SRR e They seid that they had been obliged to take Gemble into the scheme and allow | him to become a sharer in the proceeds | for two reasons; first, because it was dit- ficult to obtain substitutes in all cases who looked sufficientiy like the genuine to pass for them even on a superficial ex- amination, and second, because Gamble became suspicious on one occasion and re- marked to Dasha, “Don’t try to do that again.” " The prisoners were taken yesterday afternoon to the office of the United States secret service in the Appraisers’ building and were transferred to the City Prison last evening after the newspaper men had become acquainted with (hc' facts. Bail was set at §2000 each and it | was stated thet the men would furnish | bonds on Monday morning. MARSHAL SHINE'S STATEMENT. United States Marshal Shine made the following statement last evening; After Sheriff Lackmenn and our party had | arrested the men we took them to a private | place and then one by one into a room in or- | der to get statements from them. It took a | long while to do this, but one by one they broke down -and gave us the whole story. They told us in_detail how the substitutions e. A Chinaman would come to the in the night on their shift with the sub- tutes, and the real prisoners would be al- 9 Bu loned to go ou: of the door. ett was | captain of the shift and his piace was at the front door; Dasha was in the upper corridor, and Dempsey was his assoclate. Two hundred dollars for each Chinese thus allowed to es- cape was the fixed price, of which Gamble re- cefved one-third and the three jallers the re- mainder. mble was not in the combination originally. They made it a point to get sub- stitutes resembling the Chinese®in the jall so that there would be less chance of any accl- dental detection When asked as to the status of Hack- man Tom Martin, who drove Gamble and | his substitutes in his hack from the Ap- | praisers’ building to the Mail dock, Mr. Shine declared very edrnestly that Mar- tin was ‘“as straight as a string,”” that amble had sald the same thing, that the Federal authorities believed him to be thoroughly honest and altogether blameless in the matter and that Dasha, Burnett and Dempsey had exonerated the old hackman from any suspicion of having been connected with them. SUBSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE. Mr. Shine proceeded to explain further that on only two occaslons were substi- | tutfons made outside the jail; one being | some months ago, when two men were substituted by Gamble between: the jail | and the steamer, and on Friday, the lith {of the present month, when six Chinese | were substituted at the . Appraisers’ buflding. On this point, he sald, Gam- ble's confession was that he took the six original Chinese prisoners from the jail and allowed them to escape on Broadway, near Sansome. Then he proceeded alone to the Appraisers’ building, where he found the six stitutes in walting. These he pla the prisoners’ room of the Ma »fiice and afterward took them downstairs and placed them in.Mr. Martin's hack. ‘The reason for making the substitution outside of the jail was that Jailer Burnett was absent on the previous evening and an outside Deputy Sheriff was d ailed to take his place. | Dasha and Dempsey therefore did not care to risk making the substitution un- the circumstances. JAILER DASHA CALLED. | r. Shine immediately after the six sub- | bad been taken ashore from the er Gaelic sent for Jailer Dasha to look at the six men and say whether they | were the same that he had turned over to | Gamble at the jail. Dasha replied that ; were not. Mr. Shine then asked him re Tom Martin’s hack stood when the prisoners were put into it at the jail, and Dasha replied that it stood opposite the teps. After Gamble had made his confession the effect that the hack had not been o il the Marshal stepped into office 2 directed Deputy Marshal to call Dasha up by telephone and n to repeat what he had already | | that subject. Mr. Farish did so, | { and Dasha repeated his previous answer i | | that the hack stood in front of the jail. | Then Farish asked him over the tele- phone if he had seen the Chinese being | put into the hack by Deputy Marshal « | Gamble, and he replied In the afirma- tive ! . you sure Pete putting * asked F 9 ,"" replied Dasha. ting to Gamble's confession, Mr. said that his deputy had confessed Shine | to him in private last Monday, but not so | freely or with so much of detail as he did ADVERTISEMENTS.

