10 THE MISSING PAPERS MYS The Documents in the Becker- Creegan Forgery Case Bob Up From the Void. Found in a Safe Where They Did Not Be- long and No Rea They Got There. The indictment, the judgment roll and the other papers in the Becker-Creegan forgery case that mysteriously disap- peared from the office of = the County Clerk, just as mysteriously reappeared in the custody of the city official yesterday. The papers were found to be missing on Saturday morning and all that day nearly. the entire force of the County Clerk was engaged in the search for them. The ut most efforts were made to keep the fact that the papers had gone from becoming public, but The Call yesterday announced the fact that they had disappeared. Chief Lees was worried over the failure to find the papers in the custody of the County Clerk. He believed he had been outwitted by the gang of forgers and that there was a clear way for the men he is holding in custody to regain their liberty. It was the plan of Dean, one of the forgers who is being held as a witness against Becker and Creegan, to apply for a writ of habeas corpus to-day, hoping to secure his release. are found it is not known whether that plan will be changed or not. With the documents missing it would be an easy matter for him to secure his freedom. With Dean out of the way there would be nothing in the road of securing a dismis- sal of Becker and Creegan, the two prin- cipals in the forgery case. About two years ago a ‘‘raised” draft on the Nevada Bank was cashed by the | Crocker-Woolworth National Bank and the forgers cleared $22,000 by the deal. They immediately went East, but they were apprehended and Dbrought back. Becker and Creegan were the principals in the crime and two others named Dean and McClusky were used by them as stool pigeons to ossist in working the forged paper through the ban! The forgers Wwere exceedingly clever in their work, and when caught the police could find but lit- tle evidence against them, and certainly not enough to convict all fo Chief L - promised McClusky and Dean their lib- | erty if they would testify against their comrades, Becker and Creeg: The offer | was accepted and at the trial the two | principals were convicted.

A few days ago the Supreme Court granted the two convicted men a new trial on the ground that the lower court had erred in admitting the evidence of McClusky and Dean for the prosecution. the court holding that the two witnesses were accomplices in the crime. Accord- ing to the decision of the higher court it looked like smooth salling for the two convicted men regaining their. liberty The evidence of Dean. was all that could convict them and there remained some by which it could be admitted. To make liberty sure must - be got be the reach of the It was planned to-day his would ask the for writ of habeas corpus for his a from custody on the ground that there was no reason for holding him in piison. With the disapp papers in the forgery e brought before the court to show why he was kept in custod His rel from Chief Lees' grasp would naturally follow and at the coming new trial of the prin- clpals in the forgery they would ure their acquittal for the want of evidence. Becker, the alleged leader of the gang of forgers, had at the time of his arrest a good bank account and he boasted that if could secure his release and that omrades they would never serve a term In_prison. How the papers disappeared from their proper place in the County Clerk’s office is not known and perhaps it will never be Xknown. Deputy Mulcahy, who has charge of the papers of the criminal cases, has | in the many years he has been in the service of the city in clerical positions:-at the city ball' proven. himself a trust- worthy man, but there are many who have access to the documents filed ‘with him’ thr e of the rules an cipline of the office where he s ¢ red.

It was hinted by some of the city officials that the persons who were responsible for the disappearance of the documents made a bold move to | cover up their tracks by returning the papers to the County Clerk’s offlce.

He was lounging In a cigar store near the City Hall, where many of the clerks in the city congregate, when Chief Lees approached him and asked for information concerning the missing apers.

Course of the Commercial Organiza- tions Heartily Approved by the People of the Coast. There is no abatement In the movement to have the United States retain the Phil- | tppine Islands by the people of this local- ity and entire Coast for that matter. On Friday a joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Manufacturers and Producers’ Association and Merchants’ Assoclation Wwas held and resulted in onme of the strongest memorials ever sent from the | Pacific Coast being telographed to Pres- | ident McKinley, urging him to retain the tslands in the far East that Dewey so gal- lantly tock away from the Spanish. The | argument is that if to the victors belong spoils there 1s no reason why Uncle | hould give back to Spain that which has cost good American blood and mil- | jions of dollars to secure. Not only are the business men of San Francisco urging that the islands be retained, but the com- mercial bodies of all the other large cities along the Coast are deeply interested to the same end. The action of the organ- izations' mentioned has been heartily in- dorsed, as shown by letters and telegrams receleved Saturday by President Hugh aig, .0f which the following are sam- e Hugh Craig—Dear Sir: If the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce makes any expression of opinfon in. relation -to peace with Spain, don’t forget that in any event we must retain the Ladrones and Carolines, as they are stepping stones on the way east.

