Callleaud pere told Judge Mogan that Monsieur Briard struck the nose of Caflleaud fils and that he (the senicr) re- taliated in kind upon Mons. Briard, who really was the prime provoker of the quarrel. Mons. Briard, howsver, told a different story. He was orally and fistically as- sailed by the younger Cailleaud ere he raised hand, he averred, and when he endeavored to flee the spot the two Call- leauds restrained and “‘ponched’ him with much vigor., Callleaud junior's non-appearance in court was explained by his sire, who stated that he was il as a result of the “ponches” he recefved from Mons.

If I hadn’t a-bin can- tankerous I guess I wouldn’t a-got it. What's de use o spendin’ yer time chewin’ de rag over it. I don't want to see nobody soaked. Let it go—let it go.” Prior to Mr. Dwyer's ebullition of mag- nanimity John Patrica, accused of having inflicted the skull mutilation, pleaded not guilty and told the court all he knew about the case. He was employed in a restaurant at 145 Powell street, and at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning one of his many fellow-employes, but which of them he could not say, was washing the side- walk fronting the establishment and ac- cidentally bespattered the pataloons worn by John Dwyer, then sauntering by with unsteady gait. Mr. Dwyer thereupon ut- tered uncomplimentary allusions to the pedigree of the man with the mop, who retaliated by swinging that implement and bringing its iron-bound business end down with great force upon the cranium of his traducer. Then the assallant fled, and Mr. Dwyer instructed a policeman to arrest the defendant as the author of the battery. In accordance with Mr. Dwyer’s re- quest to “let it go,” the Judge ordered dismissal. @ 8 Richard Wicking, whose barber shop is at Eighteenth and Castro streets, ex- hibited to Judge Mogan a bruised and blackened eye, which he averred was inflicted by the right fist of Patrol- man Skelly, to whom he had jokingly sald, “Hello, Standard.” “What did you mean by that?” his Honor asked. “What? calling him ‘Standard? Oh, I don't know. I heard somebody else hand it to him and I didn’t think it was anything offensive.” After recelving the black eye, Mr. Wicking continued, he. ‘“spoke his mind” concerning police tyranny, and for that he was arrested by Patrolman E. T. Davey and a posse. “Well, I think your faclal damage satisfies the ends of justice,” was the court’s mode of dismissing the case. —_—— Sergeant Mofiitt in Trouble, Charges will be preferred by Cap- tain Duke against Sergeant John W. Moffitt, who is on day duty at the Cen- tral police station and keeps the rec- ord of warrants issued. Moffitt failed to report for duty on Wednesday and yesterday mornings, so he called at the station on Wednesday night and it is alleged that he was under the Influence of liquor. Chief Dinan said yesterday that the matter could not be overlooked. Moftt has been about a quarter of a century on the force. He was dismissed from the department at one time and reinstated later. About three years ago he was fined $800 for being Intoxloated while on duty and cautioned that the next time would mean a dismissal. —_—— Golden State Limited—The Popular ‘Way East, San Francisco to Bt.

He sald he left a friend at Hermann and Valencia streets and walked toward Mission to get a car. The three men stepped up to him and told him to hand over what he had on him.

