10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1896. DEAN'S FRIENDS FROM NEW JERSEY. They Were Arrested by the Police in Newark Yesterday. SECRECY IS EXPLAINED. Charles Becker and James Cree- gan Wanted for the Nevada Bank Forgery. EXTRADITION PAPERS READY Detectives Seymour and Whittaker Will Start To-Night to Bring the Crooks Here. The two men who were indicted by the Grand Jury last ¥riday and about whom g0 much secrecy was maintained were arrested sterd morning in New: N. J., and Detectives Seymour and W taker will leave to-night with the neces- sary papers for their extradition. Tbe en are C les Becker and James both knowun to the police of two the princes of forgers. They cted last Friday for the forgery § 00 check on December 17 last Nevada Bank and for which A. H. Dean is now in the City Prison awaitiug trial. Speaking of the matter y noon Cantain Lees terday after- ‘Becker and | sa egan fled from here on December 18 to | | New York. Ever since then, in conjur tion with the Pinkertons and the Banker Protective Association at its heaquarters in New York, I have been endeavoring at this point to collect sufficient evidence to procure that indictment. 1 succeeded and the result was the finding of the indict- ment. > “Any previous publications on the mat- ter bave been made without my knowledge | | or consent in any shape or form against the interests of was absolutely necessary men should be arrested before any knowl- that indicted and to be and were | on of these publications tl ld not get them. In fact they did n their usual haunts in Brook! w Jersey, and there concealed them- It required the utmost efforts of the | nkertons and onsolidated ba | ch them. They had all preparations | de to_flee from New Jersey, by way o ntreal or Quebec, to Europe. Every eifort made, and with success, to pre- vent that and arrest them before their t. I am fully satisfied that if the publica- | tion here had been repeated in the New so that the two men could see s to arrest them would nov have succeeded. The parties in New York | seemed to have more influence with the ers there than I have with the papers v succeeded in keeping the As- | dispatches from being pub- | hed by direct intercession with the pay and the result is the arrest of the two men. “I have been assisted in my efforts by Detectives Seymour and W hittaker, and desire to give them credit for what they have done.” A large amount of telegraphic corre- spondence has passed between Captain Lees and the Pinkertonsin regard to the | arrest of Becker and Creegan. They were | arrested in Philadelphia two o:r three weeks ago and the money, $1640, found upon them was attached and Captain Lees will b; z suit for its recovery. Yesterday morning the captain was de- lighted to receive a dispatch from Robert Pinkerton, New York, as follows: *Have just caused arrest of Becker and | Creezan in Newark, who are being held by | the police, but may be discharged unless | rest. The men had money and had em- ploved attorneys.” The captain at once sent a reply that the two men had been indicted by the Grand Jury and the extradition papers were be- Ing got ready. He had also requested the District Attorney to communicate with the District Attorney at Newark, and | asked that the men be held till the officers arrived with the papers. The captain also wired to Henry Hopper, Chief of Police of Newark, to hold the men at all hazards, and received a reply that they had been committed in defanlt of $15,000 bail for examinaiion on May 20. By that time Seymour and Whittaker will be there with the necessary papers. Governor Budd, who is in the City, promised to telegraph to Governor Griggs of New Jersey to issue the necessary exiradition documents. Captain Lees emphatically denied that anything wasdiscovered from Dean regard- ing Beckerand Creegan’s complicity in the Nevada Bank forgery. It was not true that Dean had ‘“squealed.”” The captain and the Pinkertons had their suspicions from the start as to the identity of the two men and had been working hard since theén to confirm their suspicions. Although the captain declined to say whether or not Becker had been the author of the clever forgery on the London and San Francisco Bank about four years ago it is believed that he was the man. He 1s wanted for forgeries in other places also. Becker is accredited with bemg the prince of forgers. He isan engraver by irade, and-at one time was employed by the Anierican Bauk Note Company. He isabout-50 years of ageand a married man. - He has served two terms in his life- time—one for forging a 1000-franc note on the Bank of France, the plate for which he engraved himself, He got six years and s1x months for this crime in Kings County Penitentiary, N. Y. Previous to that he had been con- victed at Smyrna, Ky., of a large number of forgeries of letters of