KELLY ON TRIAL
FOR HIS LIFE
Charged With the Willful
Murder of Soldier
Quinn.
Story Of the Crime Committed at
Fort Mason in July
Last.
A JURY Has BEEN SECURED
What the Prosecuting Attorney Says
He Can Prove Against the
Prisoner.

The trial of James Kelly. charged with
the murder of Joseph E. Quinn, was yes
terday begun before Judge Hunt.
Kelly and Quinn were both United
States soldiers, and on the evening of July
10 last Quinn was killed. In the after
noon he had been engaged in contro-
versv with Kelly. The trouble occurred
at Fort Mason, and is said to have origi-
mated over a woman.
The District Attorney, in his opening
address 10 the jury, claimed he will prove
that just before the murder Kelly ap-
preached Quinn, as he stood on the parade
ground, and renewed the quarrel. Sud-
denly Kelly advanced with uplifted arm
and grasped his victim, who an instant
later called "He's killed me-" and fell to
the ground in dying condition. Kelly
then ran to his quarters and was found
there in bed soon after.
When spoken to about the crime he
claimed to know nothing of it and to have
found upon his hands, however, and he
could give no explanation as to how it got
there. A razor, which has been identified
as similar to one used by Kelly, was sub
sequently found near where Quinn met his
death.
All of yesterday was consumed in OBJ
tanning a jury and by the Prosecuting
Attorneys address. The taking of testi-
mony will begin to-day.
Following are the names of tie jury.

STRAWS OF GOOD NEWS,
Republican Gains in the East
to Be Duplicated
Here.
Butter worth of Ohio and Schoonmaker
of New Jersey to Speak Next
Saturday.

The telegraphed reports from Connecti-
cut and elsewhere showing un precedented
Republican gains and unprecedented
Democratic losses in the local elections
have hung the rooms of the Silver and
Democratic committees with spiritual
Grape, and have garlanded the headouar-
quarters OF the Republican State Central
Committee with the flowers of rejoicing.
Chairman McLaugh lin, after his visit
to the sun-kissed sands of Santa Cruz,
needed only the election news to make
him perfectly happy, and Secretary Hig-
gins ceased yawning and laid aside his
worried expression as he traced the timer
ary OF an eloquent speaker through the
tortuous chapparal of Grub Gulch to the
alkali- blistered dwellers on the edge of
Death Valley.
Jake Steppacher smiled and remarked
that he had thought so all along. This
remark broke the record for Jake, he bein g
the most taciturn politician on the coast
outside of a deaf and dumb asylum.
Visitors to headquarters from the coun-
try continue to arrive bearing good tidings.
E. A. Hayes of Santa Clara reports the
watchword of that county to be "prunes
and protection" Santa Clara will give a
rousing majority for Mckinley.
Il. w VlChcISAdm vi DOnOiuh SOunty re-
ports Republicansm in that fertile land
as being in good shape to march to victory
behind the banner of protection.
There will be several very interesting
meetings during the remainder of the
week. There will be big crowd on Satur-
day night in the Pavilion to hear the
speeches of Benjamin Butterworth of Ohio
and +. K. Schoonmaker of New Jersey,
both of whom are reputed TO be eloquent
men.
On Friday night the Ladies' Annex OF
the National Republican League will meet
in the Leagues rooms in the Pioneer
Building and will be addressed by Edgar
Peixotto and Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn.
There will be singing and music also.
On the same evening the. Continental
League will meet in Saratoga Hall and
will be entertained by prominent speakers.
The Mckinley Invincibles will have a
gala night this evening at the Auditor
ium. Hon. w. B. Hybu-n of Idaho and
Mrs. Carrie Chapman-Catt of New York

him any opium, as he knew that was q
misdemeanor. The woman had, however,
confessed she gave HIM the opium, but de-
MED giving him the keys.
"The scheme was this" said Kelly.
"We had arranged to make the attempt
tomorrow, when Shaw was on the door
/ knew Hickey and Corbett knows Par
rotre, so we did not want to injure them.
A friend was to call for me. While
would be talking to him on the bench, an
other friend was to call for Corbett. Then
another friend was to call for Colvin, and
while Shaw was away opening the cell to
let Colvin out / was to open the prison
door with the false key and Corbett and
would get away. We were to leave the
door open ana Colvia as soon as Shaw
opened the cell door was to make run
for the open door and get away"
1t would have been a simple matter for
Kelly and Corbett to escape, as they
would have had nobody to interfere with
them, but Colvin had to take the chance
of the ''trusties" giving the alarm. Shaw
and the other dooTkeepers are unarmed
for prudential reasons, as a desperate
criminal might take the revolver from
them and cause trouble while visiting the
cells, so Colvin knew he had nothing to
fear from him.
The time was well planned, as the police
parade Is to take place this afternoon, and
there might have been a scarcity of oth-
GERS at the Central police station.
No weapon was found upon either OF the
three prisoners or in their cell, but it is
suspected that Josie Kelly, if the discovery
of the key had not been made, would
have tried to pass revolver to Kelly to-
day before the attempt was made.
Kelly, besides the two charges of burg
larry, has charges of assault to murder
and robbery to answer for. He robbed a
stranger named Cashin in house on
Howard street, near Third, and fired a
shot at him, wounding him In the leg a
few days before he was arrested for bur-
glary. He was first sentenced on June 1,
1885, to six months in the House of Cor
rection for petty larceny. On February 8,
1887, he got two years in San Quentin for
burglary and after that he served several
terms for petty larceny and burglary.
Colvin was sent to San Quentin for three
years on May IS, 1898, for grand larceny
and on November 5, 1895, he got three
months in the House of Correction for
having burglars tools in his possession.
Corbett, when IA years of age. was sent
to the Industrial School for three months.
On May Is, $780, he was sent to San Quen-
tin for burglary. In 1888, while serving q
term in the House of Correction ha made
his escape. On November IA, 1889, he was
sent to San Quentin for robbing stage IN
Mendocino County.

Unusual Activity in the Mines Of
Calaveras Arrival of Two
Valuable Gold Bricks.

w. III. Hooper, superintendent of the
Folsom mine, north of Angels, is at the

has been struck in the Maloney mine, ad-
joining the old mine belonging to the
James g. Fair estate, over which there
has been litigation for some time, and that
it is apparently one of the most important
discoveries made in Calaveras for some
time.

"The owners are now putting up q

works and other apparatus, preparatory
to sinking in the vein. As yet the mine
has no mill of its own. 1t is said the ore
is very rich.
"There'is great deal of activity among
the mines in that part of Calaveras. Old
mines are being opened, and there is 9
good deal of prospecting work thro ughout

there and have taken up mining as bust.
