| IeFUOON- JODu OlTlcUS, WHO was arrested
| for picking the pocket of Mrs. Friedman of
! San Francisco few evenings since at the
| Oakland pier, attempted to secure his re.
lease from custody by the habeas corpus
route through the assistance of San Fran
cisco lawyer. No complaint had been
| filed against him, and it was alleged
that he was Illegally restrained of his
| liberty and no charge against him. This was
| true, as he was only on the "small book"
| The return of Chief Of Police Tompklns
| to the writ did not show sufficient cause
to hold him, and Judge Ellsworth ordered
| the prisoners discharge. As soon as the
| decision was announced Ulriehs started ON
| the run for the door and by the officers. but
when within two PAGES he slipped on the
| oilcloth and fell fat Captain Wilson and
| Chief Tompkins with Deputy Sheriff KEEL
| logg were upon him in a second and seized
him. This was inside the courtroom door,
| and the lawyer protested against the out
| rage perpetrated in the very presence of the
| court, and asked the protection and severe
| Judgment of the court upon the officers for
| contempt committed in his presence. Judge
| Ellsworth commenced in severe terms, stat
| ing that by the judgment of the court the
| petitioner has been discharged from GUS
| tody and was entitled to go free that he
must not be interfeIed with no one had a
| right to modest or arrest him again except
upon a warrant. Captain Wilson announced
| that he had warrant for the mans arrest
! and Immediately produced it, laying his
hand on the prisoner and telling him that he
was under arrest Ulriehs' attorney sub
| sided and allowed the officers to take him,
| going to the City Prison with him. Ii is the
| expressed intention of his lawyer to sue out
| to IF haas haf of
! the Justices of the Supreme Court. The As
| sistant District Attorney says he never made
out complaint and warrant so rapidly
before during his term OF office, having only
| seven minutes after the Deputy Sheriff,
| Kellogg, arrived at the office. Mr.. and Mrs.
| Friedman, whose money was taken, were on
| their way TO the interior, could not swear to
| the complaint, and, knowing this, the priS-
| oner was in hope of being free before their
| return, which will be on Thursday morning.
| He Is evidently a smooth article, and is
| probably one OF the band of Eastern crooks
| that seem TO have landed recently overland
| from Chicago and st. Paul.
