A coroner's jury returned verdict
yesterday to the effect that Franklin
Gurleys death was due to natural
causes. The inquiry was held at the
county morgue by Deputy Coroner
Williams. Monday morning the re-
mains Of Gurley were disinterred at
Forest Home cemetery, as some of his
relatives did not believe that his death
was due to heart disease, and they
demanded another investigation.
Twice Dr. Noel Of the coroner's
Office examined the dead mans stom-
ach, and in order to satisfy the doubt
| ing relatives the stomach was taken
to the Northwestern Medical college,
where a chemical examination was
made. The report as returned was to
the effect that no traces of poison
could be found in the system.-Sun-

Charges.
To the Editor OF the NEW DOMINION:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May III under
stand that my troubles Of the past
two weeks have gotten into your pa
per from Pittsburg clipping. Ny
trouble was caused by the brother Of
my late husband, who was angry at
my husband for marrying the second
time. My late husband, +. ID. Cur
ley, owned a considerable tract of land
in Texas, some 2, 800 acres, which he
decided to me, and he was carrying
81, 900 life insurance for me. He died
so suddenly there was post mortem
examination that proved heart failure
carried him off. After he had been
buried eight days his brother, without
saying anything of his dissatisfaction
to me, went TO the court and got an
order to have his body exhumed and
thoroughly examined by six eminent
physicians, and the stomach brought
from the cemetery TO the Northwest
ern Medical College for chemical anal
ysis, which proved just what this clip
ping l enclose says.
Nick MADEIRA was at my home last
evening and said there was an article
in your paper which had been copied
from Chicago paper. There have
been quite a number of sensational
reports in the papers here, all inspired
by Nathan Gurley. He was my hus-
bands brother, and they were in the
hide, leather and grease business, my
husband having the largest share of
money, which, when he settles with
me, will cripple his business. l hope
you will insert an article in your pa
per that will do me justice, as that Is
all | ask. You know / was born and
raised in Morgantown. Since | left
there have had my own share Of
troubles. My family are all grown,
two daughters married and comforta-
bly, settled, their husbands hold good
positions; my son is on farm in
South Dakota and doing well, though
not married.
Hoping you will correct this matter,
| am Very respectfully,
Mrs. Y. ID. GURLEY,

THE SACRAMENTO SCANDAL

Duckworth, clerk to the assembly, has
dispensed lot OF political patronage.
He says that he did this upon the re-
quest of anyone of any party. He says
that he has done this and that he will
do il again. With brazen effrontery he
admits having grossly and deliberately
stuffed the pay roll With equal polit-
ical impudence he says he did it be-
cause various assemblymen asked him
to, and thus charges guilty knowledge
on the part of the assemblymen. No
such assumption is warranted. 1t is
true that the vicious practice of loading
up the state service with political heel
ers is rife, but it does not follow that
an assenlblyman who asks an officer to
give some heeler a place wishes to ac-
tually stuff the pay roll as the assem-
bly, pay roll was stuffed. But even if
the entire assembly asked Mr. Duck
worth to assist in a robbery of the peo-
pie, he would be criminal in consent
ing to give his help to the steal.
The clerk of the assembly is very
important officer The position requires
the highest integrity and relia bic impair
tiality. California has always been
unfortunate in the conduct of the Of
fees of the clerks of its legislatures,
Bills have been changed words dropped
out and words put in that altered the
intent of laws. Bills have lost their turn
or place, and bills have been lost alto
gether. Connected with numerous 9TH
er rank scandals, these things have Sc
riously shaken the confidence of the
people in the ability and integrity of
their legislatures. 1t is time such dis
graceful procedures came to an end.
The safety of the republic demands it,
Other matters than the stuffed pay roll
throw doubt on the administration of
the assembly's clerk. He should be
promptly removed. No man who when
caught doing wrong. explains it by
saying that he was asked to do wrong
is fit man for any position of trust.

OLD BILLS IN THE ILIAD.

Mrs. Pearl Deforest is a collector of
odd and ancient books, and when pass
ing an ola book shop near the postofiice
on Wednesday afternoon she went in
side and purchased the second volume of
the Had. The dealer asked 20 cents for
It, 1t had no title page and therefore
the date of publication and the place
where the book was printed could not be
told
She took her purchase home and when
she and her husband were examining it
she suGdlenly exclaimed:
There's a piece of paper pasted in
side the back cover with some of the
leaves. I'm sure something's there
Hot water was brought and the pasted
leaves We're carefully taken apart. Be-
tween. them was found five $100 bills of

Inside of the front cover was label
reading: Hudson Library Cooiety."
There was no name on the fly leaf, nor
was there auy cleW by which the pat
ownership could be traced. Mr.. and Mrs.

HYPNOTISM AND CRIMINALS.

"Hypnotism is of no value whatever
to the police In securing confessions
from men who do not want to make
them" said DR.. II. A. Parkyn. medical
superintendent of the Chicago School Of
Psychology. 1T doesn't compare with
good, sharp cross questioning for
getting at the truth, and what is more
no hypnotist can get from a subject a
confession or statement which the SUBJ
ject would not make as readily in his
normal condition.
1T is easy to see how sharp criminals
could take advantage of such an offer
as one of being hypnotized that officers
might learn the real truth. There are
persons who are called hypnotic horses
the accomplices of fakirs, who can simu-
late sleep in such a way that no one can
detect the fraud. They became inurel'
to the pain of all the ordinary tests,
sucn as having needles run through
their hands and being compelled to IN
hale ammonia and the like. As matter
a subject is hypnotized. 1t would be
too easy, therefore, for smart crimi
nails to simulate hypnotic sleep and tell
stories that would tend to clear them
OF crime rather than convict them. But
even If the sleep be genuine there is no
hope of learning from the subject any
thing he does not want to tell when he s'
awake. If he will lie in one case he will
lie in the other AS 1 said before, hyp-
notism accentuates the natural IT is Of

A CLEANER BAR

The court of discipline proposed by
duce the advantages of the military
court martial to our courts of law and
equity. In the present condition of af-
fairs the bar is Incapable of Kidding
itself of shysters and robbers. There
is no member of the California bar in
good standing himself but admits that
the bar is disgraced by dishonorable
men. This notorious fact is not only a
discredit to honorable and trustworthy
members of the legal profession but An
injury to the public. The present un.
satisfactory condition of the bar results
in a number of things disadvantageous
to the community. Among the many
may be mentioned the following:
Altering and stealing of court records,
subornation to perjury, multiplying un-
necessary litigation, wasting and rob
berry of estates, and especially of those
belonging to widows and children; the
escape of criminals by procuring the
absence of witnesses. the defeat of jus
tice by deliberately planned delay and
the constant deception of the courts.
Straw bail and the standing in of a
ring of shystere with jail officers is a
continuous scandal in our police courts.
\ system by which the bar could
hold UP its dignity and honor as is now
done by the court martial in the army
and navy would undoubtedly improve
the administration of justice and give
the bar standing which its decent and
honest members well deserve.
