Midnight Visit to the Mint Is Told Of by Two ‘Watchmen. Important testimony by lock experts comcerning the combination on the door of the cashier’s vauit in the United States Mint at the time of the recent robbery was given yesterday in the trial of Wai- ter N. Dimmick in the United States Dis- trict Court. It was proved that the lock had been tampered with and could have been opened at any hour, regardless of the time attachment that was a part of it. That Dimmick could have learned the combination while Cashier Cole was ad- justing it was also testified to, and that he did know it was intimated in the tes- timony. | Several witnesses were placed on the and to relate stories of Dimmick’s mid- night jvisits to the Mint. Two watchmen said that the accused, some time about the middle of March, 1901, was seen to pass from his office shortly before 12 o’clock at night and take a Mission street car in the direction of the ferry. Dim- mick carried a dress suit case, which, ac- cording to the testimony of one of the clerks, he had brought to the Mint early in the morning. On another occasion, and about two months later than the event just related, Dimmick was seen to pass from his office into the receiving-room of i the Mint, where he remained probably five minutes. The recelving-room opens into the cashier’s room, from which the | have been | $30,000 in gold is alleged to stolen. The witness to this last transac- tion says it occurred just previous to the midnight hour. Incriminating Statements. There was other testimony as to incrim- ious to-and after the theft had been discovered. The | testimony on this subject were submitted to rigid cross-examinations by Attorney ollins for the defense, but remained firm to their statements. aries Waltz, a lock expert, of 109 et street took the stand for cross- mination when court conv. . He howed to the jury how the “dog’ of the time lock on the cashier’s vault had been | filea down, rendering it useless. He also explained the workings of time locks, and said that such appliances with defective “‘aogs' out regard to the hour at which they had | been set. Attorney Collins for the defense attempted to show that the lock was in but he failed. proper “‘dog,” ‘Waltz described the lock as being gen- | erally tampered with. He said that the bolts, wires and screws were all loose. Collins wanted to know if, had certain defects not existed, the lock would have been all right. judged the lock by all defects as he found { them. Finally Judge de Haven put a stop to_further waste of time on the subject. Witness then explained the setting of the combinations and the manner of chagging them. He told of the ability of a person standing at the back of the door to ascertain the combination while another person standing in front turned the spindle to the correct numbers. Col- lins stood in front of the “‘dummy” door, turning the knob, while Waltz called off the numbers from the back. Collins turned fast, obliging the witness to call a balt o» speed several times. Judge de Haven finally insisted that Collins treat | the witness fairly. This testimony was introdused for the purpose of showing that Dimmick, when he stood at the back of the vault door with Cole in front, could have easily learned what the combination was. Waltz resumed the stand after the noon recess, and the prosecutijn explained to the court that during thB recess Collins and Dimmick had worked on the lock. This was introduced to show that Dim- mick understood its workings perfectly. John P. Bergin, vault expert for the United States Treasury Department, was the next witness. He has been acquaint- ed with the profession of testing locks since 1579, and came to San Francisco in July, 1901, at the request of the Govern- ment. | | Conversations With Dimmick. Bergin said that it was possible for a | man to ascertain a combination by view- irg its mechanism from the rear. He | thought that a person endowed with an average amount of intelligence could | name at least six or eight combinations to the hour. Bergin then told of the dis- covery of the mutilated “‘dog’ and bolt and of experiments made, which proved that the time attachment had been ren- dered practically worthless. jamin W. Day, who succeeded Dim- mick as chief clerk, told of conversations | he had had with the defendant at various times. “On June 28" said the witness, | “I was standing with Dimmick while Mr. | Leach was trying to open the vault. I | observed that Dimmick took a memoran- dum from his pocket and consulted it. I asked him if he did not know the com- bination and he replied that he did not. When Dimmick infgrmed me of the dis- covery of the theft he remarked: “This is one of the most mysterious affairs that ever happened. Thirty thousand dollars has been stolen between the door of this the cashier's vault and the vault down- stairs.’ “During March or April,” continued the witness, “Dimmick remarked to me that he expected some day to find the cash- fer's vault in such a condition that it would create a sensation. This remark gave me no surprise at the time, but I consider it singular. owing to the fact that there was not the slightest suspicion of possible loss at that time.” W. P. Hundley, assistant weighing clerk, testified that on June 28 he askea Dimmick to open the vault and that the latter replied -that he would not touch it for $250,00. Cashier Cole was ill at the | time and Hundley and other employes ary. W. P. Cole was recalled by as to the adjusting of the combination in September, 1900. Collins brought under discussion’ another lock on the vault. | The prosecution objected to this as the upper lock in the vault had been the only one in use. The defense contended that the testimony was material, but Judge de Haven sustained the objection, sayin I think such testimony is Irrelevant and will rule it out.” “We think it is relevant,” said Collins, “and we take an exception to the remark of the court.” That Dress Suit Case. Thomas N. Brickford, night watchman at the Mint, testified that about the mid- dle of March, 191, he saw Dimmick leav- ing the building, shortly before.the mid- night hour, a dress suit case in one hand and an overcoat over his arm. Brickford remarked that Dimmick had been work- ing rather late and Dimmick replied | something about having to check up his | accounts. The conversation was of but a moment’s duration, after which Dimmick walked to the corner of Mission and Fifth streets and took a car in the direction of | the ferry. Collins cross-examined Rrick- | ford on the possibility of the dress suit case being a bundle of ledge: E. R. 8ims, a clerk in Dlml’fi(‘ 's office, said that one morning. about the middle of March, he observed Dimmick bring a dress suit case into the office and set it down or ‘he floor. Sims was followed by Thomas E. Healy, an inside watchman, who, abc it the same time, saw Dimmick pass fron. his office as the midnight hour approached, with the dress suit case in his hand, and go into the street. Healy said that about two months later and at the same hour of the night, Dim- mick opened the door of the chief | clerk’s ofifice and paused on the thres- hold. There were three other watchmen present and Dimmick addressed them, saying: “It is not often I get a chance to see you boys at this hour of the night.” Dimmick then crossed the hall to the door of the receiver's room and romained in the latter room about five minutes, “There is a door,” explained the wit- ness, “leading from the receiver's room into the cashier's room."” After Healy had finished his testimony | court was adjourned until this morning. atements made by the defend- ! tnesses who gave | could be opened at any time with- | i perfect order before Waltz had put on the | | Witness replied that he | | @ittt el i edeteledeieled | were waliting to receive their month’s sal- | the | prosecution for the purpose of testifying | RETIRED ARMY OFFICER'S DAUGHTER < ESTERDAY was the wedding day of Miss Jean McGrogor and Jacob Kullman.

