UNIVERSITY EVENTS
D. M. Delmas represented Jensen
throughout the two former trials, while
the interests of the railway were looked
out for bv the late. \V. H. L.. Barnes.
Dunne has now taken Barnes" place. Del
mas had nbt proceeded far in hi? address
when he had occasion to refer to the evi
dence given at the former trials, and in
stating the distance the train was away
from Jensen- when ne was first seen he
was contradicted by Dunne, who asserted
that he was misstating the testimony.
Delmas scorned the first few sallies of
Dunne, but toward the end of the argu
ment he turned and objected to the ac
tion of opposing counsel "in attempting
to tell him about a case he had been fa
miliar with for years."
The Judge called for order and announc
ing that he would read the testimony for
himself, and that he wouH consider the
arguments at an end. he adjourned court.
Robert. Jensen was Injured by a train
in Alameda in 1894? He and his wife had
had a uuarrel and he boarded a train
under the pretense that he waa going to
San Francisco. He did not remain on
the train, but got off on the side farthest
from the station and waa struck by a
train coming from the mole. He brought
suit against the railroad company for
$15,000 damage? and was given a verdict
be a jury for $10,000. The railway ob
tained a new trial and the next jury gave
Jensen nothing. Jensen is now making
a motion for another trial of the case.
The. old Jensen case against the South
ern Pacific Company was revived to-day
and a heated argument took place, be
tween Attorneys D. M. Delmas and Peter
F. Dunne of San Francisco over a motion
for a new trial before Judge Hall. Delmas
resented what he termed the impertinence
of Dunne in' trying to tell him about a
case in which he had been interested for
years.

Since assuming charge of St, Joseph's
parish six years ago Father Foley has
endeared himself to every one with whom
he has had to do by his true Christian
charity toward all, irrespective of creed
or nationality; his love of Justice and in
nate kindness of heart. Of late years his
health has not bepn rugged and he has,
from time to time, been forced to re
linquish his pastoral duties. During t&ese
enforced absences from his charge the
affairs of St. Joseph's parish have been
directed by Rev. ,T. J. O'Connell, as
sistant to Father Foley. On the testi
monial committee which secured and ar
ranged the presentation to Father Foley
to-night were the following active work
ers:
It was a trying moment for P'ather
Foley and it was with the utmost diffi
culty that he controlled the feelings that
welled from his heart and nought expres
sion beyond the power of words. Impres
sively he voiced his gratitude toward
every member of his flock— not for the
money, he said, but for the loyal spirit
of love for and faith in him, which, he
felt, prompted the action and which he
valued more highly than any coin of
earth.
of St. Joseph's Church, in Lafay
ette Hall to-night. So quietly and quickly
had the testimonial been created by the
members of his flock that the well beloved
priest knew nothing of the purse move
ment, which was Inaugurated cue week
ago. When he reached here to-night in
response to an urgent telephone message
sent him in the Santa. Clara Valley, where
he was sojourning because of illness, he
was surprised to find nearly three hun
dred of his parishioners awaiting him in
Lafayette Hall. He was doubly surprised
and completely overcome when, after be
ing escorted to the platform. Colonel J. J.
Tobin, on behalf of the members of St.
Joseph's Church, handed the pastor a

The fiendish tormentors of little Mary
Silva of Orinda Park are supposed to be
in San Francisco and Sheriff Veal© of
Contra Costa County has about given up
hope of bringing them to justice.
The most authentic .news of the brutes
was unearthed to-day in Point Richmond,
where a Santa Fe Railroad man told the
officers that two men tallying exactly
with the description of the criminals had
taken the ferry for San Francisco on the
night the crime "was committed. This rail
road man said that two men" met him
about 9:30 o'clock and | asked when the
next boat went to San Francisco. He told
them 10:43 o'clock, and at that hour he
saw thrm go aboard the ferry.
Sheriff Veale spent all day following up
clews, as he has done ever since getting
word of the attack on Mary Silva, but with
out any positive results. The clew he fol
lowed to Temescal last night proved to be
a false scent and no arrests were made,
as the suspects were able to prove an
alibi.

Chief Hodgkins is allowing his prisoner
free rein so far as his requests for food
and tobacco go. The Chief goes on the
theory that Walkirez has probably a com
paratively short time to live and that he
must be given proper treatment while he
is in police charge.
George Flood, the colored machinist,
who lived at the Leroy house, has hied
claim of ownership to most of the per
sonal effects therein contained. Public Ad
ministrator Gray had no desire to combat
the claim, but has told. Flood to make
proof in court. The property consists
mainly of household furnishings, which
Flood says he purchased from time to
time, but allowed Mrs. Leroy, his foster
mother, to use. Flood bears an excellent
reputation among both colored and white
people who know him. ' • .
The result is that the murderer's break
fast consisted of a large beefsteak, half
a dozen fried eggs, potatoes In quantity
and a large measure of black coffee-
After he had indulged his fancy in that
substantial meal the prisonersettled.back
on his cot and smoked cigarettes inces
santly for an hour. . He appeared to be
the picture of contentment.
His recuperation so quickly after the
experiences of the night gave rise to sus
picions that the epileptic attacks were not
so genuine as they appeared to the
watchers at the cell. Health Officer von
Adelung, who was called to attend Wal
kirez at 2 o'clock this morning, declared
his opinion that the patient was sham
ming.
On top of that comes the report to the
police that Dr. J. J. Medros, medical ex
aminer for the United States pension bu
reau, certified in Walkirez's application
for a pension that the discharged soldier
was subject to epilepsy. «
Either Victor Walkirez, the slayer of
aged Elizabeth Leroy. is feigning or he
possesses a remarkable physical "composi
tion. For twelve hours last night he ap
parently suffered intermittent, attacks of
epilepsy, during which he was in (most
violent paroxysms, throwing three or four
stalwart policemen about his cell as if
they were children.
His violent actions continued until 6
o'clock this morning, • when Walkirez
dropped off to sleep, awaking about 11
o'clock, quiet and easy and with a raven
ous appetite. He was ready for the first
time» since his arrest to eat heartily, and
Chief of Police Hodgklns ordered the jail
ers to give Walkirez all that he desired-
