The crowd that had gathered in the courtroom at once formed the impres- sion that Poulln had jumped his bail, but this was an error. Judge Mogan an- nounced that he would call the case again at 12 o'clock and if the man wanted did not appear at that time he would issue a bench warrant and declare the bail for- feited. Detective Cody sought the telephone and succeeded in locating Poulin. That individual and Judge Pierce, his attor- ney, appeared at 11:30. The lawyer said his client had understood that to appear any time during the forenoon, and he had been busy all the mornin trying to secure bondsmen in the sum o 32000, in order that McLachlan might draw down his $1000 in cash. The excuse was accepted. “Has a complaint been filed in this 67" asked Attorney Pierce. “There has not,” answered the clerk, and Detective Cody, who was present un- der instructions from Acting Chief B, said Mrs. Dart, the mothet of the dead girl, had sald she would swear to a com- plaint if the officers could find a charge on which Poulin could be prosecuted.

PATROLMEN ARE CHARGED WITH EXTORTING COIN timized. THREE OFFICERS SUSPENDED S g PROMPTLY. e o fas | Biggy Learns of What Is Going On | and the Stars of the Ac- cused May Be Asked For. i Corruption will not stand much chance in the Police Department of this city as long as the present alert acting Chief is in charge of that municipal body. This was demonstrated clearly yesterday when acting Chief Biggy created a sen- sation in the department by suspending three well-known patrolmen on the charge of extorting money from Chinese whom they placed under arrest. The promptness with which the acting Chief “got on the inside” of what was going on in this particular case was a matter of surprise and consternation to those who are charged with the offense and who will have to answer before the commission at an early date. Willlam E. Rice of 1800 McAllister street, Neil Riordan of 710 Castro street and Eu- gene C. Robinson, residing at the Russ House, are the men who were suspected yesterday and the evidence against them as it stands now is very strong. China- men who allege they were victims of the extortion make direct and positive asser- tions regarding their ylelding up coin to the bluecoats under suspicion. It is stated by the witnesses that these officers have been In the habit when ar- resting men found sleeping in the Chi- | nese houses of 11l fame to discharge those and to jail those who would not give up. Two of the policemen, Riordan and Robinson, according to stories told by Chinamen last night raided a houso in St. Louis alley early Sunday morning and arrested three Chinamen there. The of- ficers started with these Chinamen to the California-street station. The next morning friends of the ar- rested Chinese went to the station to bail them out. The desk man there looked over the books and sald there must be a mistake, as no such names as those | money went glven were on it. The men with the bail downstairs and looked through the bars. Thelr friends were not there. They went back to their quarters Arrested Chinese Vic~| ACTING CHIEF OF POLICE ACTS | friends. much puzzled and later in the forenoon met their friends on the street. The lat- ter explained that they had given bail money to the policemen who had started toward the jail with them. The amount | pald was 315, or $5 aplece. The arrested men, according to their story, not only were made to give up In order to secure their release, but, being “broke,” were led all over Chinatown in an effort to borrow the money fro: ting $6 50 at one place, another raised $8 60 at another house. One of the men from whom part of the money was borrowed was brought here yesterday from San Jose, where he had fone Monday. The other one is located. t 18 said the three Chinamen who were “shaken down and the two from whom the money was borrowed will testify to all the foregoing statements concerning the alleged extortion. Raids were made also on Jackson street and Ross alley, and those Chinamen who had it, so the Mongolians declare, were released upon g‘.\'ln% up $3 apiece to the arresting officers. Those who_ could not locate the necessary amount in their pajamas became the victims of their pov- erty and were turned into the prison. All three of these officers were members of Sergeant Ellls’ squad. The other mem- ber of the squad was of 2913 Bush street. He was not suspend- ed, though he has been a running mate of Rice’s since they were placed in China- town. Rice and Morton are of the Cen- tral station and Riordan and Robinson of the Seventeenth and Howard street sta- tion. Yesterday forenoon at 9 o'clock, so it was said in Chinatown last night, all the officers of Chinatown squads were lined up at the hall and two of the Chinamen who claimed they were robbed of $5 each | were asked to point out the men who had | robbed them. They pointed out Riordan | and Robinson at once. One of the most important witnesses will be_a Chinese native son of 20 Ross alley. He is said to be the man who first | informed on the policemen. Each of the accused men has been on the force several years. It is not known how long the system of extortion so sud- denly brought to light by Chiet Biggy has been going on. The first intimation of it leaked out Tuesday. DONOVAN IN CHINATOWN. Sergeant With an Excellent Record ‘Will Suppress Mongolian Crime. Sergeant J. T. Donovan, one of the most efficlent officers on the police force, has been transferred from the O’Farrell street station to the California street station. Donovan will now have charge of the second police district, which includes Chi- natown and Barbary Coast. His past rec- ord as an officer in the Chinese quarter induced the change, and his experience is expected to have much weight in sup- ressing crime among the Mongolians. ,gergmnt James Anderson, who has had charga of the second district for years, s ‘ | will - assume Donovan's dutles at the who would pay what the policemen | W! thought a reasonable price for dismissal | O Farrell street station.
