4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY JUNE 27, 189T7. —_—— e e BARTLEY GUILTY ON ONE CHARGE Nebraska ex-Treasurer| Is Convicted of Stealing. Sentenced to Serve Twenty Years’ Imprisonment and Fined $303,768 90. An Appeal Wil Be Taken and the Legal Bat:le to Save Him Kept Up. OMAHA, NEgsR., June 2 “It is the sentence of this court that you be confined in the penitentiary of this sState at hard labor for the period of twenty years and pay a fine of §$303,768 90." This was the seatence pronounced upon Joseph S. Bartley, the ex-State Treasurer convicted of embezziement, by Judge Baker ot the criminal branch of the Dis- trict Court, before whom Bartley was tried. It closed the record of the most noted criminal trial on the dockets of Nebraska. The session of court at which this result was reached was marked, like all the other proceedings in this case, by legal skirm- ishing, invoking all the technicalities known to the law for the deiay of the progress of justice. The courtroom was well filled with members of the legal pro- fession and laymen, and during the prog- ress of the legal battle which marked the close of this case in the District Court the most intense interest prevailed. The entire morning was taken up by the defense in making a record, motion after motion being made, some verbal and others written, and even after the sentence had been pronounced a motion to vacate a part of the sentence was filed. These motions were all overruled, and | after these tedious legal formalities had | all been disposed of sentence was imposed | upon the defendant. The bill of exceptions for an appeal to the Supreme Court isabout completed and will be ready for filing to-morrow. The defense is very confident that bail will be allowed, and that Bartley will be liber- | ated within a few days. Attorney-Gen- eral Smyth will at once file with the Clerk of the Supreme Court objections to ad- mitting the defendant to pail. To-night Bartley occupies a cell in the county jail, but is quite cool, He is yet 10 be tried for stealing $300,000 more. The | charge upon which Bartley was convicted was the embezziement of $151,884 45. This is the first instance in which a Ne- | braska State officer has been sent to the | penitentiary. It is said he lost the half- million stolen in stocks ana Cripple Creek mines. IN SANTA CRUZ'S JAIL. Alleged Assailants of Charles Harr.s Are Placed Under Heavy Bonds. SANTA CRUZ, CarL, June 2,—The re- turn to-day of Sheriff Besse and Under Sheriff Helms, having in custody two men charged with the assault on Chiries Har- ris last Sunday night, attracted a large crowd of people to Justice Gardner's court, ! whither a carriage bearing the officers and their prisoners was quickly driven from the depot. The crowd was orderly and followed info the courtroom, completely filling it. George F. Plyler, veterinary surgeon, and Mark Schoedde, the prison- ers, faced the spectators with an effort to appear composed. Plyler, who is said to be the husband of the woman in the case, seemed very 1li at ease, but Schoedde re- covered his courage after being seated in | dent of this county and large land owner the courtroom. The demonstrations to-day at San Jose seemed to have imbued the men with the | fear that they might meet with severe | treatment here, but there was not the | faintest mutter of vengeance. The veople | are greatly incensed over the qutrage, but | they expressed no desire 1o molest the | prisoners. Justice Gardrer conducted the arraign- ment proceedings, holding the men upon their plea of “not guilty’’ in $20,000 bonds each to appear for the setting of the case for preliminary trial, The prisoners waived attorneys until the time of setting the case, and were driven to the County Jail to await the action of the District Attorney. SAN JOSE, CavL., June 26.—The police force of this city has been busily enzaged ail day colleciing evidence concerning the heinous assault upon Charles Harris, Russell’s patrolmen, w. | the Santa Cruz barber. At present George | F. Plyler, a bill_collector. Bismarck H. | Schoedde, a veterinary surgeon, and | Henry Bradley, an employe in Plyler's of- | fice, are charged with the crime. The | police claim to have a formidable array of | evidence -against these men and 1o-day | they secured information which may lead | | to further arrests. Plyler and Schoedde were taken to | Santa Cruz- this morning, but Bradley, who is frightened almost todistraction, was |'atlowed 10 remain in the City Prison here | as the officers believe he can be induced to | confess, Schoedde and Bradley have already | made partial confessions, and Heary Loryea, also a negro, has made a state- ment that he was approached by Piyler on Friday and asked to participate in the crime. The details of tue plan to injure ‘Hurns were explained to him, and he agreed 1o enter into the plot. He went to Santa Cruz with Plyler on Sunday, the day of the deed, vbut says he did so only because he wished to have his expenses paid to that city. He declares that bedid not have anything to do with the plot | after reachinz Santa Cruz, but was in- | formea by Piyler that the deed was pe>- | petratea in the office of a prominent Santa | Cruz physician, Scuoeade and Braaley also admit that | | they agreea to join Piyler in his diabolical work. Both say that they weakened upon | reaching Santa Cruz and bad nothing to | do with the crime further than partici- | pating in the arrangements. | Plyler steadfastly deniesany connection { with the affair whatever, and says it must | be a case of mistaken identity. He sug- fiesls that one of his eight brothers may | be the guilty person. | A most damaging witness against | Schoedde is his own wife. Mrs. Schoedde | made a_fuil statement tbis morning to | Chiet Kidward of this city and District | Attorney Lindsay and Sheriff Besse of Santa Cruz. She says her husband told | her several days previous to Sunday that | he was going to commit the deed, and | boasted that he would be well paid for it, | The woman tried to dissuade him from his purpose, but without avail. | Piyler seems not 1o have taken ordinary | precautions to conceal his crime, for he is | known to have approached more or less directly six persons with a view to ob- taining their assistance. One of theee is a promiuent and reputable physician, an- other is & veterinary surgeon and County | official of high standing 1n_the commun- ity. The others werc%rndley, Schoedde, | | Loryea and a negro named Miller. | _ Thestatementsof Schoedde, Bradley and | Loryea that the crime was committed in | the office of a Santa Cruz physician is dis- credited by the positive testimony of Harris that the Jdeed was perpetrated in | the lodging-house where Mrs. Plyler had taken rooms for the night. — SAN DIEGO'S SENSATION. Startling Charges Filed by a Business | Man Ajairst Chief of Police Russel. SAN DIEGO, OAL., June 26.—Charles §. ORNAENT Wik FROM TYPHOON Western Cracks Meet in the St. Louis Derby. Tables on the “Missouri Wonder.” | Buckvidere, the Rank Outsider, Is the Runner-up at the Finish. | ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 26. — Twenty thousand admirers of thoroughbred run- ners saw Ornament, the peeriess son of imp. Order-Visserene, win the great $12,000 Derby in a walk this afternoon at the fair groun A large majority of the im- mense crowd had pinned its faith and its doilars on Typhoon II, essentially a St. Louis horse, but the victory of the Ken- tucky flyer was greeted with none the less enthasiasm because o that fact. Ornament and Typhoon II had met in the Kentucky Derby, and the former’s colors were lowered, Typhoon 1I winning in a drive by a neck. But the track was not =0 heavy nor the distance so long on that occasion as to-day. The victories of both cracks since had been so impressive that the shrewdest handicappers were puzzled to pick the winner. As an indication of the estimate placed upon the relative chances of the two, the opening betting on Ornament was even money, while 6 to 5 was quoted against Ty phoon 1L Buckvidere, the only other starter, was posted at 8 to 1. Enough money was bet on both Ornament and Typhoon 11, by the time they went to the post, to start several National banks. Final quotations were: Ornament 9 to 10, Typhoon 11 11 to 10, Buckvidere 1210 L. The field was sentaway with Buckvidere |in" the lead and Typhoon II second. At the quarter Typhoon II led by twolengths, with Ornament a length before the out- sider, At the half Ornament had moved up and Typhoon led by only alength, | with Buckvidere three lengths back.

