CURIOUS CoINCIDENCEs.-Iua W. rk
called the Lives of the Presidents" is
a table of the periods in which they
were born and went out of oflice-John
Adams, born 1875, retired in 1901.
Thomas il tferson, horn in 1743, retired
in 1909. James Madison, horn 1751,
retired 1917. James Monroe, born
1859, retired1S25. John Quincy Adams,
born 1867, retired 1929.
1t will be seen by this that Jefferson
was horn just eight years after his pre-
decessor, Adams; Madison eight years
after his predecessor, Jefferson; Mon
roe eight years after Madison and John
Quincy Adams eight years after Mon
roe.
Another curious fact to he observed
is that Adams was jus; 66 years old
when he retired, Jefferson was &c,
Madison was sc. Monroe was &C, aud
John Quincy Adams, had he been
elected 10 the second term, would have
been 66 also.
Adams, Jefferson and Monroe ali

of death, offered his doctor last Friday
night $4,000 for one drink of cold
water. The aged sufferer was WI II
alb G to pay this sum, and bigger, for
relief from the thirst that consumed
him. He counted his wealth by II G
hundreds of thousands. He owed
broad acres in Monmouth county,
handsome blocks in cities and stror g
boxes filled with stocks aud bonds, Yet
all his wealth was powerless to pur-
chase him an instant's respite from bis

STOCKTON YOUNG Mars DISGRACE
Daniei Delaney Once West Point
Cadet, Confesses That He rs
Wheat Tibet.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 2. - Daniel
Delaney, young man of this city, who
years ago won honors and distinction and
found himself on the smooth road to
success, was this forenoon led into the
Sheriff's Office by Constable Carroll for
temporary detention. He had been steal
ing wheat, the officers learned of it, and
Delaney confessed. 1t came very close to
being felony. The line of denarkation
between petit larceny and grand larceny,
the latter being felony, is $50. A fuctu-
alton in the market is the only thing that
saved the young man from having to face
State Prison. Wheat prices took fall
just at the time, and the grain stolen was
worth only about s4S.
Delaney stole a load of wheat from
Farmer Magma, who lives six miles from
the city, and disposed of it. He is the
man who attempted to steal wheat from
the Jordan place and was driven off by
Mrs. Thorpe and Mrs. Jordan at the point
of pistol.
Daniel Delaney several years ago won
the appointment to West Point Military
Academy in a competitive examination.
He did not finish the course there, but
returned to this city aud was married
shortly afterwar! !. 1t was reported at the
time that i'll health was the cause OF his
leaving the military school.

STAYS TO SAVE
HIS MOTHER
Richard Griffin Killed
by a PluCky Fresno
Youth.
Attacks Mrs. Carrie Partee
and Is Riddled With
Bullets.
All Parties to the Tragedy Colored
People Living In the Negro
District.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. Gilbert Partee,
an 11-year-old boy, at an early hour this
morning shot and instantly killed Rich
ard Griffin, who had invaded the Partee
home and viciously attacked Mrs. Carrie
Partee, the boys mother. All parties to
the tragedy, which occurred in the west
ern portion of the city, are colored.
Griffin had been friend of Partee and
his family for some years. Some time
ago, when Mrs. Partee went away from
the city, she left Griffin to guard the
house. At about l o'clock this morning.
Griffin went to the Partee home, and,
humping upon the cellar door, demanded
admittance. Mrs. Partee asked him what
he wanted and he told her that he wanted
his clothes. She reminded him of the I'M
seasonable hour and told him to go away
and come in the morning. He said he
wanted to leave early this morning.
Thereupon young Partee. who, with Miss
Eliza Baker, was with his mother, opened
the door and handed him a lighted lamp.
Mrs. Partee told Griffin that he would find
his clothing in the cellar.
The fellow took the lamp and went into
the cellar, where he remained for twenty
minutes or more. All the while he was
in the cellar he was most profane and.
made great noise. He then demanded
admIttance upstairs, and on being refused
became very violent. Mrs. Partee finally
went to the door and declared she would
shoot him if he did not go away. He
threw the lamp at her and also q handle
less hammer and swore he would kill
them all. Neither the lamp nor the
hammer hit the woman, and she shot
into the floor TO scare her assailant.
Griffin then rushed upon the woman
like tiger and threw her back upon the
bed. They rolled off to the floor, the
woman falling face downward and Griffin
pinning her down with his knees and
resting his full weight upon her. He
choked her and fercely bit her on the
neck, leaving the imprints OF two sets of
teeth In her flesh.
In the rush he had secured the pistol,
for the possession of which a struggle now
ensued. Miss Baker seized his left arm
and the boy the right hand, securing the
pistol. Mrs. Partee was shouting, Don't
shoot" fearing the boy might kill her.
The nerves of that lad were too steady
for that, however. He watched his
opportunity and sent two bullets into
Grifin's body just below the shoulder
blades. Griffin released his victim, arose
and ran out. He soon changed his mind
and was coming back when the boy fired
two more shots, both taking effect in the
lett SIDE one in the region of the heart
and the other in the left lobe of the liver.
Griffin fell dead few feet from the door
The brute who so deservedly met death
was a strapping fellow and 35 years of
age. The Corouer's jury exonerated the
lad.

