SAN FRANCISCO, March 13-The
supreme court, in a decision rendered
today, reversed the lower court in the
matter of James Eagon, convicted of al
tering the election returns of this city
at the election in 1894, and ordered new
trial. Eagon was an inspector OF
election, and the particular charge
against him was subtracting votes from
M. C. Haley for county clerk and add
ing them to the vote for c. F. Curry. The
supreme court held that the evidence
was purely circumstantial, and that II
did not warrant a conviction. In all
probability the case will be nolle pres
aed
