followed, In which these and other petit
tlons were considered. In all seven appli-
cations Tor pardons and parole were dis
cussed. Two were fortunate, three denied
and the others left undecided. The fortu-
mates were George W. Grewell and Robert
Bennett, who were released at once on
parole. Greweil was sentenced to five
years for grand larceny and his time will
expire on March l, 1898. Bennett was
sentenced to ten years from this city for
felonious assault, and his time will be
ended in 1899. There is considerable
doubt as to the young mans guilt.
The application for pardon by Ramon
Herrera was considered at the evening
session and the case was continued for a
month for further evidence. However,
considerable information was obtained in
addition to that published in yesterdays
CALL. Isadore Baldivia made the follow
ing statement TO CALL reporter:

was innocent of the crime of robbing the
Chinaman, but in my first statements 1 did

ner of California and Dupont streets, and
robbed him OF $25 and a watch. Portilo
sold the watch at pswnshop. The police ar
rested Herrera and me soon after, and when
Herrera was arrested he had in his pocket
small black bulldog revolver. The officer
must have told the Chinaman what kind of
revolver Herrera had, for he identified Herrera
and the revolver. Now the fact is that Por-
tillo and I did the Job with a big nickel
plated Smith d Wesson revolver, but the officer
and the Chinaman were bound to convict
both of us.
Portillo talked so much about his having
robbed the Chinaman and the finding of the
watch where he had sold it that it forced the
police to arrest him, but that was q month after
Herrera and had our preliminary examina
tions in the Police Court. The Chinaman then
positively identified Herrera as one of the two
who stood him up, and he did not dare to go
back on his testimony for fear of being arrest
ed Tor perjury, so he stayed by his first story
that Herrera was the other one Il had already
pleaded guiltv). When we hree were in the
County Jail Portillo and I decided TO do the
square thing by the boy Herrera, and we sent a

James Beehan, Convict, Pardoned
just Before His Death.
James Beehan died yesterday in the
prison at San Quentin. but he died a free
man. Beehan was 20 years of age and he
came from good family. However, he
turned out to be sort of black sheep in
the flock, and some time ago ne was con-
victed of stealing hogs in Sonoma County
and was sentenced to serve six years i'm
prisonment in San Quentin. While in
prison consumption took strong hold
upon his system, and it was necessary to
remove him to the hospital. DIR. Lawler
saw that the man was in dying condi-
ton. and when Beehan's family appealed
to Governor Budd for pardon in order
that the fellow might die outside of the
prison walls the doctor added his approval
to the petition.
The other day the much-desired par, on
arrived, but it was conditional and stipu-
lated that in the event of Beehan's recoy-
cry he should return to San Quentin and
finish his term of imprisonment. The
sentence was made to expire on Friday,
the 18th.
Yesterday Beehan's sister went to the
prison for tue purpose of taking her
brother 10 her home in San Francisco
She arrived little before noon, but the

The fact was that there was 500 in the case

Herrera was also seen and he still main
tains that he is innocent of the crime with
which he is charged. He is hopeful that
his friends and the attorney, Z. T. Shaw,
will secure his full pard on and place him
right before the public again. He pro-
poses, if he gets pardoned, to do as he did
before-work hard and give all that he can

duce him to Frank j. Kane, secretary of
the Pacific Society for the Suppression of
Vice, his purpose being to engage actively
in tie work of preventing cruelty to ani-
mails. The Pacific society follows that
line and also the prevention of cruelty to
children.
The next occurrence was a meeting be-
tween the theatrical manager and the
secretary. Mr.. Berry's application was
gladly received, for he seemed to be very
much in earnest and it was apparent that
in his travels over California he would
have large opportunity for doing good. A
special meeting of the directors of the
society was called at once and Mr.. Berry
was elected a member and spe-
cial officer. The last-named position gave
him the right to wear badge, and he will
be duly autho rized by some Superior
Court Judge 10 make arrests under the
appointment conferred upon him.
The badge of the society has been often
pictured. 1t is of silver and is a com bina-
tion of star and inscription and other
devices. Mr.. Berry was in San Jose yes
terday, but returned last night, and when
Secretary Kane learned of this he went to
the Columbia Theater and duly invested
Mr. Berry with the insignia of office
Both the secretary and the manager were
enthusiastic over the occurrence. There
were a few felicitous remarks on both
sides, and during the evening Mr.. Berry
paraded with the lapel of his coat well
thrown back to show the badge.
The gittering bauble caught the eve of
Junius Howe, who is Mr.. Berry's partner,

by it.

1t Will Be Inquired Into by Jury
Next Wednesday.
Mrs. Susie Martin, who shot and killed
her husband in the new City Hail, is to
have an extra day of anxiety before she is
again permitted to breathe the outer air
and bask in the sunshine as free woman.
Last Thursday Mrs. Martins trial on a
charge OF murder came to close, and the
jury rendered verdict of acquittal on the
ground of insanity. Judge Wallace
thererpon applied the provisions of the
Penal Code, which provide that under
such circumstances the prisoner NAV be
examined as to his or her sanity. The
j ldge said that if Mrs. Martin is sane she
is a murderess and ought to have been
convicted; if insane she should be con-
fined in an asylum.
Under the law it is the duty of the
court to pass on the mental condition of
the prisoner. Judge Wallace arranged
that this proceeding should take place
next Tuesday morning, but owing to the
fact that he is called on to attend a meet
ing of the University Regents on that day
he has made an order postponing the ex-
animation of Mrs. Martin until Wednes-
day. the 18th, at 10 A. N.

charitable work undertaken by the Saliva

tion Army.
Some quaint stories are told of the self
denial that has been resorted to during
this annual attempt to bear the burdens
of others. Army lassies. richer in good
will than in this worlds wealth, have
been known to cut off their beautiful hair
and sell it to give the price to the charity
fund, and children have bartered their
most cherished toys for few nickeIs to
put in the army money boxes.
The charitable organizations connected
with the Salvation Army have grown so
numerous of late that special effort is 10
be made this year to raise needed funds
during self-denial week. There will be
boxes for contributions at many of the
street corners, and an active canvass will
