FILKINY LEETS | CHARED Noted Burglar and| His Latest Mirac- | ulous Escape. He Was En Route To San Quentin Wearing an Oregon Boot. | | | | | | | Preparations for His Delivery Before Leaving Los Angeles. OFFICERS TO BE HELD UP. Pies and Cakes Found to Contain Acia Files. Prussic and Charles W. Felkens, who made his escape from a Los Angeles Deputy Bheriff on a northbound train Monday morning near Fresno, appears to bear & charmed life. In connection with his escape there is a story. Felkens is a son of a well- known banker of New Haven, Conn. He came to the Pacific Coast about two years ago and engaged in real estate in Los Ang: . He mimgled with the best soclet and from the fact of his carrying letters from prom- inent people in the East he was not long In securing for himself the in- troduction into the homes of the best people of Los Angeles. He was a prominent figure in all social events. Soon after his appearance in Los ‘Angeles many burglaries were com- mitted among the aristocratic resi- dents. Houses were entered at mid- day and Jjewelry abstracted. These burglaries puzzled Chief Glass and his detectives. The detectives of Los Angeles were for a long time baffled, but at last they obtained a clew and proceeded to the room of Felkens, where they found over $2000 worth of jewelry, which was afterward identified as the pro- ceeds of burglaries which he had com- mitted. The career of this man is something remarkable. As an incident, he rep- resented himself in Los Angeles as a newepaper and magazine writer, and upon one occasion when he chanced to meet a reporter of one of the Los Angeles dailies in the private office of a bank president of that city he re- marked to him that the reporters of the daily papers overlooked many a good item, saying, will furnish you a good item some day.” About two weeks after the above conversation a reporter was called into the office of the Chief of Police in Los Angeles, when the prisoner was brought before him. The surprise of the reporter was great when he rec- ognized the prisoner as the man who was introduced to him in the office of the bank president. Felkens was arraigned in the .Su- perior Court of Los Angeles County before Judge Smith upon five counts charging him with burglary. By some manipulation he was allowed to plead guilty to one charge and was sen- tenced to five years in San Quentin. Before being sentenced it appears that Felkens, who had prominent friends in Los Angeles, obtained through the District Attorney’s office a postponement of his sentence until next Monday. His escape, it will be seen, was evl- dently brought aboui from a well-pre- conceived plan. The night before he was to have left Los Angeles a beauti- ful Spanish girl named Elvira Men- doza called at the county jail and te the jailer delivered a pie and cake. Sheriff Burr, having suspicions that all was not right, took the ple and cake in charge, and upon dissecting the same found in the pie a bottle of prussic acid and in the cake three small flles of the finest texture. It CHARLES W U Ui, % . FELKENS. i i 7 ) y 7 The Burglar Who Jumped From an Express Train. was then arranged that the prisoner should be taken north from Los An- geles on Sunday morning at 11:50 o’'clock, in charge of Deputy Sheriff John Barnhill. Before this, however, the friends of Felkens had made arrangements in the Sheriff’s office to take him north on Sunday night. The Sheriff, knowing that there was big money back of Felkens, refused to comply with this | request, but was induced to sub- stitute Deputy Sheriff Barnhill in place of McClure. The programme was, as it has been unearthed, that the pris- oner, in company with Barnhill, should be taken to the residence of Miss Men- doza, in order to bid her good-by, and at her house the officer was to be held | up and the prisoner liberated. This scheme coming to the ears of Sheriff Burr, through trusties in the county jail, naturally fell through. Miss Mendoza, however, obtained a ticket to Mojave and left the night be- fore the prisoner was taken north. At Mojave she obtained two tickets to Sacramento, and had her baggage checked accordingly. The officer who was in charge of the prisoner states that he allowed him to go into the closet, when the door was locked upon him, and that when he went to investigate his man was gone. Chief Lees has been furnished with a full description of Felkens and his detectives are on his track, as it is believed that he is in this city. ———— AN UNTIMELY DEATH. Edwin M. Stanton Dies From an Attack of Pneumonia. After an {llness of five days Edwin M. Stanton, a brother of Dr. James Stanton, the Railroad Commissioner, died yesterday from an attack of pneu- monia. The death of the young man oc- curred at a time when he was just be- ginning to reap the benefits of hard study and long experience in his chosen profession. He was but 81 years of age, courteous, kind and gen- tle, endearing himself to all his friends, and was extremely popular. He was a graduate of Santa Clara College, in which institution he began his studies in electricity and showed marked abil- ity. After leaving college he con- tinued his studies, and was bound to have made a name for himself, when death cut him off in his prime. His loss was a great blow to his family, and will be sad news to his hundreds of friends. —_————— Albums, toflet cases, wave crest ware and glass vases cheap at Sanborn & Vail's. ». CLAIMS T0 BE PERSECUTED Charles Weber at