an industrious, Woodworking man, and
his Duckwatsr ranch is considered ct the

critics in that peighborhood. Mrs. De-
Flon has lived in Eureka for some time

The SENTINEL is in receipt of o
communication from Secretary of
State Howell with reference TO the
vote of Eureka county as shown in
his official State returns, and which
we referred to last week as being in
complete. Mr.. Howell says that his
table is q correct copy Of the returns
as made to him by County Clerk
Hoegh, and he thinks that the dis.
crepancy is caused by the fact that
the returns do not show any votes
having been cast in Prospect pre-
cinct for any of the candidates for
Assemblymen. This statement by
the Secretary of State is undoubtedly
correct, as the vote in Prospect
would account for the full number
OF ballots cast in the county.

Before Judge Cook in the Superior
Court in San Francisco on Saturday
last the motion for q new trial in the
case Of Albert Hof, the convicted
murderer Of Mrs. Clute, was with
drawn after the Court had intimated
that he, himself, wss not satisfied with
the verdict rendered by the jury and ii
it we're practical he would grant the
motion in the hope that q more severe
penalty than life imprisonment might
be imposed. The attorney for the
condemned man evidently concluded
that il was better to take life impFison-
ment for his client than TO run the risk
oil hanging, and for that reason with
drew his motion and asked that sen
tence be passed.
When asked by the Court II he had
anything to say before sentence was
pronounced, Hoff simply made the re-
quest that he be sent to San Quentin /;
but even this was denied, and he was
sent to Folsom prison for life. After
Court had adjourned Hoff became
greatly excited and made the following
statement:
al tell you, gentlemen" continued
the now thoroughly aroused prisoner,
"that this man Seymour can grace a
gallows better than 1. It is an old
story Of revenge with him. He swore
10 be ever with me, and l guess he
has accomplished his end. A year
before Mrs. Clute was killed we had
trouble over . mattress. He was then
living on California street, between
Laguna and Buchanan. II was q
small affair, but he treasured il against
me, and has now had his revenge.
"Ohl II / could speak l could tel
who killed Mrs. Clute. The man wal
in the house with me at the time, bu'
in . room where l could not see him
He struck the murderous blow thai
cost that woman her life, but in the
end we will know all, and l ask Al
mighty God to give me life and
strength to establish the truth Of my
statements.
"If it were not for the danger OF ex-
posing my family to the infamous cal
jimmy of the police, l could give
name that would astound the people
of San Francisco. One that for cen
turies has held a place in European
history second to none. But no,
made Q mistake in referring TO it, 81
let it pass.
81 pray for Mrs. Clute every night
and for her grief-stricken husband
III have no fear that she viii
haunt me in my dreams, for sh'
knows too we'll who struck that fata
blow. l have no resentment for thu
District Attorney nor for Mr.. Hosmer
but to the police alone do l attribute
the evils that have befallen me-"
With this rambling protestation o
his innocence, Hoff fell back into thu
