Mrs. Alice Raven, called later in the
trial by the defense in rebuttal, testified
that Harry Trent had confdentially in.
formed her that it was his design to win
the hand of his ward, Olympia Raven,
daughter Of the witness, but that at his
request witness had kept her daughter
In ignorance Of this plan. Cross-exsm-
ined, she said that Mr.. Trent had for
several years past been paying her an an
nual sum of eight thousand dollars, and
that he had told her that when his new
house was finished he would propose to
Olympia, and in case she accepted him
would take them both there to live with
him. In redirect examination witness
said that Mr.. Trent had not stated what
disposition Of his property or hospitality
he would make in case Olympia refused
him. Olympia herself, called by the
prosecution, testified that she had never
received any intimation that her guard
ian intended to marry her, and that in
any case she would never have married
him, though she loved him in another
way very dearly. The latter part Of this
testimony was objected to.
Randall Morris, head clerk Of Mr..
Trent, testified that he dined ut the club
with Mr.. Trept on the evening Of the
murder. They had discussed an i'm
portant matter Of business, relating to
valuable consignment Of jewels that
was expected from foreign correspond
ent. He added that no news of this con-
Signment had since then been heard Of;
but that, as the foreign correspondent
was in Paris, it was thought that the
hostilities now existing between France
anl GERMANY had caused the plan Of

evidence ttself. His address was short
and impartial, and at its close the jury
retired for deliberation.
They remained ont eighteen hours.
When they re-entered court the room
was nearly empty. In answer to tho
clerks question the foreman said that
their verdict was guilty Of murder in the
second degree, premeditation not having
been established. It was, as some of the
jurors afterward explained in interviews
with the reporters, deed done in the
heat Of passion over the refusal of Trent
to listen to Darke's proposal-the hasty
outcome OF quarrel between two men
both loving the same young woman.
The judge sentenced the prisoner to
imprisonment at hard labor for life.
Motion for new trial was denied.
The prisoner was taken back to the
Tombs, and arrangements were made to
send HIM to Sing Sing that night.

CHAPTER III.
TRIAL AND SENTENCE.

As our aim is not to harrow the reader
with the multiplication Of vain details,
snly the gist of the newspaper reports Of
tho time will be given here.
The coroner's jury found that Harry
Trent was feloniously murdered on the
night Of February twenty-five or the
morning Of February twenty-six, eight
cen hundred and seventy, by n knife
OF dagger in the hands of Keppel Darke,
an artist and portrait painter. The case
was promptly laid before the grand jury,
who brought in a true bill against the
accused. He was committed for trial,
and meanwhile was lodged in the Tombs
prison.
The district attorney announced that
he was ready to go on with the trial at
once, and Mr.. Bannick, Of counsel for
the accused. replied that no obstacles
would be interposed on their Gde. Ao-
cordingly, after day spent in getting
jury, the trial began. We will summa-
rize the evidence according to the chrono-
logical order Of eventA
Mrs. Sally Matchin, who appeared
dressed in black, created . sensation in
court by stating that her real name was
now Mrs. Harry Trent, widow Of the
deceased, she having been privately mar
ried to him in France in the year
eighteen hundred and si1ty-nine It
was on account of this marriage that
Trent had built his new house. She was
asked to give a reason for the secrecy
that had been maintained, but the ques-
ton was objected to and the objection
was sustained. She said that she BE-
lieved she had been provided for in her
late husbands will, but NO VIII had at
this date been found. She added that
Nh. Trent had taken tea at her home on
West Eighteenth street on the afternoon
before the murder, and that they had
then arranged to Immediately issue in
vitations to reception at his now house,
when the public announcement Of their
marriage was to have been made. When
they parted that evening hs waa in good

A PENTECQsT JOURNEY.
Walks On Her Barred and Bonded
Knees to Keep q Vow.