credit. His com- panions in crime in Smyrna were ivan Siscovitch, Joe Riley, ias Joe Elliott. and Joe Chapman. -While in prison there | they broke jail and made their escape with the exception of Chapman, whom the others deserted. After dodging the poiice for some time Becker, Liscovitch and Riley succeeded in escaping in a small sailing vessel-and arrived in London, Eng- land. They went to lodge with Joe Chapman’s wife at Chelsea, near London, and she was found murdered one morning in her house. The London police believed that Sisco- vitch murdered her and stole her jewelry. He fled to the United Siates, and the London volice issued a large circular about the murder and offering a reward for Biscovitdh's arrest. In April, 878, Captain Lees went from bere to Cincinnati on receipt of a telegram that two mon had been arrested there. He identified Siscovitch, and be got twelve ears in the penitentiary. The Scotland Yard authorities did not want him, as the evidence against him was but slim. Creegan is a bachelor. Iu company with Jim rrell, John Flanigan and Jobn Gilbert, alias W. Galbraith, all well-known forgers, he was arrested in Baltimore, Md., under the name of James Russo, for forg- ing a check on the Merchants’ National Bank for $270. He was convicted on Feb- ruary 3, 1885, and got 6 years and six months, Subsequently he and Jim Far- lin { work, and_detectives and police R AN\ R JAMES CREEGAN. CHARLES BECKER, rell were arrested in New York on April 18, 1890, and discharged afterward. = > CAUGHT IN NEWARK. How the New Jersey Police Madel the Arrest. The following telegram from Newark was received last evening: NEWARK, N. J., May 13.—Five months’ work by several Pinkerton detectives un- der the direction of the American Bank- ers’ Association culminated this afternoon the arrest in this city by Policeman Loftus at Market and Broad streets of Charles Becker and James Cregan, the lead of the guartet of swindlers who last mber obtained $20,000 in gold from the Nevada Bank of San Francisco on a check which they haa raised from $22 to $22,000 under the name of A. H. | Holmes. One of the gang, believed to be | 3ecker, had posed in San Francisco as a broker. Pinkerton’s men were at once put to epart- ments all over the country were notified. Two weeks ago the men were spotted in Philadelphia, and were arrested. They employed a sharp lawyer who, though | they were held five days, secured their re- | lease before the necessary information to warrant the police in holding them could | be obtained. The men separated in Phil- delphia, and for several days all trace of | them was lost. Becker was'finally located in Brooklyn, but he kept under cover un- til Sunday, when one of the Pinkerton men saw him at Coney Island and ftol- | lowed him to this city. Becker went this | morning to the Park House, where Cregan | stopping, and when they emerged the it were followed and arrested. Becker's object in coming to this city was to assist in recovering from the Phila- deiphia police $1200 which was taken from them when they were arrested there. | Cregan had a typewritten aflidavit pre- pared which he had signed and to which Becker was to affix his signature in the presence of a notary. They were on their wav to the notary’s office when arrested. Cregan attempted to drop the envelope, but was prevented from doing so by De- tective Failon, who with four other Pinker- tons was in at the arrest. At the arrest Cregan pretended to be in- dignant and was about to resist. The | Pinkertons closed in and Loftus threat- ened to crack his head with a blackjack. so he went quietly to police headquarters. When they were searched about §100 worth of jewelry was found on them. Becker had about §150 in money and Cregan hada | $1000 bill and twelve $100 bills concealed | about his underclothes, and in his trousers’ | lining he also had enough loose money tol make up 3 When arraigned before Judge Mott late | this afternoon they would say nothing. | Ex-Senator M. T. Barrett appeared for | them. He demanded that they be ac corded an examination on the ground that their ident is a matter of grave doubt, as they not admitted that they are | the men wanted in San Francisco. | The examination will be held next | Wednesday. Meanwhile they are being | confined in the Essex County jail under | $15,000 bail each pending the arrival of of- | ficers and extradition papers from Califor- nia, where they were indicted last week. Austin Van Gieson, the local representa- tive of the American Bankers’ Association, | has already taken steps to attach the money and jewelry taken from the pris- oners. The Pinkerton men say there is no | doubt about the identity of Becker and« Cregan with the Nevada Bank swindle. The Newark police last night received a | telegram from the San Francisco police re- questing that Becker and Cregan be held