POOR PLANS.
Interest Taken I'm a Prisoner ~ RI.
EPfGmMa-

interest Taken I'm a Prisoner ~ HE
Friends.
Deputy Sheriff Dennis Kesrnev re-
turned from San Quentin yesterday. at
which place he left Harry williams. the
highway l'obber. who was sentenced by
Judge Mckinley for ten years on the 18th
instant. While on the Oakland ferry
boat en- route for the penitentiary.
Kearney's prisoner informed him of the
failure of well-plsnned scheme for his
release, which, fortunately for the officer,
miscarried. Williams stated that hissspals',
outside the jail conveyed information to
him that an attempt would be made to
effect his escape while he was being es-
corted from the courtroom to the iail.
A companion named Fairchild arranged
to meet the condemned felon and Deputy
Sheriff Pete Reel at the foot of the eteps
leading to the County Jail. As the two
men came up he was to step in between
them, as if unaware that they were
officer and prisoner, and blow from
sandbag was to be given to Reel in order
to ensure his silence until the two
friends made their escape. This scheme
was frustrated owing to the preaence of
number OF people on New High street,
Fairchild preferring not to take the risk.
Another plan was formed, and this time
pal" of Williams, who had once
been in Q similar position, undertook to
liberate his friend. 1t was arranged that
the next attempt should be made upon
the train which carried Williams north.
On Wednesday last Kearney and his
charge were seated in the smoking car of
the 1920 p. m. train for San Francisco.
when they were joined at San Fernando
by Williams "pal," who sat immedi.
ately behind them. The latter soon en-
gagged in conversation with Kear-
ney, and it was not long be-
fore he discovered that Williams
legs were shackled, although his hands
were free, and this caused temporary
suspension of the execution of the
scheme, as the ex-convict had not
brought file. Had Williams not been
| shackled, Kearney would have been
struck from behind while the train was
in the Newhall tunnel, and the
scoundrels would in all probability have
got away. AS it was the ex.convict got
off at Tehachepi to obtain q file so as to
free his friends limbs; and in the mean
time two friends of Kearney boarded the
train and took the very seat vacated by
Williams friend. When the latter
returned, he found that he would be un.
able to get near Williams again and he
| left the train at the next stopping place.

RICHEMONT ACQUITTED.
A Young Man Pulled Out of q Dan
gerOus Hole.

"A xONnS MAn fuIIe0 out Oh q pan.
ger0us Hole.
The newspapers have published pretty
full accounts of tragedy which created
sensation at San Pedro one day last
July, in which Louis kichemont stabbed
to the heart and instantly killed Martin
Winter. The case was concluded yester-
day, and at half-past Was given to the
jury. The Messrs. Shinn & Ling con.
Quoted the defense, and Mr.. Hardesty
appeared for the State. At all times
since the fatal ARRAY the feeling has
been quite general that the man
at the bar was in great danger
Of his liberty if not of his life. Some oi
the papers published accounts of the
killing, and made comments thereon
that made things look very dark for RICHIE
mont. The testimony put before the jury
by the prosecution was very strong in
many particulars, and the attorneys
about the court, and the newspaper men,
who by long experience get to be very
shrewd judges Of what verdicts will be-,
we're generally of the opinion that mat
ters might 60 hard with the accused. The
first change of sentiment IN this respect
was noticed yesterday afternoon, when
Mr.. Ling and later Mr.. Shinn made
their argument to the jury. The
way the case was presented by these
gentlemen made it look as if there might
bs some chance for at least divided
jury. 1t is doubtful if even the attorneys
themselves hoped for much. Indeed in
some parts of his presentation of the
case Mr.. Shinn took the precaution to
plead for no severe sentence, if his
client should seem guilty in the eyes of
the jury.
The jury stayed ou. from half past
five O'Clock until the clock was on the
stroke of twelve, and then announced
that they were ready to return a verdict.
This was more than was expected, and
looked as if q verdict Of manslaughter
might be Forthcoming. When
the jury was called, and the
much surprise ss he uttered the words,
"We, the jury, find the defendant
here came pause for moment, and
then as Mr.. DeTurk went on and read,
mot guilty" the negative was general
surprise. 1t leaked out afterwards that
the jury stood at first eight for acquittal
and four for conviction in some shape,
When the verdict was duly recorded, the
defendant was congratulated by some oi
his friends, who evidently had not ex'
pected so favorable turn of affairs.
The attorneys for the defense not only
managed the case skillfully during III
progress, and argued it with much force
and tact, but they never lost point. In
their instructions which they submitted
to the Court, they made the most of the
fact that Winters had gone to the home

Preparations for the East
Side Celebration.
THE RICHEMONT MURDER TRIAL
The Jury Returns a Verdict of No
Guilty at Midnight-LOcal
Events,

