arrests were made to-day by Chief Rodgers
and Policemen Ahern and Lowell, bearing
on the murder of Policeman Cashin in Oak
land on Saturday morning last. A telegram
was received by Chief Rodgers to look out
for Michael Coleman, one of the murderUus
gang of burglars. Louis Matheny. who has
been arrested in San Francisco, was known
to have a mistress living in this city. fol-
lowing the calling of variety actress. 1t
was ascertaiued that this woman received
a visitor last night at her apartments in a
lodgin g-hnuse on Fourth street. between K
and j.. The news which the visitor brought
must have been disheartenDg, because it
was noticed that the woman, who goes by
the name Of Daisy Emery, alias Annie
Sprague, appeared at the variety theater
where she is employed in depressed mood
and frequently broke into tears. This fact
was noticed, and 1t was concluded that one
OF Matheny's pals had brought news of her
lovers arrest at the bay
This afternoon the Chief and Policemen
Ahern and Lowell arrested Coleman in a
saloon, at Second and j streets. He was
brought to the police station and charged
with murder. A search warrant was pro-

found and other articles, leading the police
to believe that she had received much of the
pluuder OF the gang, and acted rs fence"
for them She was also brought to the
police station and locked up. Neither she
nor Coleman would utter a word to the
police with reference to the CHARGES made
against them. They both will be kept
pending the arrival of an officer from the
bay
The woman, it is believed, will pav an
important part in the case, as Detective
Holland Of Oakland has made efforts to
locate her. Last fair time Chief Rodgers
had f. Matheny and Touhill. who was killed
by the Oakland officer, under surveillance
in this city, but was unable to fasten any
