PAIL MALL GAZETTE

Considers Mckinley's Message as Strong
But Temperate-Spain Determined to-
Fight Hopeless Battle.
LONDON, April 13.-The Pail Mall
Gazette regards the message as strong
but temperate. and says:
president KcKinley is right in fol-
lowing the constitutional course of
throwing upon congress the response
bility for national action, and there is
no doubt what congress answer will
be. In our opinion it is too late to
avoid war, as Spain is apparently de-
termined to fight a hopeless battle
rather than yield to demands which,
though expressed by America alone.

BENNETT WANTS TO GET OUT
THINKS HE OUGHT TO BE
PAROLED.
The Man Who Tried to Murder His
Defenseless Wife q Year
Ago.

James G. Bennett, who attempted to
kill his former wife in San Francisco
about a year ago. is now striving to get
out of San Quentin on a parole.
The act for which Bennett is now
serving two years behind the bars at
San Quentin was a particularly afro
cious one. Benefits wife was forced
to obtain a divorce from him on ac-
count of his cruelty toward her. For
weeks Bennett dogged her footsteps,
and on September 2Sth of last year he
assaulted his helpless victim by plung
into her throat at ii McAllister street,
nearly severing the jugular vein.
He attempted to commit suicide as
he was being placed under arrest, and
later on escaped from the hospital He
was caught in Victoria, B. c., and re-
turned to San Francisco for trial On
his return to the San Francisco Jail
Bennett declared to Detective Ed Glib
son that he was sorry the knife blade
was not longer, as then it would have
caused the woman's death. He re-
peatedly asserted that as soon as he
regained his liberty he would put the
woman under the sod Bennett had
made two attempts before to kill his
wife
He was charged with assault with in
tent to commit murder, but for some
reason the jury brought in a verdict
of assault with a deadly weapon only.
When the jurors returned with the
verdict Judge Wallace criticised them
for rendering verdict for the lesser
olfense, for which the maximum pen
atty does not exceed two years in
prison. The Judge, in imposing SEN
tence on Bennett, severely scored the
prisoner, and said:
You have been charged with one of
the highest offenses known to the law,
that of assaulting woman, and that
woman your wife. The evidence intro
duced here plainly showed that it was
your intention to commit murder, and
the testimony was of a character to
warrant a verdict of assault to mur-
der The jury, however, for some un-
eXplainable reason, found you guilty of
assault with a deadly weapon only. I
will take occasion to say that the court
becomes more convinced every day that
our jury system is wrong and ought to
be abolished
The maximum punishment for the
cfrense of which you have been ad-
judged guilty is two years, and it is
fortunate for you that it is thus limited,
for you certainly deserve a greater
punishment, and were it in the power
of the court to punish you more Sc
verely, 1t would be DONE
The Judge then sentenced him to
two years at San Quentin. 1t is not
likely that Bennett will be paroled.

DOING HUMANITARIAN WORK
THE CHILDREN'S SOCIETY Is
VIGILANT.
A Waif Restored to the Founding
Home-Rescue Of q Lit
tie Boy.

| Officer Dan Healy of the Children's
Society has returned from northern
county with an infant which he recov-
| cred from a woman who had procured
| it from the Founding Home in this
| city by falsely representing herself as
| a person Of wealth who desired to adopt
| a child.
| Healy had learned that the woman
| was not what she had represented her
! self to be, and obtained from the Pres
ident Of the Founding Home Directors
an order to recover the infant. He
took his wife with him to care for the
little one, and last evening restored it
to the matron of the home.
Some weeks ago officer Healy heard
Of man Of poverty stricken appear
ance travelling through the country on
foot wheeling a three-year- ar-old boy in a
hand-wagon. The man never asked
aims, but his pitiful appearance drew
him donations, always for the child,
which was miserably clad.
Healy was unable to find the man
here, but while he was at Adams
Springs recently the fellow wheeled his
charge into that place. 1t was found
that he had been making the rounds of
ShS' W NAeSA Ing PASlNSo, 1NCl IlCIC AC~CiN
ing aims. He had tramped with the
boy from Arizona, and his story was
that he had stolen the child from his
divorced wife; that it was his boy, and
that he had been cruelty used by the
child's mother.
AT Lakeport he was mistaken for an
other advertised kidnaper, and spent
five days in the County Jail until the
mistake was discovered. Healy was
convinced the child should not be carted
about the country in that manner, and
by persuasion and threat induced the
man to come back to Sacramento.
While at the springs Mrs Hugo Horn
lein of this city was so moved with
pity for the boy that she raised a purse
with which Healy bought the child an
outfit of clothing.
Arriving in this city Healy worked on
the man to return to his brother in
Kansas City, the fellow confessing that
he had money in plenty, and showing
some $500 in gold. Finally last Thurs
day the officer further worked on the
man sufficiently to induce him to buy
tickets for Kansas City He furnished
him some decent clothing to help him
out, and the other day saw the man
on board the cars and ticketed for
Missouri.

are to come together in this city on
Thursday night under the management
of the Sacramento Athletic Club. They
seem to agree that the club has made
a very happy hit in securing sucn a
match.
Local interest in the match is such
that a large attendance seems to be as
sured, and the club managers are con-
fident that all who witness the battle
will be satisfied. Muller defeated klc
Parker in eight rounds, and twice de-
feated the clever Charley Rocnette

two Japs near Brighton some weeks

issue Detective Fisher had worked UP
such a strong chain of evidence against
the men that they had promised to
plead guilty and made written confes-
sions of their guilt. He is confident,
however, that Sheriff Johnson Will soon

140 pounds; medium complexion long
features, with powder marks about the

being manned. His left thumb is OFT
close to the hand. The left middle fin
ger is gone, also the tips of the re-
naming fingers on the left hand. He
has India ink cross on outer left fore
arm, and a dot, heart, arrow, wreath
and spray on right forearm. He has a
scar on left corner of his upper lip,
which is now partly hidden by a very
small dark mustache.
Taylor is five feet seven inches TALL
"A years old and weighs about 12o
pounds. He is of medium complexion.
w
brown eyes and is slightly stoop-s -shoul
dered; has India ink and other de-
signs, with an incomplete bracelet

and anchor, or similar design, on the
back of both hands toward the thumbs.
He uses opium A reward of $50 is Of
fered by Sheriff Johnson for the cap
ture of either of the men.

and Burke, who was arrested in San
Francisco on Saturday. He also Sc
cured from Rolf a written confession,
as follows:
