The PARDON FORGER NOW ON TRIAL Ralph E. Williams Is Before Court-Martial for Clever Escape From Alcatraz CONSPIRACY UNEARTHED Doors of the Prison Thrown Open and Men Walk Out on the Spurious Orders Ralph E. Willlams, the military prisoner who escaped from Alcatraz in | October, 1903, upon a forged pardon purporting to come from the War De- partment and who was captured at Mare Island some months ago, is being tried by a ‘general court-martial at the Presidio on a charge of forgery. Wil- liams' plea is that he knows nothing of the forge and was surprised when the authorities opened the doors and told him to pass out. The defendant raised, however, a question as to statute of limitation and the case, which was set for last week, was postponed until yesterday, when it was decided that he was a fugitive from justice during the last two years and therefore the Statute does not ap- 1y. % )W'illisms. with several other prison- ers, escaped from the prison by means of fraudulent orders, which were sup- posed to have come from the War De- partment, but which were afterward traced to the printing office on the island, where one of the escaped prison- ers had worked. The men evidently had a confederate in the city, who mailed the orders to the commanding officer and the vrisoners were thus al- lowed to go free soon as the forgery was dis- covered .. general search was made, but lall of the men had made good their escape and it was not until a few months ago that Williams was caught where he had enlisted {in the Marine Corps. He was imme- diately taken back to Alcatraz and | shortly after he was tried for escaping | from prison and given a short sentence | in pr.son. In the present trial the army officials | expect to prove that Williams procured coples of other releases while working in the office where he could become fa- miliar_with all such orders. Upon pro- curing these copies another prisoner in the printing office duplicated them and | they were sent back to Willlams, who forged the names of several officers in | aathority Williams was sent to Alcatraz from Manila for defrauding the Government out of $10,000. He is credited with be- |ing a very clever penman. o et Woman Robs Buyer. Fred Brockelmann of 553 Mission street re- ported to the p last evening that he had been robbed of overcoat and $300 in his apartments. A ding to the story told by Brockelmann he entered into an agreement with an unknown woman to purchase a haif/| interest in the saloon of Fred Albrecht at 310 Folsom street, The woman accompanied him for the purpose of signing the agreement and later he missed the amount of money he told the police had been taken from him. woul Iy requ rty with to fur- % <+ Golden State Limited—The Line of | | | Lowest Altitudes. | -anclsc Louis and path and when Patrolman Clancy | brought him to halt there lay behind | cou % him a long trail of prostrate mas- Iiterature. %J(hem ll- culinity. “He didn’t strike any of the gentler sex?” the Judge asked the policeman. | No,” was the reply; “he let the| women pass.” e - Well, that wasrather cov.siderate— | For Infants and Children. |not to say gallant,” was the court’s | | comment. | One of the men who went down be- | Mr, The Kind You Have Always Bought fore Wakelee's fist was Stephen | Bears the | Brennan and he and two others who | M | had been similarly treated were there Signature of A % |to testify, but when they learficd that the defendant had a wife dependent | upon his earnings for support they de- WAHA IRRIGATION SYSTEM.? | cimead to prosecute him. “And yet,” quoth his Honor, “the Idsho, Feb. 1, 1806. |average young man shuns marriage.” be received at the office ! But the gleam of hope that illumined \Ml’_ Wakelee's countenance when Bren- |nan et al. announced their determina- | tion was but momentary, for the Judge | | declared that the policeman’s testimony | | alone was sufficient to warrant a pro-‘ neuncement of guilty. “So you may file a new complaint,” | he said to the officer, “and next Friday ;\ell take the case up again.

His Honor decided that Mrs. de Moore had exercised unnecessary violence in her argument with Mrs. Flood, and after ordering her to pay a $5 fine he expressed hope that each family would be enabled to have a clothesline of its own. “Is there a wash out on the lige to- day?” Public Prosecutor Duke Jasked Mrs. Monahan, and ere the lady could reply the Judge put in that railroad mishaps had nothing to do, with the case. .
