On Saturday night Secretary Gilson Of the
JudsOn Iron Works called on Captain Lees
and was shown the album containing the
photographs of all the notorious criminals
that have been captured on the coast for
score and more Of years. He selected from
the mass Of photographs one which he said
he not only thought was picture Of one Of
the robbers, but that The man was at one
time an employe at the works.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Lees and
Chief Crowley visited Chief Tompkins at
Oakland, and took with them the album
containing the photograph Of the man that
Secretary ellison identified as one OF the
robbers. This albup was shown to Henry
M0rtenson, who was with Secretary ellison
when the robbery occurred, and he was
asked to look through 1t and see II he could
find photograph Tesem bling either OF the
robbers. Mortenson had no knowledge Of
GilsOn's having selected q photograph, yet
in looking through the album ne selected
the same picture that the secretary had the
night before.
The photograph was that of Frank
Queen, and an examination of the books at
the JudsOn Iron Works shows that Queen
was at one time an emplOye Of the concern.

scribed ia the above circular, the descrip-
ton given dtting him exactly.

and his first Offense against the law which
is recorded was committed in 1865. On
October a Of that year he was sent to the
State prison al Joliet, H., for a term Of
i've aud half years Tor burglary committed
in Chicago. He was committed under tile
name of James Adams.
In 1874 he was returned to Joliet to serve
two years for grand larceny. Queen was
first heard Of in this city in December, 1880,
when he was arrested upon charge OF
grand larceny. He was convicted and sem
fenced TO serve two years IN San Quentin.
While there he was known as convict 9l54.
In the latter part of 1882 he was discharged
and disappeared from the surveillance OF
the police. That lie had not reformed was
evident when he again made himself con-
BpieuCus as a thief In 1891 He had changed
his line Of work only and developed
into cunning aud dangerous pick
pocket On March II. 1891, he visited
WOodward's Gardens while a celebration
