Schlesinger was then Assistant United States District Attorney and had proved himself q stanch friend of the helpless woman on previous occasion. He counseled her to return to her duties
 Mrs. Pickens says that last Monday, the day The Call first narrated Moore's mis- oeeds,@a a reporter on one of the morning papers, who is on exceedingly friendly terms with Moore, abused her roundly for having charges preferred against the major and sought to browbeat her into admitting them untrue. She would not be intimidated, however. Though driven from Moore's office Mrs. Pickens will not ---s---, 1v= friends have already secured her better position.
 Since The Calls exposure of Major Moore innumerable stories of his miscon- duct are in circulation.
 Around the Custom House, the em- ployes, without exception, say there was nothing too mean for the major to stoop to, and one story told on Sam Ruddell, former deputy collector under w. D. Eng fish, fairly illustrated the kind of man Moore is. The story is true in every par ticular. On one occasion Moore insisted that Ruddell become his guest at lunch. On the way up the street Ruddell asked Moore in to have an appetizer, and the deputy took cocktail At the restau- rant the major requested Ruddell to order sprigs. When the fowls were finally served Ruddell ordered a small bottle of Burgundy, while the major called for a lemonade sweet.
 Luncheon disposed of, Major Moore arose from his seat without taking the corrected. Not only that. but Sam later bought the cigars for the two.

John OConnor, laborer, 60 years old, committed suicide yesterday afternoon in such a manner as to warrant the belief that he was insane. He walked from his drug store and purchased quantity of carbolic acid. Then he walked across the street halted on the sidewalk for a me- ment. swallowed the corrosive poison aid fell to the sidewalk, expiring almost i'm mediately.

The Young Lady Is on Her Way From Germany
 to This City.
She Will Furnish Funds for a Viz OrouS Prosecution of Her
 Brothers Slayer.

A determined effort will be made by the sisters of the late William Mentel to bring about the conviction of the woman who shot him in Alameda last Thursday evening. The Mentels are members of an old, wealthy family in Germany from which will come funds that will material ly assist in the prosecution of the dead mans wife. Immediately after the trag- edy a cablegram was sent to Miss Minnie Mentel in Hamburg conveying in a mini mum of words the sad intelligence of her brothers death. Minnie was his favorite sister, and the news that throbbed over land and under sea almost prostrated her. But she immediately cabled back that she would start as soon as possible for San Francisco. In all probability she would be accompanied by her uncle, a wealthy retired merchant of Hamburg. His name is Louis Koch, a relative of the celebrated Dr. Koch, a consumption specialist of several years ago. Being a widower and childless he adopted Minnie, making her the principal heiress-presumptive of his property. It is his intention to assist fin ancialIy in the prosecution of his nephew's s slayer.
 The friends of the deceased, of whom he appears to have had a large number in this city, are gathering evidence tend ing to establish the fact that it was all most morally and physically impossible that Mentel could have abused or even threatened to do his wife bodily harm. He is said to have been as gentle as a lamb and as timid as a schoolgirl. 1t is claimed that his wife drove him into mat rimony with a revolver, and held that potent weapon over his head till the day she shot him with it.
 Prominent among those who make this statement is John Dixon, 106 Powell street, who was the most intimate friend of the deceased. He loaned Mentel money for fares to San Jose, whither the couple went to be married, and he was the last acquaintance to speak to the pair when they started for Alameda on that fatal Thursday afternoon. MT. Dixon will state on the witness stand that Mrs. Men tel, moved by her fierce and unreasonable jealousy, menaced her husband with her revolver till the timid fellow was in dead ly fear for his life.
 Dr. Connor, 6O2 Sutter street, stated that a week after the marriage Mentel came to his office for safety. It was about O clock in the evening, and the young man was frightened almost out of his few wits. His wife was after him, he sad. and would shoot him on sight. Presently they saw from the doctors office window a female, her form enveloped in a dark

kin, accused of murdering Mary Elizabeth Cunning, were secured yesterday in Judge Carroll Cooks court Nine of these were sworn in before the noon recess. In all probability the jury will be completed at this mornings session, and, after the opening statement by Assistant District Attorney Hosmer, the taking of testi- mony will begin thsi afternoon.
 The personnel of the jury as far as se- lected is a guarantee that Mrs. Botkin will secure a fair and impartial trial and that justice, based upon testimony, will be given her. Few juries are composed of as representative men as those who have

given their oaths to perform their duty in this case.
 The proceedings yesterday, while wholly formal, were watched intently by the large crowd which filled the court room. The appearance of John P. Cunning, with Chief Lees, soon after court opened, sent a thrill of expectancy through the audi ence, all of whom expected a highly dra- matic scene when he came face to face with his former paramour, whom he now accuses of murdering his wife. Both the principals in this tragic trial were pre- pared for this ordeal which was sure to come, and they suppressed all manifesto tion of the turbid feelings which must have surged within them. But the great CT. strain is impending. When Dunning takes the witness stand and tells under oath all the salacious details of. his rela- tions with the defendant it will be strange, indeed if a scene seldom wit messed in a court room is not enacted
 Ex-Congressman Pennington, father of the murdered woman, was also an inter- esting and interested spectator at the trial yesterday. He could not

Her mother is an almost daily caller at the prison. and spends hours with her daughter Her father has also visited the prisoner several times.
 Although she has been formally charged with murder, no day has been set for her The fact that the Coroners jury did not charge Mrs. Mentel with the crime is regarded as significant as it will doubtless be used by her counsel to try to secure her discharge at the preliminary examination
