The day was perfect and the pictures will
be so, and the world will be filled with
their exhibitions. Many are curious to
know when they will be along and how
much it will cost to see the fight.
1t was learned yesterday that it will
probably be month before the pano-
rama will be ready for the public. The
long negatives are now being rushed to
New York for development and then for
reproduction in great quantity. They
will not at first be shown in the ordinary
kinetoscope, but will be displayed every
where by the magniscope, which will pro-
iect the moving scene of battle on screens
on lie-slZe scale.
The fight will he reproduced thus in
halls at stated hours each production be-
ing one entertainment. The company
will sell rights to States and P. Bacigalupi
is after the California right with the ex-
pectation of paving about SIC, 600 for,it.
Corbett attended the Orpheum Theater
last evening and when he appeared with
his wife during the second intermission
he received quite an ovation from the
audience. That great entertainment at
the Pavilion that was too early advertised
for last evening and which was to have
been Corbett's iumphal reception here
Simply and quietly was lost in the shuttle.
The Pavilion had been engaged by ALI
Eliinghouse OF the California Theater by
William A. Brady's order, but no deposit
Was put up and in the hour OF defeat the
affair lapsed without help or notice.

Judge Wallace Wanted to Punish
Nicholas Brennan's Attorney for
DESERVING Him.
Judge Wallace made an order yesterday
directing that Attorney ]. H. Long be
debarred from practicing his profession in
Department of the Superior Court, over
which the jurist named presldes.
Nicholas Brennan, charged with extor-
ton and placing a female in house of
ill repute, was called on 10 proceed with
his trial 1t was explained to the court
that Brennan was not ready to 60 ahead,
as his attorney, Mr.. Long, had deserted
him at the eleventh hour; that Long had
been paid $40 and wanted $3.50 more; that
Brennan was not able to pay the sum de-
manded and Long had left him in the
lurch.
Judge Wallace said he was sorry he
could not reach the derelict attorney in
some way, as he was deserving of severe
punishment. He deemed it duty to pro-
vide against a recurrence of such dis
graceful episode in bis court, and in
structed Clerk SaIomon to note a minute
order that Long should not hereafter be
permitted to practice law In that depart

Brennan's trial was postponed, in order
to give him a chance to hire 3 lawyer to

would like until the next day to consider.
The court refused to grant more than a
ter minutes recess.
When court again convened, Attorney
Richards reques ted, in behalf of the jury
and opposing counsel, that the case be
laid over till the next day. Judge Dunno
agreed.
Yesterday Judge Darwin argued for an
hour and half, and then the court gave
his instructions 10 the jury. 1t was the
most i'm portant criminal case over which
Judge Dunno has yet presided, and he
was very careful in his instructions, which
were full but fair.
The jury on the first ballot stood six for
conviction of murder and six for acquittal.
After several ballots they at length COM
promised on a verdict of mansaughter,
the very lowest degree of homicide. and
March q was fixed as the time for SEN
tence.
This was virtual triumph for the de-
tense, and even the jury men, in congratu-
latiDg Attorney Richards on his argu-
ment, stated that they would have voted
for murder in the first degree if he had
not succeeded in raising such doubts that
they could not conscientiously do so.
So Lucy has good reason to be thank

OAKLAND SPORTS RETURN.
Ex-Champion Van Courts Opinion
OF the Big Fight

Ex-Champion Van Courts Opinion
OF the Big Fight.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, March Is. I
The Oakland delegation from Carson ar
rived home this morning. They were all
satisfied with the square sport they wit
messed, but many regretted that they had
not put their money on the other man.
Eugene Van Court, who was formerly
champion amateur boxer and wrestler of
the coast, who was a great Corbett man,
had this. TO say to-day: "The fight was
won by Mrs. Fitzsimmons. Whenever
Fitzsi ,nmons went 10 his corner his vile,
who was only few feet away, spoke few
words TO him. and every time they seemed
to make new man of him. After the
seventh round, in which Fitzsimmons
was very nearly whipped, he fought only
for Mrs. Ftzsimmons Had it not been
for her presence believe Bob would have
given UP in despair and have been easily
knocked out in the eighth round. Before
leaving Carson Fitzsimmons admitted
that he believed he was beaten man
in the sixth round.
1T WAS great fight, and undoubtedly
Corbett is the cleyerer of Inc two men. 1t
was chance blow that Fitz simmons
wanted and the chance came l still be-
lieve that there is no one to-day superior
10 Corbett."
Charley Mautale n. who was in charge of
the special from Oakland, said every body
was satisfied that they had seen the great
est battle OF the age. "There is not the
slightest question:" be said, ..but that
Corbeit is by lar the better man. All the
Oaklanders had good time, though some
of them did not come home with as much
money as they expected. The trip was
well worth taking and the fight could not
nave been more scientific"

and he came home with enough coin 10
enable him to retire for several weeks.
Although the majority of Oakland visitors
only paid for $5 seats. they were occupy
ing $40 chairs before the affair was over.
When once the excitement started no
deputy sheriffs on earth could have pre-
vented the crowd from surging from the
rear of the arena to the many vacant
seats near the ring. In tins regard the
local delegation certainly got the worth of
their money.

