Murray I a young man about 33 years of age, luick intelligent. He was inclined to be Just a little surly la his answers, and the patieace of Court was tried to a considerable extent. He waa asked if be had counsel.

No," he replied, "I can defend mjself; I guess I know more about my case than anybody else. don't IT" i As was subsequently shown he did. That he some legal acumen was made evident. Keeper Sheppard was placed on the stand and testified that the defendant had been confined in on a commitment regularly issued. On Sat.

nrday night he and four others were confined in cell No. 8T, and on morning they were not there. They had escaped by a hole sat the top of the cell. At the conclusion of this testimony Hurray addressed the Court: "As I understand the law." said he, "the statement of this man does not go show any felony on my part. He does not charge that I cut the hole or did any thing else than make my escape by it.

This, your honor, only a misdemeanor, and to that I shall only plead guilty." "SACBAMXKTO BILL XHS STAID. The defendant desired to call "Sacramento or William Clark, another of the recaptured escapes. He was brought in from an ante room, attired in a red shirt, black dress coat and pants. His hair was allowed to grow long, waa. curled ever his left eye, which was bright and piercing.

I don't know who wrote the poetry, it was good though, wasn't it Bill was remanded into the custody of the Sheriff, and notwithstanding that Murray was willing to plead guilty to malicious mischief, he was held to answer to the charge of felony, with bail fixed at $3,000.

POLICEMAN NO. 133. An Officer Who Should be Taught His Duties, Also to be a Gentleman. Though our new and efficient policemen have trod their beats for a number of weeks already, is painfully evident that there are a few of them who have yet much to learn. They should learn first and foremost to he gentlemen, and then to distinguish gentlemen from criminals.

We Were told this morning of an outrage committed by one of these petty officers last evening, which merits the censure of the Police Commissioners, if not their more serious notice. A gentleman, connected with the Exak-ma Office, who was passing along Lombard street, above Mason, last night, at 10 o'clock, was somewhat startled at hearing a gruff hail from the other side of the ttreet. He paid no attention to It, thinking it was some drunken loafer. When It was repeated, the gentleman turned and saw th one who had given utterance to. it advancing towards him; Here, stop there," exclaimed the approaching party, I want to know where you live." Be sure the ruffianly voice in which this waa said.

and the bullying manner did little to ire the gentleman addressed, and he told this other, in no very soft words that the whole matter was none of his basin ess. At the same time he saw a star, So. 122, upon the bully's breast, and was more surprised than ever that one, who was delegated to protect th peace and quiet of the neighborhood, should assume the line and air of a highwayman. "I am looking out for all suspicious characters," growled this model officer, "and if you don't tell me your name and residence, I shall take yon In." The gentleman saw that he had a fool to deal with, and not a sensible guardian of the peace, and so to save further trouble gave his address. He, however, got the number of this efficient officer, and has given it to us for publication.

It is Ho. 122. Another officer about the time the gentleman Lwas moving off, and when appealed to for an explanation of the other's con duct, he seemed heartily ashamed of it and could make no defence. Ho. 122 positively denied to his brother officer that he had stopped the gentltT man.

Let the Chief look into this matter, and teach No. 122 to be as much of a gentleman aa his limited brain will permit. AN OCEAN-SIDE AFFKAV. Terribl and Bloody Cutting- Scrap at at Public Hons. Charles Johnson, a German, was brought to the city prison last night drunk, and covered with blood.

He was cast into one of the cells, and this morning, at halt after nine o'clock, a charge of assault to murder was entered against his name. To-day at noon an Examinee reporter Interviewed the prisoner and learned the particulars of the offence of which he Is charged. Johnson says that he has been employed at the Ooean-Side House for the last three months ss hostler. On Wednesday evening he was paid $30 by the proprietor, Frank Green, and he then went off on a spree. Going over to the Lake House he had several rounds of drink.

and then decided to go home. He was almost drunk but he bought two soda bottles full of whisky" and set out on the road. Arrived at the Ocean-side House be went into the kitchen, and began treating all round. Frank Green came In and ordered him away from the He refused to go, and Green advanced upon him. He struck him once in the face, when Johnson drew from his pocket a pruning-knife with a blade about six Inches long, hooked at the end: He struck Green in the shoulder with it, making an ugly wound, and the two then grappled.

