Then the marauders retired. It was Sykes who first man- aged to work his hands free from their shackles and give the alarm. Wheatley was arrested at 216 Mont- gomery avenue by Officers Brown and Holmes. He gave his occupation as but the police say he is a professional thief. It was the descrip- tion of him furnished to the police by 'kes that led to his arrest, and his ldentification promptly followed. Wheatley's mask dropped off while he was at work, and Sykes caught a glimpse of a pecyliar facial scar before the disguise was resumed. . Alice Evans, in whose apartment in the Carroll House, on Sixth street, Charles Ford wgs shot in the head by | George Pearson on the night of April 19, was a reticent witness at the pre- ary hearing of Pearson yesterday fore Judge Mogan. She swore that st prior to the shooting she swooned, was restored to consciousness by und of the pistol shot, did not see Pearson with s decline to state how much they the eapon in his possession.

The case will be resumed next | Thursday. Pl b Two 12-year-old girls, convent pupils, were the accusers of Joachim Thorde and their testimony prompted ge Mogan to increase the defend- nt’s bail from $10 to $100 cash. While they were walking on Eddy street, near Mason, at $:30 o'clock Monday evening. the girls stated, they were accosted by Thorde, who ad- dressed them with undue familiarity em accompany him to the St. Louis Exposition. When they attempted to | escape he detained them and finally they called a policeman and had him rrested.

Harry Clark, a student, stood simi- | larly leged that on were returning from a theater to their home in the Western Addi- tion the defendant followed them un- til they told Special Officer Helbush, who arrested him at Sacramento and Scott streets. Their testimony corroborated by the officer, who had watched Clark follow the complain- ants. The case was continued till next Thursday for investigation of char- acter and the defendant's bail fixed at $300. It was a social club, with respect ability vouched for by Chinatown's | elite, that Ah Son victimized when he stole three opium pipes, and several members of the organization were in Judge Fritz's court to swear, if need be, that no “dope” was ever smoked under the club auspices or even with the club’s sanction. Ah Son himself swore that his plunder was not club property, but belonged to one of his innumerable cousins, who owed him money and refused to pay. With the club’s skirts thus cleared of suspicion of sheltering a “joint” the remainder of the trial was unprolific of interest. It was proved that Ah Son pawned the pipes for $6 and then sqld the pawn ticket for $1 and he will be sentenced to-day for petty larceny. e 1 John Hayes, professional mendicant, committed the indiscretion of his life when he wandered from his usual haunts and attempted to ply his call- ing at the main entrance to the Palace Hotel, for Judge Mogan is noted for protection of the guileless tourist from the local beggar. Six months was the sentence promptly prescribed for John. Mrs. Orie Gogadus was given thirty days in the County Jail for cruelly neglecting her five-year-old son, and twenty-four hours in the City Prison was the sentence received by her hus- band, George, it having been shown that he was out of town at the time the babe was left to starve by its mother. Judge Mogan supplemented the sentences with a scathing arraign- ment of the woman, in which he dwelt upon the fact that drink had quenched her natural love of offspring. P William King's morbid curiosity led to his arrest, and Judge Fritz fined him 45 for neglecting to curb it. oo Mule-Team—Our Trade Mark. ‘While the remains had dropped dead were lying at Third After being robbed the four men | so0 that | rp reproof from the bench, but she | e ! 1d sald he would like to have one of | charged in the same court, his| accusers being two young girls, who Monday night while was would be allowed to touch the corpse until the Coroner had taken charge of it, but while his back was momentar- ily turned Mr. King slyly removed the cloth and peered at the dead face until he was caught in the act. He could not explain to the court his irresistible | yearning to gaze upon grewsome sights. “We have already found six previous for vagrancy,” said his Honor, “and the clerk will continue his search of the records until he finds ten more, for the police say that the total is six- “Guess dey am right, yo' Honah,” said James Turner (colored), “an’ ef twill save yo' clehk enny trubble I'se will confess to sixteen.” “No” trouble at all for the clerk, James,” was the cheerful response; “he is paid for searching the records, among other things. Meantime, as the quest proceede, you can go up to the County Jail for thirty days, and by that time, I guess, we will have the count completed.” W Alexander McDonald and Patrick Lyons were buflding bridges and sav- ing money in Arizona when they de- cided to take a vacation and separate themselves from some of their hoard- ings in this city. When they were arrested night before last for fighting on Howard street they were drunk and had about $200 apiece. “Of coufse we're guilty,” said Mr. McDonald to Judge Fritz, “and I guess we're able to pay what you're goin’ to fine us.” “I'll let you down easy said the Judge: “by paying $5 apiece you can go. If you desire to do any more fight- ing hire a hall and battle where you will not be interrupted and put to the inconvenience of arrest.” S R John Anderson, arrested for vagrancy in Portsmouth square, bitterly in- veighed against the way in which he was treated by the gardener of that oasis in the north-end Sahara. ““Wese a sittin’ on a bench, me an’ anudder gent,” said Mr. Anderson, “not doin’ nottin’ to nobuddy, but jist dis- cussin’ some perlitical matters, W'en turns de hose on us. Den, w'en me friend an’ me purtests, he calls de cop an’ wese pinched. I now charges him wid bat- tery.” The complainant did not deny the hose incident, nor did the court seem to consider it offensive. “From your general appearance, Mr. Anderson,” the court said, “I feel jus- tified in opining that the hose-playing did you more good than harm. And | this opinion is formed with full appre- ciation of your aversion to water, either as a beverage or a cleansing fluid. Five dollars or five days.” “An’ yet de parks are maintained fer de use of de people!” indignantly ex- claimed Mr. Anderson. “That’s what,” acquiesced his Honor; “but they are not maintained as loafing places for vagrants.” & ne Mrs. Angelina Melanasi and Mrs. Beatrice Sicca, with the aid of an Ital- ian interpreter, told to Judge Mogan | their respective versions of that memo- rable unpleasantness a few evenings | ago on Cortland avenue which resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Melanasi for the alleged brandishing of a knife and a hatchet and the threatening to bespat- ter a sidewalk with the gore of Mrs. Sicca. The versions were widely at va- riance, of course, as were the state- ments of eye-witnesses. Once upon a time the Melanasis and the Siccas were partners in the retail fruit business at 215 and 430 Cortland avenue, and when the Siccas retired they left some of their personal prop- erty in the two stores retained by the Melanasis. When the Siccas called at 215 they were told by Mr. Melanasi that he knew nothing of their left-behind belongings, and referred them for fur- ther enlightenment to Mrs. Melanasi, who was presiding at 430. There they were received in open hostility by Mrs. Melanasi, who, the complainants aver, chased them from the store by flourish- ing an ax around their heads. When the weapon was wregted from her hand by a gentleman who happened to be present she seized a large and sharp knife and hurled it at Mrs. Sicca, but with such truly feminine aim that at three yards’ range it missed its in- tended target by about three feet and stuck quivering In the wooden side- walk. The defense not only denied the hatchet and knife practice, but tried to make it appear that Mrs. Melanasi’s re- sort to the deadly use of those weapons would perhaps have been justifiable, inasmuch as Mrs. Sicca had more th:'m insinuated that Mrs. Melanasi's rela- tionship with Mr. Melanasi was not sanctioned by either State or church. This provocative phase was under dis- cussion when Judge Mogan abruptly ordered a continuance of the hearing till to-day. R e Nineteen-year-old Sophie Leighton accuses her father, who resides at 1403 Montgomery street and works along- shore, with neglecting to provide for his four children, of whom she is the eld- est. Since the mother died Sophie has been the housekeeper, and she alleges that unless the natural guardian of her brother and little sisters is compelled to mend his ways the household will go to ruin. Judge Mogan will hear the father’s defense to-day. ————— Notice to Passengers. PBaggage transferred to and from all trains, steamerz, etc., at low rates.

