SCENES OF THE CAPTURE OF CONVICT SEAVIS, HIS PLACE OF IM- AND OUTLAW FIRED UPON AT SACRAMENTO BY DETECTIVE FISHER. FAHEY, WHO WAS o SEARCH YOLO FOR TRAC JUNGLES E OF HOWARD Roberts Is Still in the Sacramento County Jail, but Refuses to Aid the Man-Hunters. ’ ACRAMENTO, Aug. 7.—Sherift S Reese and Constable Michael Judge were cngaged to-night scouring the Yolo jungles in search of convict Howard, but up to a late hour they had sent in no report. Convict Roberts is still in the County Jail, gradually recovering from the “dope” with which he was filled when Officer Continued From Page 1, Column 5. water when the first shot was fired, but he continued his flight and soon took to the bank. The officers repeatedly commanded him to halt, but he paid no heed to them, and they again fired. Only one bullet took effect. It en- tered the body to the left of the spine, about half way up the back, and came out just below the pit of the stomach on the right side. The man dropped in his tracks, but he lived about ten minutes after the officers got to him. He was apparently unconscious and did not speak. ; Deputy Sheriff Johnson hurried back fn' Davisville and notified Coroner Kitto at Woodland. Constable Hainline summoned Palmer, who brought the body to Davis- ville in a wagon. An inquest was held to- night. The officers and Palmer were the principal witnesses. A. T. Foster, a Solano County farmer, testified that the man was at his orchard Jjust before the noon hour. He asked for something to eat and got it. His action was so eccentric as to arouse the sus- picion that he might be crazy. He pre- %ended to be lame, but when he got a short distance away the lameness dis- appeared and he walked rather fast. % The verdict of the jury was that he came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by Constablé Hainline and Dep- uty Sheriff Johnson while in the dis- charge of their official duty. Body Is Not Identified. The dead man is about 35 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches in height, dark comiplex- fon, dark hair cut short, heavy eyebrows and beard “ef about ten days' growth. There is a mole on his right side, a_scar an inch long in the edge of his front bair, a_scar over the bridge of the nose between the eyes, another on his left thumb. bis features are sharp and his Tecfofenfoopnfosfmtenfofonfeonfoonfoctefenfocorfocfomferfesfnforfon brought in from Putah Creek. “He is coming back to earth” as one of the deputies expressed it, but he seems to think the very best policy he can pursue is sllence.

His clothes consisted of a pair of dark jeans, blue | striped shirt and a heavy pair of laced | pointed shogs two sizes too large for him. He carried a dark coat and a barley sack containing two old vests. The only arti- | cles found in his pockets were 24 cents in | pennies and a small piece of tobacco. A large crowd was present while the inquest was in progress, but no one claim- | ed te ever have seen the dead man be- fore, except George Sterling, a barkeeper, who said the man had been seen in Da- visville a few days ago and he appeared | to be half-witted. The general opinion here is that the dead man is.not one of the convicts. Coroner Kitto took the body to Wood- land to-night and it will be buried there to-morrow. ‘ ALAMEDA, Aug. 7.—This city was given a scare this morning by the report that a | man answering to the description of the | escaped convict Howard was seen in the vicinity of Paclfic avenue and Chestnut street. About 10:20 o'clock a dust-covered | stranger called at the saloon and grocery of J, E. Beckmann. He purchased 60 cents worth of wine and left the place, traveling toward the estuary. The bar- | keeper at Beckmann's thought after the visitor's disappearance that he resembled much the pictures of Howard he had no- ticed in the papers. He notified the po- lice station, and several officers were de- tailed to round up the stranger, but no trace of him was discovered. It is thought that he crossed the Park street bridge and went along the rodd toward Hay- wards. —_——————— Declines to Be Chief Justice. DENVER, Aug. 7.—A special to the Re- publican from Santa Fe, N. M., says that Clement- M. Smith had sent a telegram to that city from Hastings, Mich., to-day saying that he had declined to accept the appointment as Chief Justice of New Mexico, tendered him recently by Presi- dent Roosevelt. It is belleved here that he was influenced by the sentiment exist- ing in the Territory against the appoint- ment of a non-resident to the Chief Jus- ticeship. £ ———————— Firing in the War Game. BAR HARBOR, Me, Aug. 7.