THE BRAE'EAE MURDER CASE.
Ilo attOrneNS for Charles Rrannan.

The attorneys for Charles Brannan.
the Phoebus saloon keeper. who is
locked W in the county jail charged
with numbering William Maloney. an
old soldier. had expected TO have the
hearing this month. Brannan was Wis
tied again yesterday by Il number Of
his friends. who are doing everything
possible to make his situation as bright
as circumstances Will admit Of. He Will
not be interviewed and as his attorneys
have given him strict orders to refrain
from converSing on the subject very lit
tie is known Of the case from his stand
point. Maloney. the murdered man.
il is claimed. had been making his
headquarters at Brannan's saloon. On
the night that Pat Egans place was
demolished by the soldiers from the
fort. Maloney was seen and as he was
thought TO be rather out Of his place,
Sheriff Curtis orderd him locked up.
But upon Maloney's friends promising
to take him To his room at Brannans
place the sheriff allowed him to go.
Nothing more was thought Of the old
soldier until two days later when his
dead body was found hidden away I'M
der 4 fence just in the rear of Bran
mans saloon. The body showed no
marks of violence, but from, the position
in which it vas found there was no
doubling the fact that Maloney had
been fouly dealt with. Coroner J. V.
Jones was notified of the find and on
the day mentioned and he summoned {;
jury and held an inquest. The jury
was, Of course. unable TO obtain any
evidence showing the cause Of the death
so they returned IL verdict that OIaloney
came to his death through causes I'M
known to them. The body was buried
in the National Cemetery and from the
day Of the funeral until Brannans ar
rest very few people even thought of
the death Of William Maloney. much
less to have an idea that Il Phoebus sa-
loon keeper was suspected Of the crime.
When the news of Brannan's Arrest was
made known by the Daily Press many
Of his associates We're at first disinclin-
cd TO believe that he was the man ar
Cd When they visited the county Jail
and saw Brannans name on the regis
ter Kept by Sheriff Curtis, of all prs-
onerS.
When the case comes up for a hearing
in the county court it Will likely attract
considerable attention. as the officers
claim they have evidence strong enough
to convict Erannan of the serious crime.
His friends, however. look at the mat
ter in !, different light and they claim
that !5rannan will encounter no trouble
whatever in proving himself perfectly
innocent. The friends of the prisoner
Will see that he has the advantages of

It is not often that one can score a
victory for wooden shipbuilding over
steel. but it appears now that the build
crs of steel canal boats for service in
this State consider that the: are ahead
Of The times. Five years ago the first
fleet of steel canal boats made its APP
pearancc in New York harbor from
Cleveland, Ohio. having successfully
crossed Lake Erie and surviving the
dangers Of the Erie system without
damage. Now the promoters Of such
service announce that the steel boats
costing $4,000 each are little better for
service than wooden duplicates costing
only $4,000 each and the wooden boats
can be transported across Lake Erie
in floating steel pontocns by fleets Of
six. Until steel becomes cheaper than
wood for such CONSTITUTIONAL purposes,
therefore, it would seem that the steel
canal boat is mot in it."-New York
