Spokane, Waah., Nov. 2 — The
Seiffert murder case went to the jury
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. At 6
o'clock a verdict of not guilty waa re
turned. At 7 o'clock the judge came
into court and the verdict was an

When the announcement
was made, Seiffert turned aud em

kitowu attorney and politician, in the
corridor of the courthoute at Spokane
shortly before 6 o'clock ou the evening
of July 31 last.
The tragedy resulted from remarks
made by Plattor lu court, and which
Seiffert construed as a reflection upjn
his character.
Seiffert was being
pressed before the court as adm inis
trator of the estate of Rudolph Gurkow.
a rich brewer, who died iu Spokane a
short tim e previously. Gorkow had
married a variety actress about a year
before, and the marriage was an un
happy one. He brought suit for di

When oourt adjourned, the two men
met in the corridor. Seiffert claimed
he offered his hand to Plattor as a
trotber Elk. and said:
"Come on. Lew. and 1 w ill show
you that you are all wrong."
It was said by some, but this was
denied by others, that Plattor rejected
the proffered hand aud struck Seiffert
with bis cane. Seiffert then drew a
revolver and fired the fatal shot, which
passed through the heart

San Francisco, Nov. 2 —The recent
changes that have taken place at the
several local m ilitary stations w ill not
result in a reduction of the numerical
force of the Sau Frauciw*o bay gatnson.
As a matter of fact, the late maneu
vers mean that San Francisco harbor is
to be more thoroughly protected than
ever. Colonel W. R Shafter, the new
comander at the Presidio, is authority
for this statement.
Furthermore, the
various changes < ffected and iu coun m-
plation are the direct result of General
M iles’ recent visit to the Pacific coast
It is the intention of the war depart

headquarters for the post officers sud a
detachment of laud foroes, instead of a
rendezvous for the principal detach
ments assigned to the post.
The
assignm ent of bigh-power guns to this
station has rendered necessary the selec
tion of elevated and advantageous sites,
such as Lime point, Point Lobos and
Point Bonita, fur their mounting, tn-
■?ead of the low ground at the Presidio.
One of the chief features of tthe pro
posed improvements for the defense of
this port w ill be the establishm ent of
au eutireiy new station on the Mann-
ouunty shore.
The almost natural
earthworks hack of Point Lobos, on the
ban Francisco shore, are to be mounted
w ith six or eight of the bigb-power
guns and another powerful battery is
to be located at Lake Merced.
These, acting with the already pow
erful battery of dynamite guns and 16-
inch high power nfl«*s mounted near
the Presidio, are considered sufficient
by General Miles aud Colonel bhafer
to take care of auy hostile squadron.
