	FIGHTING OFF DEATH
Police Officer Arlington Still Lives But is Unconscious
Little Hope for His Recovery - Annie Manning’s Will - Result of the Autopsy
 The terrible tragedy in which Police Officer William ARLINGTON was shot by his 
mistress, Annie MANNING, who afterward shot herself ,was the talk of the city 
yesterday.
  Everybody knew the popular officer, and all liked him.
  Despite the fact that the doctors pronounced Arlington’s wounds fatal, he is 
still alive, and may live for several days yet. Some even believe that he may 
get well. City Physician NICHOLS said that while he considered that the wounded 
officer did not have
	ONE CHANCE IN A HUNDRED
To survive the effects of the deadly bullet, yet there had been cases in his 
practice in which persons had recovered from just such wounds. Of course, there 
is no hope of ever extracting the bullet, and if the officer recovers he will 
always carry the bullet in his brain.
  Hosts of the wounded officer’s friends called at the police station yesterday 
with the expectation of seeing him, but in each case they were denied admission 
into the hospital, the doctor having left strict orders in this regard. The 
sufferer has to be kept as quiet as possible, and there is noise enough about 
the place caused by passing trains, without that which would be added by 
visitors.
  A nurse is in constant attendance, and everything is being done to make the 
wounded man as comfortable as possible. He is still unconscious. At times he 
appears to rally and to recognize those about him but he cannot speak.
	ANNIE MANNING’S DEATH
 The remains of Annie Manning are still at the morgue. Yesterday afternoon Dr. 
G.A. WHITE, assisted by Drs. C.B. NICHOLS and G.C. SIMMONS, performed an 
autopsy on the body. Dr. White submitted the following report of the autopsy to 
Coroner George CLARK, and it will be produced at the inquest:
 “In the presence of Drs. G.C. Simmons and C.B .Nichols, I this day held an 
autopsical examination of the body of Annie Manning, deceased. There was found 
a gunshot wound upon the right temple and a slight wound upon the chin. The 
bullet which made the wound of entrance was felt beneath the scalp upon the 
opposite side of the head, and several fragments of bone, crushed out by the 
passing ball, were felt in the immediate neighborhood of the ball.
	FRACTURED IRREGULARLY
 “Upon raising the scalp the skull was found to be fractured irregularly in its 
entire circumference. The ball passed transversely through the two hemispheres 
of the brain, tearing away the upper part of the corpora striata. The wound of 
entrance was irregular in shape, one and one-half inches in length by 
measurement. No power-marks were observed n the skin, but powder discoloration 
was noticed in the temporal muscle beneath, indicating that the muzzle of the 
pistol was placed against the temple. The great size of this wound was caused 
by laceration from powder explosion.
  “The slight wound seen on the chin was probably caused by falling upon the 
corner of a piece of furniture or other hard object. No other wounds or 
abrasions were found upon the body. The wound was necessarily fatal and death 
must have been instantaneous.”
	THE WOMAN’S WILL
 The will of Annie Manning was filed in the County Clerk’s office yesterday for 
probate. It is a brief and simple document. In it the testator says: “I give 
and bequeath unto my mother, Mrs. William MEYERS, of 121 Lafayette street, 
Stockton, Cal., all the property, both real and personal, of every kind and 
nature which I own, or may have or own at the time of my death, absolutely and 
unconditionally to her.”
  The mother of the deceased is also named in the will as executrix of the 
estate without bonds. The will was drawn up just a year ago.
  Accompanying the will is Mrs. Meyer’s petition for letters of administration. 
She estimates the value of the estate at $5,000. It consists of household 
furniture, jewelry and money in bank.

	EX-CONVICTS
The Police Will Henceforth be Provided With Their Portraits
  When a convict is discharged form the Folsom Prison hereafter his portrait 
and record will be in the possession of Chief of Police DREW, as Warden AULL 
has consented to furnish them. A better plan would be for the Warden to notify 
the police here when discharged convicts are put upon the cars, so that the 
officers may be able to identify the men. Unless the photographs are taken at 
the time the men are released, it will in many cases be difficult, if not 
impossible to identify the men, as prison life works great changes in them.
  There can be no doubt that most of the crimes committed here are the work of 
ex-convicts, and it certainly would be a great aid to the police to be able to 
identify each discharged prisoner that stops over here.

	THE WILY CHINEE
It Costs Ah Chung Fifty Dollars to Give Opium to a Prisoner.
  In the Police Court yesterday Ah CHUNG, a Chinaman who was caught in the act 
of giving a member of the chain-gang some opium, was ordered to pay a fine of 
$50, or in default to serve twenty-five days in jail.
  Joe WALCH was convicted of disturbing the peace of Charles YATES, and will be 
sentenced to-day. Yates, against whom a counter charge had been filed by Walch, 
was discharged.
  M.E. FAGG was fined $5 for disturbing the peace of W.F. KUHNIE.
  The cases of J. ROCKEY, charged with petit larceny, and Ling KEE, charged 
with embezzlement, were dismissed.
  Ed. Emerson was fined $30 for disturbing the peace on Fourth of July night, 
and Joe FARREN was taxed $5 fir a similar offense.

	Installation of Officers
 District Deputy Grand Councilor A. SCHOEMAKER installed the officers of 
Sacramento Council, No. 96, O.C.F., on Wednesday evening. The hall was well 
filled by members of the order and friends. An interesting programme, 
consisting of recitations and instrumental music was well rendered, after which 
those who desired remained to enjoy a dance.
  On Wednesday evening the Olive Branch Ladies’ Benevolent Society held an 
installation and entertainment at Pioneer Hall. The programme consisted of

Miss Eva EVANS, and recitations, etc., by Dr. CURTIS, who also sang “Robinson 
Crusoe.”

	In Court Again
  James RUTHERFORD filed papers in the County Clerk’s office yesterday in a 
suit for divorce from his wife, Louisa. He charges her with desertion. Recently 
the wife instituted suit for divorce from Rutherford on the ground of cruelty, 
but when the case came on for trial she could not produce the testimony 
necessary, and he was granted a non-suit.

	Fire on the Riverside Road
  While N. MENKE and a friend were driving on the Riverside road last evening 
they saw a fire in a house about a mile this side of Oak Hall. They hitched
