A NEW TRIAL
VIM. Marshall of Riverside is 0iven Another
ChaEce

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-Will-
lam Marshall, convicted of murder and
sentenced to death, will get a new trial.
The supreme court decided today that
the lower court erred in charging the
jury and the error1Nass on such a char
acter as to prejudice his defense.
Marshall was charged with the muir
der of Frank Hamilton at Bowers, Riv-
erside county, on April s. 1895. Hamil-
ton was a negro and became engaged in
a quarrel with Marshall in Chinese
restaurant Hamilton drew revolver
and wkarned Marshall away. The lat
ter remarked that If he had gun he
would blow Hamilton's black eyes out.
They separated, but met again fifteen
minutes later, when Marshall stepped
up to Hamilton and remarked, Now
have got gun" and fired. A by-stand-
er named Larson was shot. Hamilton
drew his revolver and emptied his
weapon at the other Hamilton was
killed and Marshall was wounded. The
evidence shot that Hamilton was shot
before he drew his revolver.
The attorney general admits that the
instruction of the superior judge was
erroneous but declares it was not in
furious to the defendant because there
was no evidence of self-defense.
The supreme court says the testimony
of the defendant did tend to show justi
fication,s and though 1t was uncOrrob-
Grated, he had a right to have his evil
dence, and IL it were sufficient to raise
a. reasonable doubt in the minds of the
Jurors as TO whether the killing was
justifiabie. he was entitled to an ac-
quittaL.

BALDWIN MADE PROMISES
Which Brought Sorrow TO Innocent
Little Lillian Ashley
The Tale tho Pretty Plaintiff Tells In the
Hope Of Securing Some Substantial
uoney Damages

SAN FRANCISCO. April 15.-"I send
you q thousand KISSES" wrote Lucky
Baldwin to his lady friend in the East.
ana then he went on to describe how
very much he longed for her to come
to California to return them. The let
ter was sent to Miss Lillian Ashley,
who was then at school near Boston. 1t
was in 1891, and she was then %. Now
she is 27 and the plaintiff in q suit for
seduction in which she demands $4,000
damages for herself and the support of
her child. Baldwin is the defendant in
the suit. Baldwin had seen the young
woman at her home in the East, and
had. she said, made promises to her
which opened out golden future. She
was to go to school, to the best colleges
the surrounding country could offer,
and all at his expense. She was to wear
fine clothes and have money in her
rocket, and when she had grown a
little bit more she was to come west
and be his daughter.
Two years after he saw her on her
way coastward. There was money in
her pocket and hope in her heart and
she was going to see Lucky" who had
sent her so many kisses, and who want
ed them all returned with interest. Her
way was punctuated with kilograms.
"Be sure you look for me-" said one
II will be waiting for you" breathed
another.
you must come right to the Baldwin
Hotel whispered a third. and so. with
the bits of yellow paper in her pocket.
she came westward, carrying the thous-
and kisses.
Lucky" Baldwin could not meet her
as he promised. An unsympathetic
telegram told her that when she was
near Tucson, but it added the cheerful
news that she was to go to the Baldv in
Hotel anyway, and he would see her
there.
She did go to the Baldwin hotel and
to San Diego and to Coronado and TO
the Santa Anita ranch, and she had
horses and carriages at her disposal
whenever she pleased, and her brother
was given employment when she sent
for him to come out, and everything
went along too smoothly to last. Then
she told her brother what had happen
cd Both were opposed to making bad
matter worse, so nothing was said until
the case got too far for concealment.
Then she wrote and asked for assist
ance, and then she pleaded, and now
she is bringing suit. The child was
born in Los Angeles on December {, 1898.
This is Miss Ashley's story of the
case as set forth in her deposition,
which has just arrived from where she
is staying in Southern California.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-The SEN
ate spent the entire day on the Dupont
case, Mr.. Gray Of Delaware arguing
against the claim of Mr.. Dupont. Dur
ing the day Mr.. German proposed an
agreement that a final vote on the Du-
pont case be taken next Wednesday.
Mr.. Mitchell, in charge Of the case.
declined to make an agreement at this
time. This tender by Mr.. German was
regarded as significant of the conf
dence Of the opposition to Mr.. Dupont
to resist his claims to a seat.
Mr.. Gray will proceed with his speech
tomorrow, after which there Is promise
Of a further clash over taking up the
bond resolution, as Mr.. Allison stated
today that the bond question must give
way to appropriation bills.
Mr.. Gray yielded at o'clock, and the
senate went into executive session.
At 4:55 the senate resumed it's open
session. Bills were passed amending
the law relating to the protection of
salmon fisheries in Alaska, for the sale
of public lands by private sale in the
state of Missouri and to pay the heirs
of Sterling d. Austin $59, ,2S7, appropriat-