While they were down Johnson managed to hook the sharp point of the blade into the calf of Green's leg, and with a strong pull, cut the muscles, tendons and all away from the bone, leaving the flesh hanging only by the skin- At this point the cooks and waiters rushed in and tried to secure Johnson. He was furious with rage and drink, and swore that he would kill every man In the house. All were afraid to approach him, and he was about to pat an end to Green, now rendered helpless, when he was knocked senseless by a club in the hands of the colored porter. Green was put to bed and a doctor sent for At first he pronounced the wound on the leg fatal, but subsequently managed to staunch the flow of the blood, and his recovery Is now probable although amputation may be necessary. Johnson expresses much regret at the result of his drunken rage.

Tit Jnrjr Find It aa Ordinavry- Cavae icide. The Inquest Into the canse of the death of William Freidreichaon, was resumed last night before Coroner Bioe. Mrs. Ellen Horton, the lady who refused to answer the Coroner, what lof she thought an impertinent question the previous evening, was recalled. She admitted finally that she had a business correspondence with the deceased, but no other.

THOMAS K. HaBmk aid that he had formerly lived at No. lofl Mason street, at the time that deceased was Hying there. He had known him since the first week of January; I know he attempted to poison biriaif while living la that house; he seemed to have been in considerable trouble In regard to business transactions, and disappointed at his not succeeding ss an aftlst. 1 knew Mr.

Freidreichaon Intimately; his temperament was warm and excitable; he was very open and frank, and had no duplicity in his character! I was hot sur prised when I heard that he had shot himself. for the reason that he had threatened to take his own life before, and had made one attempt. A "BUIXrrrjr" MAS named Frost was called to testify. Be said that he was told that Freidreichaon had shot himself on the morning of the 39th nit. Mr.

Harris had told him. Both remarked that we were not surprised at his having shot my reason was that on the 13th inst. he had taken two-thirds of that bottle 'showing large bottle of sulphate of morphia. He spoke of his art and the injustice done him; bat that was an evasive answer; he seemed to have something on his mind; he was very despondent, Is shown the letter. That is the one I saw in Mr.

Horton 's possession on the 31st nit; all the information given me about the letter was volunteered by Mr. Horton; when I met him he said, Here is a lettter fox Mr. Freid reichson; I want you to read itf I told him that did not want to read it; that it belonged to the Coroner, and that it should not ba handed about; he insisted on my reading it; and then opened it and held it before my eyes; I ag un declined; saw it was a lady's writing; I told him again that I did not wish to read it; he opened it; how- ever, and pointed to the second page. "There, he said, pointing to a particular paragraph, "read that;" I did look and saw by reading a few lines that it was evidently a very private matter, and did not read further; I have seen it partially published since; I don't think he showed me the letter to publish, as he knew I would not; I know Mr. Pearson; after the letters were burned I had conversation with him; I told him that if the contents of that trunk were destroyed he would get himself in trouble; I did not know at that time they were destroyed.

TH2 VXRDICT. This closed the testimony and the jury retired. At ten o'clock the jury returned the following. verdict: 'We, the jury, find that the deceased, Wilhelm Freidreichaon, came to his death on the 38th of March, 1871, at the Cliff House road, in the city and county of Ban Francisco, from the enacts of a pistol shot wound, in the left side of the chest, penetrating the heart and stomach with suicidal intent. The jury also censure the acts of Mr.