GODLIES FAIL T0 BREAK 00T Chinese Detained at Mail Dock Are Awed by Fire Hoses. Greatly to the surprise and satisfaction of the officlals at the Mall dock, the guests of the Hotel Oriental, commonly called the detention shed, at the Mail dock, behaved admirably yesterday. The Chinese who are belng confined there un- til the Collector of Customs and the Chi- nese Bureau investigate their right to | either land In this country or to pass | through on their way to Mexico, got wind of the fact that the Toyo Kisen Kaisha's Hongkong Maru was to sail for the Orient. ‘They were ready to make a va- llant stand rather than be sent back to the land of the dragon, but two things dissuaded them from making any out breal Captain Anderson, who is in charge of the Mall dock, prepared for emergencies. He had half a dozen hoses fastened to as many hydrants and at a given signal a hydraulic brigade, composed of employes and customs inspectors, were to train streams of water on the belligerent Mon- golians. Then friends notified the im- prisoned Chinamen that R. P. Schwerin | of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, | Who is in_Washington, telegraphed out that the Supreme Court of the United States would shortly hand down a decision | in the matter of the appeals from Cus- toms Collector Stratton’s denial of their | petition to_pass through this country in | transit to Mexico. Rather than receive a ducking for their | pains, the Chinese decided to postpone | hostilities untfl the 23d inst. when an- | other steamer sails for China. Captain | Anderson proposes being on his guard and | will have his hydraullc brigade in readi- ness to repel aitacks. He thinks he has | solved the problem of preventing out- | breaks similar to that which occurred a | month ago and tells the detained Chinamen that they must not shy rice bowls and other articles of tableware at officers who are directed to deport them. As there are ninety-six in the hotel, there will be a warm time there if the Supreme | Court decides they are urnlawfully in this | country. | “Collector Stratton received a dispatch yesterday from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor, instructing him to serve | a notice on the steamship company re- quiring that corporation to deport the | ninety-eight “in transit” Chinese imme- diately. The steamship company in re- ply notified the Collector that the deten- tion shed was constructively the deck of the ship and that it would be responsible should any of the coolies escape.

