Swift for felony in obtaining | money by false pretenses under the firm | name of Swift & Co. The indictment re- cites that Swift by false and lmudulent’ representations obtained possession of goods and money of the city and county in the sum of 92%; that he falsely | pretended to have delivered to the Board | of Education on June 18, 1597, and on other dates, 295,750 fancy shingles at $19 per thousand, whereas he did not deliver the shingles at all, though Re was paid the | sum stated by the city fbr so doing. | Indictments were also returned against | Thomas A. Burns and John J. O'Brien | for defrauding the city and county out of | $8110. Burns was a member of the School | Board and O'Brien Inspector of Bufldings | when the alleged frauds were perpetrated, | and it is charged that they were in col- on with Swift. The cases against the | cused were brought to trial recently, but they escaped on a technjcalit: Bail was fixed at $2500 for Swift and $2000 | each for Burns and O'Brien. The Grand Jury also considered the | complaint of Mitchell Ackenhell, a«Sut- | ter-street car conductor, who accises Na.- | gel & Mitchell of defrauding him out of $114. The firm acted as his attorneys in a suit against the road for damages, and Ackenhefl claims that they induced him to pay the money for court fees. They then had him sign an agreement purport. ing to give them one-fourth of all they recovered, when, In fact, it was a surren- der of the $114, of which he was ignorant, because he cannot read English. -— Has Jumped Her Bail. Marie Henhe, alias Lizzie Hall, allas Lizzie Higgins, has jumped her bail of $50 | and a bench warrant is out for her arrest. She failed to appear In Judge Conlan's | court yesterday to answer the charge of | vagrancy and incidentally trying to induce two young girls, Mabel | Brown and Lottie Dennison, to go with | her to Duluth, Minn. Chief Sullivan yes- | terday morning received a dispatch from the Chief of Police in Duluth stating that | the woman was a bad _character and that | her alleged husband, Charles P. Hall, the Alaska miner, had not married her there. The police will make no effort to arrest her, as they consider the city well rid of such a character. — el Past High Chief Rangers.

F. O'Brien, who gave | his address as 1033 Green street, made a | desperate attempt to jump overboard from the steamer Ozkland. During the | afternoon he put in an appearance at the | ferries and told Officer Campion that he was going to commit suicide. “My fife | has been one long fight against adverse circumstances,” said he, “and now I am going to end if all.”” Campion kept watch on O’'Brien, and when he boarded the Oakland toid Second Mate Scott to keep watch on him. When the ferryboat was nearing Goat Island O'Brien got into & dark corner and began taking off his clothes. Second Mate Scott then locked him up and turned him loose when the steamer got back to San Francisco. By that time O'Brien had changed his mind and promised to go home and not again attempt to end his life.