Walking on barred and Bonded
knees for a quarter of mile along
q dusty and stony road may seem a
queer way to show ones apprecia-
ton of the gifts of God, but that is
the way in Mrs. Louisa Williams of
San Leandro annually pays debt
of gratitude to her maker. On Sat-
urday she accomplished the feat for
the sixteenth time.
Mrs. Williams is the wife of J. P.
Williams, who owns a large fruit
farm near San Leandro, across the
Bay. Seventeen years ago her hus-
band lost his sight. Eminent ocu-
lists examined his eyes and all
agreed that he would never see
again. Then the wife turned to God.
She prayed on her Bonded knees
that be restore her husband to sight.
She vowed that if her prayer was
granted she would walk on her barred
knees from her home to the church
in the annual procession of the Holy
Ghost, that she would feed the poor
and care for the distressed.
Whether or not her prayers were
heard and answered or whether or
not vision returned to the blinded
eyes through some natural cause,
the unusual happened. The eyesight
of Williams was restored within a
few weeks afterward, and to-day the
fruitman sees as we'll as any man.
Mrs. Williams, her husband, her
relatives and all her neighbors be-
lieve that her prayers and the per-
Torrance of the vow caused the
miracle to be done. In that belief
she has taken her painful journey
each year to the church. She took
it on Saturday, and will, doubtless,
continue to take it while the power
to travel remains.
There has never been ostentation
or preparation on the part of Mrs.
Williams for the journey, and Sat.
urday night she made no exception
to the rule. Clad in her everyday
garb, carrying in her appraised hands
the silver crown which represents
the crown of the Holy Ghost, she
walked from her house to the road
knelt reverently, and, with her
hands and eyes appraised, proceeded
to move on her knees to the church
full quarter of a mile. Slowly she
toiled the distance, bareheaded in
the sun, her lips moving in prayer
while the flints and the stones on
the highway cut into her flesh.
It took her over an hour to com.
plete the journey, the people along
the route standing prayerfully by
as she slowly passed along. Once
in the church, the woman, almost
overcome from exhaustion, prayed
for the continuance of favors from
her creator.-S. F. Chronicle.

TESLA'S LATEST INVENTION.
Telegraph Messages Carried Through
the Earth Without Wires.
The Noted Electrician Gives an illustration
of the Manner in Which He Has
Solved the Great Problem.

At last Nicola Tesla has reached
q point in his Investigation of the
possibility of telegraphing without
wires to make q positive announce
msnt of bis achievement.
"The machines which have COM
pleted," Tesla said in an interview
at New York last Saturday, will
carry messages through the earth
for a distance of twenty miles or so.
I have sent and received signals
with them, and l feel confident l am
not mistaken in saying the problem
upon which l have spent many
days and nights is solved. l shall
at once make machines which l ex-
pect will enable me to telegraph to
any part of the earth as readily as
I can within limited distance by
means of the ones l have"
As long ago, he said, as when be
was putting up telephone wires in
Budapest, be observed that electri-
cal'impulses were carried long dis
tances without the Intervention of
wires. There was telegraph cable,
one and half or two miles away,
over which messages were being sent
by the Morse code, and at times be
could read these messages through
the telephone. This set him to in
vestigating the electrical condition
of the air. He became satisfied that
the messages were conveyed to the
telephone wires by induction.
In explaining the theory upon
which the device for telegraphing
over the earth rests, he said: Sup
pose the whole earth to be like a
hollow rubber ball filled with water,
and at one place I have a tube at
tached to this with plunger in the
tube. If l press upon the plunger,
the water in the tube will be driven
into the rubber ball, and as the
water is practically incompressible,
every part of the surface of the ball
will be expanded. If / withdraw
the plunger, the water follows it and
every part of the ball will contract.
"Now, if I pierce the surface of the
ball several times and set tubes and
plungers at each place, the plungers
in these will vibrate up and down,
in answer to every movement which
may produce in the plunger of the
first tube. If l were to produce an
explosion in the center of the body
of water in the ball, this would set
up a series of vibrations in the
whole body.
"If 1 could then set a plunger in
one of the tubes to vibrating in con-
sonance with the vibrations of the
water, in a little while and with the
use of very little energy could
burst the whole thing asunder."
This, Tesla said, would explain in
a rude way how he proposed to set
the whole of the static electricity of
the earth in motion for telegraphic
purposes by taking advantage of
the incompressibility and elasticity
of the electric fluid.
