JOHN SCOTS DEATH.
Oscar Henley Now on Trial for
Manslaughter.

Considerable progress was made yes
terday in the trial of Oscar Henley,
charged with manslaughter, growing
out of the death of John Scott some
months ago. The jury is composed Of
the following named citizens: William
Vogt, A. T. HOgeboom, Frank Waters,
E. Bayer, Patrick Kelly, George Cowles.
Thomas Harper, John Klees, Patrick
McInerrey, F. J. Lewis, P. Burns and
p. Newman.
Charles T. Jones and William Henley
appear for the defense, and District At
torney Ryan is conducting the prosecu-
tion.
The testimony introduced yesterday
was substantially the same as that
given at the preliminary examination.
Some witnesses testified that Henley
showed or pushed the deceased and that
the latter fell on the cement sidewalk,
while there was also testimony to the
effect that Henley struck Scott and
knocked him down.
The trouble between Scott and Hen
ley was of a trivial nature, and the
defense contend that there was no effort
made by the accused to inflict serious
injury on the deceased.

he ROBBED HIS BEkEFACTOR.
HOW A CONFIDENCE MAN DID
UP J. D. SPEECH.
Shared the Latter's Room and
Earnings and Then Robbed
Him Of Everything.

One of the blackest cases of ingrat-
itude that has come to light in this
city for many day was made public
yesterday morning. John D. Speich,
a blacksmith employed at the railroad
shops, is over $500 poorer than he was
before he befriended an alleged work
man who represented that he was down
on his luck.
On Friday last John Bridler, better
known as 'Frenchy," arrived in this
city, and hunting up Speich he told
him a hard-luck story. He saidl ne
was just from San Jose, where he had
trouble with his employer, and that
some OF the workmen had referred him
to Speich, in this city, as being a man
who would probably assist him until
he could find employment.
Speieh opened his heart to a fellow
mortal in distress, and told him that
while he was short of ready cash. he
would share his room with him and
advance him money to purchase meal
tickets until he should find employment,
and would also assist him to get work.
Speich accordingly installed "Fren-
chy'' in his room at 20715 street, and
advanced him 81 with which to buy
a meal ticket When he went to work
at noon on Tuesday he told "Frenchy"
or Bridler, that he would the next
morning advance him another dollar.
but that as he had only So go in cash
left they would have to sail close to
the wind, and that he would have to
hustle around and find employment as
soon as possible
Speich left his fellow-lodger in his
room when he went to work, but when
he returned on Tuesday evening
change had taken place. The room
had been literally turned inside out, and
'Frenchy' had disappeared.
Speich took an inventory Of his eff
fects and found that Bridler had
showed his gratitude for the Christian
treatment he had received by decamp
ing with new suit of clothes, includ-
ing hat and shoes, a solid gold watch
with Elgin movement, solid gold
double breasted chain (given to Speich
by his mOther), square gold locket
set with a diamond and engraved with
the letetrs u. D. S. three gold rings,
and a certificate Of deposit on the Ma
tional Bank of d. O. Mills & Co., for
$50, also the So 60 in small change he
had spoken Of and which he had left
in the room. The thief was considerate
enough not to take the bedstead.
subsequently Speich found that his
lodger had. after looting his room sold
an overcoat TO the proprietor of sa-
loon on K street, between Second and
Third, for dollar, representing that
he was employed on the Haggin ranch.
few minutes afterwards he borrowed
the coat to wear to the ranch, giving
as a reason that the nights were chilly.
Speich yesterday notified the bank of
the theft, and payment was ordered
stopped. 1t is feared, however that
the thief will dispose of the certificate
at some small town and get an advance
on it. There seems to be no trace of
the missing man.

P. A. STRONG ESTATE.
Supreme Court Says It Must be Ad-
ninistered On.

The Supreme Court has reversed the
order CT Department Two of the Su-
perior Court of this county in the mat
ter Of the estate of p. A. Strong, who
died at Calf in 1890. Strong left a
small estate on which there was no ad-
ministration up to 1896, when Public
Administrator Miller learned the facts
and applied to the court for authority
to administer on it.
This petition was opposed by Mrs
Fowler and her brothers and sister, who
claimed that the estate did not require
the services of an administrator, and
Judge Johnson so decided. Miller had
expended some money on the estate, so
he appealed to the Supreme Court from
the order referred to.
The Supreme Court decides that the
estate should go through the regular
process of administration which will
enable Mr.. Millers widow to put in a
claim for such sums as her husband
expended.
Mrs. Fowler is the woman known as
Mrs. Tunnel, who was concerned to
some extent in the Rev. c. 0. Brown
scandal. She was the bosom friend of
Matte Overman.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening Jolly" Nelly McTIenry will be
seen in H. Grattan Donnellys latest
farce-comedy, "A Night in New York"
She is too well known to theater- goers
here to need an introduction or any
words to add to her popularity among
lovers of roaring comedy. We are told
that "A Night in New York expresses
the entire plot. 1t is an outgrowth of
the current craze of New York plays,
and in it Miss McHenry will play
dual role, that of the Peerless Peri, the
Queen of the Vaudevilles, who, having
met with series of artistic triumphs
at home and abroad, goes UP into Maine
to recuperate, there assuming the role
of Miss Henrietta, a quiet, demure
country maid. While there she is wooed
and won by Willoughby Still, who has
no idea that she is the Peerless Peri,
and the marriage is arranged to take
place in New York City The first act
shows the reception room in the Hotel
rUniversalle. Here Willoughby meets

having kilograms sent to themselves
summoning them to Philadelphia and
Boston, respectively Mile. Henrietta
induces Mrs. Harlem to go to the French
ball, thinking that their intended hus-
bands are out of the city. The second
act shows US Madison-square Garden,
brilliantly Illuminated, with the Frencn
ball at its hight, and is full Of life, color
and animation. The four engaged per-
sons attend the ball, and of course are
found out. The identity of each is re-
vealed, and the conditions surrounding
their discoveries are extremely ludi-
crous. The third act is the morning af-
ter the ball in Nevada flats, where the
complications take an uproariously fun
ny shape, as the Peerless Peri assumes
the character and dress of her French
maid Miss McHenry Is the life of the
company, but her clever assistants

A GLASS TOO MANY.
It Caused the Victim to Shiver a

About o'clock yesterday morning
a belated individual who had, it is said,
looked too long on the redness of the
wine, stuck his cane through the large
plate-giass window in the Fabian
building, on the southwest corner of
Ninth and ] streets.
There We're a number of witnesses to
the act, and while one story is that
the man staggered against the win
dow, accidentally thrusting his cane
through the glass, another is that he
deliberately walked up and after tap
ping several times, struck a hard blow
which shiyered the glass.
All the stories agree that the man
took to his heels and made his escape
after the glass was broken.
