SALTER D. WORDEN
 WILL NOT HANG
MEDICAL EXPERTS REPORT
 THAT HE IS INSANE.
Governor Budd Says He Will Accept
 the Report of Scientists and Commute the Sentence.

The commission appointed by Governor Budd to investigate the mental condition of Salter D. Worden has found after an examination of the evidence that Worden has an inherited predisposition to insan- ity and that he comes from what doc tors call homeopathic stock. Governor Budd says he will commute the prisoner S sentence to life Imprisonment.
 The commission having duly considered the manifest intelligence, high standing and sincerity of the persons from whom the above evidence has been obtained, ac- cepts these statements as true and holds that the legitimate conclusion is that Worden was insane and irresponsible when the crime of which he has been convicted was committed.
 The report ends as follows: Your com mission would recommend, in view of the foregoing evidence, and the conclusions deduced therefrom, that the sentence of death should be commuted to that of imprisonment for life; and further, that owing to the dangerous form of insanity from which Salter D. Worden is suffer ing, the welfare of society in general and the welfare of this diseased and unfor- tunate individual demands that he should be continuously imprisoned during the re- maining years of his life:
 ASA CLARK,
 Medical Superintendent Stockton State "F W. HATCH,
 General Superintendent California state Hospitals.
 A NJ GARDNER,
 Medical Superintendent Napa State Hospital"
 'I shall probably act favorably upon the report that has been filed in regard to the mental condition of Salter Worden.' .'' said Governor Budd yesterday afternoon, "and any further than that I shall not discuss the matter to-day.
 The report saves the life of the train wrecker It says in substance that Wor- den's mental condition Is such that 1t would be unjust to execute the death pen alty, and therefore life Imprisonment is recommended.
 Dr. Gardner of the Napa Insane Asylum, who recently returned from the East, collected mass of evidence in the shape of letters and affidavits from the relatives and acquaintances of Worden living in Syracuse, N. Y, his former home, and immediate vicinity. This evi- dence he turned over to Dr. Clark of the Stockton Asylum, and pr. Hatch, State Commissioner of Lunacy and general su- perintendent of the State hospitals, and the report saving Worden's neck was the TpSnlf

At the Alcazar.

"A Celebrated Case" has apparently lost none of it's attraction, as the Alcazar was crowded last night at it's initial pro- duction by MT. Lewis Morrison and Miss Florence Roberts, assisted by the stock company The performance was an even one throughout and the different char acters were ably sustained. As Lazure in the prologue and Count de Mornay in the play Mr. Morrison showed an excellence of contrast between the coarse and brutal murderer and the polished villain that was marked and striking. Miss Roberts made a most favorable impression as Adrienne and at the end of the second act of the play received curtain call and two splendid floral pieces. Miss Gertrude Foster as Madeline Renaud and Valen- tine de Mornay had an opportunity of dis tinguishing herself and she did not neglect it. She was particularly effective in the third act of the play when sne dis covers the identity of the necklace. Wright Huntington did well as Jean Renaud the gallant soldier and galley slave. but in his excitement at the close of the play he made faux pas by using the word wife instead of daughter. {" which caused a ripple of laughter. Wal lace Shaw made a hit as the Irish ser geant and Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Adele Clark. Clarence Montafne and Frank Denithorne sustained their parts creditably. Little Hazel Purdy deserves word of praise The play was well mounted.

D. w. le Lacheur the superintendent of the alliance mis- sionaries in China, followed pr. Simpson, speaking in the same line. He called the attention of the congregation to the great field open for missionaries In the Philip pine Islands, which have hitherto been closed to Christian workers. At the con cluson of his discourse volunteers were called for who were willing to go to Ma nila and engage In the missionary work, and a number signifed their intention of offering their services

Grand Opera-House.

