N0RMAN'S DINNER.
Mrs Katie MaIcOmson Thinks 1t In
duced Jury to Couvict Her
of AraOn.

Mrs. Katie Malcomson has by inference
suggested that the jurors who tried her on
a caarge of arson had TOO good a dinner
at NOTmln'S restaurant on the evening
that the trial closed and that they were
otherwise influenced in their decision
against her.
In Judge Carroll Cooks court yesterday
Mrs. Malcomson moved for a new tIial and
flied an affidavit setting forth her reasons
for thinking tffat she had not had fair
trial She Tecounts the fact that the
jurors had great difficulty in agreeing on a
verdict, and that they were sent back for
deliberston after they had informed tn e
court that they thought they could not
agree.
The main point, however, seems to be
that they were taken TO dinner at Nor
mans place at the corner of Market and
Powell streets and that they were allowed
to remain at dinner from 5 As to 8 o'clock /;
and that they were given to understand
that unless they agreed on verdict they
would be locked up for the night.
In con sequence of these happenings,
Mrs. Maicomson says, verdict of guilty
was delivered by the jury at S:45 that
night. She is of the opinion that the

handsomely decorated and the music to
be rendered will be by the very best musi-
clans. Special invitations have been iss led
to all the different societies located in the
City, and judging from the letters of ac-
ceptance received to date they will all
have representatives. present. The mem
bers of the club are very enthusiastic over
the affair and are working tooth and nail
TO make it great success. From present
indications the spacious hall will be taxed
to its utmost capacity, and the COM
mittee's only fear at this time Is that II
will be unable to provide accOmm cd ations
for the vast throng that promises to be
present upon that occasion.
1t can be truthfully said that the pro-
gramme to be rendered upon that even
ing will equal if not surpass anything OF
its kind ever before given IN this City.
Every participant is an artist in his or her
particular line, and every one VINO chooses
to attend will be amply repaid for the
small price of admission that will be
charged.
The com mittee has resolved to have no
reserved seats, but will throw the entire
house open to the public, first come, first
served" Acting Royal Chief J. Hill will
officiate as master of ceremonies, and the
floor will he under the management of
Ciansman Wllllam OTauI, assisted py an

The games committee is likewise very
busy with the ARRANGEMENTS for the an
nual ga herring to take place at Shell

sports will be up to the standard of former
years and will EN- brace many new feat
ures. a grand souvenir programme is
being prepared and will be issued upon
that occasion. Athletes from every part
of the State will be present and the COM
petitions promi e to be very spirited.

The Steamer Brought Up Runaway

Aboarj.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
Eureka has been making a record. On
each of her last three voyages a marriage
has taken place ABOARD, and in no in
stance, so Captain Parsons says, was the
bride or groom seasick. The marriage of
the first couple has been recorded; the
second couple were Thomas J. Hudson
and Irene Power, and the third P. S.
Swift and Rose Harmon.
When the Eureka left here for southern
ports Captain Parsons never imagined
that twice be would have to act as par
son before the good ship got back to this
port. At Santa Barbara Mr.. Hudson,
aged 25, and Mrs. Powers, aged %, came
aboard. Both had been through the di-
vorce mill, and as their legal papers were
only few days old, it was necessary TO
get married at sea in Difference TO the
laws of California. Mrs. Smith, the stew
ardess, was bridesmaid and Chief Officer
Gray best man.
As soon as the Eureka reached Ventura
the happy couple landed and took tram
for Santa Barbara.
P. S. Swift is treasurer of the base ball
league, but only 20 years old. Miss Ham
ION is a handsome little lady and 10 years
old. The couple decided upon M rr. age,
but SYift's parents are in the East and
could not readily be reached, 50 a mar
riage on the high seas was decided upon
On her way north the Eureka was boarded
at Santa Cruz, and Captain Parsons was
again called upon. The vessel was kept
the official three marine leagues off shore
and al daybreak yesterday the maria ge
knot was tied. Mrs. Smith again served
as bridesmaid and Chief officer Gray as
groomsmaD. Both the officials are now
becoming experts in the marriage busi-
ness and the captain is now called the
reverend by all his friends on the wa er
front.
[SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 5.-Rose
Harmon and Percy Swift are both in
town, but they don't appear to know any
thing about the story that they were mar
ried. Miss Hammon's mother and broth er
laugh at the idea of there having been a
wedd ing. Both young people are of good
families. Swift is son of the well-to-do
and wel-known widow of one of the
prominent men Of Santa Cruz. The
