DI FRANCHI'S DEATH
Deprives the Mafa of a. Valued
Agent

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.-Francisco D;
Franchi, who was shot dead by Antonio
Rosso after saloon quarrel on Sunday night,
is said to have been agent of the murderous
La Malta Society. 1t is said that Domenico
Pari dreaded death at Di Franchi's hands.
The latter had pursued him from New Or
leans to Chicago and thence here. Pari left
San Francisco last July before Di Franchi
arrived. He is in Chicago and is expected
back here now that his enemy is dead.
Di Franchi, it is said, left San Francisco
eight years ago after serving sentence for
assault on a woman. In New Orleans he
fought with Francisco Scantrino and the
latter shot him in the leg. In New Or.
leans Di Franchi figured it is said, in the
Malta murders which eliminated in the kill
ing OF Chief OF Police Henessy and the lynch
ing of several Italian suspects.
In Denver Di Franchi came in conflict with
the police and was expelled lie then wan.
dered to this city where he met his death.

.sHop" in the Swim.

A KIondike correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle gives quite a men
ton to Ed. Hopkins, formerly prOprie-
tor of the Arlington Billiard Parlors
here and before that a police captain.
Hop has a saloon at Rampant City.
The Chronicle man speaks Of Hop as
making cocktails for all corners and
using a native liquor, condensed milk
and concentrated eggs. 1t is aston
fishing that a Chronicle man should fall
into the error of saying that milk and
eggs are used in cocktails on the Klon-
dixie or elsewhere. They don't make
them that way even in Sydney. The
correspondent indicates that Hop is
doing well, probability which will be
at once accredited here. ''Hop" may be
depended upon to introduce many in
novations in Rampant City, but there
are too many Americans up there for
him to be serving makeshift egg nogg
as the Washington appetizer.

GETS new TRIAL
Ruling for a Man in Prison
Since August, 1897.
Opinion on the Matter of Evidence.
Cross Examination Privileges.
Decision BY Justice Whiting.

Associate Justice Whiting is the
author of a unanimous decision of the
Supreme Court that records here new
opinion on the matter Of evidence.
This is the syllabus:
Subject to the Constitutional priv
iIege of a witness to refuse to answer
questions, the answers to which may
tend TO criminate him, he may be
cross-examined with reference to his
past life, if such matters tend to weak
en- his credibility, though they might
tend to criminate, disgrace or degrade
the witness.
THE extent to which disparaging
questions, not relevant TO the issue,
may be put on cross-examination, is
discretionary with the trial court, and
it's rulings are not subject to review,
unless it appears that the discretion
was abused"
The case is that of Henry Luning, a
boy now serving sentence in Oahu
prison and new trial is ordered, thus
overruling the Circuit Court. The
chief witness for the State had been
a party to the crime committed by
Luning On examination this
witness was asked where he had Sc
cured money which he stated had been
in his possession and was enjOined to
tell the truth His reply was that
he had stolen the cash. He was then
questioned along a line that might be
said to presume him to be an habitual
chief There was objection and the
Presiding Judge would not permit the
question In the course of the cross
examination there was one other in-
stance of the same sort. The Supreme
Court holds that the Trial Judge
should have, under the circumstances
as they appear in the record, allowed
these inquiries. 1t is cited that wit
ness should come into Court prepared
to defend an assault of an ordinary
character against his credibility. 1t
is further argued or shown that past
life" is an important consideration in
establishment of the worth of testimO-
ny given by any witness. Luning's at
torneys were J. A. Magoon and r. D.
Silliman Deputy ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Dole appeared for the Government.
Luning has been in prison since Aug. Z,
1897. He was sentenced by Judge Car
ter to serve three years at hard labor
and has been in one Of the road gangs
ever since. Luning is a mere boy in
years, but is of good size and is strong
and healthy. He has a mother and
brother in town.