THE JUDGE Will SEE.
Evidence Relative to Murder
Introduced in the Figel
Case.
The Absence of Several Witnesses for
the Prosecution Causes Another
Early Adjournment.

The thirteenth day of Theodore A.
Figeps examination on charge OF en-
bezzlement opened the avenue yesterday
for the introduction Of testimony in re-
gard to the charge of murder which also
hangs over the defendant.
T. r. Hutchinson, a commission mer-
chant of this City, resident of Oakland,
testified to having met Isaac Hoffman at
7:30 A. NJ. in Sacramento on May Is, 1897.
Witness was not cross-eIamined.
Detective Ross Whitaker testified that
he had been detailed by Chief OF Police
Lees to ascertain the whereabouts OF Isaac
Hoffman between the dates of May II in
the morning ana May IS at night. He
won't to Sa cramento and saw the name L.
Hoffman, San Francisco, on the register
OF the Golden Eagle Hotel.
In answer 10 an objection by the de-
Tense, Attorney Ach stated he wished to
show that Isaac Hoffman could not have
reached this City from Sacramento on
May 49, 1897, until 8:45 P. NJ. However the
detective was withdrawn.
Mrs. Dora Hoffman, widow OF the late
Isaac Hoffman, was put on the stand by
the prosecution to establish the time her
husband LETT home on May II, 1897, and
the hour of his return.
''He left me in the morning." the lady
said, carrying with him grip. | knew
he intended to GO either to Stockton or
Sacramento. He only remained away one
night, returning home May IL, 1897, at 8
P. NJ. This is the only night my husband
stayed away from home since his return
from New York in January last We
usually dined between the hours OF 6:l5
and P. NJ, and when in this City my
husband always dined at home"
There was no cross-examination.
81 want TO inform you gentlemen" de-
clared Judge Campbell at this point, that
I want to again visit the scene of the kill
ing and desire TO be furnished with q
magnifying glass"
"Will the court kindly inform us what
he intends to magnify" asked General
Barnes
II want to examine the bullet holes in
the wall to see which way the bullets
went. l believe that to be essential in
this case, but if you gentlemen object l
will not insist"
I'VE object to nothing, your Honor, "
mildly stated Barnes. Excepting possibly
to Mr.. Ach."
objection sustained" gravely said the
court.
II would say, however, resumed
Barnes Il believe it would best suit this
case If we waited until we got 10 that
bridge before crossing it."
II didn't know but we would save time
by making the examination this after
noon, seeing that the witnesses you have
called are not here and it will take some
time TO get them by attachment"
The arrival of A. Perutz, note teller OF
the London, Paris and American Bank in
March last for whom an attachment had
been issued, allowed matters to proceed.
His testimony, however, had little new in
It, being principally as to FlgePs dealings
with the bank
The case will be resumed in the morn
ing.