An Accident to san Quentin Stage
Which Was Full of Passen-
The stage that runs between San Quen-
tin and Greenbrae Station on the broad
gauge railroad met with an accident yes
terday that fortunately id not result
fatally. The driver was driving a pair of
young horses that SHE'D on the grade near
the brickyard. The bus was thrown off
the bank into the bay, but the water at
that point was not over three and a half
ieet deep.
AT the time there were six passengers in
the stage and all were thoroughly soaked
in the cold, muddy waters.
Among them was young lady, who
tainted several times after being taken out
OF the covered vehicle and safely placed
on the bank. A deputy sheriff from Tu-
olumne County with prisoner were also
we'll soaked, and Deputy United States
Marshal Gallagher was wet to his waist.
The driver got his stage and horses out
without much damage. At the point
where the stage toppled over the bank
was fully six feet high.

SAVED BY HIS
ATTORNEYS SKILL
Lee All Lucy Owes His
Neck to Attorney
]. E. Richards.
A Practical Victory Won in a
Compromise Verdict of
Manslaughtsr.
He Was Accused of Numbering Dag
Ah Churg Last N vember-The
Case Hard Fought.

By the intricate mechanism of the law,
aided and abetted by the forensic elo-
quence of Attorney John E Richards, Lee
All Lucy stands to-day convicted of man
slaughter. Lucy is thankful for this, as
any client should be under the circum-
stances-nos that he was convicted of
manslaughter. of course, but that he
escaped hanging.
Lucy was charged with the murder of
Ong All Chung, which occurred shortly
after midnight on October 6, 1896. The
trial has been In progress in Judge
Dunne's court for ten days. and was a
battle royal.
Tne prosecution was represented by
Deputy D strict Attorney Hinkle, M NJ.
Foote and Judge c. B. Darwin, the de-
tense by John E. Richards.
Day before yesterday Attorney Foote
strove in every way TO convince the jury
that the defendant was guilty of Chung
murder. He succeeded. for everybody be-
lieved the jury was won over.
At about NJ, Immediately after
Foote had finished, Richards stepped to
the fore and began his argument.
He began colloauially in a low but
distinct voice. 1t is doubtful If he had
ever seen one of those jurors before the
trial began, but he seemed to know them
all. 1t was not long till the astute attor-
ney had gained his point-that jury was
interested.
The monotony was broken and he was
free to argue. One by one the points
made by the prosecution were placed
under the microscope OF logic and dis
sected, and as he proceeded the grim
looks of determination on the Iaces of the
jury began to soften and finally to cloud.
1t was plain to see that there were few
points they had overlooked.
Lee Ah Lucy was seen by three Chinese
witnesses to shoot down the street; was
heard to mention the name of Chung as
he did SO; was seen to hand his pistol to
a comrade, who vanished across the street,
and then he was seen to run, throwing q
fully load pistol into q basement as he
did so. But were those witnesses friendly !?
1t was proved by the attorney that they
belonged to rival faction, men who
would swear rivals life away for a song.
And why carry two pistols? Never had
the police in all their experience known q
highlander to carry two pistols.
So it went on. As the attorney finished
his argument he rose to burst of elo-
quence that increased the cloud of doubt
that obscured the minds of the jury on the
most important points, and the deed was
done.
Slowly Judge Darwin arose to his feet,
and addressing the court stated that there
were few things in Attorney Richards
argument he had not thought of, and

within the hall martial music and martial
decorations suggestive of love of country,
national pride and military effort.
Near the platform will be seated the
women of the Cuban League Auxiliary
and their friends.
Upon the rostrum with Mayor Phelan
and the speakers will be seated the hon
orary viee-preSidents of the evening, men
chosen from among bankers, lawyers,
merchants, representative trades unions
and various professions calculated to form
a body thoroughly representative of San
Francisco.
According to the remarks of the Of
feers of the Cuban League peo-
pie have now ceased to be ooou-
pied with thoughts of Carson and can
turn again to a more distant fight with its
more noble purpose. They can now
gather together and in crystallized senti-
ments strike an unwarlike but sympa-
thetie and helpful blow for Cuba that
must be free.
