parties, and bright colors replaced the
more somber hues that have been in evil
dence. The assembly has finished most
of it's sensa tional work, and is settled
down to business. The desire to reach
the end was seen in an unwillingness to
endure long debate, even upon important
matters.
Calls for invitations for the next Cen
eral Assembly have already been made.
Winana Assembly is in the field. asking
the body to return, but the probability
is that the majority of the Commission
ers will favor Philadelphia. The selec-
ton will not be reached for a couple of
days.

FAIR ESTATE CONTEST.
The Day Devoted to Cross-Examina-
tiOn of Expert Gumpel.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-The
whole of to-day's session of the Angus
Craven case was consumed in the
ss-examination of the expert, Max
Gumpel. 1t was shown by the defen-
dant that the witness had been at work
upon the various documents in con-
troversy for the past eighteen months,
and that he had reached the conclusion
that the pencil will was a forgery on
November 1G, 1896.
An effort was made by counsel for
the defense to show that Gumpers en-
ployers in the meantime had asked him
to testify that the will was a genuine
one.
Gumpel stated that he had not ex-
amined any of the genuine Fair let
ters written in the early eighties, be-
cause they were too remote from the
date of the disputed writing. Several
undated letters We're shown to Gum
pei. who stated that he had not exam
ined any documents which bore no
date. as there was nothing to show
when they were written.

money was given him, and also bor-
rowed large sums from his parishoners.
w. L. Bruen, the builder of the Tab

5000. When Mr.. Harrison learned
that an investigation was to be made
by the church, he departed hastily,
leaving his household goods He came

COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
FIENDlSH WORK OF ITALIANS
AT NEW ORLEANS.
CresinZO di Liello Robbed of His
Wife and Children and Then
Put to Death.

NEW ORLEANS, May 26-Italian ha-
tired and revenge are responsible for
one more murder in this city, the latest
victim of cold -blooded brutality being
Cresinzo di Liello, a basketmaker, who
three children.
A friend, another Italian, Francisco
CascalerO, some time ago borrowed
several hundred dollars from Di Liello
and worked his way into the good
graces of the basketmaker, who admit
ted him to the bosom of his family and
accorded him all the hospitality he
thought the intimacy demanded.
Last week Di Liello appeared before
the Second Recorders Court here and
made an affidavit against Francisco
charging him with the abduction of his
three children, claiming that his friend
had eloped with his wife and had also
taken his little ones, breaking up his
home and causing him bitter sorrow
He said Francisco had taken his wife
to New York, and upon this word was
sent to New York asking the arrest
of the entire party. The erring ones
were not found in New York.
Daily Di Liello appeared at the Cen
trail Police Station in this city asking
news of his lost ones, but no news was
given him. Yesterday the body of
man was discovered in the river A
crushed skull, a rope tied about the
neck and a grindstone attached thereto
indicated a murder. Upon an investi-
cation it was ascertained that the mur-
dere9 man was Di Liello. and the in
dications point to a crime committed
by the friends of Francisco in revenge
for fancied or real Sights upon the
name and fame of this Individual
1t is thought, in view of the fact that
Df Liello was seen upon the river front
during the day and his body was dis
covered before night, that he was in
weighed on board of a lugger and there
murdered and his body cast into the
water by the levee
1t has also transpired that Francisco
and the family OIL lie dead man did not
go to New York, but are in New Or
leans, and the presumption based upon
certain facts in possession of the police
is that Di Liello was decoyed on the
lugger in hopes of seeing the children
and there put to death.

Sawed Through the Bars of Their
Prison Cell.
The Postoffice at FalIbrook, a Small
Town i'm San Diego County, En-
tered by Burglars, and About
Three Hundred Dollars in Money
and Stamps Taken.

FRESNO, May 26-Frank Hall and
James Wilson, two desperate criminals,
escaped from the County Jail at !
o'clock this morning.
The prisoners were held for trial on
the charge of highway robbery Last
January they inaugurated a week of
a reign of terror here by holding up
and beating a dozen or so of leading
citizens, including r. B. Johnson, Jacob
Bloomingdale, A. L. Dios and others.
Deputy Sheriffs followed them to
Stockton and found them on boat en-
route to San Francisco. While hand
cuffed together the two men jumped
overheard as the boat neared the wharf
at San Francisco and We're nearly
drowned.
On being brought here they were pos
itively identified as the robbers by Mr..
Johnson and were to be tried next
week. They We're in a cell together and
sawed the bars of the cells which let
them into the corridor
By smashing a skylight they reached
the roof, and by means of a rope made
of their blankets let themselves to the
ground. AS they ran down NJ street,
near Ventura avenue, Policeman Cliff
ton saw them and called upon them to
stop.
They simply increased their pace. and
though the officer shot al them twice
they escaped. The officer did not know
the character of the men, and was at
tracted to them by their running.
During the week the Salvation Army
has been conducting services in the jail
and it is supposed that the bars were
cut during the progress of the services.
Night Jailer Perry, the elder, heard
the glass break and got up but made
no investigation. He did not know of
the escape until told by a convict.
The escaped men are supposed to be
old crooks and ex-convicts. The escape
demonstrates that the Jail is not steel,
as contracted for, but what mechanics
call Norway iron. There is great indig-
nation over the escape here, which is
attributed to official negligence. Blood
hounds we're eafietl into service. but the
dogs would not take up the trail. Dep
uty Sheriffs are securing the country.
