DARLING CASE.
Attorneys Consume the
DaV.

The case of O. r. Stockwell
against Flo Darling Of the Windsor
rooming house was called before
Judge KEENAN, this morning.
All the forenoon was consumed
in spar-ing match between the
attorneys for the Wlndsor's proprie-
tress and for the plaintiff.
Nuzum 4 Sullivan were arguing
for demurrer and Winston was
making strong plea for an in
junction against the house. Court
was adjourned until o'clock this
afternoon without coming to any
understanding.
Thfs afternoon the case took n
different direction and the defend
ants tried to show that Stockwell
was merely an instrument in the
game, that he was put up by others
who were DESTROYS Of antagonizing
the interests of their client. They
desired to give the court the i'm
preston that money was being used
to gain this end.
The testimony was of a sensa-
tional character and a large at
tendance listened with much inter
est to the clever arguments of the
able attorneys.
Flo Darling Is on the stand as
we go to press and seems to accept
the situation with much ease.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-The American
authorities held an autopsy on the
body of Mrs. Ellen Gore this morn
ing.
The taking of measurements
showed that the ball passed be-
tween the lids of the right eye out
through the rear of the skull al
most horizontally.
This seems to disprove Rydzew-
skis story that the shot came from
an angle from the floor unless Mrs.
Gore was STOPPING at the time.
The examination of the pistol
showed that 1t was possible to be
discharged by striking the floor.
The American physicians ad-
1ourned and refused to make a
statement or give their opinion UNI
til they had communicated their
written report to Consul General
. Gowdy, for which they have re-
quested 4S hours time.

CASTRO IN TROUBLE.
Venezuelan Government Is Now

The government. of Venezuela, owing to
the fear that the revolutionists might
make a night attack on Caracas. and in
view of the fact that Vice President
Nincente Gomez left that city yesterday
morning with all the troops available. 500
men, to reinforce President Castro, has
been transferred to the provisional cap
ital' of Venezuela, in the Guaxpuro dis
trict, surrounding Los Teques, without
any town or village being stipulated the
headquarters of the ministers.
Consequently the seat of the government
may be in a railroad car or in some other
place unknown to the general public. The
Venezuelan government was also actuated
in this matter by a desire not to reply to
the questions of the foreign ministers, who
have been daily asking for redress as the
result of injuries inflicted on the persons
or properties of citizens of the countries
which they represent.
The latest news from La Victoria, where
an important engagement began Monday
morning between the army of President
Castro and the forces commanded by
General Matos, Mendoza, Pera1oza and
Riera, states that President Castro was
surrounded by revolutionists and that his
position was critical.
