ROOT Is ABSENT.

Big-FOot Gordon If Gold Brick Fame
Given a Ten Years Sentence.
OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 15.-When the
case of Andrew Root, the alleged assayer
of the gold brick swindle, was called this
morning before Judge Greene the defend
ant did not appear, but his attorney as
serted he would be ready for trial at a
later date, and November IL was set for
the trial. There is prevalent opinion
that Root will never again be seen in this
city. He is out on $500 bonds, and it is
believed his friends would rather have it
forfeited than have him take chances of
term in prison. A single turn in the
gold brick scheme such as they made on
Banker Little of Dixon. would settle the
account.
Charles Gordon, alias "Big-foot Dave"
the convicted partner of Root, was up for
sentence this afternoon. His attorney
withdrew the motion tor a new trial, and
a stipulation was filed that the second
charge against HIM should not be brought t
up within three years except on motion of
the District Attorney Cord on waived the
right to an arrest of judgment, as we'll as
all other legal rights.
Jud Greene sentenced him to ten years
al San Quentin. saying he believed Gordon
guilty, and that he had added perjury to
the first offense, and that there were no
mitigating circumstances.

Early in the '70's ]. Walker, the
wealthy miner, built palatial home at
residence set the fashion for what has
since become the most aristocratic section
of the city. For year or two it was the
scene of notable banquets and social
events. 1t seemed to have been planned
for the purposes OF lavish entertaining.
Like many other men of riches, who in
their declining years built large houses,
Walker was not fated to enjoy it. Para
Iysls overlook him; financial crashes sue

passed from Oakland. Mr.. Walker died,
and his widow now resides in a hotel in
San Francisco with justenough saved from
the wreck OF fortune to stave off want.
The mansion passed into the hands of
DR.. Woolsey, who transformed it into a
hospital.
Railroad victims make grewsome work,
and weird stories of collins being carried
in and out between sunset and sunrise,
and OF strange figures being seen among
the trees, gave the locality gloomy repu-
tation.
After the railroad ceased to patronize
the hospital, DR.. Woolsey had no use for
it. and for over year it has been deserted,
only he bats and memories and the watch
mans imaginary ghosts having access to
its interior. Some months o a small
fire broke out in one corner, and then the
insurance companies refused to accept the
risk.

from which Mrs. Pascoe never recovered.
For some months past she has been sub
ject to melancho Ola, and it was for the
purpose of trying to break one of these
spells that she came to this city to visit
her sister.
Mrs. Pascoe was particularly impressed
recently with the news of the killing of
Sheriff Douglass of Grass Valley Under
circumstances similar to that of her own
husbands murder. 1t brought to her
mind more visibly than ever the cause Of
her grief, and she became more subject to
melancholia.
At the inquest this afternoon John Pas
coe, son of the deceased, said his moth
er's health had been failing ever since the
death of his father. She suffered from
nervous prostration, and frequently went
off by herself and cried for long periods.
He had frequently remarked TO his sister
that he thought his mother would lose her
mind.
This morning his mother went into her
son room and caressed him. She called
him "her darling boy" and said he was
1.-The pride of her liie.'' On a table in her
sons room was a revolver. As his mother
passed out she took it and concealed it be-
meath her apron. She tt once went to the
left ear and fired, and death was instan-
taneous.
Miss Nettie e. Mitchell, niece of the
deceased, said that Mrs. Pascoe had suf-
fered considerably and the doctor stated
that she had touch of congestion of the
brain.
Mrs. Pascoe was a native of Newcastle
England, but has lived in Grass Valley for
many years and has raised a family of
seven children, all OF whom lived at home
with their mother.
After the inquest the son accompanied
the remains to Grass Valley, where they