KODGERS ALLOWS DIVORCE SUIT TO GO BY DEFAULT Fails to Make a Denial of the Charge of Cruelty Preferred by His Wife. Mrs. Sara Rodgers, formerly Mrs. “Ducksy’” Rosenbaum, was granted a di- vorce from Harry Rodgers by Judge Heb- bard yesterday. The decree was granted by default, as Rodgers did not put in an appearance to make a denial of his wife's charges of cruelty. Thus ends a marriage which when it was contracted but six n;onths ago attracted widespread atten- tion. Mrs. Rodgers testified yesterday that her husband frequently struck her, and that he worried her greatly by calling her such names as “miser’” and “tight.” The application of Robert Hancock for a modification of the decree of divorce granted Ella Wood Hancock recently was denied by Judge Seawell. Hancock claimed that the injunction reStraining him from disposing of his property worked a hard- ship upon him, but Judge Seawell did not agree with him. Divorces were granted yesterday to Eva M. Johnson from Andrew A. Johnson, for decertion; Jennie Orem from Edwin- H. Orem, for desertion; Marie Johano from Theo Johano, for cruelty; Margaret Du- gan from Dennis. Dugan, for desertion; Ella O.

NEW YORK, April 15.—Tomas Estrada Palma, President-elect of Cuba, took leave to-day of his friends of Central Val- ley, N. Y., among whom he has lived dur- ing eighteen years of exile from his coun- try. A large crowd gathered at his old home early and escorted him to the station, where another large crowd had assem- bled. The local volunteer firemen and school children, headed by the village band, paraded and nearly every one car- ried either an American or a Cuban flag. ' Farewell addresses in behalf of the citi- zens were made by the Rev. F. C. Hard- ing and Irving Washburn and Palma made a brief response. He said that he left Central Valley with regret, for it had been a haven to him when he was driven from his own country. The people had always treated him with great kindness, he added, and he would always remem- ber it with feelings of deep gratefulness. President Underwood of the Erfe Rail- read gave President-elect Palma the use of his private car for the trip to New York. It was decorated with Cuban flags, bunting and ferns. Palma appeared on the rear platform as the train left the depot and there was a final cheer, louder than all the rest. At Arden the children of the village school gathered to greet the Cuban leader, and although the train did 2at stop, there was a friendly demon- tration. It was 10:40 when/the train reached New York. Palma will remain in New York until to-morrow, when he starts south for Cuba. He will land_at Gibara and will go from there to Bayamo. It was at Bayamo twenty-five years ago that his mother, driven into the jungle by Spanish soldiers, died of exposure, and his first duty in Cuba will be to seek out her ne- glected grave. From Bayamo he will go to Manzanillo, then to Santiago and last to Havana, which he plans to reach on May 9, the day before the Cuban Congress convenes. Amalgamated Workers Meet. WHEELING, W.

The whole session yes- terday afternoon was devoted to the in- vestigation of the testimony given at the Galvin trial. The Clark woman was sum- moned and she told the jury about the commission of the brutal crime. Like Galvin she also has been spending her time in jail waiting for the court to pass sentence upon her. In connection with the case the Grand Jury also exam. ined District Attorney Byington and his assistant, Porter Ashe, Mrs. Foote and the hackman who drove Anita Clark, Gal- vin and their vietim to the Elysium.

McCARTY SAYS THAT HE PAID THE NOTE Horseman Claims That He Gave Bal- ance to Captain Hackett for Mrs. Norton. The trial of the suit against “White Hat” McCarty, a horseman, for a bal- ance of $55135 alleged to be due on a promissory note executed by him in No- vember, 1900, was commenced in Judge Graham's court yesterday. The suit was brought by Mrs. Emma S. Norton, who loaned McCarty $1000, taking as security a chattel mortgage on fifteen of Mec- Carty’s horses. McCarty testified yesterday that the money was borrowed for him by Captain | Hackett, a well known horseman. Mec- Carty also sald that up to July, 1901, he had paid over $600 on the note, and that a short time after that he sold some horses and gave Hackett the balance due on the note to pay to Mrs. Norton.

The inquiry was brought by the proprietors of Lengfeld's Pharmgacy, who applied for a saloon license. ¥ The Commissioners stated that they were opposed to the proposition of granting saloon licenses to druggists, but at the same_time they proposed to see that the law Tegulating | the sale of liquors in small quantities should be observed. By mutual consent representatives of the Druggists' Asso- ciation and the Commissioners will meet next Monday afterncon and discuss the matter. ‘The citation against the Baldwin An- nex was dismissed, it having been shown | that the proprietors had acted in good {aith with the police.
