Mining on New Discoveries Is to Commence in November. Alvin E. Hornlein, deputy clerk of the Supreme Court, returned to this city on the steamer Guatemala yesterday from an extensive prospecting tour over the northern half of Nicaragua. He states that he and his companions have located | several valuable gold claims in the moun- tain districts of that country, and that at the ciose of the present rainy scason they ¥l begin to operate the mines on a large scale. i Hornlein, in company with J. M. Nicol city last January for Central America in the interests of a number of It has long been known xtensive gold deposits in and those interested in the that there are Nicaragua, | present enterprise determined to conduct an exhaustive research for some rich gold istrict which would be easily accessible. Hornlein and- Nicol were supplied with plenty of capital and directed to spare neither trouble or expense in- attaining the end desired. At Panama they secured the services of Roderick McKinnon, an expert who Ix the only survivor of another less fortunate expedition. Taking with them a humber of natives as guides and laborers, .the three white men covered on their trip a great stretch of practically unexplored territory. Hornlein states that there is a great deal of gold in the country, but that the facilities for mining are meager and in- adequate. To conduct a paying business, he says, It is necessary to invest a large amount of capital. The backers of the enterprise, who wish to withhold their identity from the. public for the present, have expressed themselves as satisfled with the results which have been at- tained by the young men, and have ar- ranged to finance the scheme. Machinery and other- necessary equipments will be purchased immediately and shipped to Nicaragua, where Nicol, who remained behind, will receive and set up the ap- paratus. Active work on the mines will not be commenced until November on ac- count of the difficulties incident to the rainy season. In addition to locating and incorporat- ing the claims, the party established mall trading stations at Toteca and Su- mutingni, which are on the river several miles above Managua, the capital of the republic. © il el il @ facts so I could communicate with his peonle at once. He Went into the details of the a fair, which convinced me he was not as guil as Officer Levings told me he was. The b said: Mrs. Darling, I am innocen E can square this thing for a oney.” He said that the officer (Levings covld fix it if he would agree to plead guilty to petty larceny, which would give him six menths in the County Jall instead of ten or twelve years across the bay. The officer asked boy how much money he could raise. The { bov =aid he did not know, but would have & talk with me to communicate with his people. The boy then wrote the following telegram, which he asked me to send (original of which is hereto attached): I am in trouble in Hall of Justice, innocently accused. I can square the whole thing for $50. Send me that amount by telegraph to Mrs, Darling, 913 Eddy street. P. E. Crothers.” To Mrs. M. N. Small, Twelfth and K streets, ramento. He asked me to send this to his aunt and that he could square the case for $50. I sent the telegram and also phoned and also sent a letter with a special delivery stamp, which the boy wrote. After leaving the boy Officer Leyings came over and escorted me down stafrs {lie was not present at the time I had the interview with the boy in the prison), and he said, *‘Well, he's guilty, all right.”” I said I don’t know about that: I am going to do { all I can for him, for the sake of his mother." He then said to me: “If he will only have sense enough to plead guilty to petty larceny (as he has been in trouble before) it could be ‘fixed’ for very little, and he would only have to serve gix months, less two for good behavi in the County Jail, insi twelve years acioss the ba: “What do you mean by ‘fixed” that for a very liftle money, for a very lit- tle consideration, that he had the pull and influence, that he couid fix it by charging him with petty larceny. 1 then said: “‘How much will it ta And he said: “‘Find out how much you can get.”” I said 1 would think it over and let him know. He told me he could not tell how much it would be to “‘fix'’ the case. He said: “I can't talk to you down here, what time will (Monday) ? you. be home this evening I said I would be home any time and that he could come up, and that I would then tell him definitely what I could do, as I intended to leave no stone unturned to help the boy. Iasked him if hé would phone me, and he said it was best not to; that he would be up there that night. 