BOLD UP Evans Planned the First Robbery Story of His Scheme to Escape CAUGHT IiN DENVER ONE OF A GANG OF DIAMOND BOBBERS Information Furnished by a Prisoner in Sacramentos Jail Special Dispatch to the CHBOVicl Saceamesto April 14 A telegram was received by Chief of Police Drew to day from Denver announcing tbe arrest of Harry Gilmore The information upon which he was arrested was furnished by Horace Black now in the County Jail charged with robbing Wachhorsts jewelry store in this city of a large quantity of diamonds Gilmore was one of the participants in that crime Gilmore is supposed to have been the head of a gang of garroters and burglars who operated in San Francisco just before the time of the Wachborst robbery in this city One of the gang was discovered and put in jaU but did not remain there long Gilmore knew how perilous it would be to let the detectives work upon the caged criminal and determined to procure nis release This he did by procuring a number of professional bondsmen in San Francisco who swore that they were large property owners It was soon found that Gilmore had committed perjury and he learning that he had been discovered fled to Sacramento where in company with Horace Black and another crook whose name the police are keeping silent committed one of the most startling robberies known in this city for years The Denver authorities state that in that city Gilmore went by the name of Jim Jordan and was a successful confidence operator On one occasion he managed a footrace in which he fleeced a crowd of sports out of a large sum of money In Chicago some time ago it is said he killed a man whom he had robbed Governor Markham was applied to for requisition papers this afternoon and promptly furnished them A special officer left to night to bring the prisoner to Sacramento Denver April 14 James Jordan alias Harry Gilmore is in the city jail awaiting the arrival of California officers to take him home to Sacramento to answer with Horace Black and William Edwards for stealing 7000 worth of diamonds from the Wachborst jewelry store in Sacramento in January 1893 Black and Edwards have confessed An effort will be made to secure Jordans release on habeas corpus proceedings Jordan was recently tried here for the murder of Cliff Sparks but was acquitted HEATH FEARED A MOB ALARM GIVEN BY ONE OF HIS ATTORNEYS The Officers Failed to Find Indications of Lynchers Any Special Dispatch to the Chbokiclk Fresko April 14 Late last nigiht A Williams one of Heaths attorneys went to the residence of Under Sheriff Fred Berry and told him that a mob was organizing to lynch Heath Mr Berry hurried to the jail and made prepara tians for defense but found that there was no danger He could find no sign of a mob When Mr Williams was asked where the mob was he said that it was coming in from the country but could give no further details He did not knojv where it was or from what part of the country it was coming After remaining at the jail till morning Mr Berry and his officers went back home The general opinion of the people here seems to be that there is no danger whatever of Heath being violently dealt with and that the scare last nigh I was unnecessary Something may have been done to create the impression that Heath is in danger and that a change of venue is necessary It is not believed that the prosecution would make much opposition to a change of venue any of tha counties bordering on Fresno On Monday next the question of admitting Heath to bail will come up before Judge Webb and possibly some suggestion will then be made as to the place of the next trial The Man Who Helped Now Charged With Burglary at Los Angeles Bpecial Dispatch to the Cho icx Los Akgeles April 14 A sensational story has been going the rounds to the effect that in John Shulter now in jail here on a charge of burglary the authorities have the man who is responsible for the first train robbery at Roscoe station on the night of December 23 1893 It will be remembered that soon after the first robbery Evans made his escape from the County Jail at Fresno and at that time it was stated that the hold up was planned by Chris Evans and carried out by his pals in order to raise money to defray the outlaws expenses after regaining his liberty It will also be remembered that at the time Evans made his escape some man disguised as a tramp flagged the train at Porterville and to the engineer and conductor told a tale of how he had been forced to join a gang which was to hold up tbe train that night The tramps story had the effect of drawing every available officer out of Fresno and that evening Evans and Morrell carried out their part of the programme According to the story the man who acted as Chris Evans first lieutenant and who took a leading part in the first robbery and the one who played the part of a tramp is now confined in the County Jail and on Monday morning will be brought before Justice Bartholemew for arraignment as will Thome Comstock and Fitz