Judge Miller Corrects a Pub
liSsed Account.
EXPLAINED FROM THEBENCH
He Did Not Care to Stand Responsible
for Undtgnified Expressions Put
In His Mouth by Morning Paper.
His Remarks in the johnson Trial.
What He Really Said.

Judge Miller In open court yesterday
Characterized as fsilse some utterances
attributed to him In an account printed
In morning HRper OF William Johnson's
trial Frtcay afternoon, before him on the
charge OF Carrying concealed weapons.
The Jury acquitted the defendant, TO the
surprise of tns Judge, johnson having
undoubtedly been proven guilty by the
evidence.
Last evening Judge Miller said:
Il deHre to deny pme remarks purported
to havebeen msde,by me yesterday, which
appeared In morning paper in a report
OF William Johnson's trial.
ut is only because of the inaccuracy in
quoting my language that / call attention
to 1t in a public manner.
They are the words am said to have
uttered when the verdict was brought In.
II am represented as having said to
johnson Come up here, you black viiIain,'
and telling his lawyer to shut up when he
made some objection.
GAVE A FLAT DENIAL.
II never said any such thing, - continued
the judge, eniphatically, land il is almost
unnecessary u state the remarks were
not made by me or anything said that
could possibly be construed into such
expressions"
The judge read the article aloud and
eaid lie thought it was his duty to make
the correction publicly. as he was placed
in an embarrassing position in being re-
corded as the paper stated. Reverting 10
what did happen during the trial, he
saidtlietestinony nyofferedby ythegovernuien
clearly and absolutely established the
guilt Of the man.
There was no testimony whatever for
the defense, except the prisoners, and he
could not account for his presence in Eek
tngton. There seemed to be no question
OF the mans uilt, and ! must confess the
verdict astonisied me.
sometimes tile verdicts are go at va
rance with the facts that bad impression
10 created"
Tie judge then went on to say why he
lectured the defendant after he had been
acquitted.
WHY he LECTURED HIM.

could not go around this city armed, and
1 did say II he had passed through my
hands, I should have sent him to Jail,

The judge also said: II know no mans
color in the administration of the affairs
OF this court. / think 1t would not only
be highly indecorous, but reprehensible IL
the court applying epithets to any man on
trial. white or black"
In conclusion, he remarked that the
press had always treated him fairly, and
he appreciated their support, but IN this
instance he was acting in selfdefense to
set himself right.
II don't mind,'' and he smiled benevo-
Ientiy at biie Importers, when the news

family lived. The evidence from the first
was OF the Most sensational nature.

acquitted him. Finally forbearance could
no longer stand it and he brought suit

the long trial OF almost five weeks dura-
ton the jury retired with the case. They
were out over night, and finally came in
TO say that an agreement was out OF the
question.

WAS INGERsOLL's COUSIN.
Mrs. Cooper Who Committed Suicide
in frisco Related to Ingersou

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE death
by asphyxiauOn of Mrs. Sarah B. Coop
er and her daughter Harriet yesterday
morning has produced a profound SEN
sauon in this city. No woman in San
Francisco or on the entire Pacific coast
was so prominent as Mrs. Cooper, who
had devoted her life to religious and
phllanthropic works was actively con-
nected with every reform movement.
She was a cousin Of Col Robert Inger-
soil, with whom, despite their opposite
religious views,sh maintained a warm
friendship.
There is no doubt that Miss
Cooper was responsible for the deaths
Of herself and mother. The family
physician states that Miss Cooper had
been suffering for months from mel
anchOlia with suicidal tendencies. She
said that she often longed TO turn on
the gas at night so that she and her
mother could pass away together.
1t IS known that during the past few
days, Miss Cooper attempted suicide by
asphyXiation but was deferred by her
mother During the past three nights,
Mrs. Cooper had watched her daughter
and it is supposed that Thursday night
she fell asleep from exhaustion Her
daughter then took advantage of the
opportunity and after turning on the
gas lay down beside Mrs. Cooper.

Port Townsend, Wn., Dec. 12.-The
district court is in session at Juneau.
Alaska, and Judge Delaney delivered a
sensational charge to the grand jury
in which he quoted from a published
report some severe aspersions on the
administration of justice in the terri
tory of Alaska 1t is directly charged
in this report on the authority of prom
inent citizens that it is practically i'm
possible to secure convictions in the
territory of Alaska for violation of the
LIQUOR and fisheries law. because the
liquor men and cannery men so com
bine that it is impossible to secure a
jury that will convict.
The judge charged the grand jury to
either indict the men who are thus
openly charged with defiance of the
law, or else those who are responsible
for the publication referred to for libel

which devoted columns to the alleged
discovery by Bryan $. Hughes of
stocks. bonds, and title deeds worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars in a
desk owned by Bessie Maroon, a well
known woman who died year ago, are
now trying desperately to pretend they
knew it was a hoax all the time.
Hughes, who has reputation as the
greatest practical joker in New York,
bought the desk at an administrators

ed a secret drawer, in which he found
one Of Mrs. MarcOn's gas receipts. He
concluded to have some fun by making
a collection of Cancelled or worthless
checks, old and valueless bonds of real
or bogus companies, and some imita-
ton jewelry, putting them in with the
gas receipts, and announcing his find.
The papers took it up and the public
administrator gave Hughes no peace
until he secured possession of the
bonds. They included a certificate for
sc. 600 shares of Western Union stock
1t developed this was Cancelled years
ago and then Hughes admitted the sell.
