Occasion- ally he plucked his counsel's sleeve| as if to call his attention to some exaggeration or omission in the tes- timony, all of which was for the | prosecution, and once he sharply commanded Policeman Tyrell to re- peat fully some language which the | witness credited him with having ut- | tered immediately after his arrest. |, Barly in the proceeding the de- fendant impudently answered the Judge's query as to his name, but afterward apologized through his at- torney. In reply to the question, he said that Geber was his name at the time he was arrested. “But what is your name now— your true name?” the Judge asked. “Never you mind what my true me is,” was the response, and its | tone was reflective of irritability. | Ex-Judge Low then apoligized on behalf of his client, who, he said, did not want to bring disgrace upon his relatives by disclosing his identity. The story of the shooting of George Hartman as told at the Coroner’s in- v was repeated. stified that when he arrested Geber latter said he shot in self de- the fense, as the Hartman boys had called him an opprobious name. ‘ “Well, why don’t you speak it out— tell what I said!” exclaimed the de- fendant. The officer repeated the unprintable epithet, and Geber nodded approv- ingly. Testimony for the defense will be heard to-day. | . When the little boy’s parents quar- reled and agreed to dwell apart it was arranged that he should re- main in his mother’s care and that his father should visit him once a week. But the child was not {nform- ed of that arrangement, and when | several evenings passed without | bringing home the big man who had | always been so kind to him he asked mamma for enlightenment, but she did not give it. Then he made up his mind to investigate for himself, and with that end in view he started out last Monday afternoon and walked | to the workshop where daddy had once proudly introduced him to ever s0o many other big men. There he found daddy and chided him for neglecting mamma, who did not seem to be happy when he failed to | appear for supper. Daddy patted the tousled head, and by promising to go home that night induced the child to permit himself to be escorted back to mamma by Arthur Hughes, a fel- low workman. That's how Arthur Hughes came to be arrested and charged with abduction. When the mother missed the little boy she jumped at the conclusion that he had been kidnaped by his father, and at once unfolded her belief and gave a description of the child to the | first policeman she met. The vigi- lant officer kept his eyes open, and son they were rewarded by seeing Arthur Hughes leading by the hand the very little boy that had been minutely described to him. So he arrested the man and restored the child to its mother. When the case was called before Judze Conlan yesterday there was no appearance for the prosecution, the mother having discovered her er- ror and the policeman being sorry he had not deferred the arrest until a formal complaint was filed. The de- fendant’s anger was difficult to mol- lify, because he had spent the night in prison, until the Judge said that the incident which had brought such inconvenience to him was probably a means of reuniting the parents. Mr. Hughes then looked pleased, and be- | fore leaving the courtroom he was overheard to say that he would willingly serve a week in jail to bring back to the little boy's father the good nature that was routed by his deprivation of the little boy’s so- ciety. | . . 1f the offense charged against Albert { Jacobsen, middle-aged and decently at- | tired, had been punishable by death he could not have presented a more for- lorn front to Judge Conlan, before whom he stood accused of breaking [ one pane of glass in the residence of Mrs. Twombly, 112 Eddy street. He blubbered and sighed and sobbed as ! gide with a man who had the killing of two human beings to answer for and ! who regarded him with mingled con- | temapt and wonder. | “Oh, Judge, be merciful,” he pleaded, his hands clasped imploringly and tears dripping from his aquiline nose and heavy mustache. “What is this man—an emotional ac- tor?” his Honor asked the bailiff, but that functionary uttered no reply. “Let me off with a fine, oh, please, Judge, do,” wailed the defendant. “T was drunk when I did 1t.” “Did what?” “I don’t remember what it was, but some of these gentlemen in the cage have told me that—" “Ah, T see, the ‘gentlemen’ in the Ab‘g&m NTS.

Miss Decker said she held the trunks because Miss Bennett was indebted to her in the sum of $110, about half of which was money loaned and the re- mainder for board and lodging at the rate of $26 a week. She then produced a contract, by which Miss Bennett had agreed to pay that amount weekly in return for the privilege of living in | the boarding-house conducted by Miss Decker on Mason street, The Judge declared the law did not allow him to look upon such a con- tract as binding, and then Miss Ben- nett, encouraged by the setback thus administered to the opposition, went on volubly to explain that the con- duct of Miss Decker toward her had always been tyrannical as well as ex- tortionate. She did not value the cloth- ing in the detained trunks—though, gracious knows, it had cost her enough —as highly as some photographs which they also contained. They were treas- ured by her as the aborigine of ro- mance prized the scalps that dangled from his lodge pole—as the soldier prized the medals won in the heat of fierce conflict., Yes, she would ac- knowledge that! most of them were por- traits of gentlemen who had admired her and she was positive that they— fl:xr‘ portraits—could not be replaced. No, she was not prepared to accept the photos and allow Miss Decker to retain the remainder of her property until she could pay for its refease. After the case had been continued till to-day Miss Decker Informed a small but select audience in the cor- ridor that one of the happlest moments in her life was when her domicile was cleared of the presence of Miss Ben- nett, whose penchant for attempting suicide had become so annoying that a saint could not endure it longer. . . e | | | i Under military escort Frank O'Con- nor, a private of the Thirteenth United States Infantry, was marched into Judge Conlan’s court for preliminary examination on the charge of murder- ing Arthur Oliver, an ex-soldier. The prisoner was handcuffed to one of the guardsmen, while three others, armed with revolvers, surrounded him, the detachment being in command of Lieutenant Halsted. Ere entering the tribunal, however, the officer showed knowledge of and respect for civic usage by ordering his men to disarm themselves and by seeing that the order was obeyed. O'Connor was at- tired in the latest prison fashion ap- proved by Uncle Sam’'s military au- thorities, a large “P"” being marked on | the back of his coat and each leg of his trousers. All the testimony was for the de- ! fense and it was taken contrary to the customary mode of procedure to al- low the military witnesses to depart for the summer camp at San Luis Obispo. Several soldiers gave the late Mr. Oliver a very bad character and testified that while serving in the Philippines he was convicted and sen- tenced for attempting to slay a com- rade with a knife. None of the wit- nesses saw the killing of Oliver, but one of them testified that on that night | he heard Oliver announce intention to | “get some d——d soldier” and that he Jias seen to strike O'Connor on the | ace. ! The prosecution will have an inni: next Friday. = .