simmons on a complaint charging them with the first robbery Shulter is the man it is said who en gineered the first robbery It is claimed that he was on his way to join Evans when Marshal Gard and his posse put an end to the outlaws career last June at Stone corral After the capture Shulter it is further said managed to see Evans quite frequently in jail at Fresno and what arrangements could not be talked over between the two were made by Mrs Evans It was fully planned to rob the train in order to raise funds Evans advised Shulter to come to Los Angeles pick out the confederates and hold up some train in that section from tbe fact that the trains between Bakersfield and Lathrop were carrying guards Shulter arrived here about the 1st of December and succeeded in picking out some pretty good men among whom itls said were Comstock and Thome It is claimed that he did not meet Fitzsim mons until after the first robbery On the afternoon of December 23d so the story goes Shulter in company with Thome and another party who is still at large left this city for the scene of action in a light spring wagon Shulter rode behind and is said to have been identified by three persons living at Burbank They were re enforced by two men who came along with the train Financially the robbery waj a failure but the escape of Evans was not All the railroad and other detectives were in Los Angeles But there were a few deputy sheriffs to dispose of and it was accordingly planned to fix Thorne up as a tramp and give the railroad company a story about an imaginary robbery to take place near Fresno so as to draw them oft It worked like a charm and Evans assisted by Morrell had but little trouble in overpowering the solitary guard After the escape Shulter planned the second robbery but got too ambitious and went into the burglary business and on January 13th of the present year entered the house of Bigelow from which he stole about 1000 worth of jewelry Through the detective work of A Marsh he was arrested and held to answer to the Superior Court It was while he was in jail that Officer Marsh assisted by Brighton and Detective Benson gathered up the threads in the case Before he was arrested he had planned to join Evans and together they intended to do some train robbing He visited Evans house had several talks with his wife and it is said kept up quite a correspondence with Brighton whom he supposed to be with himself and Evans Shulter was in jail at the time of the second robbery boon after he changed his tactics and was more than anxious to go before the Superior Court and plead guilty to the charge of burglary At last nis request was granted and he was to be sentenced Monday but he may be obliged to stand trial on a more serious charge At 730 oclock tnis morning Marshal George Gard Detective Len Harris Deputy United States Marshal Harry Johnston and Brighton having in charge Pat Fitzsimmons John Gomstock and Walt Thorne left for San Fernando where the prisoners were arraigned on a charge of having held up the passenger train on the Southern Pacific on February 15th at Roscoe The preliminary hearing was set for next Friday at which time all the evidence in the case will be brought out The bail has been fixed at 10000 each Shulter was interviewed late this afternoon and indienantly denied that there was anything in the story which he attributes to the fertile imagination of Detective A Marsh to whom he owes his present confinement The resemblance which Shulter is said to bear to Evans is not apparent to every one nor does he tally with the descriptions given of the men who perpetrated the robbery He declares that he does not know Evans and has never had any correspondence with him on any subject He claims that the detectives are so anxious to fasten the crime on some one that they do not care what they say Shulter was cross examined but he stuck persistently to his denial There are many who believe that he is not in any way connected with the train robbery HIS MIND IMPAIRED The Absence of a Seattle Man Is Explained Seattle Wash April 14 A Sherwood of th Sherwood Stone Company returned to this city last night as suddenly and unexpectedly as he disappeared July 24 1S93 His explanation of his departure and absence furnishes a story around which a writer of fiction might weave a romance founded on a peculiar mental disease with which Sherwood was troubled When approached by the Cheoticle correspondent to night foi an account of tbe affair he was loth to talk but finally spoke as follows I feel keenly having had such mental trouble and my trip is the more unexplainable as I am averse to traveling I must have lost my identity and memory for I have only a dim recollection of what happened since I left here last July until I came to myself in London How I gdi there I cannot tell As soon as I founn out who I was I knew I had nothing to do in London and hunted np a steamer to go back to Seattle I only stayed there three days and did not see anything