SENTENCE DAY.
A. J. Beck Will Spend His Vacation at
San Quentin.
George Roberts Gets Off Luckf1y-Ah
Charley Goes to Folsom for
Three Years.

Yesterday was sentence day in Judge
Van Fleets court.
Five convicted criminals were brought
in by Deputy Sheriff7s Fay and Newbert,
to be prescribed for. A. J. Beck, the
swell young chap who was going into
business with W. I. Orth, but who
spoiled the scheme by robbing Orth of
several hundred dollars worth of laces,
hosiery, gloves, and the like, was the
first one ordered TO stand up. He looked
detected and generally dilapated-any-
thing but the dashing individual who
attended swell germans and tea parties
up to within few hours before his arrest.
Judge Van Fleet, in passing sentence,
took occasion TO give the prisoner bit of
lecture. 81 have no doubt of your
guilt" said he, ''and agree fully with the
verdict of the jury. The jury, however,
recommended you to the mercy of the
court. 1t is certainly too bad that a man
OF your ability and education should
allow himself to get into the position in
which you now are. Aside from the
criminality of your offenSe, there enters
the element of ingratitude, as you robbed
the man who employed you, and with
whom, as you pretended, you proposed
70 6uGer InlO partnership. Inc Judgment
OF the court is that you be confined in the
State Prison at San Quentin for period
of two years.
J.Williams and Frank Miller, the tough
looking individuals who were convicted
Thursday evening of grand larceny-in
having robbed man named Gleason of a
watch on the river front, were attended
to next. The Judge read the ''riot act''
to them, as is his custom, and then passed
sentence. He sent Williams to San
Quentin for eighteen months and Miller
to Folsom for the same period of time.
All Charley, the Chinese domestic who
scampered off with a quantity of jewelry
which he had taken from Colonel J. 3.
Wr1ght's residence, was sentenced to
three years Imprisonment at Folsom.
He had pleaded guilty to the charge of
burglary preferred against him.
George Roberts, the fery-tempered in
dividual who battered a Chinese ferry
man nearly to death with rock at Fol-
som because the heather had the audacity
to ask for pay for ferrying Roberts across
the American, was let off with thirty
days in the County Jail. 1t was shown
that Roberts was hard working fellow
and had never been in trouble before. He
had already been in Jail two months, and
District Attorney Ryan asked the court
to be lenient.
The sentence of "Limber'' Green, the
convicted witness briber, will take place
tuesday next, unless a new trial is
granted, which his attorneys intend to
apply for.

FRIGHTENED WITNESSES.
Slow Progress of the Examination of
the Highbinders.
Witnesses Who Appear to be Afraid to
Tell What They Know of
the Shooting.

The preliminary examination of Chin
Hing and Hoey Yin Sing, for the muir
der of Lee Gong, was resumed before
Judge Cravens in the Police Court yes
terday.
Lee Sam, the only person beside Lee
Gong's wife, who was in the store at the
time Lee Gong was shot. and who COM
menced testifying on Thursday, con-
Guided his evidence yesterday. He reit-
Grated the testimony of All Wah, the
murdered merchants wife, and stated
that he saw the accused in the store and
saw them as they ran away after firing
the shot. He rushed out with revolver
and fired, but says he shot at random
and in the air.
Several other Cinnamon. were exam
ined and they all were very conservative
and would not say word more than
compelled to IN answer to questions that
had to be frequently repeated.
The defense tried to establish that Lee
Sam, who is member of the Chez Kong
Tong Company, was one of a number
imported here from San Francisco to fight
the Bing Kong longs. His arms were
found to be tattooed with figures of a
woman and flag on one, and on the
otner some KNIVES ana other sketches in
India ink. This, the Chinaman said, was
done by an American in the City Jail in
San Francisco.
After Lee Sam, Coroner George 81.
Clark testified as to the evidence at the
inquest and the circumstances of Chin
Hing having been readily identified by
Lee Gong's wife as the murderer of her
husband.
The taking Of the testimony was very
slow, as General Hart, for the defense,
contested every step taken by the prose-
cution to which an objection could be
made.
zee Jung testified that he pointed out
Chin Hing to Special officer Robert
Goods, who made the arrest of that Chi
naman on the night of the riot.
1t is doubtful whether the examination
will be concluded to-day, as it is very diff
ficult to get any satisfactory evidence
from the reluctant and intimidated wit
nesses.

which he dropped his neck-tie on the
floor, from which it was picked up by
someone and placed on the bar. When
Stolz had achieved victory in the battle
he found his scarf-pin missing from the
tie, and shortly after one of the CASA
way brothers, both of whom were pres
ent during the scuffie, proposed to find it
for consideration of 81 so, and did so in
remarkably short space of time after he
was offered the money.
StolZ testified that he saw one of the
Gassaways hand the pin to the other be-
fore they had left the room.
The Gassaways pretended to be detect
ives IN the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co.
Both of the men made long and some
what irrelevant statements about the
transaction, in which they introduced an
ex-convict as the man from whom they
claimed they recovered the pin.
The Judge, however. after weighing
the testimony, found them guilty Of theft
and viii impose his sentence on Monday.