1 fert him at the Hail of Justice about 1 o'clock. WANTED THE “DOUGH.” I then went to Mr. Augenblick, the | boy's employer, and stated exactly to him what the officer had stated to me. The reason I did this was that reputation and was willing to take him back. Mr. Augenblick accompanied me over to Mr. Gunst's place on Kearny street, where I in- terviewed him and his partner, me very nicely. I pleaded for the boy's moth- er's sake and not for the boy, and told them of their poverty, etc. 1 did not mention to Mr. Gunst or his partner any conversation had with Mr. Levings, but did repeat the entire conversation relative to the money proposi- tion had with the officer to Mr. Augenblick. He told me in responge not to make any prom- iseg; that he would come up in the evening and’ see me, and asked me what time the officer would be there. I told him. I then came home. Mr. Augenblick called first that evening. My Jap opened the door at about ten minutés before 8 (Monday). Boeth Mr. Klem- mer and Mr. Augenblick were in the dining- room when Officer Levings came—at about §:30. Defore Mr. Levings came Mr. Augen- biick said to me that I should have the officer stats the price that he wanted to “fix’ .the case, and I said, “Yes, I will do that” Mr. Klemmer was present at thé time. Then the officer came and 1 met him in the conversa- tion hall. He sat there, ana I said, ‘‘Well, what have you done”” He said, ‘I have ever thing arranged, and if you have the ‘dough’ 1 can ‘fix’ it, but if you have any one inter- fere, such as shyster lawyers, and get the boy not to plead guilty, I'll wipe my hands of as Chief Wittman would begin to get sus- picious, as the boy should have been charged Lefore this.” 1 said to him: *'What is the limit of the money required? And he said that not one nickel less than $150 would do, as he had to “fix’' the Judge. He further said: “I ‘will charge the boy in the morning, as there is no time to be lost, as things would begin to look gnspicious.’’ 1 said: *I will hear from his E’l‘"“ to-morrow (Tuesday) and will have th ney for you,” and asked him what time he would be tnere. He said he could not come in the day, but would come e to-morrow evening (Tuesday). He said: ow, leave the rest to me; don't interfere with it; you make the boy plead gulity to petty larcény and have the ‘dough’ here to-morrow, and I'll have the boy in the County Jail to-morrow by 12, serving his time.”” 1 seaid, “All right,” and he left. LEVINGS IS CONFRONTED. Mr. Klemmer overheard this conversation word for word, as I put him where he could hear it, as 1 wanted a witness. I am not sure whether Mr. Augenblick listened or mot. On Tuesday, the following day, Levings phoned me about 1 or 2 o'clock that the boy had been charged, and sald, “‘Are you ready and are ail arrangements made, because 1 Jon’t want o risk comink up there?’ I said, ‘‘Yes; if you mean businees and are sincere I'm ready for you.” He $aid he would be here in the even- ing. In the meantime Mr. Atgenblick had seen General Salomon and Mr. Douglass and sent them to see me. The young man Kiem- mer brought them up to my .house after they had interviewed the srisoner. Mr. Klemmer, 3ir. Augenbliek and the prisoner had told Mr. Douglass and General Seiomon about the prop- osition_of money made by Officer Levings to me. They came up here and had an hour's interview with me. 1 repeated to them word for word the conversation I had with Officer Levings relative to the money, and they asked me if 1 bad a witness. Mr. Kiemmeér spoke up and said, ‘‘Yes; 1 heard every word of jt— every word ‘of it.’" I said, “'He I8 to be hers to-night (Tuesday), as he calls it dough,” and it remains to be seen whether he calls for it or not.” They then told me he had charged the boy with grand larceny instead of petty larceny, as he had vromised, and I £2id that he could not be charged with petty larceny as long as the boy would not plead guilty. but that he had agreed to fix it with the Judge to reduce the charge to netty lar- pem=s ot the pext trial of the case. Gen- eral Salomen said that T must have witnesses here this night when I tender him the money, end be sgreed to have Douglass and Kiemmer press at subscriber’s expense. m—— ssaw. luch ihey left.

