Accused Asserts He Did Not Steal Thirty Thousand Dollars. | Walter N. Dimmick, accused of stealing $30,000 from the United States Mint, was the only witness on the stand vesterday in the United States District Court, and he occupled the attention of the court and jury until noon; at which hour the caurt adjourned until Monday at 10 a. m. Dimmick gave his age at 45 years and said that he was appointed by Superin- tendent Leach as cashier on August 29, 18%. The witness was formerly in sev- eral businesses — banking, commission merchant and in ‘“county” business. His term as cashier in the Mint lasted one year and two days, during the whole of | which time M. W. Day was chief clerk. | Some time in the early part of August, 18%¢, Superintendent Leach asked him how he would lfke to be chief clerk, and Dim- mick replied that he would not care to male the change; that he was unfamiliar with the duties of the office. But Leach desired Dimmick to take-the position of | chief clerk, and the witness was thus of Martinez having been appointed cash- fer. On August 31, 1399, the witness In- structed Cole how to change the combin- Mr. Leach suggested that the witness might send for a locksmith, but Dimmick | replied that it was a very simple matter| and that he could instruct Cole as well as the locksmith could. TUMBLER CLUTCH . MISSING. Dimmick at this point explained to ‘the jury ‘how the locksmith had 'instructed him when he assumed the duty of cash- fer on August 29, 1899. On that occasion the locksmith informed him -that the up- per lock’s tumbler clutch had been miss- ing for many years, and the mechanic | was” obliged ‘to take; off the back plate, and with a lead pencil “line up” the! tumblers. The vault:door could be open- | ed with either lock acting independently, | and this fact, the witness sald, he had | The whole office force was in the room, seven persons in all, while he was assist- inz Mr. Cole in changing the combination. They worked. on the lock from noon until about 3 o'clock in ‘the afternoon; ‘be- cause,” ‘added. the. witness, *“Mr. - Cole was unable to get any combination that | would work on the lock, and he tried half a dozen times, but in his carelessness or nervousness 'in’ not - making - the turas properly’ he could not work the combina- tlons.. I furpished Mr. Cole with a slip of paper‘containing a formula indicating the number of turns-to the right and to | the left, and the fixed number 6 and the fixed letter A. I then advised thim to. se- lect other numbers, such as he could .eas- ly remember, and to be known only to | himself, and I told him that it was my | custom to take a certain number—say 10— | and split it up into four numbers, so that it be should forget one of’the numbers te might be able to recover it in that | | w2y by subtracting the sum of the three | remembered numbers from the total.” The witness then des~ribed how he had instructed Cole in changing the combina- tion of the upper lock, and said that Cole was unable to work the lock by his com- | | bination. The witness was obliged to take | oft the back plate, because he knew that | | there was neither a tumbler clutch nor | | @ key to, unlock it if there had been a | clutch. Mr. Cole remained on the dial| side of the vault door, while the witness | | was on the other side and could not ses | what Mr. Cole's combination was. Mr. | Cole wrote the combination, placed it in | a sealed envelope and then in the safe, | from which it was taken and handed to | Mr. Leach when Mr. Cole was lying sick | at home. The witness did not take it out | of his pocketbook and hand it to Mr. | | | Leach, he said, as Mad been testified in the case for the prosecution, On a certain occasion in the fall of 188 the witness was absent for two days and | during his absence Mr. Day, the chief | clerk, opened the sealed envelope con- | | taining Dimmick’s combination of the | i | lower lock to open the vault, When Dim- mick returned he took off the back plate and changed the combination, it being necessary to do that on account of Mr. | Day having learned his combination, and | on another day Mr. Dimmick changed the | combination on the other lock. These | were the only occaslons on which he even‘ touched the locks. COLE AND DIMMICK CLASH. Cole and Dimmick did not get along very well together, said the witness. “We | got along very well for the first two or | three months until one day when he re- | sented my coming iIn to count his cash. He said, ‘T don't want any more inter- ference with me in counting my cash.’ I told him I had orders from the Superin- tendent to count the cash every day, and | it he had any complaint he could go to | Mr. Leach. Mr. Leach afterward asked me what the trouble was and I sald that Cole exvected me to count the cash at | 3 o'clock and that I could not always get away from my work at that time. Mr. Leach then asked if Cole was always ready at 3 o'clock and I answered that he was not. Mr. Leachthen sald, ‘Dimmick, I want u to count the cash in the usual way every day, and I want you to wait until the cashier sends word that he is ready. Cole said once that he would not take any | orders from me and I told him he would have to take his orders from the.Super- intendent. The last time I counted the cash was June 29, 1901.” The witness went on to describe the con- gested condition of the vault, as many as eight and ten trucks being in it at one time piled up with sacks of coin. It is expected that Dimmick will oc- cupy ‘the stand the whole of Monday.

Charges That Her Husband Treated Her Cruelly for Six Months, Trene Marsh, who, a short time ago at- tempted to kill Miss Ida Murray as she emerged from the Alhambra Theater be- cause she said Miss Murray had won her husband’s affections, filed a suit for di- vorce againist John W.

She also asks for per- mission to resume her malden name, Mc- Nelll. The Marshes were married in Septem- ber, 1882. In the complaint filed by Mrs. Marsh she alleges that her husband treated her in a cruel manner. between January 1 and June 1 of this year while they were residing at the Fulton House on Larkin street.

Marsh owns the Lafayette saloon in Sacramento and the Cafe Royal cigar store in this city. He also owns property at the corner of Seventeenth and K streets and Nineteenth and L streets, Sacramento. Mrs. Marsh asks that pend- ing the trial of the suit for divorce Marsh be restrained from disposing of his sa- loon and other property.

The extraordinary conduct of Police- man David Russell last Wednesday night in arresting Victor Demartini, the Itdlian interpreter, and Victor Vaccaro, proprietor of a restaurant on Montgom= ery avenue near Broadway, was told in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday when their cases came up for trial. Demartin} and Vaccaro were charged with disturb- ing the peace and after hearing the evi- dence the Judge curtly said “Cases dis- missed.” Russell put up a lame case for the pros= ecution. He could not give any satlsfac- tory explanation of why he made the ar- rests and called several witnesses who did not throw any light on the subject. Among them was Engineer Campbell of the ferryboat Amador. For the defense William Finnigan, saloon-keeper, Larkin street and Golden Gate avenue, testified that he and Vacca- ro, Demartini and Frank Leveroni were passengers ond the ferryboat Amador ‘Wednesday night and ‘'on the way across “Slinkey” King and three other race course touts and gamblers tricked Lever- oni out of $4 by means of loaded dice. Leveroni complained to him and he rec- ognized King and compelled him to re- turn the $4. When the boat reached the city King asked Policeman Russell to arrest Finnigan for assaulting him on the boat. Russell grabbed Finnigan roughly by the arm and Demartini asked Russell why he had arrested Finnigan. Russell struck Demartini on the jaw, released Finnigan and arrested Demartini who demanded that he should arrest King, who had been tricking people on the boat with loaded dice which Demartini showed him. Rus- sell marched Demartini toward the Har- bor police station Demartini all the time demanding to know why Russell had struck him. Before reaching the station Russell was approached by Vacarro, who asked him why he had arrested Demartini. Russell released Demartini and grabbed hold of Vacarro when Demartini insisted on being arrested alsq. Russell took them to the station and booked them for disturbing the peace. Finnigan's testimony was corroborated by ' Demartini, Vacearo, Leveroni and others and the Judge promptly dismissed the cases. Vacarro says that he will file charges next Wednesday against Russell before the Police Commissioners. Important’ Announcement.
