning
the speaker may not be amiss.
DR.. Noorsanger is Il man OF wide culture,
deep thought and one who has the cour-
age of his convictions. He is savant
who is also blessed with that somewhat
unusual faculty, common sense; and while
his point of view is that Of thoroughly
learned man. it also has the advantage of
"a side light OF keen natural perception.
In such hands the subjects |of his lee
lures promise to be both instructive and
interesting. For the evening of Monday,
May 9th, the subject is, Cranks. Dream
ers and Other Crazy Persons. On Wednes-
day. May sth, will be heard what DR..
Noorsanger has to say, upon The New
Woman; Why She Is. What She Is and
Where She Is. Saturday May 18th he
will speak upon Religious Superstition
and Supersttious Religion. In case any
thing further is needed to convince the
Los Angeles people that these lectures
should be cordially and largely supported
and attended, the following sentence
taken from a circular which the Asso-
ciatcd Charities has issued to its friends
and patrons, is reprinted and is self-ex-
planatory:
Our finances are in such condition
that we deem it of the utmost Importance
to take such steps as may contribute to-
wards replenishing them and these lee
lures afford the opportunity of enabling
our people to combine the pleasure they
will afford with the desired effect of as
ssting our treasury. In order to accom-
plish the best result we deem it necessary
that an active canvass for subscriptions
upon the part of our friends should be
made and you are therefore most re-
spectfully and earnestly invited to CO.
obliged if you will call at your earliest
convenience after you receive this letter
at our office room Ill, county court house.
and receive a nmber of tickets to dispose
