One of the criminals referred to in Wade's confession, “Kid"” Goucher, has at various times passed as a son of ex-Senator Goucher of Fresno, and the other is a notorious footpad called “Brownie,” who has a wife living in Sac- ramento. About 2:3) o'clock on the morn- ing of Policeman Robinson's murder “Kid"” Goucher was seen hurrying down Market street. He turned into Mason street and took shelter in a saloon. “Brownle” was not with him. The pair had evidently separated after they left Valencia street. The police are now scouring the city and neighboring towns for tne missing murderers. It is quite probable that “Brownle” succeeded in getting to Sac- ramento, where he has friends who will try to protect him until he gets a chance 1o get out of the country. The police, however, are not inclined to believe that either of the men succeeded in escaping from the city, for the reason that they had no funds.'" The murderers did not raie any money as a result of their early morning work in the Mission, but wh eling expenses they would not hesitate to commit any crime. ‘Wanted Money for McNoble. Policeman Robinson was mistaken when | be made the statement that there were four men in the party with whom he had the fatal combat. About 9 o’clock Monday night Wade, the footpad who is now confined in the City | and County Hospital with a bullet hole in his neck and shoulder, and his two “pals,” Goucher and ‘‘Brownie” were seen in & saloon in the Mission. They had been drinking in various saloons in the tenderloin all day Monday, and by night- | time the trio were pretty well under the | influence of liquor and desperate enough to commit any foul deed. The criminals were hard pressed for money. George Mason, alias Moore, alias Pope, the leader of the gang of daring crooks, was in the Stockton jail on a charge of burglary, and bis Jawyer, H. R. icNoble, wanted his fee for defending him. “Kid” Goucher made a ‘trip to Stockton last week and visited, Mason at the Coun- ty Jail. The imprisoned leader of the gang of thugs was ‘anxious about the money he was depending upon his three companions to raise for his defense. When Goucher returned from Stockton Baturday he reported the details of his conversation with the leader of the gang to Jack Wade, who was with Mason when he committed the burglary which landed him in jail, but who escaped to this city. Wade and his associates are said to have written at once to Attorney Mc- Noble, begging him to give them a few more dngs in which to raise. the money. Later they telephoned to McNoble and told him that they would have plenty of money by Wednesday. The murderers were in desperate-straits and when they went out into the Mission Monday night they went to get sufficient money to free Mason at any cost. Criminals Probably in City. The police are satisfied that they will capture the two murderers who are at large within the next twenty-four hours. Late last night the detectives received information that led them to believe that neither of the criminals had left the city. All the detectives available were detailed t> watch the haunts of the crooks, but v to a late hour no arrests had been made. Detectives Wren and Dinan worked beavers all day like yesterday trying to locate " Goucher and “Brownie.” Both men their safety depended upon getting trav- | have long criminal records and are known to the police of nearly every big city on the toast. “Kid” Goucher is_ not as strongly seasoned in crime as “‘Brownie” and Wade, but he has the reputation among the criminal element of being a dangerous man. Chief Wittman and Captain Seymour have taken every precaution to prevent the crooks from leaving the city. Every | &venue of escape is being carefully | guardea and if the murderers are still in | town they will probably be apprehended before the week is out. Prior to the mur- \der of Policeman Robinson the desperate trio made their headquarters in a Mason- street saloon. They have not showed up at thelr usual haunt since. Those who | know Wade, Goucher and “Brownie" say | that they had no permanent place of resi- dence. Wade, who was being tralled by | the Stockton police, was wary of detection and they changed their three times & week. lodgings two or : DANGEROUS CROOKS ARRESTED | | Suspicion That Two Suisun Prison- ers Helped Murder Robinson.

