Officer Is About to Make Capture When Mistake Is Made. e The untimely blowing of a police whistle prevented the capture of two burglars in the butcher shop of Thom- as E. Millar at Union and Mason streets Monday night. The crooks were at work in the shop and a police officer was within half a block of the scene, when the shrill blast of a patrolling ser- geant's whistle alarmed the burglars and they made their escape. The offi- of the crime and was calling for his men, according to regulations, at the | time. It was soon after midnight when Po- liceman John Evatt received informa- tion that burglars were at work in the butcher shop. He was about two blocks from the place, but started toward Ma- son and Union streets with every pros- pect of a good capture. He was within | half a block of the corner, when Ser- geant Phil Frayer, unconscious of what was happening, sounded his whis- tle on Mason street, near Filbert, and awakened the crooks to a sense of dan- ger. One of the burglars, who was acting as a lookout, shouted to his companion inside that the police were near and the latter quickly darted out of the door and the palr ran away. Evatt gave chase, but was unable to make a capture. With the sergeant he returned to the butcher shop and an investiga- tion was made. It was found that the burglars had used a jimmy to open the front door and that they had ap- plied the same implement to the cash register and telephone box. Their loot was not extensive and did not amount to more than $7. The matter was immediately reported to the Central police station, where in- | structions were given to all the night | watches doing duty in the section to | keep a sharp lookout for the men, who | are sald to have been responsible for | several other crimes of a similar char- | acter that have occurred on North | Beath within the last week. { —————————— | | | PERSONAL MENTION.

Prisoner Spends Years in the County Jail Studying Criminal Law. — Jean Lapique was a pathetic figure as he stood at the bar in Judge Cook's court yesterday, with a bundle of pa- pers on the table in front of him, plead- ing for more time before going to trial for the second time on a charge of for- gery. He refused the court’s offer to ing he preferred.to defend himself. The | case was set for trial yesterday, and when it was called Lapique made a mo- tion that new defendants be added in the case, which the Judge denied, and Lapique took an exception. The Judge asked If he was ready for trial, and he renewed his motion. The Judge cut him | short by telling him to be prepared to 80 to trial on December 9, to which he took an exception. Lapique has spent the last eight years in the County Jail, where he is known as the lawyer prisoner. He was | well known in"the French colony and made money by buying and sglling lodging-houses. He was arrested in 1895 cn a charge of felony embezzlement. | The complaining witness, was an old | Frenchman, who accused Lapique of embezzling $1400, He was held to an- swer on September 6, 1895, and the case came to trial in Department 2 of the Superior Court the following December, the jury disagreeing. At his second trial, on April 8, 1896, he was convicted, and on April 18 he was sentenced to serve eight years in Folsom peniten- tiary. An appeal was taken to the Su- | preme Court and he was granted a new trial, but on March 12, 1898, the case was dismissed owing to the insuffi- | ciency, of evidence, the old man having died meantime. Lapique was at liberty till the follow- | ing November, when he was arrested | on a chkarge of forgery. He was ac- | cused of forging the name of Louise Lkagarde as an indorsement on the back of a promissory note for $800 drawn by’ Philippe Maysounave in her favor. The | case dragged along in the Police Court till October 2, 1893, when Lapique was held to answer. On March 7, 1900, hei by a jury in Judge | Dunne's court, and on October 20 was sentenced to serve nine years in Fnl-i som. Since then he-has been granted a new trial and the case transferred to | Judge Cook's court. On the forgery | charge he has persistently refused to| have an attorney and has conducted | his own case. —— e SEEFING HOME FOR LITTLE INDIAN GIRL Secretary of Humane Society Anxious to Find Suitable Abode for Axina Kruger. Secretary White of the Society for | Prevention of Cruelty to Children, is | seeking a home for Axina Kruger, a tol Bay, Alaska, who is at present an | inmate of the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children, Twelfth and Mission streets, The life story of the child reads like a romance and.her trials and adventures form a pathetic story of human interest. When Axina was but a baby ont of | her brothers murdered her father and mother. She was taken in charge by a Mrs. Fred Kruger, a squaw and wife of a German trader. Two years and | a half ago Mrs. Kruger died and Kru- | ger came to this city with little Ax- ina and his own son. The children were put in charge of Mrs. Samuel Black of Sausalito and a short time ago Kruger became involved in trou- ble with a woman and fled to Ger- many. Mrs. Black found that she could not | take care of both children, so she sent little Axina to the nursery, where she has remained ever since. Secretary White has been asked to find a home | for her. She is a very bright child, with a gentle disposition, and her su- periors say she has always been obedi- | ent and an apt scholar. ——— e Pen troubles disappear when you get a fountain pen that fits your hand.

