THE JACOBSON MURDER.
BURGLAR SMITH EXPLODEs A BIG
I. BOMB.
He Retracts the Testimony on Which Sid
ney Bell Was Convicted of the Crime.
Sensational Charges Made Against the
District Attorney and Others.

SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 24.-On the night
of August 10, 1890, Samuel Jacobson, a
trunk manufacturer, was shot and killed
at the door of his residence by unknown
persons. subsequently Sidney Bell and
Edward Campbell were arrested for the
crime. and on May 18th last Bell was
convicted OF murder in the first degree.
Campbell and one Charles Schmidt,
who had been arrested for burglary,
were the chief witnesses against him.
Schmidt alleged that while confined in
the county Jail, Bell had confessed the
murder to him. Schmidt was arraigned
in the superior court today on two
charges Of burglary, and District Attor-
ney Barnes read two lengthy COM
munications from Schmidt, writ
ten in the county jail, wherein
the latter charges that he was
told by Campbell, who was arrested
with Sydney Bell on suspicion OF being
son, that the police had said the only
to join with Campbell in trying to con-
flCb lOCll VI b1lC CllllCs OCnlllIQb dllOBCS
that Campbells wife boasted OF her in
huence over Judge Murphy, District At
torney Barnes and the police officials.
Schmidt says he pleaded guilty to two
charges of burglary for reasons best
known to the district attorney, but that
he is innocent. He further charges the
district attorney with prompting him to
make statement in which he declared
Bell had confessed he was guilty
of the murder, and that the dis
trict attorney promised him his
release therefor. Schmidt states that he
has good reason to believe Bell not
guilty of the crime OF murder of which
he was convicted, and is to hang.
District Attorney Barnes denounced
Schmidt's statements as false, and as
part OF conspiracy to save Bells life.
He asked leave to file the communica-
tions as part OF the courts records, but
Judge Trout denied the motion, holding
that the letters were scurrilous and ir-
relevant. Schmidt pleaded not guilty to,
the charge of burglary, and the case
went over for a week.
