NEwToN's OPERATIONS. = Sufficient has
now transpired to give quite business air to
the man Newton, who was recently exam
ined in the Police Court and held TO answer
for grand larceny for his operations in this
city. He seems to have a name for every
location where he operates He now claims
his real name as J. r. Newton, while the
Chief If Police at San Francisco says his right
name Is Isaac P. Newton, at least that is the
name he is generally sent to State Prison
with down there. He has for alias also
Oliver Perry and Hiram Manning. His
movements in relation to the horse
and buggy which he hired at Stanlsy's
stable in this city and forgot to bring back,
have been followed up and run in this wise
Instead of going TO Amador, as he stated
when he procured the drive. he went to Au-
burn, where he traded off the buggy (which
was worth at least 5000 for blackboard
worth about $40, and S25 cash as the differ.
ence He then came to Newcastle and sold
the horse, harness and blackboard to Mr..
Page, the hotel keeper there, for SIS. The
horse alone was worth 800. He then came
back to this city to send the woman back to
the bay, whom he had induced to go
to the mountains with him. upon pretenss
that he had large ranch and wanted her to
housekeep for him. He took her trunk from
a hotel here for the purpose OF getting it
checked to San Francisco, but instead of
doing so sold it, with contents, for 81 30, and
was about to leave with the proceeds when
the Tilted woman had him arrested for en-
bezzlement. Since his arrest Newton has
felgned sort of craze and studied bewilder-
ment. Whenever asked a question he stops
and rubs his forehead and then in
a hesitating manner gives an inten-
tionally uncertain answer Soon after
his arrest Mr.. Stanley found that the horse
had been sold at Newcastle, and upon going
there procured his property from Mr.. Page,
but could not ascertain where Newton had
disposed of the buggy. He telegraphed to
Chief Karcher to have him find out if he
could from Newton where the buggy could
be found The Chief went to Newton and
advised him to tell where it was saying that
it would not make his case any worse for him
to do so. Newton commenced to rub his
forehead, and in an apparent dazed study
after considerable working at his head, said
it seemed to him he had some recollection of
having been at Auburn, but couldn't
be at all certain. ''Oh," says the
Chief, impatiently, whats the use of your
fooling If you sold it at Auburn, say so"
Newton continued rubbing his ideas, and
finally the Chief asked, "WelI, if Stanley
should go to Auburn, do you think he would
be apt to find the buggy there?" Newton re-
piled, W ell, e.s, l thiuk possibly he
would Stanley was advised by the Chief
to go to Auburn. where he found the buggy.
which was just being sold to another party,
but, upon proof of property, it was delivered
t. him. When Newton was arrested he had

but, to save expense, he allowed
$50 of the amount to Page. and
turned out silver watch in his possession to
make up the balance of the S75 paid for the
horse, harness aud blackboard, and Newton
also paying his expenses back to Newcastle.
the matter between them was brought to n
| Police Court for his examination, he showed
| the utmost GOODNESS and acted as if from long
| experience in such position. He promptly
stated that he waived examination and would
make his defense in the Superior Court.
| Sufficient evidence only was taken to com.
ply with the law, and he was then bound over
to the Court in the sum of $1,000.