The California_State Board of e, representing every section of Califihia, is not behind in this respect, but {8 di- rectors were not able to assemble atfilort notice as many live some distanceffom the city. At first it was thought hest to bring up the subject at' the monthly meet- ing, which will be held next Tuesday, but as peace negotiations and the future of the Philippines are now being considered by President McKinley and ils Cabinet, it was thought best not to delay the mat- ter any longer. Yesterday President N. P.Chipman made up his mind to_call a special meeting of the Board of Trade to frame a resolution on similar lines to that sent by all of the other commerclal and industrial bodies of the Coast. The meeting will be held to- morrow at 2 o'clock at the Mechanics® Pavilion. Tt is well known that General Chipman is strong for annexation. Shortly after the magnificent victory of Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay the people of C.: eral Chipman’s home were holding a cele- bration in lonor of the occasion, and the General made a few remarks. In his sgpc(‘,h he stated that he was firmly of the belief that the islands in question should never be allowed to go back under Spanish rule, or woerse, be Ziven over into the hands of a horde of semi-savages. Pl B < VACATION IS OVER. Considerable Confusion Expected at the Reopening of the Schools To-Day. The city schools reopen this morning, and more than the usual incidental. con- fusion which follows the reorganization of the classes after a vacation is expected by the Board of Education and the teach- ers. It is impossible to estimate how many thousand children will apply for admission to the schools, but it is known that the number will exceed any previous year. Considerable trouble is anticipated in_the Richmond District, where the school rooms are wholly inadequate to accommodate the classes. The same con- dition also exists in the Mission.

DISGRICE FOLLOWS DISYISSAL Employes at Agnews Figure in a Divorce. SUIT WILL BEGIN TO-DAY CO-RESPONDENTS IN A CHARGE OF INFIDELITY. Names of Mina White, Lena Chap- lain and Ella Royce Again Brought Before the Public. One of the most sensational divorce suits of the year will be commenced in Judge Hebbard's court this morning by Amelia Ingugla against her husband, John B. Inguglia, on the grounds of in- fidelity. The action involves Misses Mina White, Lena Chaplain and Ellen Royce, the two latter being named as the chief co-respondents in the complaint. In the Agnews Insane Asylum scandal, it will be remembered, Miss Chaplain and Miss Royce were recently discharged from the Institution for improper conduct. Ever since they were compelled to leave the institution they have exerted every effort to be reinstated on a plea of inno- cence, which they maintained they could prove beyond a doubt to both the satis- The story that Amelia Inguglia tells Is an Interesting one. She claims that her husband had been keeping company with the women mentioned in the complaint for several months prior to the time she became aware of the fact. He would make supposed visits frequently to San Jose, when in fact he was in the city in company with one of the three women mentioned. He would absent himself in this way for several days at a time. The wife's suspicions were aroused, however, when crossing over on the ferry beat from Oakland to the city some time prior to the filing of the complaint, she noticed her husband’s head nestled in the lap of an_unknown woman. She said nothing at the time, but re- solved to wait for an opportune moment when she could place the evidence of in- fidelity plainly before her unfaithful hus- band. Mrs. inguglia upbralded her hus- band for his conduct on the evening men- tioned and he rebelled on the ground that he was younger than she and of course could not be expected to know as much of worldly things and the ways of the world as his better-half. This episode did little toward encour- aging Inguglia to tread the path of vir- tue. He longed for feminine company outside his own domicile and sought to enjoy it by making the White, Chaplain and Royce women substitutes for the un- congenial company of his wife. He represented to these women that he was a millionaire and cared nothing for the minted metal which he allowed, under their careful direction, to flow in a steady stream for their pléasure while his wife was in want at home. The moment a man takes to evil ways on the tenderloin he becomes immediate- 1y known; and his reputation for a good jolly fellow spreads like wildfire among its denizens. Inguglia won this reputa- tion, but failed to keep it confined in the district where it was gained. His wife knew of it, and before long was a wit- ness to his wild conduct, Hoping to meet her hushand and at- tempt to persuade him to forsake the life he was leading, she wandered into his usual haunts and awaited his coming. The position she occupled was opposite the Willlam Tell House. Not caring to gain any unpleasant notoriety by stand- fng there subjected to the continual gaze of passers-by, she applied for permission to take a position in the upper part of a | livery stable. from which she could have a full and unobstructed view of the.street and hotel. Mrs. Inguglia had hardly gained the window when she. noticed a le walking down the opposite side of the street arm in arm. The first casual look sufficed to con- vince her that it was her husband in company with an unknown woman. They entered the William Tell House and pres- ently appeared in apartments. above, where by the light in the room the wife identified the unknown woman as Ella TOMMY CARROLL’ INTRODUCED ‘I‘Nlr Hoo ' WET IS BROW WAS o wiTH HONEST: SWEATZ ENTRAL PARK looked like old times again yesterday, big men, small boys, policemen, horses and dogs forming a good-natured but mnoisy crowd.
