ANOTHER CHAPTER.

ANOTHER CHAPTER.
In the case of Isaac P. Newton, recently
held to answer under charge of stealing the
horse and buggy of Lee Stanley, full chap
ter of previous crimes is opened by copies of
former judgments against him. received by
Chief Karcher from Chief of Police Crowley
of San Francisco. 1t appears by these
that be has already served three terms in
the State Prison, and all of them for stealing
horses and buggies, procured in similar
mann r to that for which he is again await
ing Trial. In fact, he may be said to
have 7cquired the occupation OF getting away
with horses and buggies, and In carrying on
the business he has returned to the locaiity OF
his former operations.
The police are careful not TO perpetrate
SANDER by intimating that Newton has only
served the State three terms, but give that as
the number from returns now IN. he was
sente, eed from this county October 3, 1868,
by Judge Clark, for one year, under the
name Of Hiram Manning, alias Newton
In January, 1870. he was sentenced TO
term of three years from San Francisco,
under the name OF Isaac P. Newton, for
crime committed in December, 1869. He was
again sentenced from San Francisco IN May,
1875 under the name Of Oliver Perry, for in
discrations committed in April of that year,
and his time was given five years, making a
total of nine years under the three terms.
The alacrity with which he waived examina-
ton when before the Police Court recently,
and the knowledge he exhibited Of preparing
for his defense, indicated the former expert
enca which it is now shown he has had IN de-
Tending against criminal prosecutions. In

Newton is evidently an adept in other direc-
lions. Immediately prior to bis arrest for
taking StaAley's horse and buggy, ne had
been 70 San Francisco and made contract
for the sale of several thousand bushels OF
wheat which he represented he had tor sale
from this seasons crop, and upon the contract
received 500. A letter Of recent date, from
the San Francisco wheat dealer, found among
NeWtons papers when arrested, Is interesting,
az showing the confidence which was given to
Newtons representations, aud Is as follows :
"Maior Newton have decided that it
would be better for you to ship one car load
of wheat direct To me at San Francisco.
Then [ can decide what is best for your in
terests to do with the balance. L wish you
woull attend to this Immediately on your re-
turn. Yours, ETC." Newton also had IL his
valise blank notes and other papers, giving an
air Of assurance to his business representa-
be numbered among the solid men OF his part
of the State.
