16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1896 LAID BARE THE LIVING BRAI, A Delicate Operation Per- formed on Robert Rockwitz. CURED HIS PARALYSIS. Pressure Under the Skull Suc- cessfully Removed After Two Years. CAN LIVE LIKE A MAN,| After Months of Suffering a Gambler’s Chance Leads to Life and Strength. It is not often that a hair’s breadth-of a | man's brain is laid bare and he livesto | tell of it after. Itis not often that the keen edge of a surgeon’s knife cuts into a | for he can feel and move, and he is section of the brain, and so, when the pa- tient was fully under the influence of an | anesthetic, he made ready with his chisel and his mallet, his knives and his needles, and commenced to chip at the skull around a long curved line that stretched from the ear almost to the crown. It was a most dangerous and delicate undertaking. For an hour the surgeon clipped and clipped, while the assisting doctors bent forward with interest in the outcome of the work., Then, when the chisel’s point had penetrated to the inner membranes the semicircle of bone was bent back on that portion still attached, | and the pulsating flesh was disclosed just where a sac of fluid had lodged and passed into it. Tt was an hour more before the injury was corrected, the film of bone bent back ad the shaven scalp sewed to its place The arteries laid bare bad been closed with catgut ligatures, and every precaution had been taken to prevent a recurrence of the trouble. But the success of the operation was not known for some time. For three days the patient lay, weak and half unconscious, forgetful of what had happened and care- | less of what was passing; but at the end of that time he raised himself and put his left hand—the hand he had not moved for two years—to the side of bis head, where the wound pained him. Now he can move arm and leg, where before he was powerless. He walks with but a slight iimp, and the pains which shoot through his arm are hailed with joy, coming from the valley of the shadow of death. Yesterday he was out for a ride. He went nearly to the park and retired early last evening, for such an outing is tire- some for a man who has just found him- self. 1t was a gambler’s chance, he said— The Skull Was Opened and a Small Sac of Fluid Was Found Indenting the Bra in. man’s thoughts and he sits up in bed and relates the story of it, but such an experi- ence has happened to Robert Rockw and he is able and willing to say how it feels to have balf the side of his head opened to the outer air. It was probably the most remarkable | operation of its kind ever performed in this City. It was more than a trephine—it was a chiseling out of a three-inch, horseshoe- shaped piece of bone, and seven doctors looked on while it was done and pro- nounced it wonderful. Two years ego Rockwitz was employed as shipping clerk in H. Levy & Co.’s whole- sale groceryv-house on Market street. He was well and strong then, but he was sud- denly stricken with paralysis and within twenty-four hours was helpless. This was on the 3d of January, 1894. About a week before the stroke Rock- witz was struck on the back of the neck with a billiard ball. It hurt him for a mo- ment but the pain passed off. Three days before he was wrestlirg in friendly rivalry with a friend and he felt something snap in his heaa, a short, biting pain, but that too passed away. Then one morning he woke up delirious and it was seen that the left side of his body was dead. Thousands of dollars and months of pa- tient treatment failed to do any more than temporarily allay the disease that had seized bold of him, and finally it was decided to operate upon him. It is well known to surgeons that pres- sure on the brain, from whatever cause, will bring paralysis, and if the paralysis appears on the left side of the body it is certain that the right side of the brain is indented. Therefore 1t was decided to open the patient’s skull and remove the cause of the paralytic stroke. Four weeks ago Rockwitz was assisted on to the operating-table in his bedroom. Every piece of furniture, every curtain and banging decoration, every picture, every rug and every shred of carpet was removed and the floors and walls were scrubbed with nauseous antiseptics untit the room smelled like a hospital and was pronounced surgically clean. Dr. Charles Brigham, who performed the operation, had decided there was a “clot’’ upon the brain. It might be blood, it might be anythirg, but i1t was pressure of some sort. From the fact that the left arm had just become paralyzed he was of the opinion that the pressure