atall hazards, and stating that officers have already started for Newark with extradi tion papers. A telegram was also re-; ceived by Governor Griggs of New Jersey | last night from the Governcr of California | requesting that papers be granted in New ersey. Prosecutor Crance of Newark also received telegraphic notice from the prosecutor of San Francisco explaining the above facts and asking that he, too, aid in having Becker and Cregan held un- til the California officers arrive. STRANGLED AND ROBBED Mrs. Mary Crowley Almost Choked Into Insensibility | by Frank Neil. | | | | | | | She Was Rescued in Time by a Special Officer, Who Placed Neil Under Arrest. Mrs. Mary Crowley, who lives at 812 Jessie street, was strangled and robbed by Frank Neil, a young man 24 years of age, who gives his occuvation as an oiler, at an early hour yesterday morning. Mrs. Crowley had been visiting her sis- ter-in-law. and on her way home went into the grocery on the corner ot Kighth and Clementina streets about 1 o’clock vester- | day morning and had a glass of beer. She | met Neil there and he said he would see her home. They left the grocery about 2 o'clock, and when they reached Carlo- | mine street, a small alley running off Fol- som street, between Ninth and Tenth, Neil snatched her purse out of her pocket, grabbed her by the throat with both hands and forced her to the ground. She screamed with pain and fear and her screams were heard by Specisl Officer Seguine, who was not far away, and he ar- rested Neil. On being searched at the police station Mrs. Crowley’s purse, which contained $3 75, was found in his pocket and he was bookea on the charge of robbery. Mrs. Crowley was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital. She was suffering intensely from the pain in her throat and was expec- torating biood. Her lips were swollen and she said Neil struck her on the mouth while she was on the ground. Dr. Rinne attended to her injuries and yesterday she was able to leave the hospi The marks of Neil’s fingers were prnmly visible on her throat. She went before Judge Joachimsen aund swore to a complaint charging Neil with robbery. Neil says he recently arrived from Wyoming. He denies robbing Mrs. Crow- ley and says she gave him her purse, but he does not explain why he tried to strangle her. ———————— The beginning of African slavery in this country was in 1619, when twenty negroes were brought from Africa to Virginia by a Ifutch ship and sold to the colonies as slaves, and the | stated : | afford the manufac: ON THE EVE OF A BOOM Local Manufacturers Will Help the Fiesta and Big Fair. TO HOLD BOTH TOGETHER. The Association Will Adopt a Trade Mark and Fight Convict-Made Goods. An important meeting of the directors of the Manufacturers' and Producers’ As- sociation was held Tuesday, the principal subjects under consideration being the home-industry fair, the proposed fiesta importation of nvict - made goods from the East. J. W. Kerr, A, Mc- Laughlin and J. P. Currie have been in- vestigating the latter subject and pre- sented the following report on their in- quiries: The committee appointed by you to investi- gate the matter of convict-made goods do here report: That in the course of this investiga- ion we have communicated with all branches of trade in this City, with the officials of our tate prison, with Labor Commissioner Fitz- erald and with many of the officers of other States. We have also started investigation through the various trades unions of this City, who are_deeply interested ifi this work. To place before vou all the information we have received would make this report unnecessarily voluminons. We find that some of these State prisons are practically manufscturing villages, in which are made boots and shoes, clothing, furniture, stoves, bicycles, harness, holloware, in fact everything nearly in the line of manu facture is supplied from these institutions. As the result of our investigation we find convict-made goods from Eastern prisons and from tne State of Oregon are being sold in this market to such an_extent that the growth of our City and State is greatly retarded thereby and the prosperity and standing of our mer- cnandise and manufacturers seriously imper- iled. The true and permanent remedy for the evil lies In proper legislative action and, as you are aware, this board has already moved in that airection. To look for & remedy from this quarter alone means tedious work and de- lay on & matter which demenas. immediate relief, We therefore recommend that efforts to secure the desired legisiation be pressed. We {urtner recommend s & means of secur- ing prompt relief that this association issue a trademerk for California free-iavor goods, said trademark to be protected by the necessary feguards, the right to use this trademark be- ing grented for such time and under