of the city for I came right back on discovering my identity What surprised me ii that 1 do not seem tojhave met any one whom I knew while away although I have numerous acquaintances in the East Mr Gott stein who told of meeting me on the Union Pacific train says be talked to me and that I got off at Miller Springs yet I do not remember the incident There was no ground for the theory of speculative mania as I have gone through that on the Chicago Board of Trade I am glad to get back and do not intend to wander again Snerwood looks little changed and his mind ii as bright and clear as before he left here His memory is nnlmpaired as to events that occurred before he started on bis strange trip He speculates with laughter and mystification at what may have occurred during the eight months between his leaving Seattle and finding himself in London During his absence no unsavory reports were circulated as his finances were in good shape and his reputation of the best THE PKENDEKGAST CASE One of the Attorneys for the Prosecution Withdraws Chicago April 14 Attorney A 8 Trude announced to day his withdrawal from the prosecution in the Prendergast case Up to the present time Mr Trude said all indications point to tbe fact that Judge Chetlain will rule favorably to the Prendergast side I do not think it necessary for me to remain longer in the case CRIMES OF AN AGENT HE SECURES A LARGE SUM BY FORGERY Complicated Dealing in iNotes and Mortgages by a San Jose Man i Special Dlmatch to the Chbojcicxb San Josx April 14 About two weeks ago George Hughes a prominent real estate and insurance agent left San Jose supposedly for Los Angeles and has not since returned and the sequel to his departure was discovered this afternoon in the way of a document in the County Recorders office purporting to be the release of a mortgage the signatures of which had been forged It appears that in 1891 Busing through Hughes as his agent made a loan of 2000 to Edmund Farthing taking the latters note and a mortgage on a lot on Eighth street in security A few months ago Nanoy and Martha Davidson purchased the note and mortgage from Hughes giving him 2000 for the same Hughes also acted as their agent and through him they had no difficulty in securing their interest until about two months ago However they let it run along until yesterday when they decided to foreclose the mortgage An attorney was directed to bring suit and accordingly made a search of the records To his surprise he found that a document was on record signed by Martha and Nancy Davidson purporting to be a release of the mortgage in question Further investigation showed that the names had been forged and that the release was acknowledged before Hughes Upon this release Hughes was enabled to get more money It appeared that he had arranged with Farthing to raise the Husing mortgage himself If Farthing would give him his personal note for 900 he said he could secure a loan on the property for 1100 from Miss Kraft This transaction went through perfectly on the strength of the release and Hughes having got 1100 from Miss Kraft left the country As to the Davidsons mortgage and the note against Farthing another forgery exits Husing says that he never assigned his note and the mortgage against Farthing to anybody and as an evidence he has in his possession the original docu ments SVS a logical sequence that some intermediate person has sold the Davidsons a bogus mortgage and note for 2000 Out of this muddle the facts are that on Farthings little lot on Eighth street which is worth about 3000 Husine has a mortgage for 2000 Martha and Nancy Davidson a mortgage for 2000 Miss Kraft a mortgage for 1100 and Hughes has the personal note of Farthing for 900 Hughes wife and child are still in San Jose FETE AT PALO ALTO ATHLETIC SPORTS AND OTHER AMUSEMEiNTS Berkeley Wins the Second of the Series of Tennis Contests Special Dispatch to the Chbojcicx Palo Alto April 14 The junior class day exercises consisting of speeches by the various clas9 presidents and aquatic sports in the morning an original farce presentation in the afternoon and a reception in the evening passed off smoothly yesterday The farce written by Charles Field 95 brought out a large crowd in Encina eymnasium in the afternoon For originality and the ability displayed in its presentation it was far superior to anything of the kind ever given here before The big reception given in the spacious gymnasium in the evening was the event of the college year Over 100 couples were present the brilliant affair breaking up far too soon to suit the eager dancers This morning the second of the intercollegiate tennis contests between Stanford and Berkeley was played off resulting in a victory for Berkeley Ellis of Stanford defeated Gage of Berkeley in a hot contest by a score of three sets to one Sanborn defeated Bumiller of Stanford The doubles which were to have taken place with Bumiller and Cochran against Bixby and Sanborn were defaulted to Berkeley