Conclusive Evidence Against Bribsr

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 29.-When the case OF
Dick Mcdonald. charged with perjury, was
called this morning Judge Murphy began an
investigation OF tho reported attempt OF Will
liam J. Hurley to bride Juror johnson. The
evidence against Hurley was direct and SEEM
thgly conclusive. The case, however, was con
tinued for one day. There was no evidence
connecting Mcdonald or his attorneys with
the attempted bribery. Hurley has apparently
been securing crooked jurors through the con
nivance of sheriff deputies and relying on his
ability to sell the tutors to the defense when
needed
Chauncey A. johnson was not the only one
approached by William J. Hurley, the Jury
briber. in his efforts to fl the Mcdonald Jury.
Today Juror Mccarthy told Judge Murphy that
Hurley had approached friend of his Harry
Hart, and asked him to find out how
Mccarthy stood on the case. Hart said
Hurley approached him in the court room the
day Mccarthy was selected Juror and
offered him a position ii he would find out
how Mccarthy stood. Mcdonald says that he
knew nothing OF the attempt to bride the Jury,
and says that now he win ask for n new jury

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 29.-southern blood OF
the students at the university of medicine in
this city has been stirred by fellow student
named Roehier Miller OF Honey Grove, Pa.
Nearly all of the students except Miller are
southern boys and the head OF the college is
Dr. Hunter Mcclure, formerly chief surveyor
on Stonewall Jackson's staff, and an intensely
southern man.
Miller in letters to Honey Grove graphically
referred to Jefferson Davis as a traitor and ex-
pressed disgust that the confederate flag was
allowed to fiat over his grave in Hollywood.
A mass meeting of pupils was called and
fiery speeches made. bitterly denouncing Mil
Ter. The sentiment appeared to be in favor OF
telling the Pennsylvania to leave, but Pro
lessor Hodges counseled conservative action.
Finally Miller asked his fellow pupils to
overlook his error of Judgment. Students
construed explanation into spology and let the
matter drop.
