Supreme Court AfHrmed
Judgment
of
, . .- '. Murder in Second Degree. .
Olympia, Wash., August 8. -The
supreme'court has affirmed the judg
ment in the case of the state of Wash
ington, respondent, vs. James Robin
son, appellant In December, 1893,
George Sohultz and Frederiok ' Smith
were killed on' the JohriWhiteroad,
in Snohomish oounty. Information
was filed charging the appellant, with
others, of murder in the first degree in
killing Schultz.- Upon this informs
tion ' the defendant was separately
tried,' and a verrtiot of "not'1 guilty was
returned. Thereafter anv Information
was filed oharging him with murder in
the first degree for killing Frederiok
Smith. The defendant set up the al
leged f aots as to the killing of - Sohultz
and Smith and his acquittal for killing
the former, and asks J for a " discharge
on such acquittal, whioh was denied;
but r a written plea was 'allowed - to
stand,' and in connection therewith the
plea of "not ' guilty was' -interposed - in
open court, xne oase was tried and a
verdict of murder in the second degree
was returned. 4 The oourt says:
, ' Was the killing of . each of these
men ' a distinct offense?. They were
killed in a single affray, -and the' con
nection of the appellant was the same,
in his relations to such affray, as it re
lated to each of suoh men. ""If the "re
sult of the meeting when the two , men
were killed had been the death of one
only, the prosecution for murder oould
have been founded on his death; and
there can be no good reasons why that
whioh warranted the prosecution
should lose foroe by reason of the faot
that another circumstance, whioh in
itself wonld warrant suoh ' prosecution,
occurred at the same time and place.
The taking of human life with oertain
intent constitutes murder, and neither
law-. nor publio policy f-will justify
holding that eaoh life is of less value
When . taken' with, another ." .than - it
would be if taken alone. In the opin
ion of the supreme oourt, the undisput
ed proofs, when interpreted in the
light of law, whioh it was the duty of
the court to find, clearly showed ' that
the appellant had never been on trial
for killing Smith."1 ' ) ;
Other minor omeotions were di
sposed of in the opinion, with the re
sult that the conclusion is reaohed that
Robinson had a fair ' trial. Judgment
and sentence are affirmed.
A .STRANGE-CASE.:.
A Nebraska Wire Who Beslred 'to Begin
' Life Anew.
Bosto'h, August 8. Mrs. Annie M.
Gardner,, the delegate- to the Christian
Endeavor convention, 'who so mysteri
ously disappeared, is not dead. , The
knowledge of this fact will be a souroe
of relief to the husband in Arcadia,
Neb. , to whom she wrote just previous
to her disappearance, to the effect that
she was dying and. to whom some per
son signing tne name or u.. A.
Brown," afterwards Wrote, describing
the death and burial of Mrs. Gardner.
It has been discovered . that Mrs.
Gardner instead of stopping in South
Boston during the convention, ' stopped
in Cambridge, under an assumed name.
She traveled under the name of Dor
othy Mansfield, and was known by no
other name during her ' stay- in Boston.
Everything now points to a deliberate
plan" on the part of the' woman, from
the time she reached Boston, to abandon
her husband and three children and to
begin life anew under a new name.
This is the more peculiar because her
domestio life was supposed to be espe
cially happy. '' v' '
Mrs. Gardner's next move' appeared
to have-been to apply at- a well-known
teaoher's agenoy for a position. She
soleoted one of the places whioh were
open and made arrangements to leave
at once for that place, which was in
Connecticut. She then appears to have
written the pathetio letter to her hus
band, telling him that she was ill and
oom'mending him and- the-ohildretf'to
the bare of God.' " The ' next day she
appears to have gone to a clerk in a
stationery store and had him write the
letter signed "Q.: A. Brown," telling
of the' death and burial of Mrs. Gard
ner. With her family thus disposed
of Mrs. Gardner sold her return ticket
to Nebraska to a scalper, bought a
ticket and had her trunk checked at the
New York & New England depot" and
dropped out of sight- v .So far as can be
ascertained there was 'no man in the
oase. vsThe 7 persons engaged in ' the
search expect to locate the woman