He asks to have Russell removed from oftice, and pending | the examination o have him suspended. | The affair has created a sensation.

Typhoon was in trouble, Slaughter again rushed Buckvidere through the quagmire to cut the turn short and make up some ground. Orna- ment made the turn wide and increased his lead to two lengths at the head oi the stretch, while Buckvidere passed the tired Typhoon. At the final furlong the race proved a mere exercise gallop for Ornament, the shapel® co!d winning as he pleased by engths. Buckvidere beat Typhoon 1T three lengtbs for the place.

REDDING, CAL., June 2%6.—The trial of A.

Weingartner plea was self-defense. The evidenee sgainst him was overwkelming, and a | conviction wasinevitable. | Weingartner, pale and haggard after his ordeal- of the week, sank into a seat beside his counsel as the jurors filed into their places.

SAN RAFAEL, Car, June 26.—The first paper-chase of the season was held to-day, unaer tke auspices of the Ban Rafael Hunt Club, and a large and bril- liant gathering of society people witnessed the sport. The sun shone brightly and, savea slight breeze that ruffled the leav: and fanned the heated brows of the riders, & better day could not have been wished for. Ladies gorzeously attired in summer costumes mingled in the throng, and a string of vehicles with gayly dressed occu- pants was constantly on the move through the gordens teeming with flowers. Itwas society’s inning, and society was out in force to witness and participate. During the morning and afternoon, and | before the event took place, guests arrivea and took positions of vantage, where the; watched the riders as they covered the twelve miles over which the course ex- | tended. Only one accident occurred and that was after the hares and hounds had re- turned and the sport was over. In one vehicle were Miss Belle Bhiel daughter of vr. Shiels, Mrs. Foreman, Miss Ger- trude Foreman and a brother of Dr. Shiels, who driving. The horse | backed and witha sudden jerk the vehicle | was everturned and the occupant: |out. Miss Belle Shiels was bruised, but not seriously, while the others escaped | with only a shaking up. | " Promptly at 8:%8 o'clock the hares | started. were Miss Warburton and Dr. H. O. Howitt. At 3:46 o’clock the hounas were started after them. The course taken by the hares was about twelve miles in length and led over a picturesque bit of country, starting from the entrance to Hotel Rafael, thréugh the Coleman Tract, up to Hills, right of Peta- Iuma avenue, near the *'Porto,” and end- | ing at the Stetson ranch, about two and a hall miles from San Rafael. | The hounds were: Miss Alice Hager, | 8.

