Shortly after midnight Policeman Bert Wren found Majetti at the corner of Stockton and Clay streets and took him to the Central police station, where his name was.entered on the detinue book and he was locked up. Majetti refused to discuss his connection with the murder. There are different stories as to the motive for the shooting. One is that Schort and Majetti quarreled about the black and tan terrier and another js | that Schort had called Majetti offersive nam 7 Myjetti is well known to the police. Sep- tember 20, 1881, he was sentenced to serve two years in the House of Correc- tion for forgery and August 8, 1894, he was sentenced to serve thirty days in the County Jail for petty larceny. From letters found in the room of the | murdered man it was learned that he was a corporal in Company L of the Ninth In- fantry and was discharged on June 8, 1902. A letter written by a friend in New York would seem to indicate that he had been married. His mother resides in Washington, D. C. At one time he went under the name of E. W. Duvall.

TOSECURE FUNDS FEAR FOR Him Michael Nolan, Bernard John Davis and Docla Nolan appeared be- | fore Police Judge Cabaniss vesterday on arraignment on the charge of robb at the residence of Mrs. Ida Tuttle, 4 Haight street, when her mother, Mrs. F V. Mathews, was brutally beaten Whitelaw with the butt end of a r ver on the afternoon of March 4. The courtroom was crowded and egll | | red upon the woman in tie case, o sat sulky and defiant at the end of a bench in front of the dock. Nolan tried several times to speak to her, but he was closely watched by Detec- es Dinan and Wren and failed in his purpose.. The impression that she will turn State's evidence has reached the with her and cajole her into keeping her mouth shut. The four defendants listened stolidly while Clerk Fenton read the complaint and all answered serlously when asked their true names with the exception of Nolan, who grinned at Fenton as mucit as to say “You know me.” raignment asked for a week's contini- ance, which was opposéd by Assistant District Attorney Hanley, as he said he was ready to proceed at once with the preliminary hearing. Campbell protesi- ed, saying he had several witnesses for the defense who were at present unknown by name or location to the defendants, and he desired to locate them. A cable car had . stopped. in front of the hou | when Mrs. Mathews came screaming of the front door and he wanted to sn' poena some of the passengers on thc { cAr in addition to milkmen and othcrs who were. driving past at the time. Lie also sald that the police had denied to the defendants the right to see any one till Wednesday afternoon and he had been unable to consult with them. He contended " that under the circumstances a week's continuance should be granted. The Judge suggested that the evidence of the prosecution could be taken earlier than a week and then a continuande could be granted for the defense. Camp- bell insisted upon a week and the Judge said the grounds for such a long con- tinuance were somewhat novel. Thera were unknown witnesses, unknown loca- tions and unknown dates for their proba- ble appearance. He agreed, however, with Campbell that owing to the serious na- ture of the charge reasonable time should be given to secure witnesses, and finally set the cages for preliminary hear- }ing ‘Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.
