Judge Campbell Gives His Decision in the Case of George Dougherty. Judge Campbell decided yesterday to hold Policeman George Dougherty to answer before the Superior Court on the charge of mansiauglter, fixing his bonds at $20,000. Dougherty shot and killea Henry E. Sullivan in Lunstedt’s saloon on O’ Farrell and Powell streets during a drunken carousal. The Judge pointed to the fact that the evidence showed Dougherty had tried twice to get out of the saloon, but was prevented by Sullivan, who was evidently anxious for a ficht. He did not consider that any malice had been shown and therafore he would hold him to answer to the charge of manslaughter. —— e ADVANCES made on_furniture and planos with or without removal.

He Has Livad Alone for Seven- teen Years in a Clementina- Street Flat. S veral Pathetic Lstters From His Aged Sister in Morrisville, Ver- mont, Found. A case worthy of more than ordinary note came into the hands of the Coroner yesterday. ‘The body of & hermit named D. M. Gilvert was found in the third flat ofa brick building at 174 Clementina street. The man had evidently been dead for the past two months, but the thick walls and closely barred doors ana win- dows prevented vhe neighbors living in the same house from knowing that a dead body was under the same roof. For the past seventeen years Gilbert, who was about 70 years of age, had lived in that flat, which consists of three small rooms. But little was known of the recluee, who was scarcely seen away from his bouse. When he left his rooms it was usually early in the morning and his re- turn was as a rule afier darkness had set in. How he lived noone knew, and but few even knew his name, for he avoided his neighbors as though the entire world was his enemy. It is believed that he gathered and sold bottles to help keep body and soul together. Harnison Gilbert always paid his rent, which was $10 a month. Sometimes he would pay two or three moaths' rent in advance. and the agents, Crim & Co., and the owner, J. F. Bright of 13 Verona place, would not see or hear of the strange tenant for a long time. This was what bappened in the latter part of last year. Old man Gilbert made his last payment to Decem- ber 3L When his rent was again due a note was sent to him, but he did not re- ply, which cansed no comment. When two and a half months passed and tae tenant failed to apvear in response to the notices, Mr. Bright started to investigate. Yesterday he went to the house and forced open tbe reardoor. The body of the aged tenant was found lying on the floor in an advanced stage of decomposition. Deputy Coroner Hallet and Messenger Smith went for the body and used as they are to such cases tnis one nearly over- powered them. Dirt and filth, rags and- old bottles, broken furniture and a tumbled-down bea were the principal features of the scene. Among Gilbert’s effects were a number of letters from his sister, Louise L. Ruth ford of Morrisville, Vi., and those were the only writings that connected him with the world or indicated who he is. From the letters it is interred that Gilbert and his sister were all that remained of the family. They showed that it was the sis- ter who haa all these years paid the rent for the hermit. The 1ast letters, dated in February, were unopened. It was appar- ently a hara struggle for the aged sister back in Vermont to help her brother, shown by extracts of a pathetic lelter December 16, which read ; I received your second letter, which made me feel very bad for I had hoped that before this time you woul be nble to get along with- out any more help from me. This that I now send you leaves me with only about twice as much as T have sent to you within the past four years #o you see Ishail soon have noth- ing at 75 years, and mo health, strength or faculty to earn a'cent. Ihave not been able 10 earn anything for more than sixteen years. You can see that I soon will get the liitle have used up, for the interest does nothing toward supporting me. * * * You do not realize how old and brcken up I am—perhaps no more ao I about yourself. * * * Now, I think it is your duty o let me know all about your affairs. 