SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 11.—M. F. Coughran, a local bill collector, who earned considerable notoriety by withdrawing from the bonds of Henry Young, the alleged fire fiend of Tiburon, a day before the latter fled the country, was threatened with arrest to-day on the charge of con- splracy by Attorney Charles Smythe of San Francisco. A similar threat was registered against Justice George Rodden, also of Young-fire-cas fame, who already has troubles of his own in standing off Secretary Case of the Marin County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Coughran was given a bill of $79 05 to collect from Mrs. Helen M. Gurnieau of Manzanita by the Harris Construction Company. A con- stable went to the house with a writ of attachment and Mrs. Martin Es- pinosa, the lessee, became so frightened that she borrowed the money from neighbors. The constable turned over the money to Coughran, but concluded he had made an error and asked that the money be given to Rodden. Instead of giving back the money Coughran gave the con- stable a check, which was placed in Rodden’s hands. Coughran then had the case dismissed and the check was torn in pleces without judg- ment being rendered. Attorney Smythe came to town to-day and demanded from Rodden and was told to see Coughran. He refused, saying that the affair was clearly illegal, that Mrs. Espinosa had been made a victim of legal jugglery and that he intended to have all the parties to it ar- rested on a charge of conspiracy. Justice Rodden turned pale and tremblingly replied that he was innocent of any wrong intention. Coughran declared to two responsible citizens this evening that he would perforate with bullets any newspaper correspondent who dared to publish anything about the affair. One of the correspondents named by him said that he intends to have Coughran arrested for threats against life.
