Before going, how- the man gave strict instructions that in the event any questions were asked at the house he was to state that he had received the message at the office. When the messenger reached the corner | of Fillmore and Haight streets on his bi- cycle the sender of the message and two | other men were standing at the corner. | The dark stranger again . cautioned the bO) not to té€ll where he got the note. It was delivered to Mrs. Tuttle. It read as follows, a mistake having evidently been made in naming Polk for McAl- lister street: March 4, 1908. Mrs, Tuttle: Please be at house on north- east corner of Polk and Larkin streets 1 p. m., or as near that time as possible to gob first chance. OHNSON. The messenger gave a good descrlpuon of the trio to the police. Mrs. Tuttle had made an appointment to nfeet a real estate man by the name glven and called him up on the telephone in regard to the message. He informed her that he had not sent the note and called her attention to the fact that Polk and Larkin streets ran parallel and that there could be no such corner as that | designated. Mrs. Tuttle left-the house to | B0 to his office some time afterward and as soon as she had departed the assault and attempted rogbery took place. The police are of the opinion that the crime was committed by some of the “cappers” for the cheap real estate firms, as the manner in which the robbery was planned seems to indicate that the per- | petrators were amateurs, as no pro- | fesstonal crooks would take the chance | of detection by disclosing themselves to | 50 many people, and the bungling manner | in which the attempt was made also car- | ries out that theory. Mrs. Tuttle has been’ | visiting a large number of real estate of- fices with a view toward investing in a house and there is no doubt that her statement that her husband had recently died, leaving her 36000, aroused the cupid- | ity of some of the hangers-on around the | offices and they surmised that the money was kept in the house, The detectives | are inclined to the belief that nothing was | known of the jewels possessed by Mrs. | Mathews. The mask found in the overcoat is made from a cheap blue cotton handkerchief and the revolver is of a cheap pattern. 8ix of the chambers were loaded, three with short cartridges and the others with jong ones. The weapon will no doubt play B e e, ool e @ TALKS VOLUBLY asked for a messenger_to | He was told | ams of Floriston, and From- Sight of Friends no intention of remaining away from home any great length of time. Howe was to leave for Reno, Nev., to- morrow, where he was to meet his fu- ture bride and be married on Tuesday, Mareh 10, at the home of her relatives. Thinking that his friend might have gone to his bride’s home, Wiseman telegraphed the news of Howe's disappearance to Floriston, but received the reply that the missing man was not there. | Wiseman, who lives in the same house | as the missing man, cannot account for his friend’s disappearance.

The preliminary examination of Ernest and Paul Schulz, jewelers, 106 and 300 Fourth street, on the charge of receiving stolen property, the proceeds of the nu- merous burglaries’ committed by Charles Johnson, alias *“Tommy"” Howard, was resumed before Polfce Judge Mogan yes- terday. Policeman 8. V. Bunner, who served the warrant on Ernest Schulz, detalled a long | conversation he had with the defendant, who did not know he was an officer. Schulz told him among other things that if he were to send in & written report daily to Chief Wittman of the stolen ar- ticles of jewelry he purchased it would | drive the Chief crazy. He further sald that he melted the gold and sold it to Selby’s, " where old silverware was also purchased. Mrs. O. Kingsland, 1184 Haight street, identified a watch recovered from the de- Mendants which had been stolen from her residence on February 11, and Miss Alma Harder, 81 Scott street, identified the cases of a gold watch and a ring which had been stolen from her parents’ resi- dence on February 3. The works had been taken out of the watch. Detectives Reynolds and Wren testified to having received the articles in ques- tion from Paul Schulz, who gave them up without hesitation. Both defendants bad admitted, the detectives said, that most of the stolen jewelry purchased from Johnson had been melted. Johnson was called to the stand but de- clined to testify, on the ground that it might tend to incriminate him, as he had to answer to threc charges of burglary. ‘This closed the case for the prosecution, and Attorney Samuels for the defendants asked for a continuance tiil to-morrow, which was granted. Sheriff Recovers the Plunder. Sheriff A. A.
