Beatty of the firm of Short- | ridge & Beatty, attorneys for Mr. How- | ard, made the following statement to | The Call last night: “Chief Lees is absolutely mistaken in his statement of Mr. Howard's record which he furnished the newspapers last night. He has undoubtedly confused some criminal with my client. As a matter of fact, Howard is a man be- | tween 35 and 40 years of age. Accord- ing to the statement given by the police the man Doyle, they claim to be How- ard, must be at least 45 years of age. Howard as a matter of fact was born |in India, not in Australia at all. He was in the British naval service and re- signed from that some years ago be- se of his health. He vi ed Califor- | nia‘ at the time Kellcgg was shot as a midshipman on a British man-of-war. He was never in jail in Sydney. He was | never arrested In Australia, either for obtaining money under false pretenses any other crime. He was never in jail in any part of Australia. He is not now a fugitive from jistice nor is there a sentence hanging over him in Aus- tralla. Nor are extradition papers on way from Australia. Howard came to San Francisco five or six years ago. He has lived in this city and vicinity almost continuously ever since. He returned on a visit to | Australia a year or more ago with his wife and family. He put up at the best hotel in Melbourne—he lived for a long | time at the Hotel Metropole in Sydney. Before he left Australia he was known as Augustys Howard, his true name, and when he visited that country a year or so ago he register>d as Augus- tus Howard, and was known by no other name than Augustus Howard. “In 1897 Mr. Howard was arrested in San Francisco for obtaining a piece of iron used in an invention of his of the value of $710 by fraud. The man who caused his arrest refused to swear to a warrant to the complaint and the | trial Judge and Prosecuting Attorney | both declared that it was entirely and | absolutely unwarranted. Mr, Howard, as far as I know, has swindled no- body out of small amounts of money. Among the papers now in my pos- years ago. when the | | little: girls. know | | Creek. | Burk and J. D.

As a matter of fact, from what we know of Mr. Howard and his record we do not fear comparison Willard R, Green. When these | cases are tried, if they ever are tried, we have in our possession a large quan- tity of evidence about Mr. Green, the prosecuting witness here, and we ex- pect to produce it. “The sleuth story told by Detective Gibson and his confreres of murder and sudden death on the Alameda reads like messenger boy's dime novel. Tt is ab- solutely without foundation. The case of Howard s to be the case of any | man who gets into serlous trouble in | n Francisco. He is blamed for evefy- | thing that is discovered in the criminal | line: for example, the robbery of the 500 from Wells-Fargo's —messenger | wagon and the 5000 guineas from the | steamship Alameda, are both laid to:! Howard hecause the true culprits have not been discovered. “The main warrants that are issued for Mr. Howard’'s arrest are on two | charges—one of embezzlement and the | other of obtaining money on false pre- | tenses. As a matter of fact, the same transaction and the same money are involved in both charges, a different amount being named. This, of course. is done for the purpose of placing Holv- ard In a position making it impossible for him to raise the bail required. When Mr. McDonald was arrested for steal- ing several million dollars from the People’s Bank his bail was only $100,000, while Howard is expected to furnish cash ball in excess of that amount. “We have not advised Mr. Howard or suggested to him at any time that he leave the city because of these charges. We, on the contrary, have al- ways advised him that he had nothing to fear from them except, perhaps, the Inconvenience of being detained in the City Prison for a few days. We know that Mr. Howard had arranged for a bail of reasonable amount when his ar- rest was threatened. Where he is now, I do not know.

A great crowd gathered to receive the arms. 5 The possibility of war with Great Britain is about the only subjeet dis- cussed and it is generally felt the burghers should be considered before extreme measures are adopted. President Kruger has issued a bro- chure supporting his proposal regard- ing the removal of religious disabili- ties. It is characterized by a free use | of Scriptural texts.

He had just fallen and saw one of the two men run to his side. One of them sai “‘His coat must be taken off. He will be too hot.” The speaker then took the wounded advocate's coat off and another man M. Labori, however, fused to allow the wallet to be taken out of his hands, putting it under: his head for a pillow and holding it with one hand. The coat was/shortly after- ward put on again. On arriving at his residence M. Labori asked his wife to look into the pockets and see {f “the contents were safe. Mme. Labori found the pockets completely empty. Luckily no papers of importance were in the pockets, which only contained personal ceived on the previous day. The rifling of the lawyer's pockets of the papers and the attempt to steal his wallet, | while no effort was made to appropri- ate his watch or money, are regarded as clear evidence of a plot in which several men were implicated. The man who actually fired the shot, it appears, was only one part of the machinery of the conspirators. In spite of the extensive search made for the would-be assassin, he is still at large, and the impression Is gaining ground that he is being alded by the anti-Dreyfus country people. The doctors in attendance upon M. Labori have sent to Paris for an X-ray apparatus in order to locate the bullet.