THE CASE
THE COLUMBIA'S RU.
Official Report of the Recent
;; Speed Test. ; - ' ;-
ELABORATION OF OTHER REPORT
Last Twenty-Four Hours Was Not Bun
Under Forced Draught Because
i 1 of the Boilers' Condition." N
" Washington, August 7., The offioial
report of Japtain Sumner, commander
of the Columbia, upon the speed test of
that vessel on the run across the At
lantic, reaohed ' the navy department
today. ; It is mainly an elaboration of
the succinct statement of the voyage,
made by the captain when ' he arrived
at New York.; He gays that . he ' made
the run in 6 days, 23 hours and 49
minutes. ' The - quantity of ; coal on
board at. the date of departure was
1,861 tons, of which 1,474 tons and
1,180 pounds were consumed; ' the
draught forward was 26 feet : S inohes
and . aft 25 , feet 6 inohes. Captain
Sumner says: f
It was not deemed practicable to
make the last 24 hours' run nnder
forced draught, because of the unre
liability of the boilers (we were blow
ing out tubes at 140 pounds).. .The
loose state of the engines from the long
run, the great fatigue of the crew, and,
above all, the impraoitcability of get
ting a coal supply to the boilers with
sufficient rapidity from where the coal
was located at this stage of the run,
were the reasons. The run has in
volved excessive labor on the part of
the ship's company, for we had twelve
volunteers from deck on duty ' in the
fireroms for the whole run, and forty-
eight more men from deck have been
employed below for some days past in
supplying the lower bunkers with coal
from the wing passages." ' ' V
The experience of the Columbia - in
her ocean race against time has served
to direct the attention of the engineer-
officers to the pressing need for a radi
cal change in the present system of ar
ranging coal bunkers. , , It has come ' to
be the practice of late years to subdi
vide the interior of the ship's hull, al
lotting spaoe . for - boilers, engines,
sleeping quarters, guns, ' ammunition,
magazines; ana lor t every pthers pur
pose,' and then to tui in the vacant oor-
ners with coal bunkers. The result is
as shown in the case of the Columbia,
that these bunkers are often almost ih
aooessible , and the . contents -can be
reaohed by only ' one man at ' a time,
thus preventing the early supply of the
boilers with coal, and consequently re
ducing the speed of the ship. This is
particularly true of the bunkers when
empty, for they are generally arranged
in groups communicating with one an
other by small doors, and1 the' firemen
must drag the ooal through several
bunkers to get it to the'furnaees.
Acting Seoretary McAdoo today ap
pointed a board, consisting 1 of Com
modore Selfridge, Chief Engineer Far
mer and Naval Constructor Bowles, to
make a complete examination of the
damage done , to the Columbia when
she was docked at Southampton. The
acting seoretary requires the '.board to
make a report of the damages "sustain
ed and the repairs that will; be neoes-

Sah 'Franoisoo, August 8. Two

from Melbourne for London, and the
other, from iNewoastle,' N; ;S."' W; ! to

insurance men who have some risks on
them have given both up for lost.
The bark Florence sailed from New-.
castle on January 26, of this year, and
has not been;, heard from, since. .The,
supposition is that she has foundered
or gone ashore on the South American
coast -. . , . .-' '
The other missing vessel,' the ship
Stoneleigh; sailed from. Melbourne on
February 27, and is, therefore, now out
159 days.-' The British ship Dunsyre,
which recently arrived in London from
Melbourne, reported having spoken the.
vessel on March' 1. : On the following!
day the Dunsyre encountered a terriflo
storm in which she lost sight of the
Stpnleigh and the next day she passed

.. Buffalo, N. Y., August. 7-r-SamueLJ
.Qracey, of this city,, late United States
consul at Foo Chow, China, was inter
viewed today on the reported massacre
at Kn Chensr. Mr. Graoev said:
"Ku Cheng, the plaoe mentioned "in
the press reports as the scene, of , the