Barnes, Aged Gov- | ernment Clerk, Says He fringed on Pon Injunction] Was on Hyde's Payroll POLICEMEN DISMISSED Officers May Enter Enjoined Premises After They Sec a Misdemeanor Perpetrated Judge Cook yesterday afternoon dis- missed the charge of contempt against Police Commissioner Harry W. Hut- ton, who was cited to answer for hav- ing violated an injunction issued by | the Superior Court in Department 12 against the police force of the city. The injunction prohibited them from entering or interfering with the prem- ises at 1129 Dupont street. In the same decision Judge Cook acquitted Police- men Kechane and Orr of having vio- lated the provisions of the injunction by climbing over roofs and descending into the court of the notorfous resort by means of a rope. This was on May 2 and they arrested four inmates of the place on misdemeanor charges. Attorney George D. Collins, on behalf of the applicant, Jean Pon, who osten- | sibly runs a restaurant in front of the place where women ply an {llicit trade, fought with every legal pretext to have Police Commissioner Hutton and the two policemen adjudged guilty of con- tempt. His contention was that the policemen were acting under instruc- tions from Hutton, delivered to Captain of Police Duke, and that the arrests were unlawful because the policemen were not armed with warrants and that a certaln period of time elapsed between the commission of the alleged misdemeanor and the arrest. RESORT OF VICE. The premises at 1129 Dupont street are devoted to fallen women. In front is a restaurant through which is the entrance to the women's quarters in the rear. Judge Cook’s injunction for- bade the police to interfere in any way with the restaurant business unless a crime was being committed their view. Accordingly the police found a window in the building at 603 Broadway, where they could view the court in the rear of the restaurant. They saw the inmates of the cribs ac- costing men visitore and overheard their solicitations. Then they climbed over the roof of the resort and de- scended into the court, arresting four women on misdemeandr charges. Attorney Collins contended that in- asmuch as the police officers had lost sight of the defendants during their descent from their point of observation they had no right to make arrests and consequently violated the provisions of the injunction. In support of this contention he cited a decision of the New York Court of Appeals, which co- incided with his view. Judge Cook de- | clared that he did not agree with the decisfon and did not consider it good law. He held that the officers were properly in pursuit of a crime they had witnessed and that the fact that they had lost sight of the criminals for a brief time was not sufficient delay to prevent them from being justified in making an arrest on a misdemeanor charge without a warrant. HUTTON IS CLEARED. As regarded Hutton there was no testimony to show that he had in- structed Captain Duke or the police- men to violate the injunction. Duke testified that he and Hutton had con- sidered the provisions of the injunc- tion and instructed the officers that if they could witness a violation of the law they were entitled to enter the enjoined premises and make arrests of the violators. Even in.the event that the policemen had infringed on the provisions of the injunction, said Judge Cook, it was clear from the testimony that Hutton was not amenable, as in such case the officers had acted be- yond instructions. The citation against Hutton was dismissed and after Po- liceman Keohane had testified both he and Orr were purged of contempt. Among the witnesses during the hearing were Police Commissioners Drinkhouse and Regan. Both declined to testify regarding the instructions and power given Hutton in the matter on the ground that such were given in executive session of the Board of Police Commissioners and were privi- leged communications. Both had writ- ten statements made out by their coun- sel and Judge Cook sustained their contention. Hiram Johnson, at the opening of the morning session, read the answer of respondent Hutton, making specific denials of the charges in the complaint and then denounced the resort at 1129 Dupont street in unmeasured terms. Attorney Collins moved to strike out that portion of the answer as irrele- vant and Judge Cook granted the mo- tion. Johnson made an impassioned plea for retaining in the record that part of the answer, because, he said, the restaurant business conducted by Jean Pon was notoriously a sham and fraud and intended solely to protect a resort that was one of the most im- moral spots in the city. CHARGED WITH PERJURY. During the morning session a woman named Rosie Miller, who had been ar- rested for vagrancy by Policemen Davids and. Barry, testified that she had never entered the premises at 1129 Dupont street, except on the occasion of her arrest. As soon as she reached the corridor she was arrested for per- jury at the instance of Captain Duke and booked at the City Prison. