This weman was gowned In blue and rather passe in appearance. Her hat, as well as her face, told this., When she first enterdd the court room she surged up to the railing that acts as a bar to those that are not officers of the court. A Deputy Sheriff halted her and asked what she wanted. She made some indistinct answer and Balliff Martin Welch arose from his seat and ' questioned her. “I want to get in here so that I can kiss Soeder,” she said. The bailiff blushingly assured her that the prop- osition was entirely out of order and referred her to Policeman Jack Ed- wards, who was guarding the door of a point of vantage in the west aisle of the court room and made faces at the jury. During General Salomon’s argu- ment she made voluble explanations to the men standing about her and at- tracted the atténtion of everybody. KEPT NAME SECRET. When she and she snapped back, your business.” “Why did you want to kiss Soeder,” she was asked. “Because I believe he is a persecuted man,” she said.

The arraignment was con- | tinued till next Wednesday, the de- fendant’s ball of $100 being allowed to stand. There was nothing in Mrs. man’s appearance to indicate tion over the serious charge against her. She was neatly gowned and hatted, and her countenance reflected perfect placidity of mind. When the Judge asked her for the name of the woman with whom she had fought she caimly said, “I do not know.” R R “] want you to see this face of mine before the bruises leave it,” said Ed- ward Powers, charged with having from before broke away te a distance Speak- tribula- ployed in a ecan fac- Serves as supernumera the theaters gned before J ged with cutting ck the iss Gertie Neil of 211 Min- a ragzor.

Judge Mogan glanced at the counte- | nance of Mr. Powers and remarked that it certainly appeared to have been roughly treated. Two black eyes and a mutilated lip were the most conspicuous signs of recent conflict “This face of mine shows that I was handed something before any ‘cutting was done,” Mr. Powers continued, “and I hope you'll make a note of it.” “It is mentally photographed,” his Honor responded, “and when you come up for trial next Wednesday it liams and Albert Riley | will be indelibly stamped on my mind's with razors at 171 Min- | eye.” a policeman arrested | urbing the peace, and e referee, was also run rged with months ago Kelly was the same court on a towels from a He then stated that engagement for this Leavenworth baseball the complainant’s con- ase was dismissed to enable to carry out his con- | stealing the nd with 0 cwile Alexander Wheatley is held in $3000 bonds to answer in the Superior Court to the charge of having held up a Chi- nese opium den and robbed its four in- mates.

At the conclusion of | his address to the jury he delivered a| pa ularly thing denunciation of n Cooper, the forger now in the County Jail, who testified that Soeder had confessed to him minutely how he had murdered Blaise. Incidentally he | went into the methods of the police in building up a case against his client. Soeder tened to the arguments of his counsel with evident satisfaction. CASE IS CONTINUED. General Salomon concluded at 4:15 d adjournme then Judge Cook announced an 10 o'clock. District Attorney Bying- ton said that he would probably re- quire several hours to close for the prosecution and Judge Cook sald that his charge to the jury might occupy some time. Therefore, instead of a night session, he determined to carry the case over until Monday. His part- ing instruction to the jury was more lengthy than usual and included an admonition against forming any opin- fon until they had heard all counsel and the instructions of the court. During the afternoon session a letter was delivered to Detective Tom Gib- son, mailed at Winnemucca, Nev., and signed by Theresa King, one of the witnesses against Soeder. The letter apologized for her non-appearance at the present trial and stated that she was afraid to return to San Francisco because of “one man,” whose name she | aid not sive. e CHANGES IN SOUTHERN PACIFIC PENSION BUREAU The removal of Director of Mainte- | nance and Operations Jullus Krutt- schnitt was a member of the bureau, changes in the Southern Pacific Com- pany’s pension bureau. As general manager of the company Mr. Krutt- schnitt was a member of the bureau, the rules of which provide that all acts shall be referred for approval to the president of the company. As as- sistant to the president on this coast Mr. Kruttschnitt naturally had to fill a dual position. With his withdrawal, however, General Manager Markham takes his place in the bureau and all acts of the organization will, until a new assistant to the president is ap- pointed, be referred direct to President Harriman in New York. The position | of secretary of the bureau, formerly Judge Cabaniss dismissed the defend- | | company. held by William F. Bull, statistician of the executive department of the who has also gone to Chi- cago, has been filled by A. F, Hess, un- til lately a clerk under B. A. Worth- ington, and D. T. Costello has been made executive department statisti- | cian. The pension bureau, as it now stands, is composed of the following officials of the Southern Pacific Com- pany: General Manager Markham, Manager Agler, General Superintend- ent of Motive Power Small, Auditor | Klink, Chief Counsel Herrin and Chief Surgeon Ainsworth. —_————— Excursion to Lake Tahoe.

During last summer's en- gagement at the California this com- pany made a decided hit, yet this sea- son it comes back stronger than ever. | The favorites of last year’'s organiza- | tion have all been retained, while an aggregation of all-star principals has | | been added, now making an organiza- tion of exceptional magnitude. Howard Gould, the new leading | man, was the original successor to James K.

RUMBLE WITHIN REACH OF JAIL Is Convicted of Using thc% £ Mails for the Purpose of Defrauding the Unwary AN UNLUCKY BIRTHDAY Man Who Realized Three Hundred Thousand Dollars | by Swindling Is Checked . By the verdict of a jury of intelligent | business men in the United States Dis- trict Court yesterday George W. Rum- ble was branded as a fake mining op- | erator, a.dealer in gold-brickery and a suave confidence man. The jurors did! not remain out more than an hour. The | indictment charged Rumble with hav- ing made use of the United States post- office in furtherance of a scheme to de- fraud. Next Wednesday at 11 a. m. was | fixed as the time for passing sentence. | The extreme penalty is a fine 8f 3500 and imprisonment in the penitentiary for eighteen months. I W. H. H. Hart and Aylett R. cmton. attorneys for Rumble, intend to take the case before the United States Cir-| cuit Court of Appeals, and will make ' their preliminary motions on Wednes« day. After the announcement of the v dict Assistant United States Attorney | Ben L. McKinley informed the court that the surety company which had furnished the $3000 bonds for Rumble's bail had become bankrupt, and he! moved that a new bond in the sum of | $10,000 should be required to insure the prisoner’'s appearance for sentence on next Wednesday. Rumble was taken in | custody by United States Marshal John H. Shine and shortly thereafter was released on filing a bail bond for $10,000, | with the Aetna Indemnity Company of Hartford as surety. The evidence on behalf of the Govern- | ment had been collected and prepared by Postoffice Inspector James O'Con- nell. Mr. O'Connell performed his task | so thoroughly and with so much nice discretion that not a loophole was left | for the defendant to squeeze out of. | The sleuth found that within the last three years Rumble’s net deposits in ! bank in his own name and in the name ! of his wife amounted to $265,068, real- | ized from the sale of stock in the Sun-' set Mining Company and from the sa.le of bullion produced by the Old Glory mine. All the bullion disposed of by Rumble in the United States Mint and at Selby’s Smelting and Lead Works amounted to $24,741, according to the | statements obtained by znspecmr O'Connell from the officials of those i stitutions. ! Yesterday was Rumble’s sixtieth birthday. He was not at all thankful for the gift handed him by ‘the jury. —_———— To Attend to Legislation.