Ott, manufacturing jeweler in the Starr King building, 121 Geary street, shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, caused a scare throughout the building and brought the firemen to the scene. The fire was extinguished before much damage was done. A re- port was circulated that burglars had attempted to blow open the safe in Ott’s office and Detective Wren hurried to the place. He found that the report was groundless and Ott was so indig- nant that he threatened to do bodily injury to the man who started it. —_—— LADY BEROLDS OCCURRENCE SAYS NAPOLI 5 INOCENT 0F WURDER Alapia Swears He Heard Bra- silio Confess in County Jail That Strano Killed Brogardo on January 22 TELLS STORY BEFORE CROWD OF WITNESSES Declares He Can No Longer See an Innocent Man Suffer for Crime Which Another has Committed SE i Ea s “Napoll never murdered Gulseppe Brogardo at Pletre Raia’s barber shop last January. Salvatori Stramo killed that man. Brasilio has confessed to me and to Napoll here in the County Jail that he fired at Brogardo, but that it was Stramo who killed him. Napoll is innocent. Brasilio does mot want to testify against Stramo, because Strano is the godfather of his children. Bra- silio is trying teo lay the blame om Na- poli, and swore against him in court, although he knew that Stramo killed Brogardo. I kiss Jesus Christ that what I am saying iv the truth. I can keep still no longer. I cannot see Napoll go to prison and suffer. He has a big fam- ily, who will starve. He is a good man, He did not kill Brogarde. He had ne revolver. Strano killed him.” In the little reception room of the County Jail last night Alapla, the bar~ ber who worked in Pietre Rala’s bar- ber shop and was close at hand when Brogardo was murdered, made this startling confession before Leon Sam- uels, attorney for Napoli; J. B. Ingulla, an interpreter, and several other wit- nesses. He spoke as a man who was fearful of the results of his confession, but who was resolved to finally tell all that he knew. Napoli was present during the whole conversation, and at the end he gave a clear recital of the part he played in the events that led to the terrible murder on the night of January 22, 1905. He swore that he was innocent of the murder—that vither Brasilio or Strano had fired the fatal shot and that at the prison Bra- silio hfld told him and Alapla that Strano’s bullet had done the work. STORY AIDS NAPOLL If the story of Alapia is true, Napoll, who has just been convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to San Quentin for seventeen years for the kill- ing of Brogardo, is an innocent man. True, the story may be a scheme to lay the blame at the feet of Strano, although both Alapia and Napoli seem to be in- tensely sincere in their statements. Ala- pia was not a witness in the trial of Na- poli. He appeared before the Grand Jury and testified there. Alapia’s desire to disclose the confes- sion of Basilio seems to have been inten- sified by a fight the two had on Wednes- day afternoon. Alapia swears the fight was over a mere nothing, but Napoll, who is in an opposite cell .at the County Jail, maintaing wuat he heard Alapia up- braid Basilio for letting Napoli be sen- tenced for murder when he, Basilio, knew that Napoll was not guilty. Napoli says that Basilio was terribly angry and that he knocked Alapia down with one blow. A further phase of this complicated | story was brought out which seems to ex- | plain Napoli's silence up to this time. Napoli did not testify in court that he saw Basilio and Strano run down the alley "after Brogardo and that he heard two shots fired. Alapia says that Napoll would not. tell this because of his aver- sion to telling on another man. Alapia also says that at one time Brasilio offered to take all the blame and swear that he committed the murder in self-de- fense, but that Brasilio's attorney would not let him pursue this course. GIVES DETAILS OF FIGHT. Alapla’s story is as follows, told in Ital- ian and translated, sentence by sentence, by the interpreter: ‘We were having a dance at the barber shop on that night. Basilio and several others were there. Rosario Dominio and Brogardo came in and began to make trouble at the dance. Brasili> started out to fight with Dominle, but Rala pulled him back. Then irdo bed Basilio and him to come out and fight. I went out to separate them. In the meantime Napoll and Strano_arrived. Napoli tried to part the fighters and Brogardo drew a pistol and’fired at him. I ran Into the house when the shooting began. Atter T was arrested I was brought Into the ail with Brasilo and Rala. I asked Brasilio who shot Brogardo and he sald that it must have besn Napoli, because Napoll had a pistol while he did not. 5. Then Strano and Napol! were arrested. They cccupled cells opposite us.

Napoll also told a seemingly straight story of his whereabouts that night. He swearg that he did not reach the scene until after Brogardo had fired one shot, and that then he tried to separate Bra- silio and Brogardo. He says he told Bro- gardo to run and that Brogardo started up the alley, Strano and Brasilio follow- ing. He told the story of Brasilio’s talk within the jail cell exactly as Alapla re- lated it. He still maintains at all times that he is innocent of wrong. Attorneys Samuels and R. F. Morgan, who have recently undertaken the de- fense of Napoli, have secured a’ten days’ stay. It is probable that a new trial will be granted on the new evidence secured. Strano and Brasilio are yet to be tried for the murder. pada TP RGN Says Garbage Ordinance Is Violated.

Herbert is said to be a son of the vice president of the First Natlonal Bank at Niles, Ohlo. He was 38 years of age and a draughtsman and expert accountant. He was conneotdd for six years with Hennessey & Co. mining men, in Butte, Montana. From Butte he went to Los Angeles, where for a year he was employed as auditor for the street rallway company. Then he became draughtsman and accountant for the Whiting Lumber Company. His friend, R. C. Edwards, foreman in the elevator works of John Hammond & Co., obtalned a position for him with that company and he came on here, leaving his wife and family In Los Ani On December 27 Herbert told Ed- wards he was going down town to meet some railroad men from Stockton, and that was the last seen of him by Edwards. Mrs. Herbert came on from Los Angeles on January 6, and stopped at Edwards’ residence, 174 Linden avenue. Since then a search had been kept up for the missing man. It was on the night of December 27 that Herbert engaged a room at the lodging-house at 347 Sixth street. He paid 75 cents per day for the room, and on Wednesday asked to be placed in a cheaper one. He had been drinking heavily all the time he was there. It is supposed that death was due to natural causes, as there was no evi- dence of poison. —_——— Diaries, Calendars and Memeorandums. ‘We have a supply of Excelsior diariss for this year; aleo calendars, pads and date books.
