HOPE HELD,
For Attempting to Burg rize a
San Francisco Bank.

The trial of Jimmy Hope, the notorious
tank robber, was ended at San Francisco
IN Saturday last, by his conviction of al
tempted burglary in the first degree. The
case has attracted much attention through
out the country by reason of the promi-
nence of the prisoner, he being the leader
e. one Of the worst gangs Of bank burglars
In the United States, and the peculiar
methods pursued by his counsel Bv
means oi technicalitics the case has been
spun out to a great length Witnesses
have beer badgered and juries so befogged
that il is a matter of wonder that they sue
coeded in bringing in an Ineligible ver-
dict. To illegal minds the case was very
simple. Hope was caught, By detectives,
attempting to1dig his way into the vault
of Sather 4 Co.'S bank. in this city, an old
and conservative institution, which had
many millions on deposit for wealthy men
The building was surrounded bv the de-
rectives. who surprised the burglars too
soon. One of them escaped over the roofs
of the adjoining houses. while Hope
was caught in the water closet, to
which he declared he had resort
ed to for natural purposes A fine burg
lars outfit was found near al had. and evil

usual he was faultlesslv dressed and wore
no jewelry except a costly gold pin in his
cravat. The jury returned :. verdict OF
burglary in the first degree. an.: under the
California law this will entitle him To sev-

They were then emp,i, d on the floor, with
the understanding that a majority of pie

dependent cars, and vice versa. Then the
triumvirate of managers gotdown on their

former and only two OF the latter had
turned face up, and the little matter OF
spending 100000 for rolling stock was
