CALHOUN CASE GOES
TO THE JURY
TODAY
HENEY FAILS TO FINISH IN TIME
FOR JUDGE TO INSTRUCT
THE JURY.

san Francisco, June 1S-The case
against Patrick Calhoun, president of
the United Railroads. on trial for the
alleged bribery of Ferdinand p. N.ch-
oas, member Of the so-called
Schmltz board of "boodling" super
Vlsors of San Francisco. will be given
to the jury tomorrow. When court
convened today it was the confident
expectation of all concerned in the
case that Prosecutor Heney would con-
clude his closing argument sufficient
~ early in the afternoon to enable
Judge LaWlor to instruct the iurv and
send them to their deliberations by
nlghtfall. But Mr.. Heney disappointed
them. When 4 O'clock the usual hour
OF adjournment, arrived he was far
from the conclusion of the address he
began early yesterday, and it became
necessary to extend the session until
6 o'clock.
The courtroom was crowded to its
capacity, among the spectators being
not only all of the principals in the
celebrated case, but many people,
potA mem ana women, from the high
est social and professional circles of
the city Throughout the long ses-
sion the audience listened in tense si-
lence to Mr. Heney's analysis of the
case, his bitter invective against the
defendant and the so-called graft
ring and his impassioned demand
that Calhoun be sent "to the rest he
has earned
THE court will expect argument to
be completed at 1890 o'clock tomor-
row morning" said Judge I,awlor
when the night session opened, and
unless there is an unexpected dis
agreement between court and counsel,
the jury probably will be given the
case almost on the hour of noon
tomorrow.

Today's discussion was confined

THEY PLANNED TO MURDER
REV. WOLFRAM AND MRS. LOCK
HART, THE LOVE PIRATES.
TELL SENSATIONAL STORY.

The Atlanta Constitution says the
plot of affinities to poison the hus-
band in the case was laid bare in
police court when Rev Charles H.
Wolfram, author and Holiness
preacher, and Mrs. Lockhart were
Iarraigned on charges preferred by
J. J. LOckhart.
According to the stories told by
the soul mates j. J. Lockhart, the
legal husband of Mrs. NJ. P. Lock-
hart, was doomed to die, but the
affinities differed on the point of the
slayer. Lockhart is a stenographer
in the office of the Southern railroad
in Atlanta.
Mrs. Lockhart, who recently went
back to her first husband, said that
Rev Wolfram was the author of the
murder plot, and that on condition
that she administer the poison she
had been allowed to return to her
home.
Preacher Blames Woman.
When Rev. Wolfram got a chance
to tell his side Of the story to Re
.corder Broyles he practically repeat
ed the words of Adam, 1.-The woman
tempted me-" What he really said
however, was that the wife was
equally implicated with him in the
plot.
After hearing the whole story,
many of the details being Of a dis
gushing nature, Judge Broyles bound
man and woman over under $1,000
bond each, in default of which they
were sent to jail.
In sending the couple to the tow
.er Recorder BroyIes remarked:
You two people ought to be in the
penitentiary for life. Any person
who would hatch such a dastardly
scheme of murder should never be
allowed freedom"
Wolfram and Mrs. LOckhart were
held for bigamy, as both admitted
they were married two years ago in
Jacksonville.
Mrs. LOckhart had gone to Jack
sOnVille to meet the preacher, and
while there sued her husband for a
divorce. This divorce, they say, af-
forwards proved to be bogus. The
couple was married the day they
thought Mrs. LOckhart had obtained
a divorce, and say they did not dis

week later They then separated,
they say, but later both went to Chi

to hold a revival
Striking is the contrast between
the soul mates. Mrs. Lockhart is

But ten days later it was found that
the divorce was bogus. Wolfram
says that he doesn't exactly know
why it was bogus, or what made it
so, but that bogus it was. He and
Mrs. LOckhart, he says, then took