was to the right side near the top and just forward of the highest part of the back of the head. To make sure he decided to open a large NEW TO-DAY. | at his side. an even thing between a living death and death itself, with a chance of an existence worth having in the distance, and, as he says, he feels like a man—one whose limbs are quick with life, and not hanging limp WLL FIGHT THE UNON Brewers’ Association Declares War Against Organized Labor. Strong Resolut'ons Passed Pledging the Organization to Support Non-Union Men. There is a fight on between the Manu- facturers’ and Employers’ Association of California and the Brewery Workmen's Union. [Iucidentally the trades unions are involved in the struggle, and unless a compromise is effected, there will be lively times before many days. The Manufacturers’ and Employers’ As- sociation was organized five years ago for the sole purpose of combating any organi- zation which pretended so assert that all laborers must belong to some recognized union. A merry war followed between the association and the Federated Trades, in which the former claimed a victory. For two years there has been a cessation of hostilities. The’ recent activity, how- ever, in_trade circles has stirred up the association, and yesterday they held a meeting at which the following resolutions were passed: WHEREAS, By reason of the fact that there is now no brewer upon the board of directors of this body to Tepresent the brewers among our membership, it becomes necessary to take cognizance directly of difficulties bétween the said brewers and trades unions; and whereas, it appears that & demand nas been made by & trades union, known as the Brewery Work- men’s Union, upon the brewers of this City belonging to this organization that their breweries shall be unionized—which is to say, that they shall discharge, forthwith, such of their employes as refuse to join the union in question and that in future they shall employ none but members of the said union in good standing upon its books; and it further appears that in the event fusal of the brewers o unionize their breweries by the process above mentioned, it is threatened that the union in question and the other trades unionsin the City and else- where affiliated with it will declare and e force a boyeott upon one or more of the brew eries bel nging to the members of this associa- tion; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Board of Manufacturers and Employers of California by its directors in regular session herewith declares the demand of the trades union above recited to be insid- ious and dangerous in the extreme to individ- ual liberty and to good government; that the demand for unionization and tae threatening of the boycott is especially and deplorably in- WILD WithEczema 1 was a sufferer for eight Joars from Ecsema, but now am entirely cured.

A VERY STRONG DENIAL. The Salcon-Keeper Declares to Lees That He Has No Back Rooms. A VISIT OF DISCOVERY. Sworn Statements "of Notary Justin Gates and Dr. Peel as to Her- bert’s Story. The story of Harry Herbert’s watch and the $20 goid piece which he says he left with Saloon-keeper Hesse as a means of quickening the interest of certain detec- tives in its recovery caused an intcresting and exciting day at the police headquar- ters yesterday. Captain Lees, who pledges his faith in Detectives Bee and Harper, did a lot of in- terviewing and developed conflicting statements encugh to meet every possible | direction of the wind. | Detective Bee is away on a vacation, but | Detective Harper submitted that he did not know Saloon-keeper Hesse, never was in his saloon and certainly never received | any money from him for looking out for | Herbert’s watch, or for any other purpose. Harry Herbert denied the essential points of his story of the day before with regard to the $20 piece; declared he never gave Hesse any money at all, but that Hesse had told him that he knew Bee and Harper and Lees personally and would speak to them about his (Herbert's) case. Then Hesse took his turn, and declaied point blank that he did not even know Bee or Harper, had never seen Harper in bis life previous to that morning and that neither of them had ever been in his sa- loon. As for back rooms, there was not a ack room to his saloon. i very interesting, not to say confusing, to the several parties to the controve: While Hesse was repudi- ating acquaintance with the detectives, | Herbert, as he afterward confessed, stood in amazement, and then Herbert himself, while repudiating the $20 story of the night before, furnished his