But they have no information where his hidden fund might be located. When Kiniry was taken in charge by Chief of Police Hodgkins his possessions consisted of $1 and the clothes on his back. Kiniry is rated by the police as a desperate thug, ready for any crime | and willing to take human life without | the slightest compunction. The police strip the situation of glamor and mock heroics. They insist that the prisoner, | clever and self-possessed as he may be, shall not be held up as an object of morbid curiosity. Upon that theory or- ders have been given that no persons | whose business does not warrant shall be permitted to see Kiniry. He will be given such medical or other attention | as his case requires, but under no cir- cumstances will there be any pamper- ing of the man. 30.—David Kiniry, | few’ such’ ‘organizations. ' Inat {in shape. KINIRY TALKATIVE. | Kiniry was willing enough to talk to- day to shine a bit under the limelight. His nterviewers had no difficvity in gain- g much information from the prisoner. to the point of actual part in the el that ended Policeman Smith's There Kiniry halted. Voluble and a bit boastful was he about his burglaries «nd the battle of pistols at Los An- geles that ended in his captuge. All of that he told and retold, as he had done many umes during his stay in the southern’ city after his arrest there. But it had become an old story and the récital opened no new lines of sugges- tion. Kiniry is 22 years old and a native of Montreal, Canada. His mother re- sides in the East. Much of his life was spent in St. Louis, Mo., but if his story be true he has been a thief and burglar since he was 15 years old. His essociations have not been with, criminals. Young Men's Christian Associations have appealed to him and his name nub-uu’wrol-otuu He rather indicated a wen.kneu! ute. | | Smith’s dying statements. | who was killed by Smith.

The very minute ‘and.aécurate descrip- tive circulars sent out by the Oakland departné2nt soon: after. the shooting of Smith AMovered -these items closely. | Kiniry meets_the déscription perfect- 1y. . He is tall, -slender, athletic in build, with clean-cut . face, not marked by criminal’ lines; that is strongly-enough.to be observed by an ordinary investigation. "That the pro- fessional criminal characteristics are absent is due. in'great measure, say the police, to the fact that.Kiniry has al- ways kept company of a respecta,ble class. FEW BAD HAB_flS. Kiniry has few bad- habits. He neither’ uses-tobacco in any form nor dces he use - intoxicants.. He is a “crank” on physical exercise. His practice for years has been to take a regular daily course in bicycling, ten- nis or walking, with constant pistol practice. all tendency toward “high living.” This anomalous criminal has been able to keep his mind clear, to work with ready wit and strong muscle at his murderous calling. Now that the man is here, ready for the process of the courts, the police | {and Prosecuting Attorney A. P. Leach have commenced to get their evidence cumstances which they are very hope- ful can be worked into d perfectly linked chain of Dproof to convict. Much of the case rests upon Kiniry's admissions, ‘coupled with Policeman One im- portant item is the possession by the police of two bicycles, which they ex- pect to prove were purchased by Kiniry and Goldstein, his companion, These bi- cycles were found near the scene of | the shooting. Chief Hodgkins has had much talk | with Kiniry, but avers that the prisoner has made no admissions ex- ceépt as to his earlier relations with Goldstein. Chief of-Police William T. Stanford of Vallejo, who knew Kiniry in thl! city, visited headquarters to-day and was in conference with the police. Captain Joseph J. Burnett and Detec- tive Sergeant Jerry Dinan of the San Francisco Police Department were ; also at the City Prison to talk over the case. —————— Engineers Fail to Meet.

His name was a household word .wherever - musical affairs . were under consideration, - and 'hé' -himself was generally beloved of the folk mu- sically inclined. B Mr. Loring was forced to leave his ; desk inl the offices of the Continental :| Building .and Loan_ Association of San | Franciscd, which corporation he served as- assistant secretarly, about two | weeks. ago.

HUSBAND WINS DIVORCE SUIT Decree, - but Made - to Pay - Dearly for Victory Oakland Office: S8an Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway; Nov. 30. Ross Van Horn, former principal of the San Rafael schools, was granted a divorce ‘this evening by Judge Og- den from his wife, Marion -Van Horn, on account of her undue intimacy with ‘Adolph Knopf, a-student of the Uni- versity of California, who lives in San ‘Francisco. The case.has been bit- terly fought and has béen on trial for three = weeks. Mrs. Van Horn's brother, Judge Bell of Seattle, with Judge J. J. McCaffery of the same city, came down to defend his sister against the charge, but in summing up the evidence Judge Ogden stated that the testimony was overwhelmlngly against her. There was a painful scene in court during the rendering of the decision by Judge Ogden.” Van Horn and his wife were both there and heard the words by which both were condemned. Van Horn, according to the opinion of the Judge, had not been the sympa- thetic husband of his wife that he should have been. She, Judge Ogden believed, had- been' led away by the sympathy and blandishments of Knopf, who came in for a grilling at ‘the hands of the Judge for having stayed in the house when Van Horn had protested ‘against his being there. There are two children, a boy and a girl. - Marion, the girl, was given into the custody of thé mother, while ‘the boy, Willls, was given to the ‘father. . Mrs. Van Horn was given the household furniture at her home at 2222 Bancroft way, and Van Horn was also made to pay nearly $400 in coun- sel fees and costs for his wife's attor- neys, besides the fees of his own at- | torneys, James A.
