Grand Larceny Ease Appealed to the WASH
ington Supreme Court
SEATTLE, Dec. 31.-Charles r. Ham
mond, of Cleveland-street, London notorietv.
was sentenced in the Superior Court to-day
to two years in Walla Walla penitentiary
for grand larceny. Hammend went to
New York when forced to flee from En-.
gland after the Pail Mall Gazette exposed
practices by English noblemen at his
Cleveland street house. He came to Seattle
two years ago and opened the Haymarket
saloon. Alexander Todhunter came here
last spring, eOurted Hammond's society and
became intimate with him. Then, it is
said, he tried to persuade Hammond to ac-
company him to Victoria. Hammond re-
fused to go ON British soil, fearing arrest.
Todhunter kept the bar at the HaymarEet
saloon and it Is claimed worked up the Case
charging Hamm ond with stealing seal
skin sach and gold watch from a woman
who was drinking wine with him at the
Haymarket in September. Hammond was
tried and convicted about two weeks ago.
1t is claimed that TOdhunter is an English
detective trying TO get Hammond into the
penitentiary at the instance of wealthy
Englishmen who patronzed Hammond's
Cleveland-street house and are tired of pay
ing hush money. Hammond says he is the
victim OF conspiracy and Iodhunter has
been paid to get him out of the way. The
case has been appealed to the Supreme
Court.

Boston, Dec. Sit was just learned to-

old colonial clause is inserted that no citizen
can hold the office of Governor unless pos

ago placed his property in his wife's hands.
and it was on October 18th, only a few days
previous 10 the election, that in casual
conversation his attention was attracted tO

Mrs. Russell hurriedly redeeded back the
property, but it was only forty-eight hours
before the election that the transfer was
