NOT THE SAME MAN.
Mr.. Prunty's Burglar Cannot Be
Tom Mccall.
Because That Gentleman Is i'm the
Penitentiary and Out of
Harms Way.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23-Some nights ago the
house of an old man named Prunty, an
employe Of the city. was entered by
burglars, who killed him and wounded his
son and daughter. Three men were ar
rested for the crime. and their pictures
were published in one of the local papers.
A Californian who saw them recognized
one as the likeness of Tom Mccall. one of
the most desperate and clever criminals
who ever operated on the Pacific Coast.
He is well known TO the detectives of the
Southern Pacific and to members of the
Coast Secret Service Department of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s Express. Three years ago
he attempted 10 bunco Simon McClain Of
San Bernardino out of $1,000 on South
ern Pacific train going from Los Angeles
to San Francisco. On the train at the
time was Len Harris, chief of the Secret
Service Office Of the Southern Pacific, and
Captain Hume, man who for thirty years
has guarded the interests of Wells Fargo's
Express on the Pacific Coast
Mccall tried to get McClain to play
cards. Failing in this be tried to sell him
mining stock and finally bogus Govern
ment bonds. McClain is a ScOichman and
hard-headed. He had few thousand dol
lars and knew what he was going to d D.,
with them. He OWNED the nature of the
strangers calling and got up to find the
conductor. Mccall was not afraid of the
conductor. and was surprised when that
official appeared at the end Of the car with
Hume and Harris.
Mccall was wanted in San Francisco at
the time for swindling stranger out of
$500 at the Oakland ferry wharf, and
rather than be captured he ran cut and
jumped from the train. A few shots were
fired after him, but to no effect. Search
was made in the vicinity. but he escaped.
Previous to this Mccall had been con-
cerned in confidence game in which
$4,000 was secured from miner coming
to San Francisco from the Oregon gold
country. For MS part in this work Nc
Call served five years in the Penite ntiary
at San Quen tin.
There is clearly an error here as to the
iden tity of the man wanted in Chicago,
as the local police say there are only two
well-knOwn California criminals of the
name of Mccall and that both are now in
the penitentiary and safely out of harms
