The impressionists had decided not to exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition, and the letter of the general association called upon them to reconsider their refusal to send pictures. In their reply to the letter the impressionist branches of the asso- clation say: “We cannot uubjec'. ourselves to the decision of & central jury whose artistic competency we dispute, and we protest |against the claim that the exhibit will | present a mirror of German art.

Chief of Police St. Clair ,Hodgkins allowed another twenty-four hours to pass without getting a trace of the man he has accused of the foul murder of Policeman James H. Smith. His detectives have been compelled to work in the dark in no slight de- gree because of the astounding meth- ods that prevail in the handling of criminal cases by Oakland’s police Chief. It is a fact that at least one of the police detectives assigned by Chief of Police St. Clair Hodgkihs to duty on the Smith case was not in- formed by that official of the resi- dence in Oakland of Goldstein and Kiniry, although Hodgkins had that information in his possession less than two-hours after Smith had been mur- dered. Essential as it was that the police should be apprised with all possible diligence of the fact that the men had a hiding place in this city, Hodg- kins, for some unaccountable reason, not only withheld this important fact from nearly every patrolman in the department, but included in his list a detective officer who was supposed to be exerting efforts to catch the fugi- tive murderer. That David Kiniry, now in full flight, had d4mple time to elude pur- suers, get to the Steadman house at 1362 Grove street, write a letter to Goldstein-and then easily make™ his escapeé after helping himself to such articles as he could carry away, is no surprise in view of the astonishing retelations concerning the Hodgkins plan of criminal catching. To nine out of ten of the members of the Oakland Police Department the newspapers furnished the details and not alone details, but general knowl- edge of the murdei that should have been imparted that night broadcast by Hodgkins. By what process of men- tal gymnastics Chief ‘of Police Hodg- kins conceived the idea that secrecy was to be practiced, even to the extent | of excluding working detectives from s, has not been fath- knowledge of cle: omed.

After a thorough overhauling of the two trunks that were left at the Stead- man residence by Goldstein and Kiniry, the police announce they have found two scraps of evidence that connect the pair with the burglaries at the resi- dence of Mrs. George W. Morgan in Berkeley and at Willlam Bannan’s residence on Harrison street, this city. Little Robert Morgan on Sunday identified Goldstein’s body as that of the burglar he saw in his home the afternoon the Morgan house was plun- dered. Mrs. Morgan to-day identified as having been stolen at that time a small silver locket that was among the effects in the trunks. Mrs. Bannan identified a pair of lipk gold cuff but- tons as belonging to her husband and among the $1000 worth of jewelry stblen from their residence. But not a trace of the $4000 worth of valuables stolen trom the Thomas Crellin residence has been brought to light. The circumstantial evidence has al- ways been very strong that Goldstein and Kiniry were the successful porch climbers. Kiniry filed an application for mem- bership in the Young Men's Christian Association on November 20, paying a year's dues, $10, and receiving a mem- bership card. In his application he gave the name “David Kanary,” and recited that he was born September 13, 1881, in St. Louis, of Frénch parentage and of Catholic religion. To Robin Buswell, assistant secretary of the as- socfation, Kiniry said he was a car- He desired only the privileges of the gymnasium. He exercised daily at the gymnasium until last Friday, the day Policeman Smith was shot. Sev- eral times a young man, supposed to have been - Goldstein, accempanied Kiniry to the association rooms. In the visitors’ register the name “David Kin- iry” appears under date of November 27, the day of the murder. Comparisons of .the handwriting witn that in the note left at the Steadman residence for Goldstein, after the shooting, bear out the theory that Kiniry was the author of the message to the pal whose deafh was the penalty of evil association. FUND FOR MRS. SMITH. Kiniry has an aunt, Mrs. R. B. Loy- al, residing at Vallejo. Accarding to rs. Loyal, the young man worked there at his trade for Contractor Brovn ‘some eighteen months ago. The aunt had been in correspondence with her nephew after he and Gold- She had in- vited- therh to spend Thanksgiving with her, but