Pearson and Mrs. Horton for opening the small trunk of the deceased and destroying the contents." ENDED AT AST. Tne Fa moms Blatelc Will Brokeat la the Probate Court. We have refrained from giving the testimony taken in the Black will case, which has dragged its slow length along in the Probate Court, since the 16th of March, because there was so much of uninteresting matter, which would have crowded out of oar columns much that must of necessity have been pub lished. To understand the real state of the case.

only a few words of explanation is necessary. James Black, of Marin county, died leaving an estate valued at $3,000,000, In his will he bequeathed to his second wife and her children the balk of his estate, disinheriting (Mrs. Bnrdell) his daughter by his first wife' The daughter contested the will, and a legal struggle ensued, in which some of the best legal talent in the State were employed on both sides. The case vi as tried three times in Marin county, the Jury on each trial failing to agree. It was then transferred to the Probate Court of this city, and has been engrossing the attention of the Court since the 16th of March.

10. Did said James Black, at the time of sum. ing said instrument, know or understand the true meaning and construction of said will aiuver jso. Judge Campbell, counsel for proponents of the will, had the Jury polled, each juror answering that it was his verdict. The fees in the Case for this trial amount to $570.

TBB SECOND ASCENSION. Tho Preparations for th Balloon Trip To Morrow Afternoon. Extensive preparations are being made for th balloon ascension to take place at Woodward's Gardens, to-morrow afternoon, by Captain Bar. bier, In his Immense silk mail balloon "Le Secours." A large stationary metre has been erected on the ground, which, with the aid of a new force pump, will furnish ten thousand feet of gas each hour. The balloon has been thor oughly, overhauled by Captain Barbier, and new coat of varnish laid on.

Its dimen sions are in length, from neck to valve. 80 feet, and in circumference it slightly exceeds 170 feet. Though not so tall as Professor Allen's balloon, its diameter is much greater In shape it is almost a ball. M. Barbier will, in this trip, take with him several carrier pigeons which will be let loose at different points of the voyage, and their flight to the Gardens will be well worth witnessing.

Should the sufficient amount of gas he supplied ten or twelve persons will be carried on the voyage, and those who wish to make a pleasant trip across the Bay should apply at once to the agent, M. Genese, at the Gardens. Extra cars will be run on the the Mission street line for the large crowd anti- cipated. Palace Amphitheatre. Manager Wilson, not satisfied with the im.

WAamUQTO. April 2. In September last A. H. Conger, F.

A. Btratton and Calvin Brown, of the Havy, were appointed as a Board of Engineers to oarefully examine the navy yard at Mare Island and to present to the Bureau of Tarda and Docks a bill embracing an economical and eo herent plan for its further development, having in' view all the need of a first-class navy yard and the harmonious relation of its various departments. The Board has submitted Its report with fall specifications for a most complete Havy yard. Mare Island, they say, is the only establishment on the whole Paciflo coast, and must in future supply all the Wants of the Northern and Southern Paciflo squadrons. Appropriations have been made for all the buildings and ether improvements which are needed for the accommodation of the various branches of work to be executed, and the large quantities of material and stores which must necessarily accumulate at this point, and for a suitable number of buildings, ships, and dry-docks for building, launching and repairing.

They are all shown on the plans. A large basin, with a railroad for ships according to what the Board call the American system, is adopted. The Board proposes to devote the whole eastern shore line from the principal avenue as far as the magazine, to the use of construction and steam engines and the portion of water from the same north to and including the present steam engine works for th use of the Bureaus of Equipment, Provisions, Navigation and Ordnance. Arrange ments will he made for collecting and storing forty-eight million gallons of water. The following is a schedule of the works to be first built and the estimated cost of the same: Grading 100,000 cubic yards per annum, quarry wall, 600 lineal feet per annum, extension of the floating dock basin, build, ing, iron floating deck, for wood and metal work, shops for yards, and docks, carpenter and paint-shops, 1300.C00; machine-shops, store-houses, offioes, store house and office for yards and docks, 000; temporary erecting of shop for steam engineering, sail loft, general store for ordnance, smithery, machine shops, boiler shop, store-house, foundry, construction basin complete, $1,600,000.

The Evening Pott, noting the debate ia th Senate on finances, says the particular point was the speech of Senator Jones of Nevada, who surprised everybody by th soundness and eloquence of his argument.