Under the Polar Star was the at- traction at the Grand Opera-house last night. It was an elaborate scenic pro- duction and more than pleased the big audience that witnessed it. There were several recalls during the evening and the play was so well received that standing room only" should be the notice during the remainder of the week.
 Max Von Mtzel as Silas Rodman. pro- jector and patron of the Rodman Arctic research expedition, and George P. Web ster as pr. Achille Rabon, the scientist of the expedition, were particularly good. while Fred J. Butler as Alexas. the Si- berian guide and hunter, won the hearts of many in the audience. Maud Edna Hall and Landers Stevens sustained their roles well and the remainder of the cast was acceptable. Under the Polar Star was well mounted and staged and was under the direction of H. Percy Meldon.

 Apparent Reason.

Frank McCabe of the firm of R. F. Me Cabe. photo-engravers, took a dose of cy- anide of potassium at about o'clock last night and died few hours later.

 SAN FRANCISCO, June g, 1898. DR. PIERCE & SON-Gentle- men: Last October, while at Fort Bliss, Fl Paso, Texas, I sent for one of your famous "Dr. Pierce's s Electric Belts" for Rheumatism, etc., and after using it only two months my complaints entirely disappeared and I have not been troubled with any pain or discom- fort since. I consider your Belt to be the finest body-battery in exist ence, as the electric current is both powerful and lasting. I pur- chased your No. XXX Belt and now, after using it several months, it is as good as new.
 I heartily recommend Dr. Pierce's Electric Belt to all suffer- CTS. Yours gratefully,

WAS DUE TO MORPHINE
Inquest Held on the Body of
Frank Harville.
ALONE AND FRIENDLESS
He Was an Unfortunate Victim of the
Deadly Habit-The Coroner and the
Jury Investigated All the
Fact in the Case.

Coroner Tremblay held an inquest at
Richards undertaking rooms yester-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock on the body
OF Frank Harville, the unfortunate VIC
tim Of disease and morphine. who died
alone and friendless in a cabin in the
vicinity Of the Ophir mine Tuesday
morning. The jury returned a verdict
that death was due to the excessive
use of morphine.
Charles w. Lane testified that he had
known Harville three or four years.
He had lived in the cabin in which he
died the most of that time, n a
suffered from a chronic disease con-
stantly. This made him unabl to do
any but a little work of light charac-
ter. For h past year he had k
morphine, for relief at first. and then
became a fiend. From the character of
the mans complaint. he was compelled
to sleep sitting, and he had only been
able to sleep lying down a short time
since witness knew him. From the
condition he was in. MIR. Lane could
not understand how he lived as long
as he did. The deceased was willing to
Work. Dul Simply COulu not.
Albert Hartzell. driver of a milk
g for G. +. Lloyd, said he deliv-
cred milk to Harville. The man was
i'm a very bad condition and milk was
about the only food he was able TO
take. Harville was accustomed to come
out to the wagon for his milk. but he
did not come Sunday or Monday, and
on Tuesday the witness decided to go
in the cabin and see VIA was the
matter. He found Harville dead, sit
ting on a chair and leaning his head on
the bed.
Richard Maloney. living in the near
vicinityof the Ophir mine. a he saw
Harville about 8 O'Clock the evening
before he died. Haryille was standing
by the door of the hoist and had a quilt
wrapped around him. He sale he was
very cold and had had three chills.
Witness said he went and carried in
wood and built a fire. He asked If he
should get the sick nan anything to
eat. and he replied no, he only wanted
some milk. The milk was brought and
wood enough left to keep up fire all
night, and witness left. The next
morning the witness was told the man
was dead. He had failed very rapidly
the past two or three weeks.
Horace Il. Cain. who also lives in the
vicinity of the Ophir mine, said he
knew Harville to be in a very bad con-
dition and had been nable to do any
work for two or three years. He was
a painter and would take jobs, but was
never able to do any work. as he could
only keep at il about 20 minutes at a
time. The witness knew the deceased
to be a victim Of the morphine habit.
James larry of 725 South Dakota
street was present when the corpse was
removed from the cabin, but was un-
able to throw any light on the cause
of death.
