81 did. / went to Mr.. Lloyd's Office"
"How did you happen to go there?"
"Why, Governor Budd sent word to me
to go ana see Mr.. Lloyd right away"
Upon Mrs. Craven admitting that the
Governor did not give her these direc-
tions in person, but by messenger,
Wheeler succeeded in having the last an
swer stricken out as being hearsay. Mrs.
Craven Immediately Strengthened the
matter out. however, by saying that she
also received word from the Governor in
person over the telephon.
There wa. a shower of objections and an
argument over a question as to Mrs. Cra-
ven's motives for going to Attorney
Lioyd's office, and the court finally ruled
it out
Did you 90 East, Mrs. Cravenr'
II did"
"Did you go there for the purpose OF
getting the pencil will, as you had been
directed2 ?"
Here were more ot elections and another
argument. During the debate and while
Mr.. DELI was pouring hot shot into III e
enemy's camp because OF the means they
were resorting to in order to defeat Mrs.
Craven, Attorney Mitchell lost his temper
and made a mean remark directed at
Judge Curtis. Mr.. Delmas took him to
task for his disrespect and treated him to
q severe raking over the Goals.
APOLOGIES followed and Judge Curtis
re-established good feeling all around by
making . humorous speech. 1t was thus
that the days proceedings ended.

WORK ON THEVALLEYROAD
Finishing a Mile Day South of Han
fOrd-Route From Richmond
and the Big Bridge.


From what Chief Engineer Storey says
work on the Valley Road is progressing as
fast a could we'll be desired by the direct
Ors and friends OF the road. The line is
being com eted at the rate of about q
mile day south of Hanford, and at pres
ent six miles OF the road from that place
are finished.
Tine work is also progressing well in
the Reedley line said Engineer Storey.
The big bridge across Kings River,
which Is 10 be when finished over a thou
sand feet long, is being pushed forward
steadily, and ought to be done by august

our line. | wish it were done now; 1t
would enable US to expedite matters all
along in that part of the country.
Now as to the route between Point
Richmond and Stockton, which has at
tracted the attention of the public for
quite little whi!e, l am obliged to say
That it IS stIil indefinite. We have two,
three or four parties out working on diff
ferent routes, and till we get the result of
their figure we cannot tell which route is
the best. So that is the way it stands.

CHARGE OF EMBRAOERY.
Samuel L. Martin on Trial at Batavia
 -Benham Murder Trial.

Batavia, Oct. 25.-The trial of Sam uel S. Martin, who was arrested on the 29th day of June last on the charge of embracery, was commenced before Justice Dunham here today.
 Martin was arrested on complaint of the district attorney, who had re- ceived information from one of Mar tins neighbours who, with Martin, had been summoned as juror on the Benham case, by the name of Weld rich. Weidrich told the peoples at torney that Martin had come to his house on the 10th of June and had talked about the Benham case with him and had advised him to allow the attorneys to get him on the jury if possible and to vote on every ballot for acquittal, as there was $1,000 in it for him if Benham was acquitted
 The first witness on the stand this morning was Weidrich, who swore to substantially the same matter as was stated in the complaint. He was still on the stand when court took a recess for dinner
