PANORAMA OF
THE INCOMING

All San Francisco that was not on the
bay yesterday afternoon was gathered on
the heights and shores overlooking that
beautiful expanse of water, bent upon
sating it's appetite with the grand spec
tacle of welcome to the returning Cali
fornia volunteers.
There she comes See her masts."
She's coming in"
The warning injunctions, delivered in
excited tones by hundreds of watchful
lookouts armed with marine glasses and
telescopes, suddenly recalled the pa
tiently waiting thousands thronging the
heights and hills overlooking the waters
of the bay from their admiring contem-
plation of the maneuvering steamers and
yachts composing the reception fleet, and
directed their gaze once more toward the
Golden Gate. A slight haze hung over

Despite these slight jars, which were
hardly noticed by the people keeping their

triumph worthy of the occasion, equally

ASKS DISCHARGE
Counsel Says Messrs. Noonan
and Simpson Should Be
Freed From the -four
nal" Indictment.

The application to the Oyer and Terms
iner Court to discharge Joseph NJ Noonan
on his own recognizance in the matter
of the indictment against Mr.. Noonan
and Alexander Simpson for conspiracy
was made this afternoon by former Judge
Thomas F. Noonan. He said that the
indi nent had been found in the Deeem-
Der term of 1897 and the defendants were
tried in the same term. Two terms Of
court have elapsed since that time ana
the Prosecutor has not moved the case.
Under the circumstances, and under the
law, Judge Noonan claimed that his
client was entitled to be discharged from
his bail and to have date for trial fixed
by the court.
Prosecutor Erwin in reply said:-sCir-
cumstances beyond the control of the
State have up to this time prevented the
moving for another trial of the Indictment
against Messrs. Noonan and Simpson.
The trial had, which resulted in a dis
agreement, was an exhaustive one, occu-
pied many weeks in the preparation of
the case and in the presentation of same
to the court and jury. The case arose
during the administration of my prede-
cessor. 1t was conducted by tn Attorney
General and special counsel.

not alone on the part of the State, but
also on the part of the parties who
brought about the investigation resulting
in the prosecution. The principal wit

have in addition to the reasons above
stated, delayed the movement of the case
again for trial
'tAs soon as the State is in a position to
take action in the case, consistent with
parties involved, such course will be
taken.''
Justice Lippineott said there was no
doubt but that the Court could call on
the Prosecutor to move the trial and in
case of his failure to do so could enter q
nolle pros, but it was doubtful if the
Court could now fix date for any other
term. date cannot be fixed in the pres