A meeting was held yesterday evening
at Odd Fellows Hall, on the East Side,
of the residents of that section who are
interested in celebrating, in betting
manner, the completion of the cable
system.
The Committee on Finance reported
$40 pledged and $40 paid in. The
making Of the general programme was
left to the Literary Committee.
The Committee on Music announced
that it had two choruses in course of prep.
aration, and had conditionally hired the
Seventh Regiment Band, which did
such excellent service at the County
Fair. The probable cost of speakers
stand was reported at $55.
Mr.. Hartup, an Englishman with his
first papers, who was in his boyhood q
school-fellow of Superintendent Robin
son, OF the cable road, made a modest
little speech, saying how much he loved
this country, and that he wanted to do
his full part as q citizen, and offered to
build an arch of triumph at the east end
OF the Downey-avenue bridge, if tho la
dies would decorate it. The offer was
accepted with alacrity, and the gentle
man was added to the Committee on
Decoration.
The Committee on Decoration reported
that it had raked up quite plenty Of
decorative material, stringers, etc. 1t
would perhaps cost $40 to put the stuff
up and remove it.
1t was voted that 500 be offered as
prizes-$10 for the best decorated grip
and car and $40 for the best decorated
residence CT business house on the East
Side.
1t was decided that adjournment
should be had to Monday evening, at s p.
m, at Mr.. Hanley's building, 621 Downey
avenue, when the money is to be ap-
portioned between the various COM
mittees.
The nature of supplies was left entirely
to the Supply Committee. VIM. Hughes
was added to the Finance Committee,
and the following ladies to the. Supply
Committee:
Mrs. Dave Martin, Mrs. Herniton,
Mrs: Cook, Mrs. s. D. Spear, Mrs.
Neidt, Mrs. Geric, Mrs. McKeag, Mrs.

Wright, Mrs. ]. Adams, Mrs. w. Dock
stadter, Miss Herrinton.
The Secretary was instructed to ask
each pastor to announce the cable car
celebration to the people of his church.
and request their hearty cooperation.
Rev. Mr.. Tinker made the motion, and
said he should 80 announce the celebra-
tion.
1t was decided that general invitation
to the people Of other parts of the city to
participate should be published in the
daily papers, With the signatures of the
President and Secretary appended. 1t
was decided somewhat informally not to-
have society parade, but reception
at the end of the line to the first cable car
over it by the school children.

s'LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROYv
Will be Presented at the Grand
Next Week.

Next Week.
Tomorrow evening at the Grand comes
an important engagement in the shape of
Mrs. Hodgson Burnett's idyl, Little Lord
Fauntleroy. The success of this play is,
to say the least, something remarkable.
Shortly it will be running simultaneously
in London, New York and Australia. In
London it has had run of over two
years, and is still drawing crowds. The
company who play it have been
specially selected for the present tour.
The Little Lord" will be played by
Wallie Eddinger and Flossie Ethyl, the
same children that created such stir here
last spring. Much praise has been
bestowed by critics East and West on both
the young aspirants. The Philadelphia
Times has this to say of little Wallie Ed
dinger: II wish you could see him! He
is only 7, but the smartest child of that
age / know. Fancy his capacity when
tell you that in three days the little
chap learned this whole long part, over
which Tommy and Elsie, of New York
fame, struggled many weeks. In his
way the boy is character. He has a
supreme contempt for bad work, ex-
pressing himself freely on this, as on
many other subjects. His father cor
rected Wallie at rehearsal for the
manner in which he was going through
the first act of Little Lord Fauntleroy.
The boy listened, but with q covert
protest about the corners of his mobile
little mouth. Evidently he meant to
bide his time and get even with his
would-be instructor. At last the moment
came. In the scene between Higgins,
the tenant, played by Eddinger the elder,
and the young lord, Wallie waited, vis-
IDLY impatient, until his father should
finish his long speech expressive of graft
tude, then standing with his legs strad-
died and gazing scornfully at Higgins, he
cried out: "Great heavens dad, is that
the way you mean to give those lines ?"
The engagement is for six nights, and
matinees will be given on Wednesday
and Saturday. Seats are now selling
very rapidly.

OF Richemont and entered it with hostile
feelings and intent. They claimed the
right OF man to defend his home to any
extent without limitation. This part Of
the instructions had great weight with
the jury.
There can be no denying the fact that
Hichemont's position was very grave
one, and that had his case been badly
handled he would not easily have gone
forth free man. Whether he is guilty
or innocent in fact, he owes his release
to the able and skillful manner in which
MS case was handled. He certainly is
indebted to his lawyers as much as he
would be to him who should save his

A Gas Explosion.

One of the plumbers at work in the
second story of the Panorama building,
on Main street, yesterday morning, acci-
dentally struck gas pipe with the inn
plement he was using in such way as
to tear it open. He was working in q
dark corner, and had candle to afford
him light. The escaping gas was ignited
BY this, and the result was an explosion.
The mans arms were slightly burned
and the woodwork caught fire. An
alarm was instantly turned in and the
fire department responded promptly.