That Companions Shall Be Insured. Second Session of the Sub- sidiary High Court Is Held. At the second session of the Subsidiary High Court of the Ancient Order of For- esters of America, held yesterday, a dis- patch from Past High Chief Ranger S. MecMullin of Reno, Nev., congratulating ! the order on the advance it has made in the last two years, was read. . A. L. Cauvel of Walla Walla, F. W. Matteson of Stockton and H. Way of Eureka were appointed a committee to prepare a fraternal greeting to be for- warded to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fel- lows, now in session in this city. There was a prolonged discugsion of the | proposition to admit the Companions of | the Forest to the privileges of the en- | dowment feature of the order. It was -argued that the mortality among women is no greater than among men and that therefore the women were not greater risks. After a full consideration of the matter the proposition to aliow lady com- panions to participate in the fund was | carried by a vote of 142 to 8. | | “At noon the Grand Court officers and | delegates were escorted to the Mint steps, where they wers photographed in a group. | At the afternoon session the proposition | to abolish the office of permanent secre- | tary, as at present existing, and make the ?’hce elective, was discussed and it was lecided not to make a change. | . By a vote of the High Court the sum of $100 was donated to the fund for the Mar- tinique sufferers and the permanent sec- | retary, John Falconer, was instructed to send a circular letter to each court in the Pacific Court Jurisdiction requesting do- nations to that fund. In the:evening the High Court officers gave instructions in the initlatory and secret work to the delegates. To-day the officers for the ensuing term will be chosen and in the evening there will be a banquet in the A. O. F. bullding. e e e e o o e e e el | We waited a considerable length of time, when the bell rang at about §:30 or 8:45 and Officer Levings came. 1 came out to receive him. My Jap opened the door and took him in the parlor. 1 had arrangements made with Klemmer and Doug- lass that they should stand behind the door and listen to every word said. They could hear aistinctly every word sald. 1 said firsl, ““Well, what have you done, Mr. Levings?" i then Said, see you booked the boy for | &rand larceny,” and he said, “What could I do—did I not explain to you he would have to lead guilty to petty larceny?’ He said_he ad fixed and arranged everything with the Judge, but that I had nearly upset his plans and that if T weren't careful I would upset all his plans. I said I bad nothing to do with any lawyers going down to see the boy. I then sald, “Now to the point.”” I said, “T've got this Mmoney,” looking him squarely in the face, but can't you do it for $100? These peo- ple are very poor,” and he said, ‘“No’; that he had already fixed it with the Judge, Which would cost $50, and that it was worth his position or risking his position if this was found out, and that he would not give up his position for over $1500, and that Wittman had already begun to get suspicious because he had not charged the boy. Then I said, *‘Who i8 the Judge?’ and he said, “'Don't ask me any names. All you have to'do is to give me the imoney and the case will come up to-morrow and the boy will be serving his time, six | months, to-morrew at 12 o'clock.” I said, ““What guarantee have 1 if 1 glve you $150 and the boy does not get off with petty lar- ceny-and gets ten years instead?’ I then sald | 1 would go out and get the money. Before he | | could reply he stood up and got nervous and | confused and said to me, ‘“Whht have you got | In there? T sce a shadow of a head on the | and at that Douglass and Klemmer d in, and Mr. Klemmer sald to me, ,_¥ou won't give him one nickel. I am that boy's friend and am putting up the money for him and I don't propose to see you black- mailed.” It looked as though there was going to be trouble and o I stepped back and heard no more of the conversation until I heard Mr Levings say, “‘Good night, Mrs. Darling,” in a very sarcastic manner. During one of my conversations with Lev- ings he toid me he had a ‘‘pull” with the Chief and that he was the Chief's right-hand man, and told me he had originally been a | newspaper man. On Monday evening at my | house ke wrote his address on an envelope, which I herewith hand you (and which I8 | hereto attached), stating when 1 had the money to call him up at that address. I make this statement freely and volbntarily, without any promise whatsoever, and declare the same to be the truth word ‘for word just as the occurrences above mentioned took place, (Signed) E. V. DARLING. ‘Witness O. H. Heynemann, Detective T. L. Ryan. oA Salomon’s Statement. General E. 8. alomon, who was quoted by Levings as having said that he with- drew from the defense of Crothers, or McWilllams, because he thought a con- spiracy was being formed against the| patrolman, yesterday made a statment to | Detective Ryan regarding his knowledge | | of the case. Salomon said in part: | Mrs. Darling told me that a polige offlcer had | told her that he-could ‘‘square” the case for | $150 or get the defendant off with petty lar- | ceny. She said a police officer agreed to come | the next evening (Tuesday a week ago). 1 told | | her not to give him a cent, but to arrange it go | Douglass and another man could hide and wit- | ness the affair. Douglass and the young man went to Mrs. Darling’s and you know what oc- curred. I heard the officer’s testimony’ about the $150 | | and was amazed at hearing him say that he | | acted under orders of the Chief of Police, which | T knew to be an outrageous lie. Subsequently Levings said to me: ‘“There is not a word of | | trath in what they say; they are trying to job | me.”” to which 1 replied: “‘Don’t teli me any | thing ‘like that, because I know better; there's | been no job put uv on you.” This s the only | conversation I ever had with Lévings.