1 think you would if you realized how hard it has been for me to run around in the snow and cold to try and get this (money). Four times Pve been out. It1s hard and irying to one to goout or do suy business at all. This morning I succeeded in hiring this $30, and it is all T shall dare to spare you, * * * In other parts of thisand cther letters Mrs. Rutherford expresses the fear that if she sends him any more money she will be reduced to abject poverty and become a public charge.. Bhe also upbraided him for being such a reciuse and not making his condition known to his fellow-men. h BULLET STOPPED Deputy Fish Commissioners Are Forced to Shoot a Hole in a Boat. Violators of the Law in Three In. stances D:tected and Brought to Purishmoent. Last Tuesday Deputy Fish Commi: sioners A. W. Wilson and M. L. Cross went down the bay in the launch Hustler, searching for violators of thelaw in the region of S8an Mateo County. On Wednes- day they overhauled a Greek fisherman named Brown in the act of using Chinese sturgeon gear. A lively chase ensued. The man in the smaller boat had the aavantage in making short tacks, and they were unable to lay hold of his boat, until one of the cfficers on coming to close quarters fired a bullet through the bottom of his frail shell. Then he ceased his efforts to escape, and was taken to San Mateo and before Justice Matingly. He was tried and found guilty the same day, and sentence! to pay a fine of $100. Not having the cash he is now reposing in the Redwood City Jail. Wilson immediately afterward went up and explored the region around Ukiah and Cloverdale. The rain and snow set in and he was forced to return withont arresting any poachers. § Deputy Cross took in the streams in the vicinity of Healdsburg, Fulton and Santa Rosa at the same time with a like result. Deputy Davis had better Ius On the 18th inst. be went tc St. Helena and dis- covered a man named Clarence Green fishing for trout out of season. He was taken before Justice H. J. Chinn of St. Helenn, pieaded guilty and was fined $30. On_the following day, above Naps, on Milliken Creek, Davis arrested a man named Charles Howe for the same offense. He was taken before Justice Bradiord of Napa, pleaded guilty, and was to be sen- tenced yesterday. The Fish Commission is using every effort to protect the trout streams within the neigborhood of San Francisco, but of iate the water has been so muddy, owing to the inciement weather, that not much fishing has been aone. —————————— The earnings of the average practicing barrister do not exceed £300 a year. ——————— JEWELRY store, 57 Third, removed to 303 Kearny, Large siock of dismonds, watches, et BEAD K LESSO 10 A SHNDLER Bogus Half-Interest Sale Leads to the State Prison. Judge Cook Pronounces a Sep- tence of Twanty-Five Years on J. M. Jackson. Impressive Lecture on the Nefarious Traific Coaducted by Rogues ia This City. Judge Carrol Cook delivered a stirring lecture on the subject of half-interest swindles yesterday morning when passing sentence on J. M. Jackson, convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses. So many of these rascals have made their homes in this community for several years, and so successful have been their operations and their attempts to evade the punishment provided by law, that all good citizens will be glad to hear that at last one of the horde is about to get what he deserves. The testimony disclosed the fact that Jackson held himself out to be a medical expert, and in this guise induced an inex- perienced man to seek his advice for med- ical treatment of some minor ailment. Although that act of itself might have been punished yet that was not the ground of the complaint ‘filed sgainst Jackson. A!ctrllininF that he had not deprived his victim of all the spare cash in his posses- sion Jackson offered to sell a half interest in_hi usiness” for $300 and obtained $75as part payment. Of course the “‘business” proved fraud- ulent and unremunerative as its character was exposed and no new dupes could be found who would pay cash for worthless nostrums, Judge Cook touched on the pertinent facts of the case in passing judgment. The court said: Your record, consisting of four prior convic- tions, evidences the fact that you are past reformation and that you lead & criminal life irom choice and not necessity. Leniency, {herefore, in your case would be wholly out of lace. Since confinement twice in the. State rison and twice in the County Jail have failed to teach you that others in the world beside yourself have rights which are to be respected, it is plain 10 be seen that the in- terésts of the community wouid be best sui- served by sending you back there this time for permanent incaiceration. When a person is brought into a criminal court for the first time I am always inciined tobe, aud I am, lenient and often, whe they come for the second time, I scan with great care and caution the evidence adduced against tnem, for I real- ize that tiey may either have been tempted by want, resultiug irom their faijure to obtain employment by reason ot their being ex-con- vicis, or that their previous records might heve’ caused su:picion ‘unjustiy 1o atiach to them; but, when they are brought into & criminal court for the third time, or the fourth, as in your cuse, no such considerations can maintain; it is r that they are by nature criminals, and that the. community should be tid of their presence in it for the uture. For the crime of which you have beeu cou- victed, with but one of the prior convictions which are charged 13 d which | ness under the style of the “English Remedi you have admicted hi of life imprisonment could be imposed, ut derthelaw, and theshortest term permissible would be ten years. If each of the four priors 1 charged were 1o be treated in the same man- ner forty vears imprisonment would be the minimum for the crime. On your trisl you deliberately committed perjury in denying your signature to the docu- meit introdnced in evidence, in swearing that you saw Morrow and Nikirk sign certain papers and in other matters for which, if you were tried, the lowest punishment possible, in view of your prior convictions, would be four- teen yvears’ imprisonment. And, not content with adding such crime to the list, of which you hnve beeu guilty, you offered in evidence and uttered two forged pavers in support of your fulse testimony, the uttering of each of | which would subject you, with your prior record, to a minimum imprisonment of fiiteen years or thirty years for tne two. Were you to be tried for the several crimes just enumerated, which you have committed right here in the presence of the court in de- fending yours:if upon the charge of which you have been convicted, your punishment, in Cconnection with the punishment im posed ‘for this crime, teking the minimum for each, could no: be less than ten years for this crime, fourteen yeurs for perjury and thirty years for two forgeries, makiug an aggregate of fifty- four ye: In sddition to these facts in aggravation of your offense, the evidence adduced here shows ihat the complaining witness here was the third victim {rom the country whom you had fleeced within a period of about four mouths, 10 charges having been made against you by the other two. Had those crimes been added to the list, twenty years' additional imprison- ment, taking the minimum +lowed by law. would also be added, making seventy-four years in all. Judge Cook also referred to the brazen | perjury committed by the defendant and said that it was the intention of the court to deter such perjury if possible by in- ereasing the punishment of all convicted persons who had the temerity to swear falsely, even though testifyinz in their own bebalf. In this regard he & When one has lived & life of crime, as you have, such an example should be set as snall show others that their presonce in the com- munity will_be dispensed with should they follow in & like path. Likewise is it necessary that others should ieurn that if they, in de- fending themselves on_sccusations, or’ in en- deavoring to maintain accusations, in this court, commit willful perjury, as you have, they cannot do so and go unwhipé)ed of jus- tica, for, as I have heretofore stated, where & withess testifies to what I am satisfied i false T shall, regardless of who he may be, officer or oitizen, send him for trial for his crime, and when a defendani attempts to avoid convie- tion by such means I shail increase his pun- ishment in such & way as to deter others irom following his example. The evidence aiso shows that the business in which you were engaged was one which, although not declared by law to te criminal, is one wherein the unwary are fleeced of their money and is & business which is a disgrace to | the community and which ought to be de- clared criminal even if it is not. During the giving of your own testimony you brazenly stated that, in your business, you had “worked the City by sections,” and ihat the disreputable character of that busi- ness was such that even you were ashamed (o conduct the same under your own name, for you ssy that at one piace you conduated busi- Company,” but that “there was no company, that you ‘‘ran the same yourseif,” thereby ad- misting thak you even conducied your busi- ness under alse pretense. It is certain that at your age you could not Iive toserve the full term that your crimes call for, and although 1 could send you in | terms for life fmprisonment, such penalty is | one which I deem proper 1o resecve for crimes of o character different than that for which you have been tried. But I will fix such an | imprisonment as shall, at your age, virtually amount to life imprisonment, and whica uall be sufficient to operate #s an example nd & warning to others not to fo.low in your footsteps.