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out before Judge Cook and she was brought into court during the afternoon. In the meantime the Judge had ordered her testimony stricken out as being not relevant. At the close of the contempt pro- Judge Cook ordered the re- lease of the Miller woman on her own recognizance, because in no case could she be convicted of perjury, as she had not testified to any material fact. The contempt proceedings against Policemen Davids and Barry, charged with having violated the injunction on two occasions, will be heard on Mon- day morning next. within DIMOND CONTRADICTED John D. Ackerman Declares He Never Told Defendant of Benson’s Aztec Profit Yesterday’'s hearing in the land frauds case was devoted to gathering in stray items of evidence not yet on tha record and otherwise preparing for the close. 5 Government Counsel Heney began the day by bringing to the stand.all i the other members of Banker Morris’ Oakland household, where Hyde’s lieu land selector, Elizabeth Dimond, was servant at the time he was sending ! documents purporting to have been executed by her to Washington. Mrs. Mary P. Morris, Mrs. Mary E. Morris and Mrs. Caroline Morris Burdick, re- spectively the wife, daughter-in-law and daughter of Henry S. Morris, who testified on Monday, each took the mony the banker and his son had given. They never knew a woman named remembered that at some indefinite time in the past a “girl” called Lizzie had worked for them. They did not remember whether she was in their | home during 1897, when her name was being used on the papers in Hyde's office. They never knew of her signing any papers. Of course, like other “help,” she had her day off each wéek | and might have employed it in geal | estate transactions with their kinsman Hyde over on this side of the bay. They had never heard of one H. M. Morris, who is alleged by the Govern- selectors of public lands. FRONTIN ONCE MORE. When the three women left the com- missioner's stuffy little room, Joseph B. Frontin, the breezy cattleman from Tucson, was recalled for cross-exam- ination. He started many a laugh answers, but added nothing to his previous story regarding his relations with Defendant Joost H. Schneider garding Dimond and Hyde. Bert Schlesinger, of Hyde’s counsel, then moved to strike out all the testi- | mony in the record tending to show that Elizabeth Dimond was a myth, on the ground that it rested on Schneider’s declarations made after he had left Hyde's employ. Heacock denied the motion. Susan Dickinson, Hyde's comely stenographer and bookkeeper, was next called by Heney. Schlesinger objected on the ground that any information obtained by her from her employer was privileged, but he was overruled. Miss Dickinson admitted that she had sent affidavits and deeds to the notaries to be completed with jurats or acknowl- edgements when the persons purport- ing to execute them were absent. She had written a letter on the subject of Schneider to Hazzard, Hyde's Tucson attorney. She could not recall its sub- stance. It might have been something about keeping Schneider from talking. BARNES GOT HYDE'S MONEY. The most important witness of the| able clerk in te General Land Office at Washington, whom Heney called for the purpose of showing that Harlan and Valk were not the only employes of that great department bribed by the alleged conspirators. Barnes said he had been in the land office for nearly forty years and that he had been re- ceiving money from Hyde in driblets since 1895. The witness avoided direct answers as much as possible and showed that he felt the humiliation of his position deeply. But it gradually came out that the money was paid for extra work in furnishing Hyde with advance information regarding State school lands and indemnity lands, matters not directly included in the indictment. Barnes was the man to whom the now famous “Dear Sir” letters were sent by Hyde, who had paid him about $550 in all, he said. John D. Ackerman, the land and min- ing attorney, contradicted Dimond on an important point. The defendant tes- tified that Ackerman had told him that Hyde and Benson had divided $60,000 as their profits from the Aztec deal. Ackerman not only denied such a state- alleged to have been employed as a | stand and gave exactly the same testi- | Elizabeth Dimond, but they distinctly | ment to be another of Hyde's fictitious | among the spectators by his positive | and Schneider’s disclosures to him re- | day was James Jay Barnes, a vener- | There is a best To be sure you get the tacks.

At that time a portion of an | anonymous letter was read to the wit- ness, but he could not identify the passage in any of the letters shown him by Heney. THE AZTEC DEAL. | Philip N.
