Finance Committee Will Endeavor to Arrange for Necessary Appro- priation for work. The Supervisors’ Finance Commit- -tee decided 3eaterday that it would not allow Tax Collector Smith the sum |of $6000 out of the urgent necessity fund for the purpose of payving extra clerks. Smith explained that the ad- | ditional work entailed upon his of- fice by reason of the raise in assess- ment valuations by ‘the State Board of Equalization necessitated the in- creased expenditure, as the regular appropriation of $30,000 was nearly exhausted. The committee agreed with him, but was averse to using the money out of the fund named, as it is required for other purposes. The committee will interview Auditor Baehr witir a view | toward having the money for the ex- | tra clerks paid out of the general fund.

After being held sus- | of the murder of Joseph Buttgenbach, the and the bookkeeper of the dead packer were exonerated yester- day morning by the Coroner's jury and a few hours later Chief Wittman ordered their discharge from the City | Prison. This probably ends the hope | of discovering the authors of the crime, as the detectives are without any promising clews for further work upon the case. Thus another is added to the long list of unavenged murders | committed in San Francisco. This result of the Coroner's inquest into the death of the wealthy presi- d@ent of the Pacific Packing-house was for en from the beéeginning of the hearing on Tuesday, but it became a son certainty when a new witness volun- | tarily appeared yesterday.

Clippert's evidence supplied the missing link needed to secure credence for the story of the crime given by young Buttgenbach and corroborated by Brune—the story of two footpads who assaulted ‘the youth as he wa quitting the meat shop and who later engaged in a struggle with his father. The police are not satisfied, however, | that it clears Albert Buttgenbach, from | suspicion of complicity.

SON STILL SUSPECTED. This theory, sensational as it seems, is the only one left the detectives that implicates the boy at all. They are quite willing to admit that their orig- inal hypothesis (that the son shot the father) fails to fit the evidence at hand. They are not quite willing, however, to admit that an entirely in- nocent man could have acted as Albert Buttgenbach did act,even according to his own story, on the occasion of the crime. The young man will be watch- ed. But the murderer of Joseph Butt- | genbach, whoever he was, will not be hanged with a rope of theories, and the detectives, hard as they have worked, are still a far cry from the faots out of which to build a criminal indictment that will stand the strain of a jury trial. The hearing yesterday was largely a rehash of the familiar story already told many times by the police and their few witnesses. Henry Heide, proprie- tor of the saloon adjoining the packing- house, and Frederick Moennich, his bartender, related the events surround- ing and following the shooting as seen by them at the saloon. It took Heide only “eight seconds” to run out of his place and reach the iron gate stretched across the open front of the meat shop. He saw no one within, and to his shouts of “Louis! Louis!" no response was made. He was immediately re- | called to the saloon by the cries of Mcennich for the police. - Moennich's | testimony accounted for these cries by saying that only a few seconds after the shooting he heard some one Kkick- ing in the partition at the rear of the room and ran out into the street at Pclice Sergeant Greene reached the scene promptly and arrested young Buttgenbach he crawled through the partition. This testimony, with much of a similar char- acter, tended to show that Albert him- self could not have shot his father and then participated in the scuffle heard by several witnesses outside the build- ing. MEN IN SIDE STREET. Then came . the two witnesses who daid ‘most tor produce - the jury’s exon- eration of the Buttgenbach boy. The first was his uncle, Lorenz Weber, fore- man in the factory, who retold how he was leaving the place by the Shipley- street docr at 10 o'clock, when he saw two men standing down the south side- walk of that dark street, thirty feet from the door. The honest appearing German was not to be disbelieved, even though he contradicted himself later when Coroner Leland demanded an ex- plapation of his failure to investigate these suspicicus characters. “Well,” was the reply, “I did not want to run any risks”; and then he raised a laugh by adding, “I thought those fellows might be friends of Al- bert’s waiting for him.” - The other important witness of the day was the new character in the drama, Benjamin E. Clippert, a clerk for §. J. Haskins in the Mills building. His testimony weighs either for or against the new police theory that Al- bert Buttgenbach called in footpads to rob his father, but it tends strongly to discredit the original claim that Al- bert had shot the packer. Clippert tes- tified as follows: It was about 10:20 to 10:30 o'clock, I cannot say 1o the dot, because I do not carry a watch. 1 was going down Folsom street to Fifth. I stopped to see = (rlend In lh‘t block between | Fonrth and Wifth ‘When going toward — Fourth street, as 1 was opposite a_vacant lot which runs from Shipley street to Folsom two men ran cut and passed me.

He took my name. I do not know Mr. Buttgenbach or the bookkseper. At the conclusion of Clippert's tes- timony he was sent with Detecti Coleman in search of the | had referred to, but they failed to dis- cover one who had seen the two men running away Saturday night. Frank B. Connolly, a grocer, whose shop is just above the packing-house, testified to seeing a small man run- i ning uo Fourth street immediately af- ter the shot rang out. He admitted, however, that this “man” was probably NICHOLS TOOK HIS TIME. Jean Nichols, who had told the jo- lice that he watched the Shipley-streat door of the factory an instant after the shot was fired, went on the stand and took it all back. He had been feed- ing his horse, he said, in the little stable across the way when he heard a noise. He did not recognize it as a shot, and went on feeding and bed- the stable door. It was not until the next morning that he had been a murder. All the police and detectives who have worked on the case then followed with their accounts of what they had seen. The only new point brought out was strongly in favor of young Butt- genbach’s hold-up story. Policeman Krueger told how he had picked up Albert’s hat from the floor of the shop near. the Shipley-street door. The hat was crushed and dirty, as if it had been trampled on. Drs. L. D. Bacigalupi and C. F .Miller described the results of their examina- tion of the wound and o the autopsy. The last piece of evi- dence was the exhibition of the dead man's watch and fob. From the fob, it was stated, a had béen twisted, apparently during the supposed scuffle between Buttgen bach and the footpads, and mediately after the shooting. This was another bit in faver of story. VERDICT QUICKLY FOUND.
