of having ^murdered Dennis Bennett 38
yeara ago, promises to be one of the most
striking cases in the criminal calendar of
this coast. The facts are these
On April 22nd,1850, Dennie Bennett was
shot dead ,,at the door of his house at
Oyante, in 'Bran.iiforte (now Santa Cruz)
county. Several Witnesses -namely, one
Dennis Connor, James Robinson and Mr.
Hoyt-werein the Nue ;at the time and
testified that they saw the murder com-
mitted by Jesse P. Graham. Other wit-
nesses -to wit, Mansell Bennett, Jackson
Bennett, Mary Bennett, Mary Ann Bennett
110 Julia Bennett -were before the grand
jury and gave evidence in corrobbration.
On this an indictment wasfound; which
was signed by William T. Wallace, then
District Attorney, since Chief Justice of
the State, and now Judge Of Department
No. 6 of the Supreme Court in this city:
That indictment is , still on file in the
county clerk's office at Santa Ortiz, For
somereason or other Graham was never
brought to triallor•the murder:: Here the
stories diverge: * surviving relative of
the murdered man says that.Graham. fled,
and remained in hiding for several months
in the Santa Crtiz mountains, where he
was supplied with food by his father. ;
that three years afterward he was oaptered.
in Tuolumne county, but that the cap-
tors were induced to surrender him to
his father in exchange for 55,000; that he
then escaped to Texas, where he lived many
years; that he finally returned to Southern
California; that he went by the mime of
Jones.' On.the other hand; friends of the
Prisoner says that he never was in. hiding;
that he lived unmolested at Santa Cruz for
over six months after the finding of the
indictment i that he has repeatedly visited
that Place since, under his own name,' with-
out interference from any one; that he has
frequently Met' members ; of the -Bennett
family -the -,,witnesses ,against him -and
was never denounced by them: Itis notice-
able that, so far as appears,: the prisoner's
friends de not deny that he killed Bennett:
Ole peculiarity of the case, which mains
to command more attention in Santa Cruz
country than it would do,here, is that
the prisoner is said to relyupon the•ftiot
that the alleged murder was committed
before California was a State of the -Union
and that, therefore . he cannot be 'trial

from popular innovation. I heave tried to
obtain from thoge who know the'Prinoess
of Wales well the secret of her greet popu-
larity.* She is not a brilliant woman, she
has itever written anything, and in con-
versation she oeverininreenes anyone with.
the idea of her having any partieular
originality or striking, force of character.
In ordinary society, without the advantage
of her position, she would make but little
impression. She is excessively ladylike
and refined. She has a most notriellous
beatity,. which chiefly consists legtilat
features, it. fair complexien and a perfectly
serene and placid expression. The
most remarkahle feature of her good
looks is the • preservation of her
youthful. appearance. In tho,. broad glare
of daylight she looks to -day as young if not
younger than her eldest daughter. Her
figure is ai00 SliM and slight as that of a
young girl. She armee. with entiisite
taste and Appears to .enjoy general society
very much. , The secret of her popular
charm is said to be this: She has the rare
and-gradous-faculty-- of- impressing -people
who come in contact with her in the visual
meeting of a general reception or it levee,
with her genuine cordiality. People who
have been presented to her and who have. -
simply seen her bow and smile, and per.
haps have heard a half dozen Words of
commonplace greeting, are the ones who '
are the most wildly enthusiastic over her.
Her bearing before the public constitutes •
her chief cherni. Every one led to
believe that she is the most gracious and
winning personage in the kingdom. It is
this ontwerd. suggestion upon the part of
vn3 Prinemeof Wales of brilliaitt redone -
nem that has capitiVirld an prong y
charmed the British public: Thoee
who know her best - say that a
more intimate acquaintance with her '
does net bear out the. ptiblkt
