THE COUNTERFEITING CASE
The Howell Trial Drags Its Slow Length
Along
The Defendants Stepdsughter Conducts Her
self Decorousiy and the Jury Listen
to the Testimony

| SAN Francisco, Dec. 9.-In the Howell
counterfeiting case today, w. j. Halflich, q
commercial traveller, testified that he had
received bad half dollar from Howell in
change. He was followed on the stand by
| Sheriff Cunningham, of Stockton, who ar
rested Howell. The sheriff's testimony
was about the same as that given at the
former trials. When he searched Howell's
safe. after the arrest. he found twenty-five
| dollars in bogus money.
Mrs. Green, Mrs. Howell's daughter. who
was accused of trying to tiirt with one of
the Jurors last week. was extremely de-
| corous today.
! c. D. Harson, one of the most important
witnesses for the defense, and one upon
whose testimony the accused places the
| greatest reliance, is under investigation by
| the fede al AL horities OH charges of per-
| ry and bribery. The facts have heen
! p aced in the possession OF the United
| States district attorneys office, and if the
present plan is carried out the evidence
will be submitted to the Uni ed S a esgrand
! jury a, its session tomorrow. The indict-
| men of Harson upon charge OF perjury is
| demanded by those who have Investigated
| The affair.
Harson has not testified at this trial of
| has been stipulated by both sides that the
| evidence given by him at the first trial
| shall be allowed introduction in this. as he
cannot be found. His testimony, which
| the prosecution claims is perjnred. is of
great IN 'ment to Howell. II bears upon
i one of the vital incidents of the govern
| ment's proof. 1t has already been cnarg god
| on the witness stand that M. D. Howell
agreed to pay Harson $1,000 for this evil
! dence, and that $500 was actually paid
/ for it.
One of the strongest pieces of evidence
| against Howell is the proof that he re-
| ceived box containing $50 in counter
| felt coin. each piece of which had been
marked by ecret service Agent Harris.
| the box was sent from this city to ~tock-
ton, where Howell received it from the
agents of Wells, Fargo IL Cn. Shortly after,
| Witnesses have sworn, they receive from
! Howell coins which were coun erfeit and
marked with the peculiar brand OF the
secrel service agent.
To combat this proof of guilt Howell de.
Ponds very largely, aim st exclusively,
upon C. d. Harson, who tes,ia d It the
| tirst trial that he saw Howe i've the box
O. bogus coin TO Matt JuLes, and that it
! was Jones and not Howell. who was in
VOWED in the conspiracy of counterfeitng.
Since giving that information HarsOn has
disappeared.
TIE government now has in its posses
sion The affidavit of a n an who swears
that Harson confessed 10 him that his
testimony was false, and that Howell
agreed TO pay him 5 600 for it.

4 Railroad Wreck Victim Narrowly Escapes
Premature Burial.

SANTA CRUZ. Dec. 9.--Ten days ago
Fred Markham, hackman in this city,
received letter stating that his mother
had died in Battle Creek, Mich, as the re-
suit of railroad accident, and that the
remains would be inferred before he could
reach Battle Creek. where he formerly re-
sided. A few days later he was astonisheti
at receiving another letter containing in
formation that his mother was alive and
would probably recover. The let
ter further stated that his
mothers apparent death had &C.
cured when the first letter was written.
Arrangements for her burial we're then
under way, but while the funeral services
were in progress, the minister, relatives
and congregation were terrified by sound
from the coffin, and were almost paralyzed
with surprise when, a moment later, the
coffin lid was broken and Mrs Markham
was found to be alive. 1T appears that she
had suffered from conclusion of the brain
and for two days was unconscious, the cur
rent of life only returning short time be-
fore interment.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-The sport at
Ingleside today was rnarred by bold at
tempt at robbery in the hurdle race, which
was only averted by the promptness of
the judges in declaring all bets off. Eight
horses went to the post, and of these only
five finished, Three Forks, Gold Dust and
j. o. c. unseating their riders. j. o. G.,
who has won eight consecutive races over
the jumps, is great favorte with the pub
lie, and carried thousands of dollars, being
backed from to l to even money. Three
Forks and Gold Dust were second and
third choices respectively in the betting,
and likewise received good support. On
the first jump these latter two horses fell.
Morgan G., who is owned by j. johnson,
the rider of j. o. c.. led until the last jump,
where j. O. G. went after him. and would
apparently have won had not johnson, in
the opinion of the judges, deliberately
thrown himself from the horse. thereby
allowing Morgan G. to win. Morgan G.
was backed down from ~ to z to l, and
after short investigation all bets were
promptly declared off. Further action
will be taken at meeting of the stewards
of the Pacific Coast Jockey club shortly.

A Formidable Rebellion

New YORK, Dec. GA local paper
says:
From this port. on the afternoon of Sum
day, December l, sailed I'll clustering ex-
petition whose aim is to take the govern
ment of Venezuela out of the hands OF
President Crespo and to free that country
from the financial and commercial dis.
tress which the rcvoluti onists claim have
driven them and their countrymen to des-
peration. BY this time General Domingo
Monagues, the leader of the expedition,
has probably eiiec ed landing. 1t is
claimed that his arrival is all that was
necessary to put \ formidable army in
the field against the president. The en-
petition led by General Monagues was
planned and carried out thus far success
fully by prominent Yenezuelans in this
city and Brooklyn.
Neither the Venezuelan consul nor the
minister at Washington know anything
of the plans TO overthrow their govern
ment. 1t is the greatest expedition of its
kind that ever left this port, carrying as it
does. enough arms and ammunition to
equip an army.
General Domingo Monagues is an ex-
president of Venezuela and one of Presi-
dent Crespo's Bit crest enemies. He was
one of the most popular presidents The re-
public ever had, and although he pro-
tested that he was getting 90 old for the
hardships of warfare, the promo erS of The
revolution insisted that he should lend the
forces.
