The ferry steamer Piedmont got lost in the fog again yesterday morning. She was thirty minutes late crossing the bay, and when she arrived at the Oakland mole the passengers by the | 7:30, 8 and 8:30 trains were waliting for her. A quick run was made back to San Francisco, but when headed into the slip the captain backed out again, @ithough the mate from the deck called out to him that it was all right and to go ahead. The steamer, however, was backed right out and turned around, going into the slip stern first. This maneuver occupied fifteen minutes, and the atmosphere was blue from the lan- guage of the belated passengers as they scrambled over the baggage and dodged horses and teams in their en- deavor to get ashore. All the horses had to be taken out of the wagons and the | latter had to be run ashore by hand power. To add to the discomfort the | narrow gauge steamer had to follow | the rule laid down by the Southern Pa- | cific, which says that no steamer shall leave her slip while another is trying to make a landing. Luckily there were | not many passengers on the narrow gauge boat, so the delay did not work ‘su great a hardship as it did | on the people on the Piedmont, who were anxious to get to their work.on this side of the bay. » The Pacific Steam Whaling Com- pany’s steamer Alliance sailed for Cop- per River via Seattle yesterday.

[ He visited the store yesterday, and | found certain things that appear to| him suspicious, and lead him to the be- | lief that the fire was of incendiary ori- | gin. The fire started in a storeroom adjoining the bathrooms, and was for- | tunately extinguished before it had got much headway. | “There are seven or eight chairs in | the shop,” said the Fire Marshal yes- | terday, “and each of the barbers has a | locker. At the bottom of each locker is a folding drawer for the men to throw the towels into that have been used. I found all these folding draw- | and from the storeroom | where the fire broke out to the near- est four lockers there is a distinct trafl of bay rum which had been set on fire. I found towels in each of the folding | drawers saturated with coal oil, the idea being that the flame from the bay rum would communicate with the tow- els saturated with coal oil, but it failed from the fact that when the bay rum | was ignited there would follow a quick | flash not of sufficient duration to ig- nite the towels. ‘“‘As soon as I saw this I asked Apos- tolo for an explanation, but he replied that he did not know anything about it. He said he left the shop shortly after 9 c¢'clock Wednesday night and went to his home, at 2112 Geary street. He had no idea whatever as to the ori- gin of the fire, and said the shop was all right when he shut up for sthe night. ““Apostolo told me that the place had been entered by burglars Tuesday night and $6 stolen from the till. He had reported the burglary to the po- lice, I asked Captain Bohen and other officers at police headquarters if the burglary had been reported, but they knew nothing about it. I went back to Apostolo, and told him that no one knew about the burglary, and he then said he had reported it to a reporter. “There is $3750 insurance on thestock and fixtures, which I censider exces- sive. Some of the fixtures I under- stand belong to the proprietors of the Hammam baths. I have no idea as to who set fire to the place, but I am de- termined to make a most searching in- vestigation. It may have been some enemy of Apostolo, but I will do my best to find out the facts, as if the fire had got good headway some lives might have been sacrificed.” The Famous Boot dack Tobacco.

Prosecution Asked for Admis- sion of Evidence in Em- bezzlement Cases. Was Done for the Purpose of Show- ing Cause for the Alleged Murder. The Figel case proceeded as usual yesterday in Judge Cook's court be- fore a large crowd. The witnesses called for the prosecution were briefly questioned, and were soon disposed. of, as the Police Court testimopy was but gone over again in a hurried manner. The most important issue of the day was an argument in the absence of the jury concerning the admissibility of evidence in the embezzlement and for- gery cases for the purpose of fixing a motive for the alleged murder of Isaac Hoffman. The argument consumed nearly the entire afternoon. Louis Friedman, a boot and shoe dealer, at 320 Market street, also testi- fled to having seen Hoffman in front of the store about 6:15 on the night of June 1. He stated that Hoffman ap- peared to be in good spirits, as he had spoken to him, and that if he had con- show it. Harry H. Hoffman, a distant relative of the deceased, testified that a letter mailed at 6:12 on the night of June 1 was written by Isaac Hoffman, and was addressed to Edward S. Rothchild, then in New York. The letter, which was obtained from the postal authori- ties by Chief of Police Lees, contained suggestions for the carrying on of the business for the coming month. H. Justins, a clerk in E. T. Allen’s gun store, testified~during the after- noon’s session. He was called for the purpose of testifying to whether or not Theodore Figel had purchased a re- volver in the store on the evening of June 1. The defense acknowledged the fact that the defendant had made the purchase on the evening in question. It was brought out that the witness had sold the revolver and a box of cartridges to the defendant, and that he again met him on the Tiburon boat at about 6:30 olclock on the same even- ing. ~ In cross-examination he stated that he had seen Figel at 6:05 o’clock in the store, and was positive of the time, as he looked at the clock at the time Figel came into the store and as Mr. Allen went out on his way home. He also stated that he had seen a va- lise carried by Figel. James Doyle, a special officer at the First National Bank deposit vault, said that he had seen Figel at 5:46 o'clock on the evening of June 1, when he had opened his box in the vault at the time mentioned, and that he remained in the building but half a minute. The cross- examination brought out no new points, The testimony given by James G. Ma- loney, a drayman, who cannot be found, at the preliminary examination, was read to the jury. The reading was interrupted by a transfer of the visit- ing crowd that was standing on the main floor to the gallery. Judge Mur- phy said he thought it was an earth- quake. Order was soon restored and the trial proceeded. The cross-examin- ADVERTISEMENTS.

The testimony was principally concerning the time the witness had seen Theo- dore Figel on the evening of June 1, and the fact that he had seen Hoffman standing in the doorway of the store on that evening, and stated that he had heard loud, angry words and a statement from one of them saying, “Come in and I will settle with you,” and the reply, “You have, nothing to settle.” According to testimony the men entered the store and closed the iron doors behind them. After the reading of the testimony the jury was excused at the request of counsel for both prosecution and defense with the object in view of arguing the matter regarding the admissibility of certain evidence concerning the embezzlement and forgery charges. Judge Murphy in opening the argument stated that he proposed to show that money had been appropriated by the defendant and that the receipt for $3500 was forg- ery. The evidence was asked to be ad- mitted by the prosecution for the pur- pose of showing a motive for the al- leged crime, and that evidence tending to show a motive for a crime should be admitted in a homicidal case. In reply General Barnes stated the defendant had been informed against by the District Attorney on serious charges of embezzlement on many business firms, in all seven infor- mations, amounting to about $9000. It was denied as competent evidence, as a motive is immaterial in_crime except as an aid to that crime. It was stated by the defense that there has been no proof of the crime further than that the body had been found, and in itself was not proof of a homicide. The case was gone over in detail by the defense and cases quoted to the Judge bearing out the claims of the defense. General Barnes said that as the corpus delicti had not been shown he would pray the court not to admit the evidence. “Mo- tive can be inferred from a crime,” he said, “but a crime cannot be inferred from a motive.” In reply Judge Mur- phy stated that he would ask that the evidence be admitted, when he should show to the satisfaction of the court that it was good evidence and vital to the case, showing - a motive for the murder of Isaac Hoffman by the de- fendant, Theodore Figel. “A motive,” he said, “was what is being sought for and can only be determined by admis- sion of evidence tending to siow that motive, which we allege was to save himself from many years’ imprison- ment for commission of felonious acts against his employer.” Numerous cases were cited by Judge Murphy bearing on the case. The argument will be continued this afternoon. This morning the court and jury will visit the scene of the shooting and will afterward return to the courtroom, where more evidence will be heard.
