TWAS A DELIBERATE LIE.
That Is What Harry Knox Says
About Callandine'S State
ment.
Denies knowledge of the Robbery Of
the Safe in the Sacramento
Railroad Office.

A few days since, during the examina-
ton before Judge Davis in Sacramento of
L. L. Callandine, FL. w. Baker and Fred
erick W. Townsend upon charge OF hav-
ing robbed the safe in the Office of the
electric streetcar line of that city, Town
send made confession, detailing the cir
cumstances of the crime.
Upon cross-examination of this defend
ant, Townsend stated that Callandlne had
told him previous to the comm ssion of the
crime that the two men had agreed to take
part in the affair, but that they had backed
out, and when asked if Callandine had
named the men, Townsend replied that he
had. When asked to state the names he
hesitated for time and said "Melville
HATCH" but when asked for the second
name he refused to answer. When in
formed by Judge Davis that he must, he
said reluctantly that it was Harry Knox.
The mention of the name of Knox, who
was a prominent figure in the great rail-
road strike, created quite a sensation in

ing man, with clear-cut features and hav
ing light-colored hair and mustache. He
is fully six feet high and scarcely over 80
years of age, apparently.
With him are several prominent mining
men OF Colorado.
He says Cripple Creek has steadied down
somewhat, but that the future seems
bright.
$50 far as the mining stocks are con-
cerned. in which there was great deal of
interest a while ago." said the Count,
'the good ones are all right, and the others
are bad. That about expresses it.
"The Portland is not being worked Just
now, and the Independence has only been
worked little. These are the two big
mines. On Bull Hill, where the ore is
lower grade, the mines are going along.
The Victor. Union, Isabel, Farmers and
others are being worked, but the ore being
low, and the big mines doing lit lie, it has
affected the camp.
"You see during the stock excitement
some of the mines got their rich ore so as
to make showing and boom the stock.
Afterward they had to market their poor
ore, and this made a considerable differ
ence in the output. Other mines had to
do development work before they could get
out more ore.
But when the big mines resume and
get out the rich ore again, it will make a
difference. The product of the low-grade
being greater too, in connection with the
use of the cyanide process, which is
steadily gaining favor, the showing will be
very good.
"The chlorination process is used there
now more than the cyanide, but the latter
can be used vastly cheaper than it could a
year ago. 1t means about so per cent of
of difference. A year ago the price was
from go to 65 cents pound, now it is 35
but in a short time l have no doubt it will
be down to %. These different things, l
think, will make the place very prosper
Gus.
1.-THE recent fire, which has occurred
since left, took four blocks right out of
the heart of the city. 1 suppose they will
be built up quickly again, as the people
are very enterprising."
Count Portales has been engaged in
mining in the United States for about
twelve years. He has been instrumental
in developing some of the biggest proper
ties at Cripple Greek, and is represented to
be very wealthy.

MARCEAU DIVORCE CASE,
An Amicable Settlement Will Be
Made at an Early
Date.
Mrs. Marceau Will Give the Colonel
100000 in Full Satisfaction of
All Claims.

This morning in Judge S!ack's court the
application of Mrs. Amanda j. Marceau
for an allowance for counsel fees pending
the disposition of the divorce suit will be
made. 1t is understood that the applica-
ton will not be opposed by the attorneys
for Mr.. Marceau, and that the divorce
case itself will be settled satisfactorily in
the near future.
The only hindrance to the settlement
recently was a disagreement as to money
matters. Colonel Marceau claimed that
his wife owed him in the neighborhood of
$50, 900 for moneys advanced by him from
time to time for the purpose of clearing
membranes from the estate of her first
husband, John D. Fiske. Mrs. Marceau
set up counter claim for moneys ad-
vanced by her toward defraying the ex-
penses of their trip to Europe a few years
ago. She paid all the expenses out of
$50, 900 life insurance for her husband s
death, and she insisted that it was no
more than right that the colonel should
repay her for the money expended on the
trip.
But everything has now been satsfac-
torily arranged, or is about to be arranged,
on the following propositions: Mrs. Mar
ceau is to pay her husband $4,000 IN full
liquidation of all claims that may have
accrued against her. On his part, he is to
withdraw the charge of infdelity, and she
will enter a complaint against him on
the ground of cruelty. He is 70 support
their 16 months old baby boy-this being
his own proposition-and to pay Mrs Mar
ceau $500 per month alimony until the
final determination of the suit.
The child is to be placed in the custody
OF some mutual friend, where both parents
may visit it, but it must not be removed