Wearies of Constant Bicker- ering in the Alturas Trial. Day of Excitement and Bitter Quar- reling Ends With Sensa- tional Action by the Court. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. ALTURAS, Jan. 'he session of court in the Lookout lynching case this after- noon was a very short one and it ended disastrously for John E. Raker, one of the counsel for the defense, he' being commit- ted to jall until 1) o’clock to-morrow morning for contempt of court. ‘When the court reassembled for the aft- ernoon Raker attempted to have intro- duced as evidence the search warrants and warrants of arrest issued by J. R. Myers, who was Justice of the Peace of Lookout Township in May last and who is now confined in jail at this place as a conspirator in the lynching of Calvin Hall, James Hall, Frank Hall, Daniel Yantis and Martin Wilson. The warrants were issued for the arrest of the lynched men on charges of theft, and the defense wadted them in- troduced as evidence to show that there were no grounds for the charge made by the prosecution that there was a conspir- | acy to arrest the men ‘and then lynch them. The court ruled adversely to Raker and Spencer, and the claim was made by Raker that the court had previously ruled that the papers in question might be in- troduced when the defense commenced its case. A heated argument followed this asser- tion, Raker claiming that the court was depfiving the defense of legitimate,evi- ence. Raker—You are depriving us of the legal defense of this defendant. The Court—Raker, you are telling a false- nhood. and you know it. . ‘Raker—Why does your Honor take advantage of your position on the bench continually to tell ‘me T lie? The Courf out of court. Raker—Who spoke of attacking you? The Court—John E. Raker, I will commit you to jail until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning for your insulting, insolent conduct. I am heartily sick of it and I will not stand it any longer. Raker—Oh, what - do I want to attack the court for? I don't mean the court or the Judge. I want to attack something when I attack anybody. The Court (angrily)—I am getting tired of your insolence, and I will send you to jail until 10 o'clock to-morrow for your misconduct. Raker—As a gentleman 1 must resent the in- sinuations of the court that 1 am telling a falsehood. The Court—Recess for fifteen minutes. Vain Pleading of Counsel. Judge Harrington retired to_his ycham- ber, and during his absence Raker con- tinded to harangue the court. A deputy sheriff was finally compelled to order him to cease his remarks in the presence of the jury. Judge Harrington returned to the courtroom and commenced to write Raker's commitment. Raker—I hope to God I am not to be sent to jail for doing what I think right as a gen- tleman. Spencer—I ask that your Honor let this mat- ter pass. It will delay the trial. Mr. Raker felt aggravated at the remarks of the court, and talked back, and I ask you to not delay this case at this time. Judge Harripgton paid no attention to the pleadings of counsel for the defense and continued writing the commitment. The jury was excused and Raker accom- paniéd the Sheriff to jail. In his commitment of Raker, Judge Harrington goes back to the afternoon of January 14 for offenses committed by the lawyer. Judge Harrington says that on that date Raker, in the presence of the jury, used the following language: “Now you can see where the sympathies of the court are in this case.” Also, on the same day, Raker refused to permit the court to examine a document which, the com- mitment asserts, was part of the official transcript of John Hutton's testimony. The defense claimed at the time, and does now, that the document asked for was private property of counsel for the de- fense and the court was not entitled to examine it. The commitment continues: And oh the 224 day of January, in the af- ternoon of said day, in open court, presence of counsel, members of the bar and parties present in the courtroom, counsel for the defendant, John E. Raker, used the fol- lowing language: ‘‘Oh, what do I want to attack the court for? T don't mean the court. u or_the want to. attack somebody When I attack anybody.” The court found Raker guilty of gross contempt and ordered®his confinement in the County Jail until 10 o'clock to-mor- row morning. Court had hardly assembled this morn- ing when the usual row commenced. It was precipitated when Sturtevant, for the prosecution, réquested that the jury be excused to permit him to make an appli- cation to the .court. Sturtevant asked that the Sheriff be instructed to bring into court E. S. Trowbridge, Orin Trow- bridge, Fred Roberts, Harry Roberts, J.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA SHOW FRIENDSHIP FOR AMERICA E;xplanaflons Are Made at Paris and St. Peters- burg Concerning Conflict With Spain. N ARIS, Jan. 22.—In view “of the statement made by Lord Cran- borne, British Under Secretary of State for Forelgn Affairs, in the House of Commons Monday on the subject of representations made to Great Britain before and after the out- break of the Spanish-American war and the dispatch from London yesterday on the same subject, The Call correspondent made inquiries in an authoritative quar- ter here and received the following ex- planations, which throw a somewhat dif- ferent light on the subject: In the first place, in the Spanish negotia- tions, at the end of March, 1898, to secure the intervention of the powers in her fa- vor, Great Britain took the same atti- tude as France and the other powers. She neither refused nor consented to join in eollective action. All the powers were hes- {tating until they ascertained the inten- tions of the others. Russia settled the mat- ter ‘by the late Count Mouravieff’s blunt rejection of the proposal. Subsequently, after General Woodford's conference with the S‘pnnlsh Premier and Senor Gollon, the Forelgn Minister, at which the latter in- dicated the extent of the surrender Spain was willing to make to the United States’ demands, the Austrian Government, be- lieving Spain’s surrender was sufficiently complete to satisfy the United States, in* structed its embassadors to propose to the European governments that a note be presente at Washington urging the United States to accept Spain’s offer and avert war. The Spanish Embassador in London saw A. J. Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury, who must at that time have been acting as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs during the absence of Lord Salisbury at Beaulieu, France, who promised to instruct Lord Pauncefote to act alone or with his colleagues with a view to maintain peace. No action was definitely agreed on; though Russia, | France and Germany were disposed toward a movement which would avert an outbreak of hostilities. A few days before the war, however, it was declared that Balfour had raised the objection to which Lord Cranborne alluded in the House of Commons Monday against any note which ‘would have the appearance of putting pres- sure on the United States, or offering an opinion on the United States’ attitude. The .ustrian proposition then fell through and the subsequent joint resolution of Con- @ ivivimirilmieimiiiieleiniiee il el e @ | i R. Myers, R. L. Nichols, Joseph W. Lev- enton and Claude Marcus, the prisoners whom Raker and Spencer attempted to have released. yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus. Their petition was not properly presented and they were at that time instructed to amend it. It was evident that during the night Post and his colleagues planned a coup which they partially executed this morn- ing when they asked Judge Harrington to temporarily dissolve his (Superior) court into a magistrate's court to arraign the men named. A storm followed, Raker asking in loud tones; “Is this a Superior Court or not?"” “You can call it by any vile name you please,” replied Judge Harrington, ‘“‘and you and your confreres have said enough | things about it.” Raker objected to the remarks of his ‘Honor, and Judge Harrington arose from his_chair and pointing at Raker sald: “Only this morning one of your friends said in my hearing’that ‘the only way to settle this case was to shoot that Judge.’ Raker objected to the statement that the man who sald it was one of his friends, and asked who made such a remark. The court replied, “‘A. H. Ferguson is the man who said it, and the same remark has been made right here in this courtroom before.” Judge Lectures Raker. ter Judge Harrington stated to a nr’e-;u representative that Delos Brownell, brother-in-law of the defendant, made a gimilar statement in the courtroom ten responsible for the remarks of outsiders. The court—YWell, it was a recognized friend and the remarks have been made e ear—T dom’t propose to allow this court o throw instnuations on me. e court-Raker. T will fell you why I have borne with you for so long. It has been out of consideration for your client. If I were to jail you people would say I am prosecuting the case. I ought to have put you in jail long ago. I know your game—spending two or three hundred doliars a day of the county's money. Raker—You have bsen prosecuting the case. Spencer added a little coal to the Fre by making an insinuation in reference to “the mob of gun-fighters in court.” The court—I can say anything I think right I am not afraid of any men on earth. The atmosphere being somewhat cleared, Raker asked if he understood this was a magistrate's court, and the Judge replied that it was. Raker—The Supreme Court has rendered a decision within the last three days touching this very point. I therefore now request you to discharge these defendants on the ground that they were arrested and not given a pre- liminary hearing before the magistrate issu- ing the warrant or any other in the county: on the further ground that an application for their release on a Writ of habeas corpus has been made, and, furthermore, that the case of Brown has been Interrupted in the Superior Court to hold a preliminary examination' in a magistrate’'s court. The court—Motion denied. Raker—We have another application to make. The court—Raker, you are an obstruction- ist. Raker—We desire t> show that this court is disqualified by reason of it having expressed an opinfon as to the. guilt of these men, and Wwe object to any proceeding for want of juris- diction. The court ordered Raker to be taken out of court, but relented. The court—This court has jurisdiction. You have done nothing but object and obstruct for the last six months. It is orde: that the prelilminary examination of these men be con- tinued until February 3 Witness Contradicts Herself. Mrs. Gibbins was recalled. Answering questions of General Post, she said that Supervisor Kane, whom she had testified as having seen in her father's hotel on the night of the lynching as she came to the door of her mother's room, asked if he could assist. She did not know whether she answered him or not, though yesterday she sald she had had a_con- Versation with him. Asked if she knew a family named Bassett, she replied :n the affirmative, but said she did not re- member ever having spoken to Mrs. Bas- sett about the lynching. Mrs. Gibbins sald that she first told her folks about seeing Samuel Parks-in the hallway the night of the lynching. (Parks testified béore the Grand Jury that he did not see_Mrs. Gibbins, though she swore yes- terday that she recognized him fully and spoke to him.) ‘Asked if she had ever spoken to any- one else regarding Parks, she could re- member only her husband and Mrs. Nich- ols. .