share of enter- tainment to the newspaper men present. Captain Lees sent Sergeant Colby to Hesse's saloon to look into the question of the back room. Hesse was not in at the | time, and his barkeeper was busy explain- | ing to the sergeant that there was no back | room, when a CALL reporter opened a door | in the rear of the saloon and revealed a | back room. Now it should be stated just here as dis- tinctly as may be in the midst of all this confusion that there is no evidence what- ever of any wrongdoing on the part of Detectives "Fee or Harper or any other of Captain Lees’ force, except the unsup- ported statement of Saloon-keeper Hesse, as given yesterday. TuE CALw is far from being disposed to give that statement any more weight than belongs to it, as coming from a man who confessed to offering the detectives money, himself believing the offer to be in the nature of a bribe. Nor, be it kept in mind, does he even say that he offered the $20 referred to to any de- tective. ‘What he does say is that he took the $20 from Herbert with the purpose of giving it to Bee and Harper—and adds that he has not since seen either of them. Mr. Hesse’s statements and counter- statements are o sweeping that they em- barrass him. He says much, and is” will- ing to swear that he said nothing. This does more than bring upon him suswicion. He says that Herbert gave him $20, and denies that he said it. He says that he | was accustomed to_invite detectives into the back room of his saloon, and not only denies that he said it but declares that he has no back room. Now, that was the step too far; thatis “the lie with circum- stance.” He has a back room. Captain Lees was greatly wrought up over the matter yesterday, as he had a right to be. He did not believe that his officers were guilty of wrongdoing. *If I did,’” he said yesterday, “if Hesse’s state- ments were corroborated inany way, the officers referred to would be under suspen- sion at this moment. But I have known these men a long time. They have been serving with me for twenty years: they bear an uninterrupted record for probity; they do not drink; they do not frequent saloons; I never heard of either of them going into a saloon. “That reputation cannot be overturned by the off-hand allegations of a voluble saloon-keeper, who perhaps wants to make itappearthatheknowssomethingand who, called upon to reiterate his statement to me, denies it. This matter may be brought before the Police Commission, and these ter to the police, and had told of the affair to afriend of his named Hesse, 8 Larkin-street saloon-keeper. Hesse, he said, claimed to be well acquainted with Detectives Harper and Bee, with whom he had had business trans- actions, and who, if they were paid for their trouble, would work hard and no doubt soon recover his watch. When Harry Her- bert told me this, and said he had given Hesse $20 for the two detectives,1 believed he was being wrongfully assessed, because from my knowledge of Harper and Bee they would not entertain such a transaction, and I 8o in- formed Eugene Hahn, a CALL reporter, of what Ibad heard and of my belief. With the re- porter I called at Herbert's place of business, and to both of us he reiterated thestory he had previously told me. that he had paid Hesse $20 o be turned over to Detectives Harperand Bee. 5 EEL.

D- Harper, detective officer, made to Captain L W. Lees, May 14, 1896: At 9 A. . I went to the office of Captain Lees and asked him if he had seen the article Bublished in THE CALL reflecting on Detective ee and myseif. He said that he had, and asked me if there was any truth in the article. I told the captain that there was not one word of truth in the article, and that I did not know either Herbert or Hesse to my knowledge. Captain Lees directed me to go to Madison & Burke'soflice for Mr. Herbert and bring him 10 the office at once. 1 brought Herbert to the office, and he made a statement to Captain Lees, which is herewith attached. After he made the statement Captain Lees called int his stenographer and ordered him to take Her- bert’s statement in full, which was done in the detective departments, room 6. Captain Lees then instructed me to go and | get Mr. Hesse and bring him to the cflice, I went to his saloon and he was not there, and [ learned from the barkeeper that he lived at 6 Grove street. I went there and rang the bell, and in response Mrs. Hesse came to the door. 1 asked for Mr. Hesse, and was told tostep in. | Mr. Hesse came in, and I asked him if he was Mr. Hesse, he said yes, and I asked him if he knew me, or if I wasever in_his saloon.