—Heavy firing in the direction of Mount Desert rock and continuing for fully five min- utes was heard about 10:15 o'clock to- night, and it was the general belief here that the “enemy” had been sighted by the defending fleet. negro convict, who was landed safely in the Auburn jail last night after being wounded in both legs by the shotguns of Sheriff Keena and Deputy Sheriff Lee Coan at the railroad station, was returned to his old quarters at Folsom prison this morning. Sheriff Keena, Und Mansfield of Ban Mateo County started for the prison shortly after 8 o’clock In a surrey with the negro aboard, safely handcuffed. The midnight train last night had on board District Attorney Arthur Seymour and Court Reporter Warren E. Doane of Sacramento, who had been apprised of the capture immediately after it took place. Upon their arrival in Auburn Dis- trict Attorney Seymour proceeded to the jail, where he had an interview with Seavis. Regarding the facts leading up to the prison outbreak and the comspiracy growing out of the same, very little in- formation was given out by Seymour as the result of his interview with the con- vict, it being his desire, and the desire of the officers, to get at the inside of these matters as quietly as possible and with lttle publicity at present. SORRY HE WAS NOT KILLED. Seavis talked to a representative of The Call about his various wanderings. He stated that he wished Keena and Coan had shot a little higher up and killed him. as he preferred death to being returned to the prison. In conversation with Un- der Sheriff May, Seavis said: “I'm up agaipst it; this is my last break; but I will take my medicine like 2 man.” He seems to think his fate will be the hangman's noose. In another part of the conversa- tion Seavis remarked with great disdain, referring to the first fight: “There was some poor shooting at Pilot Hill. 1 did some shooting, but did not hit any one. at a map behind a rock, but I shot too high. If the men at the prison had had any nerve there would not have been anything to it.”” The prisoner admitted, afier some ques- tioning, that he drew a rifle on the guard at the outer prison gate. He also ad- mitted that he was one of the first cons victs to enter the armory to procure weapons. He sald he yelled at the guard to drop his rifle or he would kill him. Tte guard promptly obeyed. | “Guard Klendendort tried to get | from me a couple of time: remarked the | negro, nd 1 told him if he tried it again 1 would shoot him.” Speaking of Case, who is known to have | been his close companion during his wan- derings, Seavis stoutly maintained that he had not seen Case since last Saturday night at about 10:30 o’clock, or just after the fight at the Grand Victory mine. officers belleve Seavis is lying and Case was not far off last night. | TRAVELS IN A CIRCLE. According to the prisoner’s story, he | started out Saturday night and followed | the South Fork of the American River and for two days had nothing to eat. He | then ran across a cabin fn the woods and | procured food. He claims he stayed near the river Monday night, but next day Tuesday, forded the stream and hid the brush until nightfall. in That night, to use his own words, he “hiked near forty miles.” Undoubtedly much of the time the priscaer was out of his bearings and traveled in a circle. He admitted to the Sheriff Coan and Sheriff | The-| | | | | the night from the shot in his legs. | pellets were not removed, but the Hmb 1l saw the horse fall at Pilot Hill and shot | Seavis Tells of His Wanderings After Escaping From Folsom State Prison. UBURN, Aug. 7.—Seavis, the no- | officers that he did torfous and much sought after not know where he was going. As near as the officers can learn, as Seavis did not know the names of the stations along the rallroad in this county, he must have forded the Ameri- can River about opposite Loomis or Pen- ryn Thursday afterncon. He walked either to Loomis or Penryn, and about 7:20 p. m. boarded freight No. 214, easi- bound. It is known he got off at New- castle to look around, as the trainmen saw him standing on the ground close to one of the cars. Seavis admits that he did not board the freight for the first time at Newcastle, but one or two stations west. During a conversation this morning at the jail Seavis tried to. convince the offi- cers that he threw his rifle in the Ameri- ican River while fording it. His story is not believed. It is thought the weapon will be found in the brush between the river and Newecastle. SHOWS A YELLOW STREAK. During the shooting at the Auburn de- pot Seavis showed a decidedly yellow streak. It is true he fired three times at Deputy Coan with a revolver, but when the officers filled his leg full of buckshot he squealed and cried for mercy. The crowd that gathered just after the fusil- lade was quiet and orderly, but naturally filled with a great desire to see the noto- rious convict. Seavis suffered considerable pain during The were dressed by the physicians. This morning he made no particular complaint of suffering whén he started off for the penitentiary. It was reported to the officers shortly after the negro was taken that two smail boys had seen a man hanging around a | pile of railroad ties not far from the spot where the shooting took place and that he scon afterward disappeared. It is possible it was Case, the sick conviet, who has been the close partner of Seavis all along. As the Reno local passenger passed through Auburn at 1 o'clock this morning Dr. J. F. White and Art Smith | noticed a man riding under the trucks. It is belfeved that he was one of the con- viets.
