OF
 4 MURDERER Georgia Fugitive Found on a Contra Costa
 Farm. Suprende Without Resistance and Admits He Is the
 Man Wanted.
Now Behind the Bars at Modesto Awaiting the Arrival of an
 Officer.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MARTINEZ, Cal, March 9.-A mur- derer who has been wanted in Canton, Cherokee County, Ga, is now behind the bars, and the $500 reward will go to Deputy Sheriff Jones, to whom credit is due for making the important capture. The prisoners name is Joseph Hamil- ton Wayne, alias Jo Hamilton. Last August he was working on the road in Georgia, and got into quarrel with the road overseer, resulting in Wayne killing the foreman with a shovel.
 Immediately after the crime was committed Wayne skipped. Cards were sent out to Sheriffs all over the United States, but without any result. Finally Sheriff Purvis of Stanislaus County learned that Wayne had a brother living in that vicinity. A few months ago Wayne's brother left Stan islaus County, moving to Contra Costa, and rented what was once the Saliva tion Army's refuge for criminals, '"The Golden Gate Farm" Purvis notified Sheriff Veale to be on the lookout, as he expected that the murderer would probably show up at his brothers soon.
 Sheriff Veale and Deputy Sheriff Jones visited the vicinity of the Golden AJdI6 T Dul IlOtuluS MdS occll Ol the much-wanted man. Yesterday morning, however, Deputy Sheriff Jones went to the Wayne place. and as he was driving through the ranch came across the criminal. He asked hirn the road to a certain house, and from the description sent out immediately rec ognized the fellow. Returning to town, Sheriff Purvis was notified and came to Martinez on the evening train from Modesto. Accompanied by several off, cers, all went to the Wayne house In the evening, and when the occupants were aroused Sheriff Purvis said to Wayne's brother: T want Jo; I know he is here.'
 "Yes," answered the brother; "and he will go with you without any trou- ble."
 In a few moments Jo rushed down stairs with a Bible in his hand. Here I am; you can take me-" said the mur- derer 'I killed the fellow, but it was unintentional- It was done in the heat of passion. I will stand trial"
 This morning Sheriff Purvis took Wayne to Modesto, where he will be held awaiting the arrival of the officer from Georgia, who has been notified.

SEATTLE, March 9.-The steamship Humboldt, which arrived in port this morning from Lynn Canal ports, brings the story of a serious fire on the steamer Whitelaw on the morning Of March 4. The fire was discovered shortly after the Whitelaw dropped anchor a half mile out in the stream from the Skaguay wharf. She had just completed a long and eventful trip from San Francisco, and, as the wharves were full, had to anchor in the stream.
 The first the officers of the Humboldt knew of the trouble on the Whitelaw was when she began to blow signals or distress. Shortly afterward smoke was seen issuing from the forward hatch way. The passengers were rushing about her decks wild with fear. They tried to lower the ships boats while the crew was fighting the fire. In the excitement one of the passengers fell overboard He was rescued after con- siderable trouble.
 The tug Mascotte started out and brought ashore some sixty of the pas sengers. The captain of the tugboat said that they were crazy to leave the ship. They told him that a large quan- tity of dynamite was in her hold near the fire and liable to explode at any moment A lighter was run alongside and quickly loaded with freight.
 In the meantime the smoke and flames increased and the crew could not get them under control Captain Dol lard decided to beach the ship and pump her full of water. He headed her for shore and backed the stern into the mud The Whitelaw's big wreckfng pumps were then turned into the hold and pumping was continued all morn ing.
 AS the Humboldt left the harbor the fire was under control. The tide had left the steamship high on the beach- and she had listed heavily on her side. The officers of the Humboldt do not be- lieve that the Whitelaw is injured to any great extent They say that the outfits of the sixty passengers were probably destroyed with the general merchandise cargo. Seventeen horses tied in the hold were burned. The fire is supposed to have originated in one of the coal bunkers or from spontane- ous combustion among the oil bags full of outfits The Whitelaw will be able to pump her hold out with the pumps used when the steamship operated as 8. wrecker.
 The tug Sea Lion arrived in Seattle late this evening from Skaguay. Her officers report that when the tug went out of the harbor last Friday evening the fire in the Whitelaw was out and the crew had a portion of the ships cargo out on the beach.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 NAPA, March 9.-Nine Jurors have been secured to decide the question of life or death for George R. Clark, the confessed murderer of his brother. Will liam A. Clark. at St. Helena last Janu- ary. Four were secured to-day and five were sworn in yesterday. After the ninth man was accepted by both the prosecution and the defense only a few of the venire of 120 summoned to ap- pear at the beginning of the trial were left, and none of them qualified as un- biased jurors. The venire was ex hausted with three vacant chairs in the jury box. Another venire was required and when 1t was shown that the Sheriff of the county was a material witness for the prosecution and not a proper person to summon the required tales men J. w. Wright was appointed eiisor and he was instructed to have the ve- hire in court on Saturday morning.
 It is thought that the jury will be completed on that day and on Monday witnesses for the trial will be put on the stand. The nine jurors so far chosen are w. A. Leonard. C. P Bales. I. G.