Stokes Con- victed in the Court at Ukiah. e, Rancher of Mendocino Must Go to Penitentiary for Life. LRSS Speciel Dispatch to The Call. UKIAH, Sept. 19.—James R. Stokes was found guilty of murder in the Superfor Court here this afternoon and his punish- ment was fixed by the jury at life im- prisonment. This was the second trial of the case, the jury in the former trlal in Juffe having disagreed. The evidence was wholly circumstantial. James R. Stokes and his brother, Rob- ert Stokes, lived néar cach othier on®a mountain side, a few miles from the town of Booneville, in this county. Their wives were sisters. In the early morning of March 23, 1903, James R. Stokes went to the house of a neighbor and reported that his brother Robert and wife had been murdered, or had committed sui- cide, in their own house. He asked that the Coroner be sent for and the neighbor- hood aroused When the neighbors assembled at the house of Robert Stokes they found his dead body lyving in the doorway of the kitchen, the feet extending out upon the steps and a shotgun lying at his feet with a cotton string tied to the trigger. He had been shot in the mouth, the bullets passing through the brain. On the bed in the main bedroom lay the body of his wife, Sarah Stokes, in her night robe. She had also been shot in the upper part of the face and had died instantly. Informations were filed charging James R. Stokes with having murdered both. District Attorney, Robert Duncan, assisted by Attorney J. C. Ruddock, elect- ed to try the case of Sarah Stokes first, and this second trial began last Wednes- day. The defense was conducted by John L. McNab. The theory’ of the defense was that Robert Stokes first killed his wife and then himself. The shotgun found at the feet of the dead man belonged to James R. Stokes. The defendant admitted on the stand that he had formerly had trou- ble with his brother Robert and they had even fought, but that was months before the tragedy. The case against the same defendant for the murder of Robert Stokes has not yet been set for trial. The Jjury in the case to-day was out only half anhour. e e FUGITIVE MURDERER CAUGHT AT VANCOUVER Russell Bolles Is Arrested for Crime Committed at Denver New Year’s Eve, 1801. , Sept. 10.—As soon as the neces- sary papers can be seeured from Washington, officers will be sent to Vancouver, B. C., to bring Russell:-Bolles; who has been arrested there, to Denver to stand trial for the murder Harold Fridborn. Tbe murder was com- mitted on New Year's eve, 1801, when Frid- born, who was 14 years old, and his sister, two years Older, went to a pond in North Den- ver to skate, They were met by a man who killed the boy with a blow on the head with d assaulted the girl, Bolles, who is a fan, fell under suspicion, and he was located after a long search by James H. Willls, ‘Town Marshal of Sullivan, Ind., where Bolles formerly lived it R TR Conductors Forge Pay Checks. BOSTON, Sept, 19.—Five conductors of the Boston and Northern Street Rallway were ar- rested to-day for counterfeiting pay checks on the Boston Raliroad. Two printers also were taken into custody and the police say more arre ill follow. It is expected that the two companies have lost $100,000, the counterfeiting airealy having been traced back as far as last ovember, @ il later . o presence of witnesses. Then the requested United States Se- cret Service Agent Willilam J. Burns to step/into his office and Usten while Gam- ble repeated his confession. GAMBLE WAS RELUCTANT. “It was hard to get Gamble to confess, but Burns assisted me, and he proved to be a shrewd cross-examiner,” added the Marshal. He proceeded to relate that on the con- fession made last Monday Gamble con- nected only Hom Toon and Wong Tin with himself in the transaction. On Tuesday Marshal Shine had another con- ference with Gamble, and after a session of an hour and a half succeeded in get- ting the truth out of him with regard to his white confederates. The Marshal sald: I said to_him: “I have been your friend since your boyhood, and I think You owe it to yourself, 1o your family. and certainly ‘to me o tell me the whole truth about this mat- Nt ter. If 1 have to lose every man in my of- fice I want to know the truth.”” I was confl- dent that Pete Gamble never went in there and put up that job himself. I was positive of that. 1 had known him a long while and it was the first lle that he had ever told me when he said at the start that he was inno- cent. aid to him, “You know I have been yqur friend, and if you are going to let Dasha and Burnetf get the best of you you'd better quit right here. This is your last chance to talk. T want not only the truth but the whols truth.”” Then he told me all about Dasha and Burnett and- Dempsey and how the sub- etitutions were made at night in the County Jeil. Then I called in-Burns, Woodsworth arish_ and in the presence of these wit- he repeated what he had sald. ¢ SHINE DEMANDS THE TRUTH. On Monday, the first day I had Gamble go cver the whole story from the time he left the jall til he placed the men on board th: ship. As soon as he went over' the story I knew that it was an untruth. 1 said: “You are telling 'me an untruth; I want your star and vour gun. Pete, I want you to tell me evervthirg about it.”” Then he told me about those two Chinamen, and then I asked him about_the jailers. That was the first time that Gamble mentioned the jailers, and the Marshal sald that the confessions of Dasha, Bur- nett and Dempsey corroborated that of Gambie. After the jailers had been ar- rested Dasha was examined first, JBurnett second and Dempsey last.” They admitted that they started in the business of sub- stitution shortly before last Christmas, and*took Gamble in later on. ¢ According to the statement of the Fed- cral officials the three jallers and Gam- ble were the only white persons engaged in the business. ““We were assisted in every way by the police officials and the Sheriff,” added the Marshal. The prisoners said that they had not made more than twenty substitutions in all, and that the largest sum of money recelved for a single transactlon was $1000 for five substitutes. Dasha and Bur- nett were interested in the last transac- tion, that was discovered, but none of the conspirators received any money for the job on account of its failure. —_——————— ), ¢ N. . 19.—Liewellyn Smith, who has been loyed for seven years trusted cashier and bookkeeper for the firm - merchant; hers, stock s and the of- A shortage BUFFALO. 3 sa s have been {emporarily closed. 1in his accounts will reach $20,000.