Giblin | was drunk when he indulged in the | reckless pistol practice, his immeédiate provocation being the refusal of an Italian peddler to leave the street when commanded by him to do so. He it was who swore to the complaint that charged James H. Smith, negro, with the murder of A. O. Gallagher, a striker. : —_——— WILL OARRY CONTEST TO THE HIGHEST COURT Chief Justice Beatty of the Supreme Court of California has granted a peti- tion for a writ of error in the Cornelia Campbell estate proceedings and the matter will be carrled to the United States Supreme Court. The action was commenced to test the constitution- ality of the collateral inheritance tax law. The State Supreme Court held the measure to be valid, and after granting a rehearing again afirmed the constitutionality of the provision. The United States Supreme Court will hear arguments on the case Septem- ber 16. The contested law imposes a tax of 5 per cent on legacies to those who are not heirs of the decedent in a di- rect line. Thus brothers and sisters of deceased persons must pay the tax while fathers and sons are exempt.

Just one trial at all. Jules: That's g TELLS STORY OF ROBBERY Road Agelit Hammond, Who Dynamited North Pacific Train, Makes Confession SPOKANE, July 27.—George F. Ham- mond, one of the bandits who dyna- mited a Northern Pacific passenger train near Bear Mouth, Mont, on the night of June 16, has made a full con- fession to Sheriff Doust of this county and the officials of the railroad com- pany. The confession has been signed by Hammond, and to-night he is be- ing taken back to Montana for trial. The highwayman says the booty was about $3500 in money and about 400 small diamonds. In the division he got all the diamonds and $1500 cash. The bandit guided the officers to his cache near Coeur d’Alene City Sunday and then dug up 350 diamonds and $255 in money. To-day he guided the officers to another cache near Hillyard, where $169 more was recovered. Hammond says that he and his part- ner stole the dynamite with which they blew open the express car and that they had more than fifty pounds of it. He tells substantially the same story of the robbery that was given by the train crew at the time. After the rob- bery the bandits went into the moun- tains south of the track and later they walked all the way to Wallace in the Coeur d'Alenes. There Hammond bought a suit of clothes. He came to Harrison by rail and then by boat to Coeur d’Alene City. Later he came in- to Spokane. Here he was betrayed by a companion with whom he became associated after the robbery and was arrested. | | ‘WISCONSIN MILLIONAIRE ARRESTED AS A DRUNK R. H.

He is a millionaire from Eau Claire, Wis. He chartered a hack early in the day, and the time he had with it is beyond expression' in words. He had money to burn and his mood was incendiary. Bartenders along ‘the cocktail route fainted from the exertion of ringing up cash regis- ters whenever Baker was in sight.

PHOENIX, Ariz, July 26.—Report reaches here that H. B. Seely was ar- rested in Bisbee, charged with hav- ing passed bogus checks to the amount of $250 while intoxicated. After his arrest he was very much humiliated and immediately telegraphed to rela- tives in New York for money to squa.re) things. It is not belleved here that| any serious punishment will be in- flicted, for it seemed he did not intend | to defraud. An unfortunate -circumstance oc-! curred in connection with the incident. Seely was seen previously in the com- | pany of A. L. Bagnell, a nephew of| Governor Brodie and a respected em- ploye of the Copper Queen Company. The arresting officer, mistaking the de- scriptions of the two men, arrested Bagnell, who was entirely innocent, | but who was subjected to some hu-! miliation in the matter before he was released. Seely passed through Phoenix some weeks ago en route to Bisbee, and ac- quaintances here who have known him a long time say he is the same young man who gave the “Seely dinner,* which was raided by the police in New York a few years ago. Having spent much money, he came West to begin life over. “BILL” SMITH BAD CHAUFFEUR “Mayor” of Newmarket, New Jersey, Gets Excited and Drives Auto Against Tree —— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 26.—Losing his nerve by grazing the fender of a troi- ley car, “Mayor Bill” Smith of New- market, N. J.,, narrowly escaped the fate of his sister and brother-in-law, Charles L.