to life and "property became so - great
that about two months ago all Amen

W. C. Wilcox and three children, Miss
Chatford and Miss .Rouset, of ..the
Woman's Foreign.. Missionary Sooiety,
and all of the Methodist church. The
other foreigners there -were three or
four members of the English church
mission, who' may not have' . been re
called during the recent troubles. It
is probable : that ' matters may have
quieted down there after the foreigners
came away, and some .may have re
turned, v . i'. i-.-t ".;...- -r.V .;.:.!
"The common people do not distin
guish between Japanese, Americans,
English and German nationalities, but
all alike are foreign and obnoxious.
We cannot bat, fear that outrages, such
as have just recently transpired at
Cheng Tu, in the northwest interior,
will ocour in other localities where for
eign missionaries are - residing, . far
away from the treaty ports and hence
beyond the protection of foreign gun
boats. ''-'-' . ',.' :"' '''.. '';
The peolpe and the officials , of the
Fug Kien province have been the most
friendly , in the . whole ' territory, and
this 'massaore was surprising to all
familiar with the country.
"An Irtiole printed in the North
China Herald of July 5 is as follows:
'At Cheng Tu the officials, who
have more than, an.' adequate foroe ' at
their disposal,: made no serious attempt
to stop the destruction of . the . Protest
ant and Catholio property, ' though
asked to do so from the first. ,, When
the destruction was oomplete, they pro
tected the lives of the missionaries, for
the idea seemed to .have them driven
out but not killed.' The, ohief of polioe
at Cheng Tn issued the following
proclamation on the second day of .the
riots: . -.-: -;.'r:; ' ' - ' v '
, " 'At the present , time we ' haye
ample evidenoe that foreigners deceive

Zip Wyatt Captured After a Desperate
; i(. , ; Fight Mith His Pursuers. ; .
Wichita, .' Kan., ! August 6.-Diok
Yeager, alias Zip Watt, was captured
today near Sheridan', O.T., after a des
perate fight with the officers pursuing
him. .. Six months ago the authorities
of Oklahoma set out to break up Wy
att's gang, which hasbeen murdering,
robbing and committing almost every
crime in the calendar. Its last sensa
tional crime was the robbing of the
Rock Island train near Dover,' the
shooting of Messenger Jones and the
looting of ' the passeenger coaches.
After that robbery the authorities be-
gan a merciless pursuit of the : gang.
Three of Wyatt's pals,, Tulsa Jack, Bill
Doolin and Ike Black, were killed and
a dozen others qf the gang captured.
Alone and single-handed, Zip Wyatt
made a last stand before his pursuers,
and-put up a-desperate fight for his
life, j Wyatt was on his way for the
Glass mountains,' in the Western part
of the Indian reserve, When the officers
engaged him yesterday. ' They ran him
aoross the Rock island traok near Wau
komis, into a cornfield, whioh they sur
rounded. ;,. The, officers played a wait
ing game. . Thirst finally made Wyatt
desperate, and he oame boldly out from
his cover, evidently determined to sell .
his life as dearly as possible. He emp
tied his Winchester at the posse, which
was headed, by Marshal Smith,, of
South Enid. ' The fire was returned. .
Smith's men aimed to cripple Yeagor, '
and soon-his left arm fell by his side,
so that he could not use his gun. The
outlaw then' drew his pistols, and ' ad
vanced step by step toward the 'men
who had been' hunting him. They
backed slowly away, just enough to
keep out of range of his pistols, and
at the same time keeping near enough
to use their rifles., Wyatt soon fell
with a bullet in his hip, but he con- ,
tinued to draw himself toward the
officers, shooting as he crawled. An
other butllet in the should eir finally
disabled him, and the posse gathered '
in on him. ' But even then, with both
arms nselesss, he fought them, kicking
and biting until overpowered by main
strength. ; ' '; : ?! . '
Wyatt was taken ; to the Kingfisher
jail, where surgeons were brought to
dress his wounds. . They say he will
live. Tonight the. orippled outlaw
was taken to the Garfield county jail.
This breaks up the last gang of ban
dits in Oklahoma. ' The campaign
against them has cost the government
a mint of money, but the law officers
have finally triumphed. . -
CATHOLIC ABSTAINERS.
Questions of Importance to Come Be-
' fore the Temperance Convention.
New York, ' August . 6. Questions .
of paramount importance to the Catho
lio 'temperance Union of America will
be discussed at the twenty-fifth annual
convention, to be held this week. The
most . important business will - be the
election of officers. . . . The present presi
dent of the organization ' is the Rev,
James Cleary, of St Paul. So far. as,
is known,' no serious opposition to his
re-eleotion has been developed, but it
is said that the friends of ArchbisHop '
Ryan, ': of Philadelphia, one of the
strongest apostles of ' total abstinence
among the Catholio hierarchy in the
United States, are eager to put him for
ward for the place. . r One question to
be discussed will.be that of the busi
ness , substitute . for . the saloon, on
Which some action may be taken. It
is proposed that this convention shall
eliminate the insurance feature from
