Azores, where, after stay of week
or SO. they were taken on board
sailing vessel which was bound for
Lisbon. and which had stopped at the
Azores for water. From Lisbon he
came to Italy, and at Genoa sought
his old friend Mutterelli. whom he felt
he could trust implicitly. Being in
formed that Mutterelli was In Cagliari
with Signor Wilperton of New York,
Thorlane made all preparation to en-
ter the country where his life and lib
ertTswere not safe. and the day he saw
me wounded by the wayside was his
first day in Cagliari. He had found
Mutterelli, and these two at once en-
tered into secret compact, the re-
suits of which we have seen.
Mutterelli was a member of a secret
order in Italy and Sardinia, into whicn
he initiated Brother Michael" and it
was the authority, this membership
gave him that enabled the putative
monk to compel the band of Count di
Pordino to withdraw just when they
held victory In their grasp.
Thorlane. as Brother Michael, be-
came the guest of the superior of the
monastery. and from that vantage
ground proceeded to put into opera
tion all the wires and machinery of his
secret skill to bring to a successful
termination his dangerous mission.
And now that we have seen how
well he carried out his purposes. how
steadfast he was in his love and in
his friendship, and how skillfully he,
did the work he had on napd. leave
it to the reader to Justify the love and
admiration that Nita Barlotti and
felt toward his man, whose nobility
of soul and sterling worth are worthy
of more fitting tribute than can be
conveyed in my feeble and inadequate
language.

left Stanford for his Eastern tour,
he was the guest of honor at dining

affair. and the reading of a paper is
regular ceremony at their periodical
dinners. Prof. Griggs was to read tne
paper on this occasion, and some OF
the members got wind of the fact that
the professor intended to read his
paper which appeared in the Overland
Monthly. A copy of the magazine was
accordingly bought and submitted to a
printer. A press proof of the essay
was given to each member of the
club. When Prof. Griggs' turn came
he arose with much impressment, pro-
duced his manuscript, and began.

VEXATIOUS LAW
POINT DECIDED
Judge Taking Deposi-
ton May Punish for
Contempt.
Supreme Court Establishes
Precedent in Legal
Procedure.

The Supreme Court IN a decision rem
dered yesterday established the prece-
dent that the Judge OF q Superior Court
can punish for contempt a witness who
refuses 10 answer proper questions in the
taking Of a deposition. It is declared fur
thermore that the Judge can impose an
adequate penalty Immediately without the
fling Of a formal complaint. The point is
new one in California jurisprudence and
in fact there are no exactly analogous
cases in the court records Of other States.
H. J. Croker had commenced an &C
ton in the court Of which n. P. Conrev
was Judge and the latter was taking a
deposition when the witness refused TO
answer any questions relating to the mat
ter IN controversy. Plaintiffs demanded
that the man giving the deposition be pun
ished for contempt and compelled to an
swer proper and pertinent questions.
Judge Conrey held that he was not act
ing in an official capacity when taking
the deposition and Crocker's attorneys
petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ
Of mandamus compelling the Judge to
punish the recalcftrant witness for con-
tempt
The last named tribunal has held recent
ly in the case Of Burns VS.. Superior Court
that = witness who refuses to answer
proper questions when giving q deposition
before a notary public may be punished
for contempt. In that case, the filing Of
a formal complaint before a judicial Off
Ger is Necessary before the witness may
be sent to jail
The Supreme Court holds in the present
instance that a Superior Court Judge is
acting in an Official capacity when taking
a deposition and that there is no need
that he be appraised by affidavit Of facts
OF which he is already cognizant but that
he should fine the witness Immediately
and send him 10 jail until he shall be
ready TO answer proper questions.
The Supreme Court also decided that
Auditor Browning of Yolo County must
draw salary warrants in favor W A An

~. Andrews received a certificate of cleo
ton, but H. L. Huston, a rival candidate
began a contest for the Office. The SUI
perior Court decided in favor Of the con-
testsut and the case is now on appeal in
the Supreme Court.
Although il is quite possible that An
drews be counted out, the court holds that
he has the right TO collect the salary of
the District Attorney since he has been
given a certificate Of election and is dis
charging the duties of the Office.

OBTAIN MONEY
BY A SWINDLE
Arrest of Two Men Who
Have Been Fleeing
Merchants.
Make Canvass of the Rialto
Building and Are
Recognized.

S. c. Doyle and William Calvin, who
give theirsoccupation as switchmen, were
arrested yesterday morning by Policemen
Mcnamara and Clue and booked at the
City Prison on a charge Of obtaining
money by false pretenses. They are two
OF the men who have been collecting
money from merchants in this city and
Los Angeles for a Mrs. Davis" whose
husband was alleged to have been killed
in q railroad accident. They had with
them circular letter purporting to be
signed by the secretaries of the Switch
mems Union and the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers authorizing them to
collect subscriptions.
Two of the gang called upon Nathan.
Dohrmann & Co. some weeks ago asking
for a subscription, but +. w. Dohrmann
became Suspicious and went to the tele-
phone to notify the police. The men ran
away. Dohrmann made the matter pub
lie at the time, but the men continued to
solicit and receive subscriptions.
Last Thursday Doyle and Calvin made a
canvass Of the Rialto building and one of
the subscribers there was L. L. Long, sec
rotary Of the Pacific Lumber Company.
He subsequently learned that the men
were frauds and made the fact known
throughout the building.
Yesterday morning Doyle and Calvin
again visited the Rialto building, but they
soon suspected that something was wrong
and left The superintendent of the
building followed them till he met Police
men Mcnamara and Clue on Third street
He told the officers what the men had
been doing, and the policemen went after
them. Doyle and Calvin separated as
soon as they saw the officers were fol-
lowing them, and ran. Doyle was cap
tured and taken to the City Prison, and
half an hour later Calvin was found hid
ing under a bed in the Revere House, on
Fourth street, near Mission.

av,nced much interest in and paid a great
deal of attention to the instruction, al
though the day was very warm. They
practically put in the time usually allotted
