'SMALL BOY RESENTS LAWYER’S ENDEAVOR TO CROSS-EXAMINE 1 DION'T DRINK NOTHING BUT A GLASS OF WATER NIk T But It Gives Way to Anger, Then to Tears. ——— BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. When 14-year-old Eddie Fox was called to the witness stand to sustain his complaint of petty larceny against John Baldwin, alias J. J. McCarthy, and John Coleman, he told his story so glibly as to earn nods-of approval, not | to say admiration, from Police Judge Cabaniss and Assistant District Attor- ney Rogers and the elevation of hisg self-esteem thus occasioned may haveé, been largely responsible for his resent- ful and aggressive demeanor when At- torney “Archie” Campbell subjected him to the ordeal of cross-examination. Master Fox had sworn that by means of trick and device, viz, “the short change trick,” the defendants succeeded | in defrauding him of $10 while he was | +| | acting as cashier for J.

Her husband was a professional musj- clan, she went on to narrate, and it was quest of him that led her to the saloon on O'Farrell street. While there she was discourtepusly addressed by a masculine patron, whom ber spouse promptly eject- ed, and she followed the offender to the sidewalk, where she was ‘“‘speaking her mind” when the policeman placed her under arrest. “But the idea of charging mr with hav. g heen drunk is just too ridiculous, e concluded. One of Mrs. ‘Hansford's eyelids seemed to be mervousl spasmodically while its fellow remained firm, and as she unfolded her defense the young prosecuting attorney was pal- pably embarrassed every time she looked at_him. The hearing will be resumed this morn- ing. . ‘When he changes his place of residence, which he dges about once a year, Charles W.

It was § o'clock a. m. when the hackman caused his arrest on the charge of having ne- glected to pay fare amounting to $6, but he cheerfully remedied -that oversight when informed by Judge Conlan that his restoration to freedom could be obtained in no other way. . affected, for it twitched | PAIR OF TRIPLE MURDERERS DIE Two Chicago Men Convicted of Frightful Crimes Put to Death on the Gallows HOPE FOR ONE TO END Is Examined at Last Moment and Declared by. Doctors to Be in His Right Mind CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—John Mueller and Robert Newcomb, who had each murdered three persons, were hanged to-day in the County Jail. Newcomb, a negro, was taken to the sc#mold first, as it was belleved that there was a chance that Mueller might be reprieved by Governor Deneen at the last minute. Just as Newcomb was hanged, how- ever, a message was received from the Governor saying that he positively de- clined to interfere in Mueller's behalf and preparations were made tor his execution as soon as the body of New- comb should be taken down. | As soon as it was known that the Governor had declined to interfere to prevent the hanging of Mueller, his at- torneys applied to the court for a stay of proceedings until the condemned man could be examined by an alienist. They claimed-that he was insane and should not be executed. The Sheriff agreed to the stay and the attorneys went before Judge Kersten and applied for a stay of execution. Judge Kersten declined to interfege and the attorneys went to Judge Smith. He declined to enter a formal order, but he sald he | would request the Sheriff to postpone | the execution until the examination could be made. . Deputy Sherfff Peters agreed to the further delay and Dr. Patrick, an ex- pert in mental diseases, was taken to | Mueller's cell. He examined the prisoner and announced his opinion that Mueller was sane and responsible. After this there was no further reason for delaying the sentence of the court | and Mueller was executed. The crime for which Mueller was hanged was one of the worst ever com- | mitted in this city, it being the wanton murder of his wife, Anna Mueller, 25 vears old, and his two children—Mary, aged 1 year 6 months, and Martha, 2 years 6 months. |~ The murders were committed early upon the morning of January 11, 1905, | in the Mueller home at 83 Lewis street. Mary, the younger child, was shot twice through the breast; the older child was shot twice through the head and her face and neck slashed with a razor. Mrs. Mueller's head was almost cut oft by a razor, one thumb was cut off and she was slashed in a frightful manner | about the head and face. Mueller cut | his own throat with a razor and shot himself in the breast, but after several months in ' the hospital recovered.

Allman Found Dead 1n Room With Jets Open. | Tntherstance Exhausted, Profligate Career Is Ended. Third Member of Family Whose Fate Was Unusual. George D. Allman of Oakland commit- ted suicide in a room at 319 Sutter street yesterday morning. The bedmaker found him dead in bed and -with gas escaping | from three open jets. The Coroner's office was notified and the body remeoved to the Morgue. Allman nad occupled the room for about nine days. He took his own life because he had spent the last cent of his fnheritance and could look forward to no future after a life of dissipation. He was & brother-in- law of Major J. W. Tompkins, former Warden of San Quentin prison, and 3§ years of age. “George Allman was his own worst enemy, and lately he has had little to do with his family,” said Major Tompkins in Oakland yesterday. ‘“About two weeks &g0 he received the remainder of his in- heritance from his father's estate, when my. wife gave him 3500 for a quitclaim | deed to the ranch in Lake County.

When his father died, Major Tompkins, who had been made administrator of the elder Allman's estate, notified George by cable and he returned. Tompkins gave him charge of the stage line between | Cazadero and Ukiah, which ecarried a | Government contract, and which George subsequently sold for $3000. In all young Allman inherited between $15000 and $20,000. He had spent tne entire amount, it is supposed, when he decided to end his life. While returning from Manila, Allman, about 1000 miles out from Nagasaki, be- came dangerously ill, and the surgeon of the regiment decided upon herolc. meas- | ures, which he did by opening the ab- dominal cavity and treating the internal organs, a feat in surgery never before performed on the high seas.
