Three firemen from engine house No. 3 captured an alleged purse snatcher on California street last evening and brought him to the City Prison, where he was turned over to Detectives Dinan and Wren. He gave the name of Albert White and he was placed in the tanks until evi- dence against him can be secured. The firemen, William Burns, Ed McGon- | igle and Sam Powell by name, were standing in front of the fire house when ; She was g at the junction of Hyde and | ia streets and a middle sized man | was dashing down the street in an evident | aftempt to e: They at once jumped to the conclus had been committed. They gave ¢ and after a sprint of several blocks overtook the fiee- ing man. He denied the charge of snatch- ing the purse, but the woman positively identified him. The firemen neglected to | get her name or address and this duty | will devolve upon the police. On the prisoner when he was searched at the City Prison were found two purses, | one.of which contained $7 in gold. There | have been seven complaints of purse snatching from this vicinity in the past three weeks and it is supposed that the same man committed all the crimes.

Chinese Consul General Ho Yow has caused to be posted up in Chinatown huge copies of a proclamation warning the Chi- nese residents against further bad be- havior and threatening dire vengeance if the admonition is not heeded. The proclamation calls attention to the recent attempt at robbery and murder on Dupont and Clay streets and instances all of the violent crimes in the Chinese quar- ter for several months past and declares that such things must not continue. Al- most certain punishment, it says, is bound to follow the commission of crime in this country, and if that does not have a deterrent effect then the good old Chi- nese custom of vicarious punishment is promised on the malefactors’ relatives 1 the old countrv. It is the desire of the Emperor, says the proclamation, that his subjects shall live in their adopted country in conformity with its laws, and he proposes to see that they do it or he will know the reason why. All_this is set forth in huge letters in its Chinese equivalents and groups of slant-eyed Celestials gatheped before the posters and discussed the proclamation, Peaceable Chinamen look for a cessation of disorder among their countrymen, as a threat of vengeance on relatives in China is a potent argument with the race.

R R R S T SR THIES TO KILL - HI3 CELLMATE Wong Ah See Attempts to Murder Fellow Prisoner. Wong Ah See, a Chinese conviet from San Quentin, held in the county jail for deportation to China, attempted to mur- der his cellmate, Chew Lang On, about 3 o’clock yesterday morning. The victim has been convicted of murder and was sentenced to be hanged to-day, but his case has been appealed to the Supreme Court and he was granted a stay of exe- cution. Apparently the two prisoners were get- ting along amicably, and ate out of ihe same rice bowl without a shaflow of un- friendliness. For the last three days, however, according to Chew Lang On’'s story, the convict has been making threats. He told his cellmate he was go- ing to kill him at the first opportunity, but the victim regarded the threat.as a merry jest and went about his narrow quarters in fancied security. The attack was made when Chew was slumbering. The assallant secured the heavy wooden cover of the toilet, and creeping in the dark to his victim’s side, rained blow after blow on the prostrate heathen. Chew covered himself with the bedding and shouted shrilly in his terror for succor. Turnkey dJerry McCarthy, who has charge of that tier of cells, ar- rived in the cell almost instantly, and succeeded in diverting the maddened he: then’s attention until the arrival of Turn- key Jerry Moore, when the Chinaman was subdued, after a fierce struggle, and led away to the dark cell. Chew Lang On received a gash extend- ing clear across the top of his head and his cheek was split. He also received severe cuts on the right leg and arm, besides numerous abrasions of other parts of his body. A physician sewed up the wounds and last night the victim was sufficiently recovered to tell his story out of the corner of his mouth. Both the Chinese are highbinders. Chew Lang On pleaded gullty to murdering a Chinaman in this city on July 30 last and was sentenced to be hanged. Wong Ah See served a six years' sentence in San Quentin for complicity in a highbinder murder. He clalms the attack on his cellmate was due to nightmare, Their Bicycles Stolen. \ "E. O. Plerce, 515 Sixteenth street, Oak- land, reported to the police yesterday that his bicycle had been stolen from the en- trance to the Public Library Wednesday afternoon. Thomas Saling, 22 Clayton street, also reported that his bicycle had been stolen from the basement of his house Wednesday evening. ———— St. Dominic’s Picnie.

McGlynn, paying teller of the Hi- bernia Bank, had an opportunity yester- day of telling his version of the fight in Moraghan’s oyster parlors in the Call- fornia market on the night of May 21, his part in which led to his arrest on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon preferred by John Buhmann, cashier of the eating place. McGlynn's story was told to Police Judge Fritz, before whom his preliminary examination was begun yesterday. The bank teller’s story is that he and a friend went to Moraghan's to eat; that after he paid the check there was 40 cents change coming to him, which the cashier refused to give him; that he said he would take the 40 cents due him from the cash register and that thereupon the fight commenced, McGlynn and his friend be- [ ing mixed up in a battle with five em- ployes of the restaurant, the trouble only Cceasing when McGlynn had been brutally clubbed into insensibility by Special Of- ficer G. H. Porter. Attorney Stephen Costello specially prosecuted and the defendant was repre- sented by Attorney Stafford. Joseph Tobin was an interested spectator of the proceedings. The witnesses for the prosecution were John Buhmann, the complaining witness; B. White, cook; Joseph Leon, waiter; G. H. Rorter, special officer; Policemen E. F. Leofard and A. A. Hicks, Ed Kempke and Louis Fontanel. The first four tes- tified that McGlynn striuck Buhmann with a bottle and tried to get at the cash regis- ter. They said he was under the influence ofs iquor, but Leonard and Hicks said that, though he had been drinking, he was not drunk. When they arrived on the scene his head, face and clothing were covered with blood from wounds on his heads. “After my friend and myself had eaten a_plate of oysters each,” testified Mc- Glynn, “I took the check, which called for 60 cents, and laid it on the counter with $1. After waiting for some moments for my change, I said to Buhmann, ‘What about my 40 cents? He insultingly re- plied that he had given me the change, called me a liar and said, ‘You can’t rob me.’ I said, ‘If you don’t give it to me T'll take it from the register. Then Buh- mann struck me on the face, dazing me. Before I could do anything a waliter and a dishwasher or cook came running up and attacked me. The cook struck me twice on the head with a poker, and as I was afraid for my life, I seized a caper sauce bottle to defend myself. Before I could use it I was struck with a club from behind and fell to the floor uncon- scious. I bled very profusely and on com- ing to asked Officer Hicks to send for a physician, but was sent to the Emer- gency Hospital. No one showed a star before I was struck. I was not under the influence of liquor and did not use vulgar language.” More witnesses for the defense will be | sion. J. B, Mclntyre is chairman of the general committee in charge of the affair. exumined next Thursday, to which datel the case has been continued.
