The Supreme Court Grants kid" THOMPSON
Relief but Gives Craig the Go-by
The notable "kid'' Thompson, the con.
defnned train robber, has appealed his case
to the supreme court and pititiened for re-.
hearing before the court of last resort. The
court by which he was found gully was not
unanimous in arriving at verdict, and up.
on this fact is based the petition for re.
view of his case. In this connection
it is rather odd to note that
although this is the second time
that the noted Roscoe train robber has
applied for relief to the supreme court.
yet John Craig, the murderous butcher Of
the Hunter family. still languishes in Jail
awaiting the higher court to decide his fate.
His trial took place during the middle of
October of 1894, his case was argued be-
fore the supreme court in this city during
the October term of 1895 and, in accord
ance with the nnety-day limit rule, deci-
sion should have been handed down some-
tune last month. The period of limita-
ton having expired the supreme court can
not receive any salary until this and other
arrearages have been made up. AS a
matter of fact, however, when the court
sat in this city last term it had then been
without salary for about six months, and
the accumulated business has not yet been
disposed of.

Craig ipon his trial, are in daily hope that
the decision of the supreme court be
handed down. The law point upon which
an appeal was taken is of so much inn
portauce that lawyers, and more particu-
larly those interested in criminal practice,
are eagerly awaiting the ruling of the
higher court. Whether the lower court
erred in admitting in evidence matter
hearing upon a crime committed suose-
qllent to the one for which the defendant
was on trial for his life, for the purpose of
showing intent, is the moot point. If the
lower court should be sustained, then
henceforwardIa very wide latitude will be
accorded the prosecution in all cases of
criminal nature; but, on the other hand,
should it be held that the lower court was
in error. and the case be remanded for re-
trial, it is most likely that Craig will be ar
raigned, not for the murder of his wife, but
for butcherina Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter, at
their residence on Bnena Vista street. By
SO doing the prosecution would avoid the
difficulty encountered during the previous
trial of what became celebrated case.

Chez Gets Into Trouble

The trial Of an unusually interesting case
was begun yesterday in department four,
and in the absence of Judge Van Dyke the
court was presided over by Judge Pierce Cf
San Diego.
The suit is one brought by the heirs of
Sanford F. johnson. deceased, to recover
on policy of insurance with the New York
Insurance company. and while not in itself
presenting any features of exceptional in
terest, is none the less important on &C.
count of the enormous Insurance. carried
by the public generally.
The risk was taken out on the 18th Of
October, 1891, for $4,000, upon the pay
ment Of premium of $54s, and in April,
1894. Mr.. johnson died at Tustin, in Or
anRe county. The insurance company re-
sisted payment Of the policy on the ground
that it had been forfeited by the non-pay-
mont Of the second annual premium.
While admitting the non-payment, the
beneficiaries sued to compel payment on
the ground that the insurance company
sent no notice of the premium having
fallen due, and that under the New York
statutes governing life insurance compa-
nies it was essential that such notice
should be given before the forfeiture or
cancellation of policy.
The company, on the other hand, con-
tends that not only have attorneys for the
plaintiffs wrested the New York statutes
affecting insurance companies from their
true and proper meaning, but furthermore
that the customary notice was forwarded
to Sanford f. johnson at his last known
address on Washington street, and that if
it was not received it was through no fault
or omission on the part of the company.
The policy having been regularly forfeited
for non-pavment of premium the corpora
ton denies liability, and along the line in
dicated the legal contest is being con-

Rivera property, with q limited certificate
of title. In November, 1894, new certifi-

A young led named Gustave Daviaud
has cause to regret being just trifle too
honest. A few days ago he picked up a
hat in the corral at Julius Houser's slaugh-
ter house, and thinking that it was fairly
good looking bit of head gear. proceeded TO
wear it. John Fillat, who fills the onerous
position of French chef at the slaughter
house, eyed the hat on the youngsters
head and layed claim to it. Gustave, with
readiness and resignation. took off the hat
and yielded it up; but his amiability was
too irritating for the Gallic blood of Fillat,
for the latter proceeded to do up his friend
in several different styles. He knocked
Gustave about the shins, banged his head
and gave him several bruises about the
body. The lad submitted perforce, but
yesterday barred his scars before the dis
trict attorney and swore to complaint in

The Rights OF Privacy.

The illustrated journalism now
prevalent finds its finest achieve
ments in the publication of photo
graphs surreptitiously taken. The
value does not seem to lie in the fact
that the photographs are of nota-
bilities, but that they have been
taken by stealth when the subjects
were unconscious of the purpose of
tie person manipulating the camera.
Indeed it is q we'll known fact that
at least one of the newspapers OF
New York keeps q photographer
busy in the streets of the metropo-
lis taking snap Shots at every
person who appears to be of oonse-
uuence. These are used at oRoe or
filed away for use. when occasion
arises. Now, such practices are I'M.
questionably invasions of the right
of privacy, but wo are told by the
courts that the victims of such prac
tees may not restrain by injunction
the publication of photographs sc
taken, but that the remedy lies in
recovery for damages.
This is no remedy at all, for the
chances would be that some dema
gogue Of judge would declare thai
the hurt was but fanciful and too
inappreoiable for merely earthly
tribunal to estimate.-North Amer
