gree"

they talked about the case for SEEM

Then word was sent into court that
they had agreed. This was at s:15
1t took half an hour to get the court
in readiness to receive the verdict.
Holmes spoke to his consel, Rotan
and Shoemaker, in cell-room, to them
said:

was an unjust trial" He would say
no more than that. Immediately after
the verdict, the usual application for
leave to file motion for new trial
was made. Judge Arnold set the 18th

principal reason urged will be the lack
Of time for preparation for the defense.
Should new trial be refused, an ap-

sirous that the date be set for such time
is will enable him to make the trip in
the meantime. The motion for a new
trial will be made when Durrant goes
before Judge Murphy for sentence, on
Friday.
Judge Murphy may decide to hear
the argument at once, or he may de-

cation, as he intends to take a rest be.
fore trying the Williams case. There
is probability therefore, that the
final of the Lamont case, so far as the
superior court is concerned will not
be reached for some weeks, but it is
generally believed that Judge Murphy
will be disposed to get rid of the La
mont case for good and all as soon as
possible, for it is a foregone conclusion
that the motion will be denied. Judge
Murphy was exceedingly careful in
rulings, and often gave the lawyers
the benefit of the doubt, rather than
leave loophole for such motion
General Dickinson said the defense
is ready to proceed to trial in the
Williams case at any time, and in
timated that he had much stronger
defense than was developed in the
trial just ended. He said he was not
sure that change of venue would be
asked, but from his recent experience
relative to the state of public opinion
it is practically certain that such pro-
cedure will be adopted. That a
change of venue will be granted if |
asked is very probable, as it would be
next to impossible to secure another
jury here, and the district attorney has
announced that he will offer no opposi-
tion to such motion, so there is little
likelihood that the Williams case will
be tried in San Francisco. General
Dickinson, in speaking of the Will
liams case, said:
~ will fight this thing to the end,
you may believe me-" indicating that
he would carry Durrant's case or cases
TO the highest court in the land before
yielding up the life of his client. "Do
you suppose we can get witnesses to
testify for the Defense" hesaid, "when
they know that as soon as their iden-
titys is known something will be

SOME UNUSUAL AFFLIoT1oNs.
A Mans Migratory Heart Causes Him
Much Trouble.

| A Mans Migratory Heart Causes Hin
Much Trouble.
OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 5.-Frederick
Moran, man with a migratory heart
and a little girl who swallowed chew
ing gum and died from appendicitis
are two unusual cases that have claimed
the attention of the medical profession
of this city for some time past. The
former case is very rare, though not
unknown to medical science, while a
case similar to the latter has not been
reported in the andard medical works
of the day.
Frederick Moran, Is an inmate OF
the county infirmary, and since he has
been there his heart has been shifting
from one side to the other, and has
finally wound up on the right side of
his body, where it seems to have To-
Gated claim with intent to remain.
Moran lived in Chicago until this pc
culiar movement of the heart began.
J It was a restless, shifting organ, NOV
ing from side to side in a manner most
perplexing and confusing to physi-
clans. Mr.. Moran found himself hav.
ing considerable trouble, but he did
not imagine his heart was wandering
around in this fashion. 2'fr
When he came to this coast he SET
tied in Alameda His heart began
wandering from side to side and this
so disturbed his internal arrangements
that he became quite. sick. He was
sent to the inhrmary for treatment,
and when he got there Resident Ply
sician Clark made a thorough exam
ination of his physical condition. DR..
Clark noted that his heart seemed to
be a little out of plumb, and he.
watched the case closely.
While Moran remained in the county
inflrmary his heart kept on its travels
and finally located itself permanently
upon the right side. Moran became
accustomed to the new order OF things,
and is to be discharged from the hos
pital, and will go back to work. 1t is
unusual that the heart should shift
from side to side without causing
death. DIR. Clark says he never heard
of but three similar cases, and that the
shifting in Moran's case has been
complete.
The death of Orc Lee Carleton,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Charles F.
Carleton, OF West Berkeley, is also a
strange medical case. The little girl
wss but five years old, but she had the
chewipg.gum habit. Her parents
were careful not to allow her gum if
they could help it, but the little one
got a supply without their knowledge.
Some days ago she was taken sick and
it was difficult to tell exactly what was
the matter. The sickness developed
all OF the indications of appendicitis
and the little one said she had been
chewing some gum few bays before
and had accidently swallowed 1t. An
operation was performed and the gum
removed, but the little one did not SUR
yive the shock, and died this morning,