they did not appear. Kiniry was at Vallejo ten days ago and dis- played diamonds. Mrs. Loyal was as- tounded at the revelations concerning her nephew. Kiniry’s mother, now a Mrs. Watson, resides at Toledo, Ohio. He has two uncles in San Francisco, where he went to school at Sacred Heart Col- lege for a time. Goldstein’s father, who formerly con- ducted the Brooklyn Hotel in FEast Oakland, but now resides at Gilroy, has joined with' the mother, his di- vorced wife, Mrs. K. Greiner, in pay- ing the funeral expenses for the young man. The funeral will not be held un- til after the inquest on Wednesday evening. Young Goldstein was born in this city August 26, 1384 By reason of the manner in which Policeman Smith met death his rela- tives, after much persuasion, have con- sented that a committee of the young patrolman’s friends shall raise a testi- monial fund in behalf of the aged widowed mother, who leaned upon the son for support. A mortgage of $2800 covers the home young Smith was buying for his mother. After the ex- penses incidental to his death and other bills have been paid little will re- main in the life insurance money due his mother as beneficlary. \ To the end that a suitable testimo- nial shall be raised, a committee com- posed of Eugene Van Court, Dr. H. B. Mehrman, A. P. Leach, W. J. Hennes- sey and Judge George Samuels, has taken charge. Subscriptions will be received at the Central Bank and at all of the Qakland newspaper offices. Governor Pardee will be reqiested to offer a reward in the name of the State for the capture of Kiniry. David Kiniry was accused by a Cor- oner’s jury to-night of the murder of Patrolman James H. Smith. Chief among the witnesses called at the in- quest by Coroner Mehrmann was -young Steadman. He was subjected to a rapid-fire cross examination by the Jjurors, who declared their belief that they were not satisfied that the young man had told all he knew concerning the case. QUESTION BOY CLOSELY. It was the belief of the Coroner’s of- ficials that Steadman had been cau- tioned by some one to refrain from giv- ing certain evidence. For what pur- pose concealment was desired has not been explained. A reason advanced was the theory that Steadman had met Kiniry at the house after the crime had been committed, and was unwilling to make that fact public. Coroner Mehrmann has ordered Steadman to appear to-morrow evening at the in- quest in the case of Goldstein. Steadman, at the outset told about the arrival, on November 16, at his home of Kiniry and Goldstein, who rented separate rooms. They had kept good hours, coming and going. regu- larly. “The day of the shooting I went out man, “returning during' the after- noon. About 6 o'clock that evening, while I was standing on the back porch talking to Maury Miller, Goldstein and Kiniry went out with their bicycles. I left some time afterward and went downtown, where I heard about the shooting. I followed the ~crowd . to Fourteenth and Oak streets, where I saw the body and noticed the colored sweater. It looked like the: same Sweater that Goldstein wore when he was-hunting. I went home at once and looked in Goldstin’s room to see if his sweater was there. It was gone, and 1 was sure the man was Goldstein.” Here jurors pressed the boy to know whether he' had examined- the body closely and he replied he had only seen the top of the head. % Steadman gave varying. reasons for his sudden departure for home, leaving a strong impression that some motive stronger than he was 'willing to ex- plain prompted his sudden departure from the scene of the murder. Steadman said: “I found the note on the dining-room table that I gave to the police and as soon as I was satis- fied that Goldstein was the man I went to Chief Hodgkins:" Replying to questjons, Steldmnn sald that when he returned home both the front door and back door were locked. It is a fact that the police found the back door open when they arrived. This points, - according to the Coroner’s in' the house when the boy returned from the scene of the murder, and that second time. This theory appealed so strongly- to the jury that one juror asked: “Did you go to Kiniry's room?” “No, sir,” replied Steadman. “Was Kidiry in the room?" “I don't know. T\didi’t hear any noise there,” said Steadman. Other witnesses examined were Cap-. tain "8f Police W. J. Petersen, Reeves Baker, Dwight L. Strong, Eugene Van | Court and Dr. O. D. Hamlin. The jury’s verdict was as follows: “We find that death was caused by hemorrhage from the portal vein, re- sulting from a gunshot wound there- in, inflicted by one David Kiniry! with criminal intent, and we charge the sald David Kiniry with the crime of mur- der.” Signed—Charles W.