PLEADING FOR THE PARRICIDE Self-DefenSe Claim ed by Thomas Flannelly's
 Counsel.
John Kerr Charged With Perjury and Mercenary
 Motives.
Closing Argument to Be Made To- Day When the Case Will Go
 to the Jury.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

| SAN JOSE, March 9.-District Attor- ney Walker of San Mateo County opened the argument in the F'lannelly murder case this morning. His ad- dress was short, and only occupied about an hour. He called attention to Constable Barton's testimony in regard to the gunshot wounds inflicted on Pat rick Flannelly, and said that the flight of the defendant after the crime proved that the killing was not justifable.
 Attorney Straus for the defense fol- lowed. He opened his statement by saying: We do not come here plead ing for mercy or leniency. We have firm basis, that of justification. Since we know we are right we demand verdict at your hands. We do not in- tend to try to prove that the man was crazy. No. His act was one of a sane man. It was self-defense. I care not who he is, or what he may be, there is no man who will not defend his life eVith the life of another"
 He then took up the testimony of John Kerr. He said this man had given false testimony and in trying to send Flannelly to prison or the gallows it was with the hope that he might en- joy the wealth of his father-in-law, Patrick Flannelly. Mrs. Flannelly was aged and Kerr was trying to get pos session of the estate for his wife. Straus said the witness deliberately perjured himself when he stated that he did not know Flannelly senior had a revolver and then subsequently, admitted that he had given him a pistol. He finished with this witness by saying he wished him no harm, but only hoped that whatever fortune he may receive from the Flannelly estate may not be tinged too much with the knowledge of his guilt.
 Attorney Straus then said that Mrs. Jane Flannelly, sister Of the defend ant, had spoken the truth when she said Patrick Flannelly always had a pistol under his pillow, and he took District Attorney Harrington to task for compelling the sister to testify against her brother.
 Mrs. Catherine Flannelly's testimony was touched upon lightly. Counsel said Kerr had prejudiced her mind. and that he did not believe Mrs. Flannelly knew what she said when she gave her testi- mony. The attorney went over the tes- timony of Witnesses Doyle and Bar ton, and derided the idea that Flannel ly premeditated murder when he sad dled up his horse to go and see his fa- ther on the night of the killing. He ridiculed the testimony given by Simon Winner that the defendant had ever said he would do his father up.''
 Attorney Straus had not finished speaking when court adjourned. He will occupy two hours tomorrow, and will be followed by District Attorney Harrington, who closes for the prosecu- tion. It is probable the case will go to the jury tomorrow night.

He wrote that he was climbing over a fence when the gun discharged, the load of shot striking him under the chin and emerging near the left ear The young man gradually sank, and death came to end his sufferings early this morning.
