Robinson 8 ST el FOURTEEN = EXAMINED Important Evidence Given by Mrs. Elizabeth Broeske, Also by Mrs. A. Hansford —_— The trial of Allen Goucher, charged | with the murder of Policeman Eugene | C. Robinson at Sixteenth and Valencia streets on the morning of January 21, 1802, was continu®i before a jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday. Many witnesses were examined, but their evidence was the same as at previous | trials of the defendant’s alleged fellow conspirators. The witnesses examined were Dr. J. F. Sullivan, Lieutenant William Price, | Policeman T. Connell, Mrs. Elizabeth Broeske, Mrs. A. Hansford, Willilam Ritchie, Alfred Benning, A. Fredericks, Attorney Stephen B. Costello, William Condrin, Frank J. Egan, Patrick S.| Higgins, John G. Weise and Ferdinand C. Apel. The most important testimony was that given by Mrs. Broeske and Mrs. Hansford. At the time of the murder Mrs. Broeske had a lodging house at 203 Turk street, where Goucher, Henderson | and a cripple named O'Brien had rooms. They left the lodging in a hurry on the morning of the murder. After they left Mrs. Broeske found por- tions of clothing in the stove which they had been burning. Mrs. Hans- ford llved in the house. She gave similar testimony, Ritchie, Benning and Fredericks are carmen who testified to six men com- ing into the city from Cypress Lawn | Cemetery on the last car on the night | of January 20. They had previously identified Kaufmann, Henderson, Ken- nedy and Coulter, and they thought Goucher resembled one of the other two. Attorney Costello testified to passing three men about 1 o'clock in the morn- ing of January 21 on Valencia street rear Eighteenth, and one of them, a smooth faced youth, calling to him to come back. He walked on and soon heard the terrified yells of a man. He looked round and saw a man who look- ed like a Japanese running toward him and disappearing in a Japanese store near Eighteenth street. Two blocks farther on Robinson was murdered. The police say that a large number of the spectators in court are what are known as ‘yegg men” or “hoboes” who are deeply interested in the resuit of the trial. The case will go on this morning. —_————— A Delightful Sea Voyage. Tahitl, a dreamland, balmy climate, a variety of scenery.

Justices Lose Thfee Years’ Salaries by Delays. The Supreme Court made the start- | ling diccovery yesterday that Superior Judge John E. Raker of Modoc County Wwas holding office while under sen- tence for contempt, and that the Jus- tices of the State’s highest tribunal had been collecting their salaries ille- gally for more than three years be- cause they hag not decided the appeal from contempt procsedings within the three months prescribed. Consterna- tion reigned on the seventh floor of the Parrott building for several hours and at closing time last night the jurists were in a dilemma as to what should be done about the matter. It is ex- pected that some order which will Solve the perplexing problem will be made -to-day. This legal difficulty is a direct result of the historic lynching of five people near Lookout, Modoc County, on May 31, 1901. The victims were Calvin, Frank, James and Martin Hall and B. D. Yantis. Their offenses amounted to nothing more than nocturnal raids upon clotheslines and woodsheds. But the residents of Lookout and its vi- cinity became enraged. There seemed no absolute proof that the suspected Hall family was guilty of the petty crimes and yet there was no one in the neighborhood but that believed them responsible. When the suspicion grew to be a moral certainty the male | sopulation organized to put a stop to the evil. After some argument by night rash counsel prevailed and it was decided to lynch the suspects. The father of the family had married a squaw and the progeny was of the half-breed type. Yantis was not a blood relation, but had joined his fortunes with those of the Halls. It was never disputed that the whole outfit was of no use to itself and a positive detriment to the community. HANG FIVE ON BRIDGE. At midnight the ranchers gathered at the grocery store owned by the Jus- tice of the Peace. Every man covered his face with a mask. With rope in Land the crowd marched on the Hall abode. The five disreputable members of the family were found at home. They were summarily dragged from their beds, half clothed, and hurried out into the night. The younger vic- tims pleaded . piteously for, their escape from what they thought was to be merely a beating or a coat of tar and feathers. Until the last they fail- ed to realize'the grim purpose of their captors. The crowd hurried away from the town, dragging the fear-stricken vic- tims or urging them on with curses and blows. Down the shaded road the strange assemblage disappeared from the sight of the few women bold enough to venture ‘ouit. into the night and of the men who dared not take part in the dastardly crime, When a bridge over a gorge had been reached the party halted. A noose, previously prepared, was placed around the neck of Calvin Hall, 72 years of age, the other end of the rope was strung around a stringer of ward), $450; Nursery for Homeless Children, $100; Elmhurst open air fund, $400. Total, $3065 15. the bridge and the old man, tottering with his years and fright, was pushed off to his death. Frank and James Hall and Yantis were murdered, one by one. It is related that one of the Hall boys, seeing the awful fate of his associates and knowing that death im- pended, made a heroic fight for life. Do you wear glasses?

