10,500 Mr.. Reed received twice as MANY
votes as his opponent In Portland bis
plurality was 1894, by far the largest plu.
rality ever received by any candidate
this city. The Republicans were solid for
him to a man and he evidently received
many votes from the sound money Dem
oorats. His gain in many of the small
towns both In Cumberland and York
counties was phenomenal.

Force of Air Waves.

Professor Boys of London recently de-
livered an illustrated lecture in which
he showed photographs of the Lee Met
ford bullet as it passed through a quar-
ter inch sheet of glass. just before the
bullet touched the sheet the air wave
cut disk of glass about half an inch
in diameter clean out. At the same
time the glass around the hole was
crushed into powder and driven back at
an extremely rapid rate. Tho glass
stuck to the bullet for a short time after
it had passed through, the disk being
driven out in front of the 'tbow wave. 4"
In this experiment the waves caused by
the vibrations of the glass were plainly
shown. A photograph of the bullet after
it had cleared the glass by 9 inches
showed the remainder of the glass in
tact, but when the bullet had proceeded
another 16 inches the sheet of glass was
seen to break and fall in fragments.

DIR. SANBORN AGAIN.
Remanded Back to Highlands on Habeas
Corpus.

DR.. F. c. Sanborn, who made his tech
nical escape from Highlands few days
ago and was remanded back to the asy-
lum by Judge Shaw, again made his ap-
pearance yesterday in court.
Messrs. Ladd &, Hughes represented
DR.. Sanborn, and another attempt was
made in department four to have him
released from confinement on habeas
corpus. DR.. Campbell medical director
of the asylum, and other witnesses were
present in court.
Upon the case being called Chief De-
putty District Attorney Holton moved
that inasmuch as the case was practical
ly an appeal from the decision of Judge
Shaw, 1t be transferred to his depart
ment. Messrs. Ladd & Hughes argued
strongly against this being done. Judge
Van Dyke pointed out to the attorneys
that there wa sonly one superior court
in the county, and that all the judges
were coordinate; that the decision of
one was the decision of all. and 5 a mat
ter of propriety, the case ought to be
transferred to department five. Counsel
for DR.. Sanborn protested, and then the
court said that in any case he questioned
whether the court had jurisdiction of the
case Reference made to the law books
seemed to show that clause of the con-
stitution applicable to the case at bar
would remove it from the jurisdiction of
the court. Mr.. Ladd protested that the
supreme court had in several decisions
covered the point, and so the case was
adjourned for half an hour to give the
enterprising attorney opportunity to
gather authorities in his attempt to
knock out the constitution.
Upon reconvening and after some ar
gument by counsel, Judge Van Dyke
held that the court had no jurisdiction
of the case.
When DIR. Sanborn was committed to
Highlands he was a confirmed morphine
fiend. While he has fully recovered from
the effects of the habit, it is the opinion
of DR.. Campbell that he has not regained
that mental equiqoise that will enable
him to refrain from like indulgence IN
the event of his release. His case has
received. perhaps, more than ordinary
attentions at the hands of the medica
director as that gentleman knew DR.
Sanborn before his commitment and also
his father who is prominent medica
man in Vermont.

Chew Wing Cow, alias Big Jim, is to
have new trial-perhaps.
Yesterday morning Judge Smith gave
his decision upon the motion for a new
trial, that had been argued on the night
previous, and in the course of his re-
marks scathingly referred to the DELHI
crate and outrageous perjury that had
been committed in the case. In touch
ing upon the testimony of Miss Cordelia
Tillman upon the trial, which she re-
tracted in her first affidavit. and later
again made affidavit that the previous
one had been obtained through the coer-
cion of LIE Compte Davis of counsel for
the defense. the court spoke strongly.
After careful examination of the affi-
davits and with the personal knowledge
he had of Mr.. Davis he completely be-
lieved Mr. Davis affidavit in which spe-
cific denial was made that any coercive
measures had been adopted.
"If I had been upon the jury" said
the court. Il would have acquitted the
defendant, for the case is full of per-
jury. l have no confidence in the testi-
mony and that such state Of things
should exist is dangerOuS-lCS mon
strous. If a mans life is going to be
taken away, it is necessary to know just
what one is doing. If men are to be con-
vcted on such testimony as we have
heard here today, it is a travesty upon
civilization, and being satisfied that the
case is full of perjury, l cannot pro-
nounce sentence upon it."
In the course of his remarks the court
referred to the testimony of several of
the important witnesses. Hammond
Bell he did not believe, was nearer to
the place of shooting than two blocks
when Wong Chez came to grief. That
was what Bell told one witness, who did
appear reputable and trustworthy. But
Nat. Lewis and the Chinese testimony
the court repudiated, and the Haizlips,
/ for the defense, were also scored.
In the face of these facts the court
sustained the motion for new trial, on
| the ground that the evidence was in
! sufficient to sustain the verdict.
! Now, the question arises,if Hammond
Bell, Miss Cordelia Tillman. Mr. and
Mrs. Haizlip, Nat Lewis and the Chinese
witnesses are tainted with perjury, what
is there left of the case? Not one of
these witnesses could go upon the wit
ness stand, in the event of a new trial,
without being impeached.
And still the point is in dispute as to
who killed Wong Chez.

When the robberies of the mail boxes

DIR. sHORB,s TRIAL.
Medical Testimony Only of Technical
Nature.

The trial of DR.. A. s. Shorb. charged
with the murder of Mrs. Jennie Snyder
at East Los Angeles, is quite CHASTITY
enough in its details to please the alb
normal minded individual, but presents
little that can be of general interest.
Yesterday all the evidence put for
ward was of a severely technical char
acter. DR.. J. X. Carson, DIR. Salisbury,
DR.. G. w. Lasher, Dr. A. G. Forget. and
DR.. j. P. Stewart all testified regarding
the injuries inflicted upon Mrs. Snyder
and stated that the extraction of certain
portions of the lower intestines was the
actual cause of death.
Each witness was subjected to an ex-
haustive cross-eXaminati0n by Senator
White. the general trend of the ques-
tions being to show Lat the removal
of the intestines would have been rem
dered necessary by the criminal opera
tion that might possibly have been pre-
viously performed.

en- this morning. when the further hear
ing of the case is continued.