She at first denied i, but when he produced the letter and the tintype she admitted that she had been recelying letters from him and had answered them. Of course the drug clerk raised a storm and he wrote to his wire’s mother at Oak- land telling her of her daugnter’s conduct and that he would ot support her any longer. 'fhe mother-in-iaw came down & see if she could not right matiers, but it seems that she only made them worse. The resuit was that Wolf ordered her to leave. She returned home, and after that Wolf and his wife succeeded in patching up matters, she having pleaded with him to forgive her, which he finally did. Everything went smootbly again until about a week ago, when the husband dis- | covered tbat his wife was again in corre- spondence with Dougherty. She was re- ceiving and sending the letters through a lady friend in this city, who took them from and to the postoffice. This lady friend, by the way, has left Fresno ori what is purportec to be a visit, butit seems that she, too, suddenly left her nusband, ¥ When Wolf accused his wife of again corresponding with Dougherty she ad- mitted it immediately and then became very much excited. They were in their rooms at the Hughes block and Mrs. Wolf seized a vial of chloroform and drank the contents in an attempt to com- mit suicide. Wolf quickly called Dr. Coe and the woman’s life was saved. The husband this tims told his wife that if she engaged in any further faithless con- duct he would send her home. In fact affairs have been very much disturbed in the family during the week. To aggravate matters a sister of Mrs. Wolf came down from Oakland a shorttime ago and she proved as ineffectual in' patching up the differences as did her mother a few months ago. Wolf says that he has now learned that Dougherty was a frequent visitor at his bome while he was at work at the drug- store. This information has been given to him by other rcomers in the lodging- house. Woll left his wife in their rooms this morning_shortly after 7 o'clock to go to work. His wite seemed to be more pleas. ant to him thau usual when heleit, but he had no idea that she was intending to leave him. At about noon a man con- nected with the lodging-house came down to the drugstore and notified the clerk that Mrs. Wolf haa levanted. Going to the rooms the husband found that they had been stripped of clothing, dishes, fur- niture, and in fact all the household ef- fects, inciuding even a half-sack of flour. Mrs. Wolf undoubtedly departed on the northbound train which leaves this city at 10:30 o’clock in the forenoon. How she succeeded in_packing up so quickly and getting her effects moved in a period of three hours is something of a mystery. The wronged husband is (aking matters philosophicaily, however, and says that now he does not want his wife back. He expects that Dougherty will desert her in 8 few weeks and that she will then want to return to him, but he is determined that hie wil! 2ot take her back. —— Kailroad Shops for Nogales.

Prevents the Sounding of | Alarm by Muffling the Firebell. an FRESNO, CAv., June 26.—The town of Sanger, situated on the Porterville hranch of the Bouthern Pacific, filteen miles south of this city, was visited by a fire about midnight last night and the principal business block now lies in ruins. The loss amounts to $30,000, which is covered by an insurance of §20,000. The building was owned by L N. Patti- son. It was a two-story brick structure, the upper floor being occupied as a | lodging-house. Theloss is divided amonx | the following : I. N. Pattison of San Fran- cisco, owner of the building, $15,000; El- more Brothers, drugstore, $4000; Gaudrau | & Dirvin, barbers, $500; Rodgers Brothers, saloon, $2500; H. Hellenbarger & Ingels, grocery, $3000; G. F. Bemis, jeweler, $3500; William Bar, $250; Lafferty & Sons, | restaurant, $3000. | This is ‘the second time the Patiison block has been burped. About three years ago it was destroged by fire. It was rebuilt immediately. It is a valuable property, bringing its owner $300 a month in rents. It is believed that it will be re- built & second time, Constable Irvine arrived from Banger to-day and expressed the opinion to Tur CALL correspondent that the conflagration was of incendiary origin. He said that shortly after the flames were discovercd in the grocery-store there was a deatening | explosion, which knocked the timbers | and glass of the frontinto the street. A few nights sgo an atiempt was made to fire the block occupied by Kutner & Co., aoross the sireet from the Pattison block. Last night, when the firemen attempted to ring an alarm, they found the bell muffled, which points simost conclusively to incendiarism. It was only through the most energetic | efforts of the firemen that the adjoining buildings were saved. he town has only a small chemiczl englné, but it was pat to effective service. Wet. sacks were also | used .0 great aavantage. | A number of men who were sleeping in | the upper story of the Pattison building had narrow escapes with their lives. A heavy wind was blowing during the con- flagration, and a cloud of sparks dropped dangerous embers upon_the Southern Pa- citicdepot. For a time it seemed that this building would be destroyed. Division Superintenden: Burkhalter of the South- ern Pacific,who was in this eity, dispatched two locomoiives equipped with pumps and fire hose to Banger to assist the fire department, but by the time the engines arrived the flames had subsided.
