COMEDY BY AUGUSTUS THOMAS.

"The Burglar a four-act comedy by
Augustus Thomas, will be presented at
the Opera House tomorrow evening
The impression created by the title Of
the play is somewhat misleading TO
the unknowing The comedy is truly Of
that style Of dramatic composition bet
ter known as the society dra Sa, and it
is lightened with touches OF pure com
edy, which are always acceptable. The
happiness of a home is marred by the
fact that the husband and father turns
out to be a burglar escapes arrest by
compromise and goes away. He is cap
tured, and in escaping is supposed TO be
shot. and is reported dead The wife
marries again The burglar visits the
home of his wife. not knowing it is
SUCH and is discovered by his own lit
tie daughter, whereupon ensues one OF
the most original scenes ever seen on
the stage.

III the Southern District s the
Indian Territory, with malice
aforethought he did kill ani
murder one Mrs. Waites. IL.
pleads not guilty.
The defendant Is presumed 20
be innocent until his guilt IS
established to the satisfaction
of the jury; and the burden Is
on the government TO prove the
guilt of the defendant beyond a
reasonable doubt. If, there
fore, the jury entertain a reas-
enable doubt of the guilt of the
defendant. from the evidence in
the whole case, it would be your
duty to determine that doubt in
favor of the defendant, and nc.
quit him. III you entertain no
such reasonable doubt, il would
be your duty TO return verdict
of guilty.
Inasmuch rs the defendant is
charged with the crime of muir
der, it becomes my duty to eX-
plain to the jury the essential
elements of the crime.
Murder X deiined.by law to
be the unlawful killing OF n hui
man being against the peace of
the state with malice afore-
thought, either express or inn
piled.
The term express malice,
used in this connection, means
that deliberate intention of mind
unlawfully 10 take away the
life of human being. and il i
manifested by external circum-
stances capable of proof.
Implied malice, as understood
in connection with the determ-
iuation of the crime of murder,

stances of the killing manifest
an abandoned and wicked dis
position.
When a killing takes place
suddenly by the use of Il deadly
weapon, and without any appa-
rent provocation, the law i'm
plies malice. To make the kill
ing murder ii Is not necessary
that any particular animosity
toward the deceased should eX-
ist, but corrupt and wicked
motive and intention 10 do evil
which results IN the death of Il
human being is sufficient; nor
! is it necessary that the intention
I to kill should have been formed
or existed for any length of
time, if the intention to take
life was formed, or existed at
I the time of the killing, the kill
ing would be murder.
In this case the defendants

the alleged killing the defend
ant was insane, ana was lncap-
able of entertaining a malicious
intention to kill that he Ou0bt

Hoff, Accused Murderer O
Mary A, Clute, Admitted
He Was a Debaucher
of Women.
Motive for the Crime Revealed by Micros
copicaI Examination The Weapon Used
by the Brute Known to Have Been
One of the Prisoners
Effects.

The police have now no doubt but that
Albert Hoff. the old upholsterer whom
they have closely guarded in the City
Prison, was the man who murdered Mrs.
Mary a. Clute.
They have evidence in their possession
that the prisoner has little regard for
womanly honor They will produce wit
nesses who Will state that Hof had
bossted 10 them of how he had taken ad-
vantage of women in whose houses he
had team called to do some work as an
upholsterer, and of how such women had
refrained from causing his punIshme
because of the unpleasant notoriet ty il
would bring upon them. One of his vic
Tins, he claimed, was the wife of a sea-
faring man.
These admissions were made to Mayer
May who resides at 1880 Steiner street.
1t was Mr. May who gave the information
TO tie police that the oupling-p pin, which
was used by the murderer TO beat out the
life OF the unfortunate woman at 500
Guerrero street. was one of the tools used
by Hoff. The murderer, four or five
times, was engaged Oy Mr.. May to repair
furniture, ana the last time he WAS at the
house. about two wears ago, Hoff became
confidential. Alter he admitted his brutal
nature Mr.. May dismissed him from the
house and since that time had not seen
him.
Mr.. May said that on almost every occa-
sion when Hoff was engaged by him, he
had seen the coupHng-pin among his tools.
MIR. May took an interest in the man S
work, and watched him and talked with
him while he was engaged in mending the
furniture.
The first time l saw the oupling- pin
among Hof's lools," said Mr.. May, II
picked il up and asked him what IL was

ment.

about IL l asked MIN what he used IT for,
and he repiIeo that it would be useful as
