Field and Attorney Gavin Mec- b, representing the Bank of Monte- rey; Attorney Max Blum, representing M. Blum & Co., and L. R. Cofer, repre- . proceeded up to Crockett general survey of the contents of the ppinger warehouse there. Detective Tom Gibson was on hand to show them the modus operandl of receiving and shipping grain. The party examined with great interest the scales, which were loaded with the “false welght” attached by means éf shoemaker's wax. A practical demonstra- tion showed that it was an inside esti mate that during the busy grain season scales would net a profit of about $600 1y to the warehouse company. In other words the scales would credit up to the warehouse sixteen pounds of wheat on each truck load of five sacks. Next the visitors had their attention called to the “wharf contrivance,” where- | by when loading ships one sack of wheat | of a bunch of five was quietly slipped out of the chute and never struck the ship at all, which sack would again re- vert to the credit of the warehouse and the managers. Mr. Field, on a previous visit to Crock- had noticed the 1100 sacks of grain ly- his last visit they had disappeared, and no one could give him any information | as to where they had been taken. The general result of the inspection | only emphasized the impreséion of the | amazing methods practiced by the Ep- | pingers and those in tielr employ. e Police Seeking Handsome Girl. @ hief of Police Wittman is in receipt of a communication from the department at | Springfield, Tll, inquiring for the where- | abouts of one Jennte Manning, who left that city several years ago and has not been heard of since.

YOUTHS SEARCH FOR TREASURE Home of Sister-in-Law of Howard Gould Is Looted by Boys. While Miss Clemens Attends Her School, Lads Ran- sack House. o R T The home of Miss Ella May Philomena Clemens, sister of Mrs. |of New York, was entered by four boy burglars yesterday afternoon. The youth- ful criminals left after scattering images 10: worship about the floor, tearing plc- tures from the wall and ransacking every {nook and corner of the rooms, but took 0 loot. One of them, who gave the rested by a citizen; another, Thomas Forbes, a messenger for the Postal Tele- graph Company, was taken later by Po- | liceman James J. Shane. Albert Hamil- ton and Frank Harris, who complete the quartet, are still at large. Miss Clemens resides in the rear of 668 Pine street. Her life has been devoted to religion, as she conducts St, Ann's Roman Catholic school at 920 Clay street. She was occupied yesterday afternoon with her Chinese pupils when the young bur- glars came. They climbed over a fence which protects the place and entered | through a front window of the house. Mrs. Miller, who lives at 680 Pine street, | witnessed the act and started in search | of Policeman McShane, at the same time alarming several of the neighbors. After a time the boys left the place.

I mear FRANCISCO CALL, LYNCH 15 SCORED BY SHORTRIDGE Legal Argument Made a Cover for Severe Denunciation. — — Dillard Trial s Enlivened by Verbal Assault on Officials. PRRELE The argument in the Dillard trial yes- | terday was remarkable for a severe ver- ! ! bal onslaught on the part of Samuel ! ! M. ShortriGgge, who made United States | Internal Revenue Collector Lynch his | The lawyer did not devote the | greater part of the time consumed by him | in sifting the evidence and marshaling | the facts to prove that his client, who is ! accused of forging the name of Collector | Lynch, was innocent, but he made a general attack upon the prosecution | and its witnesses, denouncing them as | conspirators and perjurers. He rebuked ! the United States District Attorney be- ! cause that official had not assistedNn the defense of the clever negro clerk of the revenue office, and he declared that Col- lector Lynch was a man of no character for bravery or honesty. In fact, he in- { sinuated, to put it mildly, that Mr. Lynch | had lied while on the stand. Attorney T. C. West opened the argu- “ment for the defense at 8 o'clock and | occupied the attention of the court until | 10:30, when Mr. Shortridge took the floor, | and, barring a recess for lunch and al | rest for his talking hand, spoke until after | |4 o'clock. At this juncture Judge de | | Haven inquired as to how much more | | time Mr. Shortridge desired to finish his | | argument, and being informed that he re- quired half an hour more, the Judge ad- journed court until 10 o'clock this morn- ing. K ccording to the testimony, said Short- ridge, Lynch seems to have abdicated his | office. All that he did was to sign his name like an automaton to some papers | | regardless of what they were. “He tells us that he swore to the truth of a certain paper, not knowing what it | was. Dillard had very many duties to | perform and he performed them. Had | the Collector of Internal Revenue any | duties to perform? Are we to say that Lyrich had no duty to perform at all, or that he shirked, neglected and overlooked | it? $hould Dillard be held responsible for | a mistake, an oversight in the rush of | business, and at the same time should we | | say that Lynch is excusable for his mis- | takes committed in the rush of business?” | CRITICIZES LYNCH'S COURAGE. | The speaker, in commenting upon the testimony in Teference to a letter dated | April 22, 1902, which Dillard sent to Chin- ese Inspector Charles Mehan at El Paso, | Texas, sald: It Lynch had more courage or more charac- ter he would come manfully into court and | say, “'I dia dictate that letter, and I find that 1 was mistaken.’” If he had been man | enough, big enough mentally, just emough in | character and fearless enough, he would bave come into court and said, ‘I made a mistake.” It is & test of character for a man to step up and say, “‘Yes, | did wrong, and I apolo- | sine.” When you take character out of a | man he becomes a piece of walking flesh Mhats mil. "It he had been content to be a big | man, 1f he had been of the breed of big men, he would have said, ‘I made a mistake here; | this letter i " It he had been brave | i.nd truthful and manly he would have said, “I made this mistake, and he, didn't do it.’ | 1 was shocked to hear him deny the genuine. Dess of his_signature to that letter. It was horrifying, it was terrible. It was an exhi- | | bition which stamps his whole testimony as unworthy of belief. The prosecution were next berated as “a lot of cheap politicians who had gone | into the dark chambers of a Grand Jury | and induced the jurors to prefer charges against Dillard.” Incidentally, the Grand Jury was referred to as a relic of the dark ages. After the noon recess the speaker gave his attention to commenting upon the heavy work that the Government had thrust on Lynch. He said in part: LYNCH WEIGHTED WITH WORK. Lynch had been, according to his own stat ments, a_terribly overworked man, and his great multiplicity of duties had kept his time #o0 engrossed that he was obliged to let any one around his office do his work, even intrusting some of the most important work of the office to his porter. And now he comes and tries to throw himselt on the mercy of the, court. There was no rule of law that could 'excuse him for not attending to his duty. Now, when 1 come to these sleuth hounds, or, 1 will say, | mple sleuths—these men who work as the lifes do, who toil like the butterflies, this noble, gallant band of men all banded !oxelherl against this poor colored man, W. H. lard, to try and fasten the guilt on Star will’ say that they would have been glad |( Dillard had never come back, and it would | bave been a great relief to them if he had remained away. Now, 1 want to say & word about this inac- cessible room to which only Dillard and the deputy were supposed to have keys—this pri- vate gecret chamber. Why, the room was | open to_everybody. It was used as a lunch Toom. It was used as a resort to gain inspl. | ration_from a black bottle. One gallant soul ' | from Los Angeles had even used the room to | | change his linen In, and it was here in this | sacred room, this holy of holies, that this | busy, overworked Collector sought refuge from | the burdens of dally life in his office, and | here found time to devote to the discussion of political literature. The Witnesses for the Government swore that Dillard and he alone had access to this room. It was not so. WHERE ARE THE PAPERS? And now about these missing papers! Where are these missing papers? The witnesses | swell up their official bosoms and can give no_account of where they are. Now regarding the testimony of Lynch re- garding the genuineness of the signatures in question. Lynch himself swore that he de- | bated over nine months without coming to a conclusion, but this = expert isenschimmel, | who jess sense than the horse which his | name signifies, jumps in and says with audac- | ity that they are forgerfes. For a mess of pottage he would swear a man’s liberty away. He states the forgeries could be discerned miles away, and that they loom upilike the electric light tower at San Jose. 1 would not convict my enemy's dog upon such testi- | mony. Some experts are inclined to give tes- timony upon the side that pays them. —_— — King Menelik and the Missionary. A Swedish missionary who was endeav- oring to gain a foothold in Abyssinia was brought before King Menelik, who asked him why he had left his home in Scand!- navia in order to come to Abyseinia. Tha wissionary replied that he had come to convert the Abyssianian Jews. “Are thara no Jews in your country?” asked ‘Mencl{iz. The missionary admitted that there were a few. “And in all the countries thar you have passed through did you find no Jews or heathens?’ the King continued. Jews and heathens, the mlsulnnlry ad- | mitted, were plentiful. “Then,” said | Menelik to his guards, “carry this man beyond the frontier and let him not re- turn until he has converted all the fews and heathens which lie between his coun- try and mine.”—Exchange. A “New-Rich” Ebullition. A woman of the ‘‘new rich” type set up a pretentious establishment in New York with the view of gaining an entrance into soclety. Among her cholce possessions was a Russian tea urn wrought In em- bossed brass. The term for tifls device is “samovar,” and the woman treated her urn like a new toy. She gave a reception in order to exploit her tea service and her , guests were in continual subdued fits of laughter because their hostess said; “I do so love tea out of a reservoir. This reservoir came from Russla. Of course, it is really a tea urn, but I prefer the national term, don’t you?’—New York Press. 2 ——— Despite all efforts to capture it, a l(axi- can horse, which escaped Lhree weeks ago from the remount depot at Cplchester, is still running wild in the fields and woods Messing, Essex. i | his gallantry MRS.