G. D. HARPER, Detective Police Officer. FIRE ON FOLSOM STREET A Hay Barn, Three Dwellings and Two Stores Are Destroyed. The Origin of the Fire Is Not Known, but Incendiarism Is Sus- pected. A disastrous fire entailing & loss of over $10,000 occurred on Folsom street last night, between Eighth and Ninth, and at one time it looked as if the entire block would be burned to the grouud. About 7:30 o’clock smoke was noticed is- suing from the roof of the hay barn of | Abraham Brothers, 1234 Folsom street. An alarm was turped in from box 78, cor- ner of Ninth and Folsom, and when the firemen arrived the flames had burst out and it was seen that the barn was doomed. A brisk northerly wind was blowing and carried the flames to 1232 Folsom, a store and dwelling occupied by William Peck- man. About this time there was a loud explosion in the haybarn, a tank of oil be- ing exploded, and instantly the three- story frame building, 1236 Folsom, owned by Dr. Botsford and occupied by several families, caught fire, Chief Sullivan at once ordered a second alarm to be rung in, as it was feared that owing to the inflammable nature of the buildings in the block the whole would be consumed. Meantime the two-story frame building, 1230 Folsom street, owned by James Durkin and occupied by his son, had caught sire. Soon after the extra engines arrived the further spread of the tlames was stopped, but all the buaildings mentioned were gutted. Abrahams Bros.’ loss amounted to about $1500, and Mrs. A. Boland, who owns the building, was damaged to the extent of $2500, $1500 of which is covered by in- surance. The second building to catch fire was owned by Mrs, S, H. Peckham and was valued at $5000. The stock in the station- ery-store was estimated to be worth $1000 and is a total loss. The building and stock were insured jointly for $2600, The total loss to the other damaged buiid- ings will amount to about $1000, all of which is covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is not knowr, but there is a strong suspicion that it was the work of an incendiary. Fire Marshal Towe will make a morou%h investigation. James Gorman and Timothy elch, laborers, refused to move on when re- quested to do so by the police and were arrested and taken to the City Prison. Charges of interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty and obstructing a street at a fire were made against- them. P. Gorman, a teamster, living at 1225 Howard street, did not move on quick enough and a policeman struck him on the forehead with bis club, inflicting a wound which was dressed at the Receiving Hospital, men will be required to make good their statements or explain why they thus lightly attack men of good standing, Harper and Bee have reputations to lose.” Seen shortly after his interview with Captain Lees, Harry Herbert said to a CaLL reporter: “I denied the statements I made to you about having given Hesse 20 because, as I told you last night, I don’t want to get him into trouble. I have business relations with him all the time and Ido not wish to disturb them, They tell me that I have simply been ‘flimmed’ out of the $20. Well, perhaps. I can’t help it.” But Captain Lees was somewhat dis- posed to doubt the truth of THE CALL'S re- port of the several interviews published yesterday. That isto say, he was rather disposed to give credence to the denials of Saloon-keeper Hesse and of Harry Her- bert. Now, here are some affidavits in line with THE CALL’s report. Notary Jus- tin Gates was present when Harry Herbert talked over the affair with the reporter, wihen he (Herbert) explained why he wanted bis original statement emascu- lated, leaving out the name of Hesse in or- der not to get him (Hesse) into trouble. Foliowing is an affidavit of the notary: SAN FraNcIsco, Mey 14, 1896. 1, Justin Gates, a Notary Public, swore Harry Herbert to an aflidavit on the night of May 13, 1896. The afidavit was signed by Mr. Herbert and myself with my official seal, and which was published in THE CALL of this date is correct. In addition to the statements made in the said affidavit of Mr. Herbert, the latter spoke very frankly and openly regarding the fact that e had paid Saloon-keéeper Hesse $20 to be turned over to Detectives Bee and Harper to spur them on in their efforts to recover the watch which he claims was stolen from his room on Hyde street last SundAc{ night. The affidavit was signed and sealed in my pres. ence and that of three witnesses, immediately outside of the Hyde-street house in which Mr. Harry Herbert lived. Signed; JUSTIN GATES.

