PROBING THE TAGUS PLOT
Strong Network of Evidence
Woven Around SilaS
Lovren.
The Prosecution C.oses It's Case in the
Trial of the Train-Robber
Suspect.

VISALIA, CAL, June 12.-The trial of
Silas Lovren is drawing to close. The
last witness for the prosecution testified
this afternoon and the case went over
until tomorrow. It is not known how
the defense will proceed in its attempt to
prove that the proprietor of the notorious
deadfall was not the arch-conspirator in
the plot to rob the Southern Pacific over
land express at Tagus on the night
of March 1S; that he did not plan the
raid which cost the life of Dan McCall-a
brave man, though a menace to society.
The prosecution has made strong case,
and it will take convincing evidence to
break the chain of guilt it has woven
around the saloonist.
Deputy Sheriff Victor Reed, who, with
Earl Daggett, was wounded in defending
the train which Mccall boarded, was the
first witness called to-day, he simply
identifying the rife carried by Mccall,
and which, the prosecution claims, was
owned by Lovren. Deputy Sheriff D. 0.
Harrelson told the story OF the officers trip
to Tulare and of finding the body Of Nc
Call. He said:
ION the Sunday before the hold-up
went out to the Tagus country about the
middle of the day. AT point north of
the Mill Creek crossing of the railroad
between Tagus and Goshen, L found q
newspaper. l was expecting to find it.
had instructions that morning to follow
Britt and Mccall, who left Visalia about
O'Clock in the afternoon. This newspaper
was found near two trees, and this spot
was not far (seventy rodsl from where
McCalPs dead body was afterward picked
up"
The witness pointed out the place where
the body of Mccall was found. using a
map of that part of the railroad track be-
tween Tagus and Goshen. He also showed
the place Were the marked paper had
been dropped by Britt the Sunday before
the attempted robbery. Britt, the be-
trayer of the outlaws plot, had deposited
the paper at the SPOT selected by Mccall
for boarding the train.
The balance of the testimony was in the
nature of identification OF McCalPs mask,
lantern and weapons and establishing the
connection of Lovren with the telltale
articles.

The EDpIOsiOn of Barrel of Ott Causes
Three Deaths.
PITTSBURG, Pa, June 12.-Early this
morning barrel of oil in the basement of
the bakery owned by Kubuegundo Ga
rische on Spring Garden avenue, near AL
leghany street, exploded. Several people
were sleeping in the building and before
they could escape the structure was in
flames. Mrs Garische, aged "a years,
leaped from window and was killed in
stantly. The firemen found Mr.. Garische
unconscious. A grandchild was found
dead in q crib and another child will
probably die. Mrs. Garische Jr. and two
other occupants of the house escaped.
No one seems to be able to explain the
cause of the explosion. Garische was a
quiet sort of a man and apparently had no
enemies who would be likely to take re-
venge on him in so fendish a manner.
The fire spread very rapidly. The firemen
were heroic in their efforts to save life.
They could have carried out Mrs. Garische
safely if she had waited just few minutes
longer. She became panic stricken, how
ever, and jumped from the window. Mr..
Garische was overcome by the smoke and
at last accounts it is not believed that he
will recover

Mr.. Arnold quoted the statement made
by the First Lord of the Treasury in the

and repent at leisure" After few short
moons of acquaintanceship she was wooed
and won by an actor named or aliased s.
i. Black AT the time of her marriage
she possessed considerable property in San
Luis Obispo, left by her first husband.
Black induced her to mortgage this prop
erty and give him the proceeds. This
m oney he has squandered.
The woman learned few days ago that
Black had another wife living in this city.
S he demanded an explanation of him, and
he informed her that it was all mistake
s he did not take kindly to his explanation
and sought ont M rs. Black No. 1. That
Iady informed her that Notwithstanding
Blacks denial she was married to him
eight wears ago IN Chicago, and she pre-
sented a little boy about seven years of
age as pro of OF their union.

followed. He yesterday proposed that
they take a trip East, leaving the first wife

Speaker Reed Wants the Presi-
Dental Nomination or Nothing.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 12-Aside
from making a call at the White House
to-day to take formal farewell of President
Cleveland upon the close of Congress, and
another at the residence of Representative
Hit of Illinois, who has been Ill for some
time, Speaker Reed remained at the Shore
ham in constant telegraphic communlca-
ton with friends and managers at st.
Louis. He had no further comments to
make respecting Mr.. Manley's celebrated
statement of Wednesday evening.
1t was learned that Manley's statement
of last night was prepared in response to
Mr.. Reeds telegram of inquiry sent yes
terdav as to the meaning and cause of his
original statement which caused such
sensation. Friends of the Speaker in st.
Louis wired him that they believed Mr..
Manley had become panic stricken at the
demonstration made by the partisaps of
Mckinley at the first meeting of the Ma
tional Committee and Mr.. Manley's re-
gret over this action satisfied them that
che did not mean it."
The assertion made by Manley and Muir
ray Crane, the latter of Massachusetts, at
st. Louis that the Speaker would notnnder
any conditions accept the nomination for
Vice-President was reiterated by his
friends in Washington, SO that there need
be no misunderstanding on that point.
The action of the National Committee in
throwing out Reed delegates, especially
those from Louisiana, was commented on
with much bitterness by his friends as un-
7 J. IDrIfU in
the convention, and indefensible IN any
view. They we're advised that the Texas
anti Mckinley men claiming to be dele
gates would probably meet the tate OF
th-ir Louisiana colleagues.
Speaker Reed will not go home until
after the convention adiourns, but he may
go 10 New York on business trip, which
mas been pressing for some days.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 12.-The fol-
lowing dispatch, which explains itself,
was sent to St. Louis this evening:
Hon. Joseph II. Nanley, Republican National
Committee, st. Louis: One hundred thousand
voters OF New York State having signed a pc
utlon to the Republican National Committee
asking for the nomination of William McKin-
ley for President committee of 500 has been
appointed to take this petition to st. Louis by
special train, and subcommittee of fifty to
present the petition to the convention.
AS chairman of the Mckinley State League
organization committee l requested you to
furnish these fifty members of the sub-com-
mittee with tickets for admission to the con-
Yent1on. The dispatch being a personal one 1
was surprised to find that you have given it in
garbled form to the press, and still more sur
prlsed that you should characterize it as an i'm
pertinence. I supposed recent events had dis
PEELED the notion at one time entertained by
the members of the Presidential trust that
they could not be approached by the average
citizen through the ordinary channels. Please
pardon this imperinence and give yourself no
trouble about the tickets. They have been
furnished. JOHN F. MILHoLLkND,