Where he spent the day is not known. He did not appear at the office of the United States Marshal. nor have any of his friends come forward who met him during the day. Some time late Friday night he mailed a letter to his wife. The contents of this letter are a matter of discussion. One portion of it was writ- ten on a leaf torn from a notebook and contained the following directions: ‘“Get off the Haight-street cars at Haight and Baker streets. 1 will go up those stairs and be somewhere in the trees. PETE.” FAREWELL LETTER. It is asserted that one member of the family admitted yesterday morning that in addition to these directions the envelope contained a farewell letter from Gamble to his wife, the contents ‘of which he urged her not to divulge. Later in the day the members of the family denied the authenticlty of the reported statement and asserted that beyond the note turned [ over to the Coroner the envelope mailed by Gamble contained nothing. The letter was delivered shortly before 9 o'clock yesterday morning and Mrs. Gamble immediately telephoned to ¥, W Crossett, a brothe -law of ‘Gamble's and an employe in the office of the freight He repaired to the hotel and was handed the note. He rode out to Park alone and commenced a search for the body of his brother-in-law. After beating the brush for half an hour he came upon the corpse. He went to a nearby sanitarium and requested one of the attendants to notify the Coroner. Then he returned and remained by the body until the arrival of Deputy Coroner Brown, who took charge of the remains. They were subsequently turned over to the family and removed to an undertak- Ing establishment. WEAPON IS NEW. No_ writing of any kind was found on Gamble's body. The revolver with which he shot himself was a new weapon and was probably bought for the purpose. ‘When Marshal Shine dismissed him from the service he made him turn over his star and also insisted on taking his re- volver, fearing that its possession might prove a temptation to commit suicide. Gamble’'s depression over the exposure that connected him with the substitution case was noticeable to his family and frtends. but none of them thought that he would seek death as a relief for his troubles. When he failed to appear at his hotel Friday night his wife became alarmed and communicated with United States Marshal Shine and United States District Attorney Woodworth, but they could give her no information of his whereabouts. STORY OF DISGRACE. Willlam P. Gamble untH a little more than a week ago was regarded as a thor- oughly honest man. He had friends in le- gion, and when it was first announced that he was mixed up in the Chinese sub- cry that the chagges were unfounded. A few days later hé confessed fully, impli- cating two Chinamen and Thomas J. Dempsey, William F. Dasha and Thomas J. Burnett, night jailers at the County Jail. He told how he had secured the custody of six young Chinamen confined in the County Jail for deportation to take them to the steamer Gaelic, whick sailed September 11. On reaching Jackson and Sansome streets he gave the prisoners a signal and they disappeared. He then went to the Appraiser's building, where he met Hom Toon and Wong Tin, who had six decrepit Chinamen anxious to re- turn to their native country. These were bundled into a hack and taken on board the Gaelic by Gamble, who represented that they were the six Chinese ordered to be deported. The substitution was dis- covered by officials of the Chinese Inspec- ticn Bureau and the gxposure followed. HIS FORMER CAREER. Gamble was born in Sonora, Tuolumne County, forty-four years ago, and spent his boyhood and young manhood there. He was a butcher. He went to Modesto twelve yvears ago and engaged in the butcher business. Subsequently he ran a ivery stable there. In 18% he came to Ban Francisco and engaged in the butcher business. When John H. Shine vas ap- pointed United States Marshal for this district he made Gamble, whom he had known in Sonora, a bailiff, and subseq the.most competent men in the office. Gamble was a man of keen susceptibil- ity, and the disloyalty he showed to Mar. shal Shine, who had ever been a steadfast friend of his, Is thought to have been the predominating cause for his suiclde. He had a devoted wife, from whom he tried to keep the full measure of his disgrace, and she remained loyal as steel, even when convinced agalnst her will that he bhad been ciilpable.

The property in question was formerly owned by Tref- , ren, who, to secure a loan of $600 from | R. K. Sutton, gave the latter a mortgage | upon it. Afterward Trefren sold the prop- erty to a Mr. Dyar and later Sutton trana- | ferred his mortgage to the late Mrs. J. Houck, who did not record the assign- | ment at the time.
