He stated that Alexan- der was made a member of the force on| Apiil 10, 1897, and was still a member. WITTMAN ON THE STAND. Chief of Police Wittman was the next witness. He told the story of thé scheme | to entrap Alexander and of its successful | termination. He said that on the oven-| Captain of Detectives Martin, watched | the Poodle Dog Restaurgnt. He said he | saw Alexander meet the Wilson weman and afterward he sent Martin downstairs | to bring the officer into his presence. The | policeman was directed to place all the money he had on his person on tha tahla and having done so was charged with| taking money from the woman. Alexan- der admitted that he had received money, but said it was presented to him for a| cigar. The Chief stated that the money | was marked and the coin was introduced in evidence. He said he had suspended Alexander from duty pending the action | of the Police Commissioners. Wittman further stated that Alexander was ac- cused by him of taking money from the unfortunate women who exist in the ten- derloin quarter of this cit “How did you make the acquaintance of this woman?”’ asked Foote. “I was introduced to her by a young man,” replied the Chief. “What is his name?’ “T decline to answer your questfon.” Mr. Foote appealed to the court, but Judge Conlan declined to compel the wit- ness to answer. Attorney Foote was persistent in his de- sire to have the name of the informant, but without avail. He said it put the de- fendant in the light of being persecuted in not knowing who his persecutors were. know the name of the young man in or-| der to learn whether they are making a scapegoat of Alexander. I want to know what means the Chief of Police takes in detecting crime. If citizens of the city and county are not to know what means | are being taken we might as well give ! up this method of obtaining justice. If | a man is not entitled to be confronted | by his accuser these forms are merely idle. INFORMANT IS REPUTABLE. “Den’t answer this question unless you want to,” said Foote. ““Was the young an engaged in a reputable or disreput- le business?” | “It was a reputable business,” said the Chiefs . “How did you come to employ him?"” “I had information that this young man able to get the facts for me. I had no other idea in the matter. I was after police officers from captains down.” “Is it not a fact that this anxiety on your part to cxpose the men who were obtaining money was due to the fact that the neWwspapers were giving you little ‘roasts’ 2 “I ‘was not being ‘roasted’ at that ti “Were you ngt roasted and charged with being in this sort of business years ago?” “Such statements were made in the Examirer, but I never pay any attention to such twaddle. I have seen it burn you up, Mr. Foote, and you seem to have grown fat over it."” The Chief's reply created merriment in the courtroom, but Foote returned to the ray with even greater persistence. He ept calling Wittman “captain,” and this Ik title did not meet with the Chief's ap- proval. Was it not done in order to divert the Examiner and other papers from making personal attacks on you and the officers under your immediate control?” asked Foote. “No, sir. If I am doing my duty and the officers under me are not doing their duty it does not bother me,” replied Witt- man. ALEXANDER MEETS WOMAN. The witness then went on to narrate Low he saw Alexander meet the Wilson woman. He admitted that he could not hear their conversation nor did he know what they did, because they were in the dark. - He said they were together about a minute and a half, “Have you undertaken since this affair to learn whether other women have paid money to officers?” interrogated Foote. “I have.” “Did you get this evidence?” “I decline to answer."” “'If the Commissioners instructed you to fle charges against any. other officer on the word of these women, would you do so?"" I would, or quit the business.” Chief Wittman was allowed to leave the stapd. Cavtain John Martin was called and ‘corroborated the Chief in every par- ticular.