the work of the homes, which, since
their establishment, had cared for To-
900 soldiers and had expended $40, 900, 900
without the loss of a farthing. The
Kelley League, he said. was formed in
cure and there had been only thirteen
lapses. He denied that anyone was
forced to take the cure. He had read

he was responsible for the organization

With rgard to the charges that post
buildings were insured in companies in
which Gen. Franklin was interested,
Mr.. Steel said that post buildings were
insured to the amount Of $4,000. There
were 70 policies; of them five were in
companies in which Gen. Franklin had
an insignificant interest.
do you, as a member Of the board,
inquired Mr.. Walker (Rep., Mass.) I'M
tend to keep as governor Of the Leaven-
worth home man who was drunk all
during the war and is now in the habit
of getting drunk"
Mr.. Steel replied that as q member of
the board he would vote to oust Smith
if proof were adduced that he had been
drunk
At this point Mr.. Poole, Republican of
New York, who was one of Col. Smiths
comrades during the war frequently, he
said, sleeping under the same blanket
and drinking from the same canteen
with him, gave his personal estimate of
him as a soldier and man. He denied
most emphatically that Col. Smith was
ever drunk during the war, and paid a
high tribute to his bravery as soldier
and ability as man.
Mr.. Malone, Republican of Pennsyl-
vania, moved to amend the resolution
so as to provide for a joint committee
Of the house and senate to investigate
the charges against Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Henry, Republican of Connecti-
cut, said a few words in eulogy of Gen.
Franklin.
With the understanding that vote
should be had at o'clock the house, at
o'clock, adjourned.
The president today transmitted to
congress, without comment, the CORE
spondence called for by the senate at
the instance of Senator Hoar relative to
an attempt at mediation made by the
United States government during the
preceding rebellion in Cuba. The
greater part Of 1t has already been made
public.
The senate confirmed the nominal
ton Of Charles E. McChesney of Hart
ington, Neb.. to be agent for the Indians
of the Rosebud agency in South Da-
kota, and ratified the Bering sea arbi-
tration treaty.

1t is but simple justice to say, in
this connection, that the great body OF
employers, a vast majority Of tho men
who have embarked their capital in in
dustrial enterprises and are relying for
success upon their skill and energy in
the prosecution Of their business, do
not want the present standard altered.
Every Individual who owed a debt at
home or abroad would be called upon to
pay it; all depositors in banks and 9TH
er institutions would want to withdraw
their money at the same time; no loans
could be negotiated, and no credit would
be given. because no man would lend

as such a measure had received the ap-
proval of the people at an election they
would demand their money, and IL not
paid they would enforce it's collection
by judicial proceedings and the forced
sale of property. 1t is useless for you
or me or anybody else to say that de-
positors in banks and other creditors
ought not to pursue this course when
crisis comes or is apprehended, for
they always have pursued it and al
ways will, unless human nature itself
should be changed.

The first game of the season between the
Yanigans and the Spartans attracted big
crowd at the Trotting park yesterday after
noon. Many of the spectators were disap-
pointed as only four innings were played. the
score being 8 to in favor of the Yanigans.
This was caused by several hits being made
by some of the players, who knocked the
ball over the fence, which was picked up by
some miscreaut and never returned, which
broke up the game Glover and Owens did
very effective work for the Yanigans, in the
four innings, as the opponents were not
credited with any hits. Shugars and Cooney
also played good game for the Spartans.
The st. Nicholas Blues and the Mahanoy
City High school team are engaging in a
game of ball on the latters grounds this
afternoon. Several town players were en-
gagged by the former team to-day.
The Yanigans will play game with the
Mahanoy City High school team at their
annual picnic at Lakeside next Thursday
afternoon.
The second of the series of three games
for the championship in the region between
the Lincoln club, of town, and the Silver
Leaf club, of Mt. Carmel, will be played on
the latters grounds this afternoon. The first
game was won by the Silver Leaf team last
Sunday.