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 2. Firm in the belief that her favorite son still lives, though she had not seen him for twelve years, Mrs. Katherine Hahn, the wealthy Haywards woman, died leav- always directed, in the pourparlers of | in& him an equal share of her estate, the powers, to maintain peace. The ex- act value which should be placed on Great Britain's leaning toward the United States can be gauged, it is declared, by the fact that when war was declared Senor Gollon was furious, firstly against Germany, secondly against Russia and only thirdly against Great Britain. His resentment against Germahy was due to the latter having encouraged Spain to re- sist and then having abandoned her at the last moment. Russia Did Not Participate. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 22.—The cor- respondent of The Call has obtained the following statement from the Russian Foreign Office regarding the announce- which the probate papers show is worth nearly $100,000. The mother's love would never allow her to admit that her son had perished and she has left his share of her estate in trust for him should he ever return. Emil Jacob Hahn was of a roving dis- position, and he seldom stayed home long. In 1881 he left San Francisco for the Orfent on a sailing ship, Nothing was heard of the boy for a year until one day his mother received a letter from him dated at Japan, announcing that he was going to China. The war was then raging between Japan and China and Emil Hahn ment made in the British House of Com- | may have become mixed up in it and mons Monday concerning negotiations be- tween the powers before and after the breakin, war and the assertions made by a British Foreign Office official on the same sub- ect: “Russia has always been and now is extremely desirous of maintaining amica- ble relations with the United States. Russia never had any intention of par- ticipating in any collective step in the Spanish-American dispute, which did not directly concern her. Nor did Russia re- ceive any proposition having such action in view. Indeed, we received no informa- tion regarding Austria’s alleged initiative or about an attempt on the part of any of the powers to interfere in the interest of Spain.” any time during a conversation between her husband and Rev. Mr. Simmons, an objection was made and sustained. : Hj.lll(ler—We propose to show why Myers is n_jail To the witness—Do you understand that the prosecution tried to get Mr. Simmons to In- duce your father to swear to a falsehood un- der a promise that he be released from jail? An objection was sustained. Mrs. Gibbins said that the fact of her father being in jail had no bearing on the truth of her testimony. R. Myers, father of the preceding witness and one of the aged defendants in the case, was then called. Raker of- fered as evidence in the case Myers’ tes- timony before the Grand Jury, but it was objected to. Raker tnen offered as evi- dence the warrants issued by Myers, upon which the men lynched were arrested. but they were not allowed to be placed on the record. The ruling of the court angered Raker, who exclaimed that the court had promised on a previous occa- sion that the papers could be filed as rec- ords in the case. A bitter quarrel fol- lowed, but it was cut short by the court ordering a recess. After the recess the defense renewed_its application, and the commitment of Raker resulted. out of the Spanish-American | { | | perished, for he has never been heard of since. The aged mother would never believe that he was dead. She was always buoyed with the hope that he would come back to her. He was her favorite son. This last letter to her she always cher- ished and it is among her keepsakes in a box in the Union Trust Company’s vaults. She only knew its contents. Before the estate is distributed an effort will be made to find_the long-lost son. B. H. Griften, who has charge of the estate, will communicate with the United States Consuls of Japan and China in the endeavor to trace him. . In disposing of her estate Mrs. Hakn divided it equally among her five children and grandchild. The children are Theo- dore P. Beck, Adolph A. G. Hahn, Emil J. Hahn, George H. Hahn and Rosa S.
