The San Francisco call., 1899-09-25

People familiar with the mining sltua-
tion IN this State will observe that several
of the mining counties in which there is
not only great mining activity but large
proportion OF mineral land open to pros
pectors are not here reported. Notable
among these are Siskyou and Trinity
counties. which share Shasta's s mining
characteristics and which would be found
closely approaching Shasta's record. Cal
averas on the mother lode is not reported.
There are no returns from Fresno, with
its remarkable oil boom, or from its sis
ter MADEIRA. Prospecting is especially ac-
tive over the great mineralized desert re-
giOn Of Southern California. as Kern

San Bernardino nor Riverside are includ-
ed. 1t would seem a fair assumption that
the averages and totals given above
should be raised

effect of making things look especially
war like.

OF 10 dances followed. The floor director

Sergeant N. H. Weloh. and the aids were
Capt W. L. Bsrris Lieut.. l.. W. Lowsll,

jury.
Judge Emery's charge excited much at
tentlon from all wh3 heard 1t for its clear
distinction between moral and legal re-
sponsibility for crime.
1t was especially valuable In the clear
discrimination which 1t made between
insanity in the sense Of medicine and In
sanity In the sense Of law. A man may
be insane in the doctors judgment and
yet be morally responsible in the judg.
ment Of the court. A man may be weak
or diseased in an arm and yet be able to
do ordinary work.
A man may not be whols and yet bs q
man. just so q man may be diseased In
his nerves, morbid or irregular In the ac-
tion of his mind, and yet be responsible
in the sense of law. A man may be ma
ignant, depraved. vile. eccentric, moody,
or given to uncomfortable outbursts Of
passion and yet be sane and responsible.
It was conceded by all who heard IL to
have been one Of the finest charges ever
given In a case IN Maine, where the ques-
tion Of the insanity Of the respondent has
been involved. 1t consumed a little over
an hour. The jury went out at 1925.
At LEO in the afternoon they came In
with a verdict OF murder In the first de-
gree.
The prisoner did not move muscle
when he heard the verdict, but main
tanned the same dsmeanor he has during
most OF the trial.
At times he has shown considerable
nervousness, but usually sat with his
head bowed and apparently taking no In
terest in the proceedings as he did after
the verdict had been rem Tered. He went
out - quietly with the officer as he has
any day Of the trial
The foreman Of the jury stated that one
of the ballots had stood, one for insAn ity
and eleven for conviction, but would not
state anything more rs to how the de-
cisiop Was reached.
