JIM C0RBETT SAYS
 SHARkEY WILL WIN
Coy Will Give Him the Battle of His Life

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Jim Corbett tips Tom Sharkey as the winner over Mccoy in their fight January 10. When asked to give his opinion, Corbett said: "Sharkey will win. of course. He ought to put Mccoy to sleep before the twentieth round Is reached" Corbett said he would be at the fight.
 Mccoy Is still a slight favorite in the betting at 100 to 90. and unless something unforeseen happens he will remain at these odds up to the time the men begin their fight. Mccoy is visited every day by sporting men from this city, and if their statements of the Kids condition are true, 1t certainly looks as if he stands a chance of defeating Sharkey. The latter, however. Is not bit worried over the glowing reports he hears of McCoy's condition, and says he feels as confident of getting the decision as Mccoy does Sharkey. in speaking about his chance of winning from Mccoy. said: "I feel pretty sure that I will beat Mccoy, but 1 don't expect to do 1t before going through the hardest fight I have experienced. Mccoy I consider a great fighter, and as I re- gard him as being better fighter than Corbett I am sure he will make me fight the battle of my life before finally beat him.
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-30

1t was a confession it was not consistent with the case. He claimed that there had been a tampering with and a manu facture of evidence in the case. A dis cussion of the testimony was then com menced and doubt was cast upon all pre- sented by the prosecution. He doubted whether the candy box had ever gone through the mail-from it's unbroken ap- pearance he did not believe it had. He said Postmaster Goodin did not know it went through the mail because he did not lift 1t out of the mail sack himself He spoke of Chief Lees as "Ah Lee engaged in ironing out the wrapper and thus ef- fectually removing the evidences that would show whether 1t had ever been wrapped around another box"
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-30

McGowan had again reached the candy box on his rounds, and attacked 1t with his old vigor. Later on he ridiculed the detectives who had examined Mrs. Bot kins room and found no evidence. Later Rosella found the bit of pasteboard. "A detective who could not find that seal,'' he said, 'could not catch an afternoon train if he had a schedule In his hand '' Discussing Mrs. Harris, the saleswoman of the City of Paris, he quoted. 70, what tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive"
 When he finally came to the matter of expert testimony, Attorney Hosmer ob- jected to his reading from a law book to the jury. Judge Cook told him the jury must take its law from the Judge and not from the attorney He quoted from the testimony where Ames said ''the note in the candy box was most clearly dis guised; it is drawn, not written, and the letters are distorted.' Expert Eisen- schimmel had said: There are no dis guises in 1t whatever. It represents the natural handwriting of defendant, the only change being in the slant of the letters" He asked the jury not to take a human life on matter of handwriting; it was too frivolous a preteXt.
 In closing he asked the jury not to cast stain on the fair name of the ac- cused woman's family (Brown). He warned them of the terrible penalty of their taking an innocent life and to spare the fair name of the State from an unjust verdict: to decide in the light of the evil dence as sanctioned by the law, which was founded on justice.
 MT. Hosmer will make the closing argu- ment for the prosecution to-day.
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-30

tereStS Of the people-such assurances be- ing made both privately and publicly were made in good faith and would be carried out. Whatever course this paper or its proprietor has taken with reference to the matter that forms the subject of this and previous articles has been done for the sole purpose of preventing MT. Gage from violating his ante-election pledges and making the mistake that put a Smirch. upon the closing days of Gov ernor Markham's administration.
 The people of San Francisco gave Gov ernor Budd a majority of about 12,0Oo votes. They gave Mir. Gage majority of about 4000. Under his proposed leadership the city changed from a Democratic com munity to a Republican community. This fact alone should entitle it's people to very thoughtful and careful consideration at his hands.
 When Governor Markham appointed Moses Gunst Police Commissioner mass meetings composed of the best and most highly respected business men, capitalists and wage earners of this city were held to protest against the insult that had been
 put upon the people of San Francisco.
 Unfortunately the law was so construed as to render these protests futile. NOW there is a possibility that circumstances
 will permit of the retirement of MT. Gunst to the society of the associates from which he was elevated at the re- quest of Dan Burns Governor-elect Gage steps forward, again at the request of Dan Burns, and proposes to prevent the retirement.
 Is this the way MT. Gage proposes to keep his ante-election promises? Is this
 the manner in which MT. Gage intends to
 reply to the people of San Francisco for | supporting him so handsomely at the 1 polls on election day?
 1 During the campaign ano since NIT. ! Gage asserted that he woul not be dominated by any person. newspaper or 1 corporation. Now that he is put to the
 test is he going to permit himself to be dominated by the person or persons who wish to retain MT. Gunst in office? | The Call does not ask of MT Gage that 1t be allowed to dictate who shall or shall not be appointed Police Commissioner for San Francisco. It does propose, however. that the people of this city shall be made aware of the manner In which their inter- ests are being considered by the chief executive of the State, and it reserves for itself the right to criticize his acts and to adopt such measures as 1t deems neces- sary to reveal his motives and make them plain. if it so be that there is good ground for believing that such motives are not for the best interests of the city.