The Bullding Trades to Fight the Occu- pants of the Big Building. At a meeting of the Building Trades Council last evening after a -long and heated debate a resolution was passed to place a boycott on the Parrott block ana the occupants thereof. It was reported at last night’s meeting that the managers of the Parrott estate have violated their agreement with the affiliated unions and have given Bruschke another contract, or at least had arran, matters so that he obtained the work of finishing the large basement or parts of it, when it was argued that he should be sllowed on:{ to finish the contracts he bad on hand at the time of the strike, It was proposed to again call out all union men from the building on another strike, but the proposition did not carry, because the number of union men now employed there would not seriously affect the work. A resolution was passed commending the Granite Stone-cutters’ Union in ita stand and fight against the work on the Grant monument being performed by con- victs; also denouncing the use of convict- dressed stone on all public buildings, . The following resolution upon the fund- ing bill was passed: WHEREAS, The Southern Pacific Railroad, through its hired agents and soulless schemers, is trying to debauch Congress and escape the rlyment of its just debts to this Government 1 & sum something like several hundred thou- sand dollars; therefore, be it resolved, that we, the Building Trades Council of San Francisco, in meeting assembled, denounce the action of the monopoly and request the Representatives of this coast in Congress to do allin their Power to defeat the notorious funding bill. ———————— Bookedefor Burglary.

BURGLARS AND THE THREE BALLS, Daring Thieves in a Wash- ington-Street Pawn- Shop. SECURED A RICH BOOTY A Variety of Goods Worth a Thousand Dollars Carred Away. DONE BY AN EXPERT GANG. Detectives Are Unable to Find a Trace of Either the Plunder or the Robbers. Two burglars, evidently experts in their calling, torced an entrance into Louis Goodman’s pawnshop, 629 Washington street, at an early hour last Friday morn- | ing and aiter thoroughly looting the es- | tablishment made good their escape, car- | rying with them goods valued afabouta | thousand dollars. i The thieves gained an entrance into the | shop through a glass-paneled door in the rear, but contrary to their custom did not | break the pane but forced the lock, using | a jimmy to accomplish their purpose. { Once inside their work was easy, as | hanging from the walls and ceiling of the store were blankets and clothing, which made it impossible for one to see any dis- tance into the place from the Washington- street entrance. It is evident that the robbery was a care- fully planned one, and although but two men gained an entrance it is presumed that the robbers had confederates stationed | on the outside. Tneir duty was to watch | the movements of the police and inform | the thieves inside, who were sacking the | plunder, when the coast was clear and | NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS; TO-DAY AND TO-MORRCW ONLY.

A large iron veranda runs along the rear of the building in which the firm's shop is located, and this fact has led the police to advance another theory as to how the robbery was done. In the center of the building on the ‘Washington-street side is an entrance lead- ing to the second floor, which remains open night and day. Leading from the top of the stairs, a narrow hallway runs to the porchrin the rear, and with the use of & short ladder or a rope it would not | be a difficult feat to drop down into the court below. This would place a ten-foot fence be- tween the thieves and the building, a trifling obstacle for them. Robbers are as a rule quite particular as to the class of goods they will steal, but in this case it was different. Pistols, knives, razors, overcoats, shirts and cheap alarm-clocks were taken by the greedy lawbreakers. Nine revolvers of the finest pattern were stolen, and a valuable maga- zine-rifle also disappeared. A complete set of hair-clippers, a number of razors, scissors by the gross and shaving-brushes in quantities sufficient to stock the estab- lishment of every tonsorial artist in the City. ‘Watches and other pieces of jewelry are | also missing, and but one conclusion can be reached—that the burglars added them to the bulk of their plunder. White over- shirts, pantaloons, second-hand overcoats, on which hours of labor had been spent 1n order to make them good as new, billiard balls of ivory, a pair of chemist’s scales and opera glasses, accompanied by several bair and clothes brushes, were bundled together and carried to parts unknown. Even suspenders fell into the clutch of the enterprising visitors, and meerschaum pipes, with which their original owners had spent hours of pleasure and which were highly prized by the owner of the pawnshop, are no longer on display. To complete the steal and also to prob- ably leave behind them-the opinion that they were indeed in want of money the thieves carted away with them numerous old combs, alarm clocks, canvas valises and even cracked mirrors. Detectives have been working on the case since the morning of the robbery, but so far they have been unable to find a trace of even the most worthless piece ot the plunder, let alone the more valuable goods, which the pawnshop-owner is anx- ious to recover. The robbery looks like the work of an organized gang of burgiars, and in that event it will be many weeks before the criminals are safely lodged be- hind prison bars. BUTCHERS' GALA DAY.