by the Stanford men without a contest Bumillers poor condition was the cause of this The baseball game was poorly played by both teams Welden and Morden the opposing pitchers were batted freely Welden loose work is mostly accounted for bv his attendance at the junior reception last evening With eight errors on each side the score finally stood IS to 11 in Stanfords favor RAPID TRAiiSIT PROBLEM A Callfornlan Promoting a Scheme for an Underground Hallway Chicago April 14 Marcus Pollasky the California promoter lawyer and engineer is prepared to take a heavy weight from the shoulders of the road managers who have been fighting their way down town inch by inch He proposes to build an underground railroad in which all roads can run their trains to the very heart of the business district Pro motor Pollasky points to the success of tbe London onderground road as an evidence that the system of tunnel terminals would pay in Chicago He says he will ask the City Council for a franchise Regarding the scheme the Herald said to day It is not considered probable that anything will ever come of Mr Pollaskys project A large number of property owners recently investigated the subject carefully and satisfied themselves that the underground road could not possibly be built in Chicago The road managers are not giving any attention to Mr Pollaskys plans Both the Lake street line and the Alley are still in tbe field soliciting frontage signatures and with better success than at any time daring the last month Ill Officers Claim foHaveMuch Evidence A Letter on the Mulligan Robbery Confession Said to Have Been Made by an ex Convict to a Woman Special Dlscatch to the CHSpmcLZ Sasta Rosa April 14 James Bogle the young man arrested here yesterday for complicity in the robbery of Treasurer Mulligan of Healdsburg was taken before Justice Brown to day to give baiL The warrant was issued by Justice Baker of Healdsburg but Bogle expressed the wish that he might give bail here and accordingly he was taken before the Santa Rosa Justice His bail was fixed at 3000 Con Shea and John Sibbald the latter of whom Bogle was to accompany to Scotland are his sureties He has retained A Burnett as his counsel The officers claim to have the most convincing evidence against the accused and express the utmost confidence that he will be held for trial They rely much on the statement said to have been made by a fireman of San Francisco This man it is alleged is Peter Thelin of San Francisco According to the intormation of the officers Bogle approached Thelin and asked him to go into a job at the City Hall at Healdsburg Thelin refused and it appears that Bogle found another man This man the officers are now looking for He is said to be an ex convict named Uuny and is believed to be in some of the bay cities The main evidence against Duffy is a letter written by him now in the possession of the authorities in which are statements not only implicating the writer but also Bogle Further than this the officers have located a woman to whom it is said Duffy made a confession of the crime Duffy visited the woman in San Francisco shortly after the Healdsburg robbery He appeared to be well furnished with funds The woman knowing Duffys usual impecunious condition was surprised at his display of wealth and questioned him as to its source It was then so it is said that Duffy inspired to confidence by liquor told the woman of the Healdsburg robbery and detailed the part he took in it An incident which is corroborative of the dead Treasurers story has come to the knowledge of the officers The story is told by Mrs Stockton an elderly lady residing near Healdsburg and her daughter Miss Clara Stockton The latter was bookkeeper in a Healdsburg business house and on the night of the robbery the mother drove into town for her On their way home about 10 oclock in the outskirts of the town they overtook four men The men did not hear their approach the hoof beats of the horse being deadened by the deep dust on the road The men were conversing One of them said Whats that Tell him Price is sick was the answer of another of tbe quartet Mrs Stockton remarked to her daughter Why Clara Mr Price is sick Do you hear Her voice attracted the attention of the men and they acted as if unpleasantly startled The women did not like tbe way the men eyed them and drove rapidly on Charles Fitch is another witness whom the officers expect to produce He lives near Healdsburg close to the grove in which Mulligan was found chained to a tree He will swear so it is said tbatfre saw two men leave the grove on the morning of the robbery before the discovery of Mulligan His wife alio saw the men and both agree as to their description It tallies with that given by the dead Treasurer of the men who treated him so cruelly The officers expect to prove that Bogle met Duffy in Petaluma Duffy was registered at a hotel in that town a short time before the robbery and with him was a man who gave his name as James