The democratic New Orleans Pic

will not always be the jackass party,

not pretend to see anything in sight
at present to justify this optimistic
view. In fact it realizes that the
pranks of Ex-Governor Hogg, of
Texas, at the Taminany dinner on
the Fourth of July and Tammany's
jubilation thereat furnish very
good reason why tie designation

q chance to make them $50 on 81 where
the average safe investment yields them

The company took all these conditions
INTO consideration and also the fact that
no official of the School Department was
IN a position to do the teachers more of
the favors that are vital to them and their
Welfare than Simpson. After so figuring

going ahead with our work; all we want
is money to do it with. There is 1lenty of
1t IN the School Department and If the
teachers want to take a chance with us
they have got right to do it." With Mr..
Simpsons innocent view Of his graft the
School Board, however, does not agree

The Hidden Treasure OIL people were
as quick to see Simpsons commercial
value as he was to accept their subse-

approached him through one of his warm
est friends, Bruce B. Kimmis Of 201 Turk
street with proposition to take the pres
idency Of the company and 1000 shares of
the capital stock for doing so.
Simpson demurred at first. School scan

ach for anything Of that sort; but it was
cleverly pointed out to him that with

BUILDING ITS
CASE AGAINST
JOSEPH FRENNA
Turner Murderer Will
Soon Be Tried.

Preliminaries have been settled and the
prosecution is ready to proceed with the
trial of Joseph P. Frenna, who shot ]. +.
Turner in the Crocker building about two
months ago. Frenna's case is on Judge
Cooks calendar for Tuesday morning. but
it is probable that continuance Will be
granted, as another Cease precedes IT.
During the several weeks that have
elapsed since Frenna sent five bullets into
hts victims back local detective agency
has been busy in an effort to obtain evil
dence to prove that Turner was fighting
man, but with poor success, while, on the
other hand, the prosecution has succeeded
in a like effort regarding Frenna.
The prosecution is convinced that the
motive which prompted Frenna to murder
Turner was to prevent his being arrested
on q charge of perjury, alleged to nave
been committed during the trial OF the
several charges against Turner instigated
by Frenna- 1t is said that F'renna pre-
ferred risking trial for murder with Iur-
ner out of the way, on the contention that
into court as a defendant charged with
perjury, with Turner living. In any
event, the prosecution is satisfied that 1t
will be able to carry its case to sue
cessful conclusion with the motive named
as the cause of the assassination. frenna
will doubtless allege that he acted in self
nullified by the testimony of witnesses
that Turner was shot in the back, Frenna
will set forth emotional insanity as de-
fense, said emotional insanity being
caused by the action Of the dead IN rob
bing his slayer Of several thousand dol
lars In anticipation of such a defense,
the District Attorney IS prepared to show
that such a contention cannot nave a
basis, as witnesses will testify that FTen-
ma not only acknowledged that he got
back all the money he loaned Turner but
that he received as high as $50 day in
terest on loan of $4,000.
The prosecution will prove that In Oc-
tober Of 1895 a settlement was effected
between the murderer and his victim,
Frenna receiving $4,000, with interest, and
reconveying all the securities he held to
Turner, including a $4,000 mortgage and
valuable property in Modoc County. The
trouble between Frenna and Turner was
caused, the prosecution will further show,
by g. statement made to Frenna by Laur-
ence S. Megginson that the securities re-
ceived from Turner were valueless. AT
that time Frenna threatened to kill Tur-
ner. Additional securities were given and
trouble was averted. Witnesses will tes-
tify that Miss O'Donnell, Turner's stem
ographer, told them that Frenna would
kill Turner unless restrained, and this.
coupled with the testimony of q local
broker that Frenna acknowledged that he
was settled with Turner and refused to
make a statement of any debt, is, in the
mind of the District Attorney, sufficient
to secure a verdict against Frenna Of
guilty Of murder in the first degree.