such pen- | alties and conditions as will prevent an im- | proper use of the same. In supportof the trade-mark idea we would state thata large portion of our people would gladly discriminate in favor of the free-labor goods of the State, but_sre unable to do so by reason of the fact that the convict-made goods are being placed upon this market by firms of good repute, enjoying public confidence, who do not place any mark or brand upon such | goods, without the purchaser can distinguish them {rom those made by free labor. We would urge upon the assoclation the necessity for earnest work in this direction; that the evil may be corrected, which your committee believe is largely responsible for the feeble condition of many of our manu. facturing interests. The proposition of adoping a trade- mark for all home-made free-labor gonds was favorably considered, but laid over to the next meeting for final action. The special committee appointed to co- vperate with the Mechanics’ Institute trustees in arranging for a home-industry exposition presented a short report upon the progress made. The committee “The matter of co-operating with the Mechanics’ Institute in holding the exposition will be completed by yourgoard appointing a committee of three to act in conjunction with the committee of man- agemen. and exhibiis of the institute.” Chairman M. J. Keller appointed as the commn.ittee J. W. Kerr, H. J. Crocker and Maaazer S. H. Tacy. This makes the ar- rangements between the two organizations complete and the work of preparation for the fair will be begun at once. The subject of the fiesta was introduced in the report of Manager Tacy as follows: An invitation was extended to this associa- tion to send & representative to attend a meet- ing at the Baldwin Hotel on the 11th inst. for the purpose of discussing the advisability of holding a carnival in this City. Representa- tives from a large number of the various or- ganizations in the City were present, your menager representing this association. The idea o1 holding a grand carnival of some sort in San Francisco was unanimously approved ofand & temporary committee of seventeen was appointed to recommend & plan of perma- nent organization, programme of festivities and a time for holding them. Your manager stated that while he could not spesk for your board, that, inasmuch as this association and the Mechanics’ Institute are to hold & grand home products exposition in this City in September, nodoubt your board would approve of and lend any assistance possible 1o & project of that nature, provided it would be held in September of this year. As every effort of this association and the Mechantcs’ Institute will be made to make the exposition & notable event in the history of expositions in this State, and inasmuch as a carnival or fiesta held at that time would at- tracta large number of persons to the City from all over the t, and would therefore and producers of Cal- itornia an exceptional opportunity to mak known to the people of the Coast what they menufacture or produce, your manager would recommend—if it meets your approval—that vour board take some action to-day endorsing the proposition, that the sentiment of this as- sociation may be expressed to the temporary committee at 1ts meeting to be held on the evening of the 14th inst. The members are heartily in favor of the fiesta project and, without doubt, will do all possible to make it a success, but it was decided to leaye this matter in the hands of the committee, consisting of Messrs. Kerr, Crocker ana Manager Tacy. There was a strong desire to have it held at the same time as the home industry fair, be- cause it would induce thousands of people to visit the City in order to kill two birds with one stone, s0 to speak.

LILLAN ASHLEY'S STORY TOLD. Her Direct Examination Ended Yesterday Morning. THE VITAL QUESTION. Judge Slack Ruled Out Inquiries Regarding the Child. WANT MUCH GREATER SECRECY Counsel Is Sure There Is a “Leak,” as the News of the Trial Is Being Told. Miss Ashley was still on the stand when court closed yesterday afternoon. She had finished her direct testimony and was under Mr. Highton’s cross-examination when Judge Slack declared a recess. The direct examination of the witness finished yesterday morning and the only significant fact was the action of the court in sustaining the objection to a very per- tinent question put by Mr. Crittenden. Crittenden asked the witness who was the father of her child. At onceboth defendant’s counsel were on their feet. They objected to the question because it was incompe- tent, irrelevant and immaterial; it was untimely; it bad no bearing on the case and every section that could be brought to support them, whether of code or constitu- tion, was cited. Judge Slack finally sus- tained the objection on the ground that it was untimely. It