A Negro Shot and Instantly Killed by
aWOman.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 10.-Mrs G..
Dolan, a comely white woman about "a
years old, shot and killed Henry Jack
son, a young negro porter employed at
the New York Store, at 6:3O o'clock
this evening at her home on Liberty
street. Her husband was away from
home, and Emma Oft, young friend,
was staying with her. The negro, whom
they had never seen before, tried to
climb into the window, but Mrs Dolan
beat him off with a curtain rod. He re-
turned, but by this time she had got a
revolver and frightened him off with
threat to shoot. When they thought he
had gone the women ran out and gave
the alarm, but they found him running
back toward the house with a brick,
which he threw at them. Before they
could close the door he forced his way
into the house. Mrs. Dolan again drew
the revolver and fired three times, all
the shots taking effect, killing HIM in
stantly. She was placed under arrest,
but viii probably be released

MEXICAN OFFICER MURDERED.
Shot and Killed by a Subordinate
Whom He Had Court Mart;aIed.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10.-By the steam
ship Pacheco, which arrived from the
South to-day, news was received of the
murder of Major Tomas Alvarado of
the Twelfth Infantry, stationed at To-
rim. His slayer was Captain Vicente
Gotta, descendant of a famous family
in Mexico.
Captain Gotta had been undergoing a
court-martial for an alleged insubor-
dina.tion, the charges being preferred
by Major Alvarado. The superior Of
ficer alleged that on a short campaign
against the Yaquis, Captain Gotta was
insubordinate on several occasions, re-
fusing to go over a certain route on
the way to Sierra Bacatete, failing to
detail certain men as ordered for spe-
cial duty, and using language toward
his superior both in defiance of orders
and in an insulting manner.
Gotta was furious when he learned of
these charges. He was kept closely
guarded during the progress of the
court-martial, with two soldiers at
either hand, and his own weapons
taken form him. After several days,
however, the vigilance was relaxed
and Gotta, seizing a favorable moment
snatched one of the carbines and lev
eled it at Major Alvarado. who was not
ten feet distant. The shot took effect
in the breast and neck, killing the vic
tim instantly. The guards beat Gotta
on the head with their carbines, in
juring him severely.
Great excitement was caused among
the soldiers, and ii was with great diff
ficulty that an outbreak was avoided
The Captain, who now faces execution
by shooting. is a son of the famous
Don Clodomire Gotta, a Lieutenant OF
General Marquee in many battles dur
ing the French occupation.

SHARKEY -FITZSIMMONS FIGHT.
EFFORTS TO SHOW THAT A CON.
SPlRACY EXISTED.
George Allen, the Marines Assistant
Trainer, in Part COrrObOrateS
Smiths Statement.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10-George
Allen, Thomas Sharkey's assistant
trainer, occupied the witness stand most
of to-day in behalf of Bob Fitzsimmons.
His testimony was in part corroborative
of that given by Billy Smith yesterday,
and tended to show the alleged conspir-
acy by which the Cornishman was
robbed of the decision in the recent fight.
Allen said that Sharkey never talked
to him about the fight, and he knew
nothing before the contest of any deal
by which Sharkey was to be given the
decision, and he knew of no plan to have
a friendly referee named.
The night of the fight witness was in
Sharkey's corner in the capacity of bot
tle-holder. He could see the men
clearly, and closely followed their move
ments. In the eight round Fitzsimmons
landed with his left in Sharkey's stom-
ach, and followed it up Immediately
with an upper cut on the chin. 1t was
a second or two before Sharkey fell after
receiving the last blow.
Allen was positive he did not see any
foul. He was holding towel, and
defeat, but was prevented from doing
so. He assisted in carrying Sharkey
from the ring to his dressing room, and
while doing so first heard the sailor had
been given the decision on foul.
Asked as to Sharkey's condition at
that time, Allen said: He was groan-
ing and limp, but he was sensible. He
was not knocked out, but he was limp"
Allen said that Lynch. William Abb
bott, Danny Needham, Billy Smith and
a reporter went to the dressing room.
Smith and witness began to undress
Sharkey, but Lynch objected. Sharkey
asked Allen to get some water, and mo-
toned for him to battle his groin, which
he did. He saw no swelling or diScolora-
ton. Lynch refused to permit doctor
to examine Sharkey until after he was
removed to his hotel. When the latter
reached his room Allen helped undress
him, and again bathed his groin. Even
then he saw no swelling or discoloration
Soon after Needham came in with a
doctor, and the room was cleared, only
Lynch and Needham remaining
while the physician examined Sharkey.
Allen left the hotel and did not return
until the next afternoon, when he de-
manded soma money. Lynch gave him
500. Witness thought his services
were worth $500, and later Lynch gave
him $40 more, and the following Monday
$50
Allen was cross-examined by General
Barnes, but did not add anything to his
testimony.
William Abbott, saloonkeeper, testi
fled that he assisted in carrying Shar
key to his dressing-room, and described
the incidents while in there substan-
TALLY as Allen did. Permission was
given General Barnes to take the depo
sitions of Lynch, Sharkey, Needham,
carp and others, and the case was con-
tinued until Monday.
Wyatt carp, the referee, pleaded
guilty to carrying concealed weapons to-
day, and was fined $50, which he paid.

MARSHALL J. MILLER.
He Will be Hanged at San Quentin
This Morning.

SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 1O.-The execu-
ton of Marshall j. Miller will take
place at San Quentin Prison at 10 a. m
tomorrow for the murder of julius
Pier, an old pawnbroker, in Marysville,
May 1, 1895. His partner in the crime,
Stewart A. Green, received a life SEN
tence by stipulation of the jury.
Miller has felt sanguine that the Gov
ernor would commute his sentence. but
was to-day informed by his lawyers
that the Governor had refused to do SO.
He denies that he is guilty, and will
doubtless go to the gallows asserting
his innocence. He claims that he was
given drugged liquor and taken into the
murdered mans store, and that is all he
knows about the crime for which he is
to suffer the death penalty. Miller is
about % years old, a native of Ohio, and
so far as known has no family nor rela
tiVes on this coast.

STOCKTON INSANE ASYLUM.
Directors Meet, But Transact Little
Except Routine Business.

STOCKTON, Dec. 1O.-The Board of
Directors of the State Insane Asylum
met to-day, but did little except to
transact routine business.
Attorney Loutitt appeared before the
board with reference to the settlement
of the case against the estate of Uriah
Martin, which he had won for the asy
lum, but in which a new trial had been
granted by Judge Smith. He wanted to
know whether the asylum directors
were willing to accept a compromise, or
desired to go ahead with new trial.
The directors were of the opinion that
they preferred a new trial, but as the
directors have no power to engage the
services of an attorney, the matter will
be referred to Attorney-General Fitz-
gerald.
A resolution authorizing the board to
employ collector to collect outstanding
claims due the asylum on a basis of a
l per cent. commission, after first OBJ
tanning consent of the Attorney Gen
eral, was passed.
