Whe Board of Examiners Decide that Miss Gliman’s Certificate was Not . . @btrined through Fraud—Further , Particulars Regarding the Case. The Board of Examiners of Nevada county,have decided that the proof ., submitted is insufticient to show that Migs Lucy A. Gilman,. the VaHejo school teacher, obtained her certificate—in_this county two years. or more ago through the fraudulert assistance of Prof. C. H. Crowell, as has been charged by A. M. Good= == yough;-the San Francisco mus ic deal. er. After able arguments by EW. ting Roberts for the prosecution and C, W. Cross forthe defense, the case was submitted at 6 Pp. Mm. ‘Wednesday , to the Board, which adjourned’ until 7:30 o'clock, aud upon then meeting considered the case‘ in its various earings. After a brief discussion of the salient points in the testimony, a ballot was taken which resulted ir the acquital of Miss Gilman, and the adoption of the following: M@eos Crry, Aug. 6th, 1$79. We, the undersigned members. of the Board of Examination of Nevada. «ounty, have carefally examined the evidence presented by A. M. Goodnough regarding the validity of the 2d Grade Oounty Certificate obtained ‘hy Lucy A. Gilman at the June examination-of 1877 in Nevada county,and find the charges not sustained. Geo. E. Ropinson, Co, Supt.J. G. O'NEILL, ° 2 Mas,H. A. DovGias, N. KENNEDY, : Members Board of Eduéation. There is no room for doubt but the Board of Examiners have acted ina spirit of fairness befitting thoir position. This matter of “establishing the fact that a school teacher’s. certificate should for any reason be revoked is almost as difficult as it is to . preve that a witness cannot be believed under oath. As to Goodnough’s object in securing the dethroning of Miss Gilman, the. memorandum pub. * lished elsewhere as well as the other ~ testimony introduced at the trial seem to indicate that it is not so much to spite. Miss Gilman, as it is to vindicate his word before the ValI¢jo Board of Education towhose ears the charges he had previously made regarding her certificate had been communicated. Whether -the defendant or comphainant are playing a deep game in this affair—anud certain it is that perjury has “been committed by some one “during the examinatien—we.are of the’ firm opinion that more astounding facts will yet be unearthed concerning it than have. thus far been dreamed of.— Meanwhile all criticism calculated to create prejudice against either party will be.abstained from by the LVRANSCRIPT. \Ovunty Court.

Then he enlarged upon the subject, and the-audience set out to drown hisstentorian tones by beating on dry -goods boxes, tin pans and otherwise, filling the air with discordant noises. All this did not crush the orator, and shortly he was addressing the listeners asa full-fledged WorkingSaid he ‘‘Denis Kearney will come here soon, and then you folks will see in honest man, the greatest in the world,” Finally some one slipped up and turned off the gas, and another person threw a bunch of tire-crackers at his feet. The great man retircd amit the hooting-and screaming of the amused crowd. Yesterday morning he came in and asked the reporter what the latter intended to say about the speech. Ele obtained no information on the point and left a circular signed by Newton,Booth, Timothy Guy Phelps, M. M. Estee, and other .great men whom he said were his intimate friends. The circular se's forth that Due is unable to dohard work . because of great weakness of the back,”’ “general perveus prostration” and being in “slim bealth.” They.he presented -the--admiring _réporter with a little pamphlet entitled: ‘‘A Lecture on Marriage by» Professor Stephen Doe.” The —reéipieht—was si ised to peruse the work with care and buy a through ; ticket to Salt Lake, if he was really in search of happiress, With the’ remark that “The Gospel hope is .ny hope and if I speak again I'll give ’em that instead of that consarned: talk about politics,” he left the sanctum witha polite bow, Later--The Professor dropped ‘in an hour later to say that after all he had made wp Ids mind that Kearney and Glenn and A), Burrows and all the rest of the leading Workingmen and H.

