The Uxoricide Stolidly Hears His

Folsom Penitentiary

John F. Barthelman, who was sentenced

Smith to be hanged by the neck until dead.

of his wife, went again through the dread
full ordeal of having his life declared for

superior court.
The prisoner was returned from Folsom
to Los Angeles yesterday morning by Dep

never learned that his appeal had been re-
jected until he reached the county jail.
Barthelman's appearance does not indicate
that he has undergone any mental suffer-
Ing during his long detention. He is fat
and healthy. He wore good clothing, was
clean shaven, with the exception of
flowing mustache, and there was nothing
about the cut of his hair to indicate his
sojourn in a state prison. A few wrinkles
in the corners of his eyes alone showed
that time flies with prisoners as we'll as
with men who are free. Frank Davis, the

BARTHELMAN HEARING HIS DOOM

prisoners life at his trial more than a
year ago, sat by the side of his client.
Upon motion of Deputy District Attor-
ney McComas, Barthelman was called to
the bar when court convened. The judge
briefly reviewed the proceedings formerly
had in the case and asked the prisoner if
he had any legal cause why he should not
be resentenced. Barthelman screwed up
his eyebrows in a half hestating way,
shook his head stolidly and mumbled mo-"
almost inaudibly
"Then." went on the judge, 'it is the
sentence of this court that within ten days
from today the sheriff of Los Angeles re-
turn you to the custody of the warden OF
the state prison al Folsom, and that on.the
18th of May 1885, the latter carry into ef-
feet the judgment of this court. That is ALL
Mr. Barthelman."
The doomed man was Immediately re-
moved from the court room and in less than
an hour he was on his way back to Folsom
this time in the custody of Deputy Sheriff
White.

IT FELL THROUGH
Darling's Scheme to Keep Out of the
Penitentiary Meets With Defeat

The scheme to save Frank o. Darling from
the pententiary by encompassing his mar
riage with Eva Tredinick. the girl whom
he wronged on Thanksgiving day after
eloping with her from Cotton, has fallen
through.
1t seems that all the efforts made up 10
now by the various attorneys who have
been connected with the case have been
undertaken without the consent Of the
Tredinicks themselves. A few days ago
Judge Smith reset the case, which should
have been tried yesterday, for April 9Th
at the request of Assistant District Attor
ney Williams and Lawyer Peck, and re-
duced the prisoners bond to the sum of
$1,000, which he believed he could furnish
1t has however, not yet been given. The
implied idea in this transaction was that
Darling having secured divorce from his
former wife, who lives in the east, should
take Eva to Yuma or some other point
without the jurisdiction of the state and
marry her.
But all these schemes lacked one essen
tial. They We're unknown to Mrs. Tredin-
ick and her daughter. Not having been
advised of the continuance of the trial they
presented themselves with the witnesses
for the prosecution in Department one yes
terday and were astonished to learn of the
dispositions made.
Miss Eva has grown considerably since
her last advent in Justice Young's court
and wears now long dresses. She would
easily be mistaken for a girl of 20. The
mother and the two daughters are all
handsome enough to be mistaken for the
three graces.
After explanations had been made all
round the court admonished all witnesses
10 return on the 9Th of next month, when
the trial will undoubtedly take place unless
Darling gets out on bail and can induce
