4 BUCKLEY SWEARS HE 15 INNOGENT Declares Rice Was Shot and Killed by Some Stranger. Prisoner Takes the Witness Stand in His Own Behalf. In a manner characterized by hesita- tion, extreme caution and failure to re- member “essential details, Willlam Buck- ley, charged with the murder of George Rice, a non-union machinist, October 11| t, told his story to a jury in Judge | wior's court yesterday. He placed the| lame for the crime upon a Stranger | whom he never saw before or since the day of the murder. Buckley labored un- der a severe strain while he was testify- in | | ] he defendant attached great impor-|{ tance to his own statement that the stranger wore a black hat, notwithstand- ing the testimony of many witnesses that the assassin of Kice wore a light one. | Buckley said he was 2 vears old and a native of this city. His father died some tlurteen years ago, and about that time he began to earn his living at various pursuits. He first worked in a plumbing | shor then in a cannery and for a time | with an_electric company. he worked at a cannery on Brannan street, remaining there until September. | Tells of the Mysterious Stranger. | It developed that the defendant was once convicted of disturbing the peace and \ fined §.

The Judge sentenced him to im- prisonment for life in San Quentin. Mur- | phy’s face blanched when he heard the sentence, but he did not utter a word Later, while in the City Prison, he asked Sergeant Bidwell to be kind to his mother when she was brought in for drunken- ness, as she has several times been ar- rested on that charge. In passing sentence the Judge said that crimes of violence and robbery must be stopped. When a man like the defendant came into court on such a charge with a prior conviction against him he must take the consequences. There was only one alternative—to impose a life sentence and rid_soclety of such a pest. The crime for which Murphy will spend the remainder of his life in the peniten- tiary was the robbery of Harry Lawrence, Lawrence was walking north on Powell street about 3 o’clock on the morning of December 2 on his way h®me, and when he reached Geary street he was knocked unconscious by a blow on the head and robbed of $210 and a silk handkerchief. Policeman Braig saw three men bending over Lawrence’s prostrate form and chased one of them till he ran inte the HOSTLER FIRES AT POLIGEMEN Mistakes Them for Foot- pads and Uses His Revolver. Thomas Tuohy, & hostler employed in Brooks' livery stable on the corner ot Geary and Polk streets, had a rather live- ly experience early yesterday with three police officers whom he mistook for foot- pads. Tuohy, who is 22 years of age, came here frem New York about a month agb. He says he used to drive a coach there for Perry Belmont. Since getllni employment in Brooks' stables he has been engages driving a carriage for Dr. n. Tuohy had been drinking heavily Tuesday night and left his room on Clay street, near Polk, early yesterday morning to get another- drln} Three policemen who were in citizefle’ dress were standing on the corngr of Pblk and Sacramernto streets and they ordered him to stop, at the same time telling him they were officers. Tuohy did not believe them and thinking they were footpads started to run. The police- men gave chase and Tuohy turned into avenue. The officers continued calling upon him to stop. Tuohy finally turned and drawing a revolver from his pocket fired a shot at the sidewalk with the ob. ject of intimidating his p@irsuers. They the face. Tuohy begged his captors not to kill him and handed one of them his revolver. He was then taken to the City Prison and booked on a charge of assault to murder. The policemen who pursued Tuohy were W. Doran, J. L. Frary and George O. Brown. They had reported off duty at the North End station a short time before and were going home when they saw Tuohy. They determined to halt him, as they thought he was acting suspiclous- 1y, and called out to him to stop, as they were officers, but instead he ran off and fired the shot. The officers say that the bullet from Tuohy's pistol siruck the sidewalk in front of them. Tuohy was taken before Jjudge Cabaniss yesterday morning and the case wad con- tinued till this morning. Walsh Makes Further Gains. The four precincts ~ counted in Judge Murasky’s court yesterday, the Tenth of the Forty-second, Thirteenth of the Thirty-seventh, Twenty-first of the Thirty-fourth and the Eighth of the Forty-fifth District, increased E. L. ‘Walsh's lead of 163 votes over George Al- pers to 174. In the recount of these four recincts Alpers lost nineteen votes and alsh nine. The surprising feature of the day’s count was the fact that in the Eighth of the Forty-fifth District, a pre- cinct carried by the Labor candidates, ‘Walsh made a gain of three votes.