THEY WE'RE REVENGED.
A Long Standing Debt Paid-EX-Tru

A Long Standing Debt Paid-EX-Trus-
tee Wolf the Victim.
Once upon time ex-City Trustee Wolf
perpetrated a villainous practical Joke
upon Frank Bergman and Charles
Schwilke, two Of Sacramento's most in
nocent and confding young men. His
tory reports it that they were out duck
shooting, and the two young men referred
to, in their innocence, shot Sally Nc
Gamblers instead of the toothsome canvas
back. Wolf persuaded them that they
outclassed all other hunters and that they
had birds that were rare, indeed. He
offered them $40 piece for their prizes
but they wouldn't sell. But when tlfey
took the feathery frauds home and tried
to eat them there was blood on the face of
the moon.
Time rolled on, but the two young
men never forgot the shameful treatment
they had received. They longed for re-
venge.
An opportunity presented itself day
or two ago, and they jumped at it. Wolf,
it appears, had wagered with an acquaint-
ance that Blaine would not be nominated,
and of course won. Three elegant havanas
were at stake-three for q dollah, YOU
know. The loser left a dollar at Berg
mans stand and Wolf was told to call and
get the smokers. Here was where
Schwilke and Bergman got in their work
They held council of war, and then adj
journed to Chinatown, where they pur-
chased three of the toughest cigars that
were to be found. Not satisfied with this.
they doctored the cigars with rubber and
other materials calculated to unease the
stomach. Gaudy gilded bands We're
placed around the punks, and when Wolf
called they were passed over to him.
Is revenge sweet? Well, when the ex-
Trustee came up to the cigar store that
night armed with two shotguns and a
bowie knife looking for the avengers, one
would have thought SO, had he seen the
reception Wolf was given by the Sally Nc
Gander hunters and their friends. Wolf
has not gone to the springs yet, but he
keeps off the main streets.

The Way Tannert and Schuman Got
Into Court.
G. Schuman has had wofll experi-
ence, which eliminated in the Police
Court yesterday in the loss of his suit
against one Robert Tannert for battery.
Tannert and Schuman were the only
witnesses in the case, and neither of them
were especially clear-headed or expert in
the use of expressive English.
AS near as could be ascertained. with
plicitly than words. 1t seems Tannert

outside his shoulders" at O'clock i'm the

lowing business.
He said: I hurt somepody py my

Attorney.
Il nocket i'm Ply der bet. Dere not vas

Schuman's story differed somewhat.
He stated that he was outside on the
walk, in the dark, and Tannert, who is of
sturdy proportions and built like prize
fighter, came out and jumped on him
and struck him number of times, in
the darkness.
When they went to light, however,
Tannert said: Hello! Ply himel! vas
idt you, Shohn? / not know idt vas
your and when Tannert found out for
sure that 1t was him he jumped on him
again and punched him harder, and
threatened to kill him.
Schuman's face had been badly bruised,
and Tannert had evidently put in some
heavy blows.
The court, however, found Tannert not
guilty, saying there seemed to be some
thing back of the facts testified to. And so
Schuman went his way lamenting, while
Tannertis still In position to ''perdect''

He Followed Boys Who Chased Street
Cars, and Was Shot.
n. Brunsel was tried in the Police
Court yesterday for cruelty to animals in
having shot a shepherd dog belonging to
John Steen. 1t was shown by the evil
dence that two of Stems boys were chas-
ing the electric cars, and the dog was
playing with them.
Brunsel, a motor-man on the cars, was
annoyed and while endeavoring to keep
the boys off, he testified that they set the
dog upon him.
The dog followed after the car and
caught, or tried to catch, Brunsel by the
foot, whereupon he drew his pistol and
shot the animal through what one of the
boys designated as his backlog"
1t appeared by the evidence that the
dog was small, intelligent and harmless
animal, and that the shot was fired UNI
necessarily, but the court-evidently
with Northumberland Brunsel not
guilty. The Judge stated that the trouble
was the result of boys chasing the cleo
trio cars, and that it was natural for the
dog to follow after them.