Druggists,25c,e Children WHISTLE BLOWN (LAPIQUE PLEADS | EXECUTORS MUST PAY THOUSANDS Jv.lge Coffey Files a Very Sensational Document. A Compels Attorneys Galpin a/.nd Bolton to Give Back Money. —— Judge Coffey intimates, in & docu ment filed with the County Clerk, that the executors of the estate of Amelia | R. Scott have grossly mismanaged the estate. In settling the accounts of C. M. Gerrish, Charles S. Tilton and Frank Garcia, the court finds that they exceeded their authority in using mon- eys of the estate and gives them until the 25th of this/month to pay back the sum of $6000. The law firm of Galpin & Bolton are mixed up in the legal tangle, which almost amounts to a scandal. Messrs. | Houghton & Houghton, attorneys for | the residuary legatees, are pressing the | fight against the lawyers and executcrs and thus far they have been upheld by the court. On Tuesday last the attor- | | | neys for the legatees appeared before Judge Coffey and demanded that the powers of Executor Frank Garcia be suspended. He is alleged to have broug‘ht about all the trouble. Judge Coffey postponed ‘action until the 25th 1 in order that the executors might obey | the order he made to return the mon- | | eys they drew from the Donohoe-Kelly Banking Company’s bank. { Probably the most sensational part of | the entire proceedings is the order of | Judge Coffey that A. E. Bolton of the drm of Galpin & Bolton pay $1000 tc } John B. Gartland, attorney for Charles | 5. Tilton, one of the executors. It ap- | [pears from the records that Judge Cof- | fey made an order allowing $5000 coun- | sel fees to the attorneys of the execu- tors. Galpin & Bolton secured $4750 of | this amount and paid over to Attorney | Gartland the sum of $250. The latter | rotested and Judge Coffey saw the1 Jjustice of his complaint. In his “find- | ings of fact” the.court ordered that | Bolton pay $1000 to Gartland out of the | sur he allowed for counsel fees. | COURT’'S FINDINGS. | “I find,” said Judge Coffey, “that [ the items on the credit side of tha, sec-| ond annuai account, amounting to | $1686 13, including $1560 drawn from the | bank to pay the expenses of defending the will upon the contest for its admis- | sion to probate, are an improper credit and ought not to be allowed, excepting the item of June 15, 1899, by publication | notice of time and place for proving of the will—$4 50, which is allowed. Total amount disallowed on this item, $1681 63. | “And as the executors did on June 11, 1801, without any order of court, draw from the funds of the estate de- posited in the Donohoe-Kelly Banking ' Company’s bank the sum of $1560. which sum was used by said executors in part payment of the above disal- | lowed item of costs, the said executors | must be charged with interest on said | sum of $1560 at the rate of 7 per cent | per annum from June 11, 1901, to the time of the payment of said money back into the estate, or until the same | is deposited in” the Donohoe-Kelly | Banking Company’s bank to the credit | of the executors of the estate.” | Judge Coffey further finds the exsc- MARKS BROS. | Striking Bargains in Underwear BALBRI GGAN VESTS, fleece Iined, long sleeves, high neck; color ecru; 25c quallty.

By | failure to pay the taxes the estate was | charged the sum of $77 13 above the | charged to the executors for their neg- mount of taxes and this sum s | gence. ! “I find,” continues the court, “that the item $4215 84, by commissions of C. | M.

But as all these commissions —$3300—have been drawn out by (he‘ the missions at the time was Improper, | the executors must be charged with’ 7 per cent interest upon the amounts taken by each of them from the day of the withdrawal to the time of the | payment of said money back into the | estate, or until the same is deposited in the Donohoe-Kelly Banking Com- pany's bank to the credit of the execu- | tors of sald estate.” EXECUTORS RESPONSIBLE. The court also holds the executors re- ground that they had no right to do so. “The number of gallons of redwood; cooperage sold and accounted for in | this account is 235,043 gallons,” con- | was | fact.” “The redwood cooperage | appraised in the inventory filed by the | executors on the 9th day of May, 190"\{ at a half cent per gallon. The execu- | tors sold the greater part of said coop- | erage at a half cent per gallon, selling some in excess of that amount and some at seven-eighths of a cent per gal- lon in various lots from time tg time, | the court for that purpose, and said and no return of sales of redwood court and no order has heretofore been made confirming said sales. The value | of such cooperage at the time of sales being seven-eighths of a cent per gal- lon, the executors are to be charged credited with the total amount of the sales accounted for in this account. | ACCOUNTS WERE WRONG. “The executors are therefore to be charged with $2056 62 less $1219 75, which is the amount of said cooperage accounted for as sold, leaving a bal-| ance of $836 88 with which the execu- tors should be charged. “I further find that as to the ltems: found in sald three accounts on account | of miscellaneous expenses and dis- bursements of the said executors. amounting to the sum of $282 20; that jtems amounting to the sum of $176 05, composed of various items of small sums of money claimed to have been expended ‘by the executors: that the vouchers presented therefore are insuf- ficient, and that the iftems themselves, nor the testimony, specify in sufficient detail when, where, for what and to whom said expenses were incurred, are disallowed, and the executors will b: surcharged with that amount, $176 05.