Vice President Ward decided yesterday morning not to return East with the Mackay party, and will remain in this city for ssveral days in order to be in in- stant communication with the en AR below the horizon the big ship Silvertown is ming, her nose pointed for the sundown down sea, the cable that reels out be- hind lashing through the sunless depths and finding rest in caverns und turbed for countless centuries. Though on the trackless sea the great wire she is guiding through the deep throbs with life and, speaking, tells the shore jthat with her ail is well. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the sounder out in the little station by the ocean beach clicked off the news that the Silvertown was standing on her way and from her tanks seven ven nautical miles of cable had uncoiled. The méssage sender prosaically announced that the ship was heading southwesterly and that everything was working to the satisfac- tion of the engineers. Then news that rain was falling, but as to the temper of the sea there was no word. Before the Silvertown started on her his. toric voyage, ‘arrangements completed between the cable company offieials and United States Weather Fore- caster McAdie by which the Wéather Bureau was (o be kept fully infornmied as to the conditions of the weather on the various stages of the trip. Assistant District Attorney Weller called Lulu Wilson and there was a craning of necks when the woman ascend- ed the stand. “I wish to make a statement,” she stated, but no one paid any attention tc She testified as follows: WILSON WOMAN TESTIFIES. My name is Mamie Lin and I reside at 118 Eddy street. 1 know the defendant, Mr. Alex- ander. 1 also know Chief Wittman and Cap- tain Martin. I met Alexander five or six weeks ago. I was then residing at the Golden State, corner Eddy and Mason streets. ‘hen 1 was living at the Golden State I met Alexander. I was walking down Mason street and he stopped me. He said he would like to speak to me and we stepped aside. He asked me what I was doing and I sald nothing. He asked me what I was doing in the Olympla and I answered the same as others—watching the performance. He said he had noticed me taking men out of the Olympia. He hinted that he could do me harm. He advised me to pay him money. The next time he met me he asked me if I had Jeft it, meaning the money. I have paid him $250 on several occasions. I left the money at the “‘Queen’ saloon for him. 1 also gave it to Mrs. Powell, the landlady of the lodging-house to give to him. Alexander and I had a few words and I told him I had consulted a lawyer and would give him no He said he could make it hot for me. He sald he had lots of dealings with women of my kind. I paid him this money because' I was afraid he would arrest me. Yes, 1 gave him the money Chief Wittman gave me. I met him on Mason street and sig- naled him to come to me. I slipped the money in his hand. It was $250. I paid him the money for protection. I suppose it was for protection. Under cross-examination the witness declined to give her attorney’s name. She | said she could bring him to court, and Foote sarcastically said he would do so if he knew the lawyer’s name. The witness stated she was strongly op- posed to taking the witness-stand because Alexander had children. All she wanted was to have Alexander punished. “I was paid for the evening I lost at the Olympia by the Chief. He gave me $20,” volunteered the witness. “Did you notice whether the coin was marked on you?” asked Foote. “No, sir, answered the witness with a T 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon the cable-ship Silvertown announced to the land’s end station out Everything, came the message, was working to the satisfaction of the engineers.

Tupper, inspector of water and Public Works that some precaution taken to prevent proprietors of cheap lodging-houses from endangering the lives of their guests by carelessness in the handling of gas fixtures. The recom- mendation was the result of an investiga- tion started by Mayor Schmitz to ascer- tain the cause of the asphyxiation of so many people in lodging-houses. It is as follows: To the Honorable, the Board of Public Works of the City and County of Ban Fran- cisco—@entlemen: Referring to the death by gas asphyxiation of an unknown man in the lodging-house at 715 Howard street on Thurs- day night, December 11, I would state that I have made a careful Inspection of the prem- ises. I find that the man went to the lodg- ing-house about 10 o'clock Thursday night and asked for a room, which was given him, and nothing further is known until he was found dead in bed at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon with the gascock turned on. The gascock In the room is in good order and does not turn any easler than it should and there Was Do water in the meter. I found, however, that there is a stopcock In the service pipe leading from the gas | meter in_the basement to the lodging-houss above.

Parks, who was arres Bakersfield Friday night by the pol of that city upon telegraphic instructions from Captain Martin for the abduction of fifteen-year-old Tessie Norton, was brought back last evening by Detective Coleman. The officer, his prisoner and the child were met at the ferry by the father and it was thought that bloodshed would re- sult from the meeting, but nothing more serious occurred than Parks receiving a blow in the face from the infuriated and grief-stricken parent. It is not known whether - Norton was armed and the prompt intervention of Detective Cole- man perhaps prevented a tragedy. Parks was hurried to the Hall of Jus- tice and was there booked upon a charge of child stealing as alleged in the war- rant which had been issued several days ago. He took his arrest and Incarcer with apparent indifference and did p seem to realize the enormity of the of- fense with which he is charged. “I wish to state emphatically,” said Parks, “before I answer any questlons, that Tessie Norton s as pure now as she was before our departure, notwithstand- ing statements to the contrary, and she will corroborate what I say in that re- gard. 1 do not know what prompted me to do what I did and the only excuse I have fo offer is the fact that I was under the. influence of liguor for more than ten days previous to my leaving the city. In fact, the day I left I did not kmow what 1 was doing owing to my intoxicated con- dition. “One day when Tessie came into the shop I said that it was my intention to go East, and she said “Take me along with you.! I said ‘All right,’ and after I had sold out I made arrangements to carry out my promise. Yes, I had her hair cut and provided her with a suit of boy's clothes, but I do not know what prompted me to do that. I made absolutely no at- tempt to betray the girl and treated her as if she was my own child. She will tell what good care I took of her.” Parks was visited later in the evening by Attorney Archie Campbell, and after consulting with him refused to see any other callers, with the exception of his wife.

I have often heard that it was the custom in some of the cheap lodging-houses to turn the gas off at certain hours, but 1 have never seen a stopcock so conveniently arranged as in this case and such a thing should be pro- hibited.
