him at home. About 10 O'Clock last night
another visit was made to 1927 Eighth
street. A ring at the door-bell brought two
of the daughters to the window over the
front door. They said their father was at
home and in bed asleep--had been in bed
since o'clock-but refused to awake him.
One of the ladies seemed disposed to do so,
but the other oYerruled her, and said she
should not do so; that he could be seen in
the morning. The other said he would go
to the city early, and finally refused to
awaken him.

Oakland and probably by this time not in
California, and the scheme Of the family Is
10 throw the officers off their guard until he
can get securely away. He was seen the
day the warrant was Issued on Seventh
street near his home waiting for a train. de
was shaved, his hair trimmed, held new
grip in his hand and had on new clothes and
new hat, Later the same day his wife. in
an interview said she had not seen him for
several days; did not know just where he
was.
On Saturday purported interview with
him was published in one San Francisco and
one Oakland paper from Elk Grove, and his
wife on the same day said he was On his
way home from Los Angeles. Saturday
night bis hOuse was deserted. Last night
his family said he was home, but refused to
allow him to be seen.