the Receiving Hospital Charged With Insanity. Claims That His Wife Drinks and Becomes Violent While Intoxicated. Charles Weber, a cabinet maker, who has been living with his wife at 129 Third street, is in a padded cell at the Receiving Hospital, charged with insanity. About five months ago he was released from the Ukiah asy- lum, where he had been confined for thirteen months, but, according to his story, he was put in the kitchen there two days after his arrival He tells a story of persecution on the part of his wife, which is belleved at the hospital. He said last even- ing: “I am as sane as any man could wish to be, but my wife is the cause of all my trouble. - Once before I was railroaded to the asylum, but this time I will fight the case and prove to the satisfaction of the court that my story is a true one. “The truth of the matter is that my wife drinks and then commences abuse which compels me to leave the house. A few days ago a friend of mine gave me a bottle of whisky for a Christ- mas present, but when I got it home my wife confiscated it. The result is that I have a large pet lump over my right eye from a blow she gave me.” Mrs. Weber denied her husband’s statement, but when she called to see him at the hospital he told his story and the matron asked Mrs. Weber to retire. The case will come before the Insanity Commissioners in a few days, and the attendants at the hospital are confident that Weber will prove con- clusively that he is the victim of cir- cumstances and not of any disease of the brain. — Mrs. Craven Granted Time.

There Must Be Funds Before Demands Will Be Honored. Judge Daingerfield Settles the Order of Precedence in Pay- ments. Judge Daingerfield has settledatleast one point in the suits over the Dupont street bond issue, which will be of more than passing interest to those who still hold on to the instruments over which there has been such a legal wrangle. He has decided in what order they shall be paid, and as it has already been deci- ded that they shall be paid, his de- cision amounts to a settlement of the case. The deeision was rendered in the suit of Albert Meyer against the Treasurer, to compel him to pay the bonds held by Meyer, which had been submitted to him for payment, but which had been refused on account of the lack of funds. This lack of funds had been caused by the many suits which had arisen over the assessment district and which had delayed payment of taxes until the bonds became due, there not being enough money in the treasury to | pay them. They became due on Janu- | ary 1 of 1897, and at once the demands | came in at a rate that quickly exhaust- | ed the funds on hand. Then it became a question whether the one who first applied or-the one who first applied | after more money had been turned | into the fund was entitled to have his | point the suit | Just decided turns. | On July 27, 1897, there was turned | into the treasury nearly $20,000 for the | bond fund, and as much more for the | coupon fund. On July 3, after the Tax | Collector had turned the first install- ment of taxes over t> the Treasurer, but before the funds had been segre- gated, Meyer demanded payment on a | number of his bonds, and he was re- fused because of lack of funds. i On July 28, after the fund had been segregated, George T. Bowen submit- ted a numbef of his bonds for payment, | and they would have been paid but for proceedings brought against the Treas- | urer by Meyer. In these proceedings | Bowen intervened. | In these proceedings Judge Dainger- | fleld has decided that the bondholders | must watch the treasury, and when | they find there is money there they must present their bonds, otherwise they may have to walt while others more watchful come before them. He holds that a demand on the treasury, when there 18 no money to pay the de- mand, is of no effect whatever, and the man who comes when there Is money is entitled to payment on demand, so the holders of bonds must bide their time and put in their bonds when there There was some attempt to bring | into the case the provision of the | Coneolidation Act, which requires that all demands on the treasury ‘‘made under the provisions of this act” shall be registered and paid in the order of their submission; but it was point- ed out that the act does not cite Du- pont-street bonds as one of these de- mands, and so the question of regis- tration was at once eliminated from the matter. In his decision Judge Daingerfield allows Meyer payment on one bond or $1000 and $1400 on coupons; to Bowen, the intervenor, who submitted his bonds after the Influx of money on July 27, he allows payment on sixteen bonds, or $16,000, and over $1100 on coupons. The small amount of the judgment to Meyer is due to the fact that he must take what is left after his more fortunate opponent has had his chance on the funds. It now remains for the bondholders to have the remaining injunction suits now pending—there are only four—dismissed on the authority of the test cases which have already been decided and then to sit down quietly, saying nothing to rival bondholders and keep a bright watch on the treas- ury. When there i{s money there they must hurry down and put In their de- mands or some more fleet-footed cred- itor will get in before them. The amount of money represented in the still outstanding bonds will mount up to over $260,00( AN OFFICIA VISITATION The Grand Exalted Ruler of the B.:P. O. E. With San Francisco Lodge.
