THE JURY DISAGREED
Crandall Has Another Chance to Try
For Liberty

The fate of Frank D. Crandall was
placed in the hands of the jury in De-
partment one at 1884 yesterday after
noon, after Deputy District Attorney
McComas had made a stirring closing
argument for the people and Judge
Smith had read voluminous Instructions
to the jury. AT 5:15 no intimation had
been received that they were getting
near an agreement, and the court or
dered them to be called in.
In response to a query from the court
as to how they stood with regard to num-
bers, but not as to the guilt or innocence
Of the defendant, the foreman, who had
evidently not well understood, blurted
out: I'VE stand eight for conviction and
four for acquittal." Judge Smith was
not please at this lack of jury etiquette,
but his protest was mild. Upon an as
surance from another juror that there
was prospect for an agreement, they
were ordered back to deliberate.
Again at 1880 in the evening they
came into court with the same tale, eight
for conviction and four for acquittal.
On the representation of the foreman
that there was little probability of an
agreements being reached, they were

Adams and Webb mentioned that 1t
should be months salary.
When the witness had been sub
poenaed to appear the first time before
the grand jury he said to Webb: What
shall I swear to at the examination be-
fore the grand jury?" and Webbs reply
was: That's dead easy. Swear 1t into
Pitman's pocket"
Mr.. Meserve's cross examination dealt
with most of the statements witness had
made before the grand jury and at the
Investigation, his purport being to show
that he had perjured himself repeatedly.
In explanation, Axtell said that some of
the testimony given by him had been
false, because he knew that If he told the
truth he would surely lose his position.
He testified that when he had sworn that
he had received no money from Pitman
or any one else he had obeyed instruc-
tions.
Axtell denied positively that the next
day after Webb had demanded from him
his undated resignation, he tore it up
and threw it in the waste basket, saying
that he had been misinformed and
apologized for his hasty action. Webb,
he added, never again referred to the
RESIGNATION When lie udu II.
The witness further said that he had
never written, dictated or signed letter
to Attorney Frank f. Davis releasing
him of his obligation as his lawyer not to
testify to privileged communications
which might have passed between them
respecting this case. He also denied that
Jim Hellman was present at any of his
conversations with Davis.
Mr.. Meserve tried to introduce into the
case part of the grand jurys report for
1898, in relation to schoolmasters, at
which time Axtell was also up before
that body, with view of showing that
at that epoch, like Old Dog Tray, the
witness had fallen into bad company
once before.
On redirect examination by Major
Donnell, Axtell was asked if he could ex-
plain the conflicting statements he had
made before the grand jury in regard to
money matters. He answered that he
had been under the impression at that
time that the inquiries were in regard to
money paid for positions in the school
department, and it was under that i'm
preston that he testified as he did. He
also said that he understood that his

]. F. Adams was now called but there
was no answer. Deputy Sheriff Fleming
was sent for, and he stated that he had
served the subpoena upon Adams on
Thursday at 1880 a. m. The witness
was in bed sick, and protested that he
was not shamming. Thereupon the
court ordered an attachment issued
against Adams returnable at 12:45, and
an adjournment until that hour was
taken.
At that hour the officer reported Adams

TEMPLE STREET CABLE
The Petition to Discontinue Part of
the Road to Be Withdrawn

The matter of Alvord against the Tenn
pie Street Gable Railway company was
heard yesterday before Judge Allen in
the superior court and the petition from
the receiver of the road, Ed T. Wright,
for leave to discontinue the running of
cars from Texas street to the western
city limits was denied. This matter is
now in the hands of the city council
which expects to deal with it at it's next
session.
The people of the locality to be affect
ed, if the measure should carry, are up in
arms against it and will protest as hard
as they can next Monday in the city hall
if it be necessary, but everything indi-
Gates that the obnoxious petition will be
withdrawn at that time.
1t is said by the managers of the road
to have been due entirely to the initia-
tive of Receiver Wright, and that they
are not in harmony with the contemplar-
ed step, because the present income of
the road, for one thing, does not justify
it, and because they are also averse to
relinquish a valuable franchise to Il
part of the road which must in time be-
come we'll settled.
On the authority of Edgar E. Lefevre,
an attorney-at-law, who is connected
with the management of the cable road,
it may be stated that Wrights petition
to the council is to be withdrawn.