Vogle Both claimed to have come from Buzzards Roost The officers say this is a nickname for a mountain ranch in Sonoma county where Bogle was once employed Bogle stoutly maintains his innocence and declares that Mulligans bondsmen and their friends are at the bottom of the whole matter Opinion is evenly divided as to his guilt Mulligans friends claiming that he is one of the guilty parties while Bogles friends and he has many of them deny that he has any knowledge of the crime and openly assert that it is a desperate effort to defeat tbe suit against the dead Treasurers bondsmen Bogles examination has been set for Thursday April 19th at Healdsburg HEALDSBURG OFFICERS TALK They Do ot Have Much Confidence in the Firemans Story The city authorities of Healdsburg are not inclined to place much credence in the story of Peter Thelin City Attorney Norton Marshal Leard and Depnty Marshal Louis Norton were In San Francisco yesterday and when seen they all expressed the belief that Thelins story would not hold water Thelin is oonnected with the Midwinter Fair Fire Department at the present time He says that Bogle attempted to inveigle him into taking a hand in the robbery but Deputy Marshal Norton and Oeorge Mulligan say that he told ah entirely different story in October last iust after the robbery On this occasion in October said Louis Norton yesterday I was standing on the street with George Mulligan when Thelin came along and commenced talking of the robbery He said he bad been approached by two men who asked him if he didnt want to make Borne money out of a job at the City Hall He said that one of the men looked like the City Treasurer and the other was Lou Norton I said So he looked like me did he I dont think Thelin had ever seen me before He looked around in surprise and said Youre not Lou Norton are you I told him I was and he had nothing more to say Now he tells an entirely different story Thelin was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on one occasion in Healdsburg and on another was given six hours to leave town Bogie I understand says he is prepared to prove where he was on the night of the robbery and he seems to have the sympathy of the entire community I Am free to confess that we have no knowledge as to the whereabouts or identity of the mysterious ex convict DufTv warerooms on Nassau street In New York After it was bought a branch of the cabinet company was established in New York for the purpose of enabling the cabinet company to draw drafts on them and place them in the bank as credits They would be kept in the bank and never be sent forward for

April 14 The Chinese treaty when it is taken np in executive session at 2 oclock on Tuesday next will be put through nearly all the formalities necessary before a final vote can be taken on its ratification The treaty will be read a second time by paragraphs and amendments will be in order What is most feared by those who have it in charge is that some amendments may be carried Amendments to treaties only require a majority vote whereas on final vote two thirds are necessary for ratification This means two thirds of those present Not more than Bixty Senators are usually to be assembled in a session of the Senate unless something extraordinary is going on The Democrats will therefore be obliged to bide a favorable time for the final vote and Senator White did not to day believe that there would be a safe number pres ent at tbe end of the long speech which Senator erkms will make on the treaty next Tuesday Senator Perkins was yesterday morning requested to go to North Dakota on a special investigating committee of tbe senate consisting of himsen and Senator Kyle but declined on the ground that there was too much of importance going on In Washington for Californias Republican Senator to leave the capital It is rather significant that somewhat later in the day it was agreed to take up the treaty on Tuesday at which time Senator Perkins would have been several hundred miles away lo dav some of those in favor of the treaty were expressing the fear that it may be defeated Out those opposition have no new hopes that it will Senator hite said that he had not been informed that the treaty as sent to the Senate had yet been approved by the Chinose Government but there is ample reason to believe that if passed it will be found to have received the approval of the Emperor and Viceroy It is stated on good authority that Senator Dolph wiM not speak against the ratification and that he may even absent himself when thel vote is taken It is also said that SensAor Stewart has been flattered with shrewd promises concerning the intention of Chinese to use more American silver in future so that he will vote for ratification If so he will have been cleverly taken in by those employed here to lobby the treaty through as there is no reason to place any reliance on their statements MlSCEtLAKKOrsiS la Misnnderstaflding the P6pu larity of Drs GopelaM Winn and Neats The
