John Ulrich's San Francisco attorney
thought yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock
that he had his young client safely out of
the clutches of the law on the charge of
grand larceny for the alleged picking of the
pockets of Mrs. Friedman at the Oakland
pier on Saturday evening. Ulrich's case
was at the foot of the calendar in the Police
Court. and when the complaint was read,
with an affidavit of the complainant made
on information and BELIEF that Urich is
the person accused by Mrs. Friedman, conn
sci for the prisoner moved for the discharge
of his client on the ground that the papers
did not state facts sufficient to constitute a
criminal Offense. Judge Henshaw sus-
tanned the motion and ordered the de-
PENDANT discharged. The attorney con-
cluded there would be no repetition of Tues
day afternoons episode, and taking the young
fellow by the arm marched out of the
courtroom with him. When nearly at the
entrance of the City Hall Captain Wilson
and two or three other officers were ready
ana again arrested him and took him below.
The counsel went back into the court and
endeavored to have the officers punished for
contempt, but was informed that the Court
did not see that any contempt had been
committed. The prisoner had been dis
charged and is out of the jurisdiction until
brought before the court again. He did not
know why he had been arrested, but the
officers might have another charge against
him. The attorney left Immediately for San
Francisco, saying he would have Ulrich
across the bay on habeas corpus. and that
when there discharged be would not be
again rearrested. Up to last night the new
writ had not been served. a new complaint
and warrant were made out yesterday after
noon in anticipation, and Ulrich would have
been rearr ested if he had been discharged.
Mrs. Friedman Will swear TO a complaint
this morning. Ulrichs pal, who escaped
from the officers on the Oakland mole, is
supposed to be assisting him to come out of
Jail.
