HARPER'S HABEAS CORPUS.

Judge Murphy Hears the Facts and
Takes the Case Under Amusement.
When the habeas corpus case of Park
Policeman Samuel Harper was called by
Judge Murphy yesterday W. w. Foote APP
peared and stated that it was a mistake
about his having withdrawn from the prose-
cution. As to Harper's application for bail
lie said the presumption OF self-defense was
not great and he did not think the accused
should be released. He added that the
moment he was convinced that Harper had
not committed crime he would willingly
say so In court
George A. Knight, WHO Is defending Har-
per, related the facts of the shooting and
thought everything tended to show the total
absence OF criminality. He hoped the fact
that Harper is stranger would not pre-
judice the court.
FOote intimated, however, that such fact
was very good reason for keeping watch
full eye on the man. lie might take notion

A SAILORS WOE.
H Declares That Prison Life Can Be No
Harder Than Ship Life.


Harder Than Ship Life.
A curious incident has just come to light
In connection with the cnse OF William
Guthbert, who Is at present a prisoner in
the Alameda County Jail, charged with
assault to murder.
Guthbert was sailor on the ship Fasca-
dale. While engaged unloading at Long
Wharf he imbibed rather too freely Of
liquor and got into a row with a saloon
keeper over a liquor debt of 80 cents. 1t
ended in the discharge Of pistol. which
Guthbert declares was purely accidental,
and he was speedily hustled off to Jail.
After Guthbert was locked up the mate Of
the vessel overhauled bis chest, and found
among other things naturalization papers
issued by Department of the Superior
Court of San Francisco to John Williams,
dated February Y. 1892.
Suspicion was at once aroused that here
was another crime against the accused. for
Guthbert shipped On that vessel IN Liver
pool six months before, and was known TO
have been under British dominion for sew
eTal years previous
A CALL reporter interviewed him in the
Alameda County Jail yesterday. He ad-
mitted having taken out final papers under
the name of John Williams, and declared
his true name to be William Guthbert
When asked how he came to do such a
mantle career. Guthbert is his true name,
and his native place is Dundee. Scotland.
In 1853 be had trouble with his parents and
ran away to sea. For seven years he f10ated
over the face Of the earth till he landed In
Boston in 1865 On the City of Sydney. His
treatment had been so rough on this ship
that he determined to leave her, and though
closely watched made his escape amid the
darkness of a stormy night. Ee left imme-
dialely for San Francisco, having assumed
tie name of John Williams, and remained
here till 1881, known only by that name,
and shipping from time to time in coast
waters only.
In 1881 a great longing prevailed upon
him to return to his native heath. To his
great delight he found his aged parents still
alive. they having long since mourned him as
dead.
He had been away from them nearly n
quarter of century. Resuming his right
name, he remained with them most of the
time till about year ago, shipping on short
voyages as he had done here. Finally they
died. and he decided to return to San Fran
cisco, where he had previously spent sixteen
naturalization, which he had commenced SO
many years ago. and be did it as soon as he
"sfruck " the town.
Il used the name of John Williams"
said he, because my first Tapers were in
that name, and that was the only name was
known by. / didn't think there was any
thing wrong about it,"
Guthbert is now quite well along in years,
and appears to have lost all courage. He
stoutly affirms his innocence of the crime
charged against him, but has decided to
plead guilty and accept his fate, anxious to
have the worry over with. He says be don't
believe prison life can be much worse than
the sailors life. He sent for the District
Attorney Of Alameda County yesterday
morning for that purpose.

The Commissioners Anxious to Know

The Post-street Extension Commissioners
were before the Street Committee of the
Board OF Supervisors yesterday to ascertain
their standing. They did not understand
whether the boards recent action in reject
ing their report meant that they were to go
ahead and prepare new report or an
abandonment of the whole scheme.
The committee inclined to the latter be-
lief, but consented to act upon the advice of
the City and County Attorney. to whom the
matter was referred.
Upward Of a dozen bids for street paving
with bituminous rock were rejected, the
committee suspecting there was a lob In
them. The ground Of the suspicion was the
fact that there were bnt two on each pro-
posed piece OF work, and they never varied
but about a quarter Of a cent. Besides.
they were all about 2 cents foot higher
than they should be. 1t looked very much