Memoranda of a conversation held in San Francisco between Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Goodnongh of 24 O’Farfall street, San Francisco, and Mr. of Nevada County, Cal., on JuLly 12th, 1879, establishing the fact [that the certificate of Miss Lucy Gil man, school teacher of Vallejo, Cal., was optained by the unlawful assistance of said Mr. in Nevada City, Cal., during the month of June, 1877, according to confession of the said Lucy Gilman.and words to Mrs. A. M. Goodnough. Witnesses overhearipg this conversation, Charles Klein of San Francisco, Cal., and Chas. Edelmau, detective officer of the City of San Francisco, Cal. SALIENT POINTS. _ Mr.Goodnough recited to Mr. ) assisting Lucy Gilman to ebtain her certiticate as school teacher, and that he (Mr. ~) gave her (Lucy Gilman) the questions, and worked with her till midnight, each-day of examination, and also how she treated him after his hard work, refusing to; pay the money agreed upon. His, Mr. -——s reply was substantially, ‘:Yes, her couduct was base, but what I did for her was from a good motive. I never expect much gratitude in this world anyway, and—never-work for it.” Healso stated in resporise ‘to Mr. G.’s inquiry, that he sent Miss Gilman.a letter about ten days before (about July 2d, 1879,) couched vERBATIM in--the -same language he, (Mr. ——) had , previously read it to Mr. and Mrs. G., in their store, 24 O’Farrall street, San-Krancisco, advy her to go away from Vallejo, » she had made so much trouble for Mr. and Mrs. G., aud thereby gave her certificate, or they would surely have it revoked, as they felt deeply-wronged, and_were in _possession of dangerous facts. He (Mr. -<—-) further stated that she came to San Francisco to see him after receiving this letter, and said it would be ruin for her to resign and leave Vallejo, as ‘that would ‘be a virtual acknowledgment of lier guilt; and she further said that Mr. and Mrs. G. could only take herertificate away, anyhow if -she STAYED in Vallejo. She seemed determined, he said, to fight it out, hoping that she might “weather it. through,” and ifthe worst vame to the worst she could study up and get another certificate, for she was afraid to teach on the certificate she had got-from Nevada County. Besides, it had not been recognized in Solane County, as the law requires, and she meant to study up and get another one. At this point in the conversation Mr. G. urged him, (Mr. ) te go privately to ongpf the Trustees of the Vallejo schoo! board, extract a pledge of secrecy, aud reveal the fact of-his assisting Miss Gilman to get her certificate, thereby saving Mr. G. from being put in the light of a deliberate . liar; when he,(Mr. ——) replied, that she (Miss Gilman) might not leave Vallejo, even THEN, as perhaps the trustees would not take action in the ma.ter. Mr. G. then said, ‘never mind,” it would at least convince one of the Board that I told the truth, and be a leaven working in my favor,” Mr. G. also said that he would get Mr. Farnham or Mr. Rutherford of the Vallejo Board to pledge themselves in advance not to reveal his naine, and it seemed to Mr. G. the Least he (Mr. ) could do for Him under the circumstances. He admitted that Mr. G. was wholly in the right and Miss Gilman wholly in the wrong; but added no ‘ guarantee could be given me that it would not come back on me and cover me with mud,” adding, ‘“To spite Miss Gilman I don't want to sacrifice myself.” He further said. that if the truth came out he would be sure to be “dragged through the mud,” repeating this expression two or three times, also using the words ‘‘sacrifice myself” THREE DIFFERENT TES, He further said that Messrs, Rutherford & Farpham WOULD. HAVE No INTEREST TO KEEP HIS NAME SECRET, Mr. G. urged that they were very reliable men.and that if they promised secrecy, he felt sure they WocLD keep their word. But he, Mr. ——, added several times that there was no ‘‘guarantee of that.” He covip NoT, and WvULD not do it, being afraid to do so. And said that what he had done, and the assistance he had rendered her (Miss Gilman) was done from a i motive. He said further that he would like to help Mr. G., yet could not ‘sacrifice himself” nor see his way clear at present; but he advised Mr. G. wait and ever and see what could be done. ‘Mr. G. made very prominent the tact that he wanted to save Mr. —— and that this was the reason he had delayed opening the case so long. Mr. G. also said that the 4tetters he, Mr. G—-, had bearing on the case would bring uni, Mr. ——, an ar be patient ‘and he would think it; mere om 2 oncE, to which he.acquiesced. locked up on his, Mr. 3 account.**And implored him te save him, Mr. G.,"frofh the disgrace he, Mr. G., was aow in, by a confession ‘of the entire facts in the matter to at least onE of the Vallejo school board, saying, as it is Mr. you base liar, when you know Iam _ only asserting the’strict truth and that: in self-defense.” Mr. —,—* answered “HE°WELL KNEW It” and felt for him;-Mr. G., deeply. But asked him to wait patiently as when he,’Mr, ——, got out of Nevada Co. he diil not.care what was done, but he had a family and could not ‘‘sacrifice himself.” He said he expected to leave Nevada Co. this year and come down to 8. F. and intimated that if Mr. G, would wait till that time he would accede to his request. But Mr. G. did not withdraw his request about confessing the facts to -at-least one of the Vallejo board that-he—prp render unlawful assistance to Miss in.obtaining her ce¥titicate, and that Mr. G. had not MISTATED ANYTHING, as he Mr, —— left the store he promised to think it over and asked_ when Mer, Rutherford or Mr. Farnham would be down from Vallejo. He promised to think this step over well‘or if could he only do it safely he would be glad todo so,To HELP Mr. GoopNoucH.

A. schoolmistress in a neighboring township, who had long been annoyed by the perversities of a male pupil nineteen years old, on the closing day of the term kept him in and undertook to whale him. He, however, disarmed her, andreturned several kisses for each blow. The schoolmistress, unable to forgive this breach of discipline, looked at him sternly in the face, and shaking her forefinger at him in a menacing manner said solemnly: ‘Willian, I will give yeu precisely fifteen minutes to stop hugging me, aud if you disobey me I shail punish you severely.” Tompson aNpD West's ILLustRaTED Hrsrory oF Nevapa Covsty will contain a separate history of each Township from the pioneer times to the present day. * — Michigan has appropriated $12,000 to establish a cheat wien girls may learn certain ranches of the pursuits ef agriculture or farming business, The idea is not an entirely new one, asin Germany, particularly, attention is given to instructing girls: in matters pertaining to the dairy.
