American civilian, testified that he had
been slashed on the head with a bolo
in the hands Of Powell, who found him
enjoying the company of a mulatto

that the defendant had not committed
all the battery in the case, as his rival
had welded a razor. With this ex-
tenuating circumstance was combined

Powell.

Edward w. Gunther will answer In
the Superior Court the charge of at
tempting to bribe a juror in Chinese
murder case recently on trial before
Judge Lawlor.
When the preliminary examination
was called in Department No. of the
Police Court yesterday the defendants
attorney, Samuel NJ. Shortridge, moved
for dismissal on the ground that the
complaining witness, David Kelly, was
unworthy of credence under oath, but
the motion was denied and the hearing
continued till next Tuesday, when. as
Judge Fritz said, he would hold Gun
ther to the higher court, with bail fixed
at $4,000.
Shortridge produced affidavits to
show that Kelly had repeatedly COM
mitted perjury in order to be permit
ted to vote at public elections. At
Olympia, Washington Territory, in the
year 1870, the attorney said. Kelly for
mally declared his intention of renounc-
ing allegiance to the Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland. and that same
year he voted as a full-hedged citizen
of the United States, although he was
not legally entitled to do so. Ten years
later he swore that he did not embrace
citizenship until 1879, and two years
thereafter he testified on oath that he
became a citizen in 1870. Subsequently
he repeated these contradictory aver
ments and otherwise pronounced him
self a person whose oath was valueless.
In addition to the alleged perjury by
Kelly, Shortridge hinted. at collusion
between Kelly and Gunther in the brib-
cry in question, but Judge Fritz
thought that such collusion had not
been indicated by the evidence.

Mary Moore, arrested for vagrancy,
swooned while Judge Conlan was in
terrogating ner. While on her way to
the witness stand she overheard one
policeman facetiously whisper to an
other that the Supervisors had just
passed an ordinance establishing a
whipping post for the punishment of
female vagrants, but she did not see
the wink that accompanied the whis-
per, nor did she know that the re-
mark was uttered specially for her
hearing. So when she ascended the
platform her nerves were all afiutter
and the judicial questioning so en-
hanced the trepidation that she sud-
denly went into dreamland. After her
removal to the matron's room the case
was dismissed.
Patrolman ]. P. Fogarty arrested
the woman in an apartment house at
Turk and Taylor streets, where she
was consorting with Harry Hynes,
vaudeville specialist out of a job.
Hynes convinced the court that he was
willing to perform for a moderate sal
ary, but for some reason the managers
did not yearn to book his "act." He,
too, was discharged from custody and
gratuitously advised to change his oc-
cupation.
