HELD TC ANSWER,
Lingen May Plead Guilty in the
SuDeriOr Court

The preliminary examination of AL
fred Lingen, alias Hoffman" charged
with burglary, was held in the City
Justice Court yesterday morning, and
resulted in his being held to answer,
bail being fixed in the sum of 5000.
About a week ago Lingen, or "Hoff-
man." entered the basement of Wv. H
Jones house at 2204 ] street, and was
captured by Mr.. Jones and held until
the patrol wagon arrived.
Subsequent to his arrest it was learn
ed that he was only recently released
from San Quentin Prison, where he
served year for n burglary committed
in San BenitO County. y prior convic-
ton was accordingly offered in evil
dence yesterday, and was admitted.
Linsen expressed a desire to enter a
plea of guilty to the charge and will
probably pursue that course when
taken before the Superior Court

HILL MUST HANG.
Governor Budd Refuses to Com
mute HIS Sentence.

mute f23S Sentence.
Benjamin L. Hill, the Oakland wife
murderer, will be hanged at the San
Quentin State Prison to-day
Governor Budd yesterday notified his
private Secretary, Peter j. Shields tina.
he had decided to refuse to interfere in
the execution of the sentence of the
court, and that it would be carried out
on the date fixed-April 9th
Benjamin l.. Hill shot and killed his
wife on a street in Oakland in Janu-
airy. 1885. He was tried, convicted, and
sentenced to be hanged. The case was
taken to the Supreme Court and the
findings and judgment of the trial court
were affirmed.
A powerful influence was brought to
bear to secure Communication of Hills
sentence to life imprisonment. and an
application for Communication was heard
by Lieutenant Governor Jeter, acting
as Governor during Governor Budd's
absence from the State. Jeter, after
due deliberation, declined to interfere.
In the mean time the case had been
carried to the United States Supreme
Court, and Governor Budd was forced
to grant a reprieve. The Supreme
Court affirmed the decisions of the
State courts, and Hill was remanded
for execution
Still another attempt was made by
the friends of Hill, and ten days ago
a deputation, headed by w. w Foote,
had audience with the Governor and
advanced every conceivable argument
for communication of sentence
The Governor took the matter under
Amusement, and only yesterday an
nounced his decision in the matter, the
result of which is, as heretofore stated
that Hill will hang to-day