He has hitherto been a silent member, and people generally counted him aa a nonentity. Senator Morton found him a dangerous antagonist, and quailed before the facts of the JTevada Senator. Mr. Morton attempted the old subterfuge of accusing California and Nevada of disloyal! ty, because they looked with suspicion on the Government's unfulfilled promises to pay. He wanted to know whether th Union would have been saved without legal tender notes, and Jones answered promptly that without them It would have been saved at a cost of less than a thousand millions.

During the period of five weeks intervening between Hay 20th and June 10th, 1871, at which date the fishing eeased, owing to the high temperature of the water, the total number of mature Shad caught Was 1643, from which 5,744,000 pawn were extracted. In the year 1870 upwards of young Shad were turned loose in the Hudson, which, together with the 3.000,000 fry pat in since, mast eventually increase the annual supply, inasmuch as heretofore the entire yield of the Hudson has 1,000.000. Three years sgo the Shad fisheries of the Hudson were so ran down that very few of them were paying, and many fishermen had discontinued their labors. The yield for the last two years have, however, improved, and with the anaistanoe of a proper law, establishing a weekly closing, there is no doubt but that the fisheries can be restored to their original condition. From the Railway Monitor we learn that 4190 miles of railway were built in this country during we year 1Si3.

He is Acquitted of nil Blame by tbe Police Commissioners. The case of Captain I. W. Lees, charged by B. F.

Napthaly with having acted in a manner unbecoming an officer, on the first of last February, In the Sun office, in this city, came up for examination yesterday before tbe Police Commis sioners. The prosecuting witness testified that Captain Lees and Charles De Young went together to the rear of the Suit office, and then came to he front, when Michael De Young beckoned to him to come to him; that the three then went quietly np-stairs, where Michael De Young broke open the door, and Captain Lees made no attempt to prevent the act; that the Captain then, without the authority of law, or without a warrant, arrested the printers, and left them in the custody of Sergeant Ward, for two hours, while he went out with Charles De Young to hunt np Judge Louderback to obtain a proper warrant. Mr. Charles De Young said that he requested Captain Lees to accompany him to the Sun office, as he thought It best that an officer should be on the ground to prevent any disturbance which might occur. W.

A. Bushnell, a printer, said that he and other men employed on the Sun, were placed un der arrest by Captain Lees and kept in a room for two hours and a half, and that be was not permitted to leave. He said that no damage was done in the office by the Captain, and that beyond the arrest there was nothing out of the way In tbe conduct of the Captain. Captain Lees read an extract from Bishop's Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure in defence of his act, In which the following appeared: "An officer may confine prisoners until the heat of passion is oyer. An officer may detain a prison.

er In a house until the next day if the time is un seasonable. Constables have authority without warrant to arrest those whom tbey see 'engaged in an affray, and detain them until they obtain sureties. If a person ia present when another is committing a crime, it is incumbent upon him to do something to prevent the crime, aand fail ing in this, to bring the criminal to justice. Captain Lees said that he knew that these men were la the act of re-setting a criminal libel. and acted accordingly.

The Captain said that this was bis case, and be asked that the charges be dissmiseed. The Board, after a few minutes' deliberation, on motion of the Chief of Police, unanimously dismissed the complaint against the Captain. BEST OS RECORD. "Lady Mae" Tret Five Miles in 13 Minutes.

She is In a delicate condition, and the man who could raise his hand againBt her now must be a veritable brute. She said that on Tuesday night he came home drunk, as ususl, and began abusing her. He struck her several times, and finally she ran out of the house, fearful that he would kill her. He fre quently abases her children and sends them oat in the cold.

He had often said that he was wil ling to go to Jail for her death. The poor woman said that she did not wish to prosecute him, but she desired that he be made to promise that he would cease abasing her. The charge against him was dismissed. John Leery, another wife beater, was not let off so easy to-day. He waa ordered to pay a fine of (60.
