The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-09-12

sign of friendship 10 Messrs. AlbeETson end
Bailey. The bond is gilt-edged, for the names
on il represent at least Sl.009@. and the justice
remarked that il was tie best ever given IN MS
court In withdrawing NJ. AlDertson shook
hands cordially with Justice sharp and Clerk
Leslie.
Justice Sharp denies that there is any defect
in the warrant which Evans served on Albert
son in Seattle, and maintains the rish: OF
deputy sheriff from one county TO serve warrants
and make arrests In another county, while not
approving of the violence used toward Mr.
Aibeitson.
Mr.. AIbertson subsequently stated that there
is positively no foundation for the charge, and
was very emphatic in tie declaration that he
did not propose 10 let this outrage perpetrsted
by sullivan go unpublished. since the bank
robbery he SAYS sullivan has had his men
EhaGowing him, and that Sullivan himself had
buIldozed and browbesten him in the eadeavor
to accomplish the impossible. Even though he
did not know anything about where Albertson,
the enbeZZIer, is, or " hat he did with the money
and securities t. ken from the bank, Mr. Abortion
says Sullivan nevertheless uagged at him for
snch information. he asserted that every man
connected with the affair would be prosecuted.
AS to r. L. Wallace, president of the Fidelity
Trust Company bank, Mr.. Albcrtson SAYS he will
be attended TO later. Monday, he SAYS Wallace
teegraphed him 70 come TO this city He an
swered that lie could b. seen at his Office in
posed the plan was hit upon TO bring Mr. AIo.rt-
son into Pierce county in Il closed carriage and
arrest him in that manner.
As stated in the PosT-lNTKLLI6ENcEs this
morning, Mr.. Wallace Claims that the bank has
sufficient evidence against r. r. Alber,son to
warrant the charge cited IN the complaint. He
has been advised by his lawyer that IL was not
necessary 10 have the warrant countersigned BY
a King county officer to render service in that
county legal. Assistant Prosecuting ATTORNEY
Ciaypool drew the warrant upon evidences laid
before him by NJ. Wallace. MT. Wallaces at
fentlon was called to the discrepancy between
his statement in the information that the stolen
. property consisted of valuable notes and securi-
ties, and his statement in an interview that no
securities had been stolen. He denied that
either was incorrect, but declined TO attempt TO
explain the contradiction
Prosecuting Attorney smell says that the ne
cesslty OF countersigning warrants in one
county before they can be served in another
would defeat tie ends OF justice, As a criminal
could fee from one county 70 another and thus
prevent arrest. He advised sheriff Price, of this
county, that IL was not necessary 10 have the
warrant Endorsed by King county peace officer.
Sheriff Price claims that King county officers
are IN the habit of serving King county war
rants in this county without interruption or
bindrance
In commenting upon the facts upon which
the warrant for K. p. Aibcrtson's apprehension
was issued, Prosecuting Attorney smell says the
evidence Is quite Sufficient, and that at the trial
Mr.. Aloertson may be placed in a light that viii
not be enyiable TO himself, his friends or his
profession.
1t may seem preposterous. but there are those
In this city who are openly talking about lynch
Ing sullivan. A man called at the Tacoma bu-
reau OF the observation-disclosures this afternoon
and said he would be one OF party 10 lynch
him. 1t Is also said Sullivan is fearful of being
aSsassinated, and keeps bodyguard with him
continually.
There are many theories afioat here as to why
the bank people wished 10 arrest Mr.. Albert
son, OF seattle. OF course the majority incline
to the opinion that Sullivan was simply con-
tinuing his tactics OF attempting TO iDt.midate
him into telling what Il was supposed he knew.
Others, however, refer 10 an alleged visit made
by Chandler, one Of the robbers &C
complies, TO Mr. Albertsons office at
Seattle, and state that he carried to him
letter from AibertsoD, the embezzler, which he
asked him to take to the embezzler's wife 1T
Tacoma Mr.. bertsOn, il is said, refused 10
receive the letter or have anything to 90 with
IL. He, however, is credited with giving
To Chandler a postage stamp and an en-
velope, telling him 10 mail the letter if
he desired. subsequently Mr. Albertson
came To the city aud talked over the
situation with Mr. Wallace. Ii is thought by
some tina: the letter which Chandler brought to
Mr.. Albertson may have fallen into the hands of
Suliivans men, and that its contents connected
him with the case
CohOon, brotner-in-law of the embezzler said
today that he had not given any information
that would connect K. Il. Albertson in the case.
He Is OF the opinion that the Albertson cousins
were not on very friendly terms.