BOY GETS NO MERCOY. The last of the family to be sent into eternity was Martin Hall, thirteen years of age. One or two of the mask- ed criminals suggested that the child’s life be spared, but the others were in- exorable. While the little fellow pray- ed for mercy, the strong-armed ranch- ers of Lookout twisted the hemp about his neck and kicked his frail body from the bridge. The work was done and the murderers returned to their homes contented. Next day the strange spectacle of five bodies swinging from the bridge told to the world the story of an awful crime. Modoc County was aroused from one end to the other. Some said the deed was justified, others demand- ed an investigation and the punish- ment of the murderers. "After several weeks the authorities arrested nineteen suspects. Whether these men were guilty or not has never been settled. Attorney General Ford sent a deputy to assist the prosecution. Detective Thomas Gibson of the municipal police force was also at Alturasiand at Look- out to aid the peace officers. Ex-Su- perfor Judge G. F. Harris ahd John Raker, the present Superior Judge, were engaged by the defendants as counsel. The attorneys for the prisoners pre- pared petitions for writs of habeas corpus which Judge Harrington de- cided were contemptuous. He senten- ced them to pay fines of $500 each, with the alternative of five days in jail. Harris spent three days behind the bars, while Raker hgstened to San Francisco to ask the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of his colleague. An alternative writ was issued and dates were set for the BROKEN LAW, | spite .of the lapse of time. For some | unaccountable reason, the proceeding | had been lost in the court record, but | it was found yesterday. | Judge Raker immediately filed a pe- HALE'S. HALE'S.

The statutes of California provide that | the members of the Supreme Court | cannot collect their salaries when any | case is pending for a period of more ithan three months. The Raker and| Harris contempt case has been on the | | files for more than three years. Mean- | while the Justices have unknowingly | been collecting their salaries in viola- | tion of the law. Judge Raker is con- fident that Judge Harrington exceeded‘ his jurisdiction in making the orders| of contempt and that the = Supreme Court will set him and Attorney Harris i free. The case was taken under ad-! { visement yesterday and it {s expected ! that a decision in the matter will be| | rendered to-day. | Judge Raker says the lynching inci- | dent has been almost forgotten in| Modoc. The county is more prosperous | | than ever before, and the people of the | section are expecting great benefits from the Congressional appropriation for the Klamath {rrigation project. : The Supreme Court records show that | there has never been a single appeal | from one of Judge Raker's decisions | since he has been in office. —_————— PLUNDER IN CAVFE FOUND BY RAILROAD DETECTIVES Three Members of a Gang Known as the Forty Thieves Are Arrested | for Burglary. Three members of a gang known as the “forty thieves” were arrested on Tuesday by Detectives Lewin and Madden of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. They were charged with petty larceny, but to-day the charge will be changed to burglary. The gang has been breaking into the Southern Pacific shops at Six- teenth street and stealing brass jour- nal bearings and other articles, which they carried to a cave at Alameda and Potrero avenues. The officers went to the cave on Tuesday, but were seen by two lookouts who gave the alarm | and the three defendants ran out of the cave. The officers chased them and fired shots in ‘the air to intimi- date them, but they escaped. They were subsequently arrested. The officers went back to the cave and found about 400 pounds of brass | journal bearings and several sledge | hammers which had been stolen from , the shops. They took possession of | the property. The police say the same | gang h been terrorizing people in' the neighborhood of the cave. Several | were arrested about a month ago by | Detectives Regan and O’Connell, but as nothing could be proved against them they were discharged.

F, MAKES THREAT T0 KILL WIFE Frank Daulton, Mad Because She Obtained a Divoree, Talks of Shooting Family Following close on the Bee Taylor excitement in Judge Troutt's court- room, Frank Daulton yesterday threat- | ened to kill his wife and children and to whip Attorney W. W. Davidson, who { Mrs. Daulton, got the wife's divorce. followed by her children, rushed into Judge Troutt's presence, and, with scared face, appealed to the court for protection from her husband. She was followed by her daughters, who were hysterical, and for an instant the cause of the disturbance was unin- | telligible. When Bailiff Sullivan calmed the trembling women and escorted them from the courtroom the mother informed him that her husband threat- ened to kill her because she had got a divorce. Mrs. Daulton said that he had threat- ened to shoot her and her children with a revolver he said he was carrying. Prior to entering the courtroom the Daultons were in the corridor outside. Daulton had his coat off and was threatening Attorney Davidson with a thrashing. When they rushed into court Daulton disappeared. Baliliff Sullivan escorted the divorcee to the car and during that time Daul- ton failed to appear to make good his threat to shoot. Mrs. Daulton’s two girls, Effie and Gertrude, were still agi- tated as the party boarded the car. The Daultons were marrfed at St. Jo- seph, Mo., in 1882, and have been living in this city at 510 Carlton street. In the complaint for divorce many acts of cruelty were recited., On the stand the wife deseribed how her husband beat her and threw a heavy coffee cup at her and struck her with a chair. She said that Daulton had choked his daughter Effie and dragged Gertrude around the room by the hair, making threats against the lives of all of them. She was granted a divorce and custody of the children and allowed $20 a month for their support. —_———— RAUER WILL HAVE TO GIVE HEAVY BOND Board of Works Exacts Big Security Against Damages From Ex- The Board of Works yesterday di- rected ‘“Jake” Rauer to furnish a bond in the sum of $50,000 before he will be permitted to explode blasts on his lot on Ellis street, between Gough and Octavia.