EROLINDA FREE
And Now Sesma Whom She Shot
Roars Because of His Expenses

The case Of Erolinda Courtney,
charged with an assault to murder, was
dismissed yesterday by Judge Smith on
motion of the district attorneys office.
1t will be remembered that Erolinda
Courtney, a Mexican woman, shot a
young man named Juan Sesma in the
back on September 9th near Duarte
Mrs. Courtney was married woman,
living apart from her husband, who was
credited with consorting with male
companions and being addicted to drink
1t is said by Sesma and his friends that
she, like Mrs. Potiphar, forced her at
tentions upon the coy Juan, and that he,
even as the chaste Joseph had done, fled
from her Establishments and sought la
Dor in the fields with spade.
There the jealous and scorned Erolin-
da followed him and shot twice at the
man, who in consequence of bullet in
the loins was laid up in bed for month
and nearly died.
The case was all ready for trial when
it was dismissed, owing to a misunder-
standing between the deputy district at
torney who had the case in charge and
the complaining witness and his friends.
They had stated at one time that they
were willing to drop the prosecution if
the Courtneys would pay Sesma's eX-
penses during his illness, and thus the
case stood yesterday when it was dis
missed.
But no sooner had the defendant been
discharged than Mr.. Sesma commenced
complaining because he had not received
a cent of his medical or other expenses
and he considers himself aggreved. Err
olinda has gone back to her husband Jim
and it Is not unlikely that this action of
hers is in measure accountable for

Mrs. Marlatt's Complaint

The complaint in the suit of Josephine
Marlatt against Louis B. Marlatt has
been ordered dismissed by Judge York.
1t was case in which a husband had
conveyed by deed to his son all the COM
munity property, leaving no provision
for the wife's support. She alleged
fraud. On the other hand the defend
ant claimed that his mother and him
self had compromised by Mrs. Marlatt
accepting as payment in full a promis-
sorry note for $500 payable Jan. l. 1905
The court held that such was the condi-
ton of affairs and that the plaintiff was
not entitled to partition of her de-
ceased husbands estate or to decree
annulling the deed.

men for Jan. Is. In the meantime on

non-legality of the acts of police judges

beginning of 1896, which is part of the
defense in the Everett case, the litigants
expect that the judgment Of the whole

guiding star to them to lead them out
of troubled waters in their own suit.

Der of the firm in which United States

that while supplies may be purchased

them through the British possessions.
On the other hand, the opening Of Dyea

allow him to purchase them in Victoria
and carry them on to the mines duty

He declared that the establishment
of Dyea as support of entry was an
injustice to the interests of the citizens

granted at the request of the Canadian
Pacific railroad.
1t was ordered that the joint COM
mittee of the chamber of commerce.

close the SUPPORT of entry at Dyea and
to cooperate with all the cities OF the

C. C.. Burns, who left Dawson City,
September 80. Burns poled up the
Yukon and came out over the Chilkoot
trail. He stated that when he left
Dawson no one had started down the
Yukon for provisions. The people
we're daily expecting boats from st.
Michaels. They thought that the boats
were delayed by accident, and knew
nothing of their inability TO ascend the
river. Burns said there would be no
starvation at Dawson this winter.
though rations would be limited with
some.
According to Burns, the only new
GOLD discoveries made this year were on
SULPHUR creek, and that field was not
proving SO rich as Eldorado or Bonanza
creeks. Burns brought down with him
about Sc, 900 in nuggets and dust, the