will come up again, however, and there will undoubtedly be a TOW over it The cross-examination did not progress very far. Mr. Highton when court closed for the afternoon had not yet finished his questions as to how, when and where Miss Ashley and Mr. Baldwin first met. They met at the races in one of the East- ern circuits. Mr. Baldwin seemed much pleased with the appearance of his new friend and a strong friendship grew up be- tween them. He said he would like to see her in California, and she said she would like to come to see him. There was little said or done then that has much bearing on the case now in court. They parted in the East with only a mutual desire to be friends and she promised to write to him when they were separated. The career of Miss Ashley in the East will be more fully taken up as the cross- examination progresses, for the intention of the defense is to prove that when Miss Ashley came to California it was only after at least one very questionable action in the East. A row occurred during the afternoon over some questions which Mr., Highton proceeded to put. He was accused of try- ing to anticipate in his cross-examination matter which properly belonged to his own case. In other words, of making Miss Ashley his own witness for the time being. Words were loud and long, and musty tomes were raked out of the law library; but his objectionable questions were not allowed, and so the case pro- ceeded. Counsel for both sides are somewhat mystified and considerably agitated over the fact that closed doors in a legal sense are no bar to the transmission of news. They found fault with the newspaper re- ports becuuse they were not so full or ac- curate as they would have been had re- porters been allowed to be present; and they were loud in the assertion that there must be a “leak” somewhere. They wanted the doors closed against attorneys who came in with orders to be signed, and deputies from tne clerk’s office who came on errands, but Judge Slack refused to seal his courtroom in any such manner. He is Presiding Judge of the Superior Court, and he has other things besides the Ashley-Baldwin case before him. Counsel is still hunting for the leak, but to prevent further news from gettingout each man in the court was, yesterday, obligated to ab- solute secrec; MAY BOYCOTT TWO LINES The Traffic Asscciation Deter- mined to Fight for Utah Trade. W. B. Curtis Will Go to Denver in the Interest of San Francisco Merchants. The Traffic Association of California has determined to make a fight to the end for Utah business. In the interest of San Francisco merchants the association has concluded that nothing should be left un- done to secure for them their rights in competition with Chicago and St. Louis shippers. All this was decided at a meet- ing of the executive committee yesterday at 214 Pine street. B. F. Dunham of the Dunham, Hayden, —_— Carrigan Company occupied the chair, and several other prominent houses were represented by those present. The principal business considered was the standing of San Francisco with regard to Utah trade. There was no discussion on _the provosition that two railways—the Union Pacific and the Rio Grande West- ern, had discriminated against this City in favor of St. Louis, Chicago, etc. Every member of the committee was satisfied that decisive measures should be taken in the matter, and it was unanimously de- cided to send Traffic Manager W. B. Curtis to Denver to attend a meeting in that city, May 24, at which the subject will be taken up. Mr. Curtis will go as the representa- tive of the Traflic Association, and armed with documents to prove the claim that the two Western raiiways are not acting fairly toward San Francisco. Curtis wul hold that the basis of rates on which the Southern Pacific aims to do business in Utah is just. That company is not asking 100 much, but only what is just and equitable when demanding a rate based on the mileage between all points of shipment, whether San Francisco, Chicago or Mississippi River cities, to common points in Utah. The Traffic Association will hotd that the Western roads should agreeon a basis that would permit the Central Pacific to go into Utah common points with Catifornia shipments. _“We feel contident,” remarked Mr. Cur- tis; “‘that if these two lines should lose on westbound business they would lose far and away more than what they make in this unfair discrimination against us.” _ “Do you mean by that that a threat is implied ?”’ “Oh, no; we don’t want to threaten.” The traffic manager appeared reserved, but his voice suggested more than he said. It is not at all probable that if the Union Pacific and Rio Grande Western refuse to come to terms regarding Utah business they will be boycotted by many of the largest shippers in San Francisco in the | matter of shipments from the East.
