The morning call., 1893-05-08

Friday morning for assault with deadly
weapon. He had beaten rival in his in
famous business named Macmillan Luc-
chest over the head with cane and had
fractured his skull.
The man was dangerously wounded,
yet Judge Conan released him on his own
reccgniZance, which the police say he had
no right to do, as no one charged with
felony can be released on his own recog
niZances.
O'Haulnn went home TO his saloon at
CAL Commercial street. aud every reporter
who asked 10 see him was informed that
he would be in in few moments, or that
he had just gone across the bay. Then it
was said that Judge COnlan had been very
intimate with the alleged macQuerau, and
had helped him ohton one occasion when he
was in trouble and 1t was remarked that
when a woman was arrested early one
morning for giving an immoral exhibition
in her room the Judge came down to ac-
cept bonds for her release, and attempted
but failed TO have the case tried in his
court
When O'Hanlon was arrested he de-
clared that LucheSsi was a stOOlpigeOn for
the police. by which," says Sergeant
Wittmann, "he meant that Luchessi told
us where we could find the obscene shows
given by the women controlled by
O'ElanlOn. l broke up three of these
shows and know that Conlan came down
the women's release.
'He asked to have the cases assigned
to his court. and | protested because / did
not think that he who had been employed
rs counsel for these women and their
friends was the proper person to try them,
and the cases were taken to another court,
and one of the women was convicted. /
VIII fight this thing to the end"
Il think" said Chief Crowley, "that
Conlan went little too far when he made
his Wholesale charge against the depart
ment. He may have been drinking. We
have heard such charges before, and have
investigated them without result.
Il have sent men of unquestioned hon
esty through the streets occupied by the
women OF the town-men who could speak
French and who were not members of the
police fOrce-but the keepers of the disrep-
ntable houses aud the occupants invariably
denied that they had ever been asked to
pay policeman for immunity from ar
rest. We will sIft this thing to the bot
tom"
How about the rebuke administered to
Corporal ParrOtte by the Judge?"
II ParrOtte said what be is reported as
having said he did wrong. When this
department has any criticism to make il
should come from the chief and not from
subordinate. But | am Informed that
O.Hanlon when arrested defied and in
suited the police. and others might have
done as Garr0tte dld."
OHanlon has been arrested several
times. and 1t is said that Conlan was his
true friend. The man whom be assailed on
Friday morning IS no better than himself.
But when he was taken into the prison his
head and shoulders were covered with
blood, and Dr. Bunker, who attended him.
said that his skull was fractured
A few minutes later Judge Conlan ap-
peared and rermitted the macquereau 10
Qenart on MS own rpp0rniZanPp
Then Corporal. Parrotte remarked that
1t was rather strange that n Judge should
be so lenient with such man as o. Hanlon
in view of the fact that the wounded man
might die.
For this and other alleged remarks Par
rotte was cited 10 appear before the Judge.
and then the sensational utterances of the
court that have trouble the police were
made.
Lucchesl was found yesterday by re-
porter at 800 Dupont street. The place is
one of the disreputable class. and there
was little doubt as TO the Surroundings of
the room in which he lay. He was at
tended by fairly prepossessing French
woman, who represented herself as his
VILE and wore very conspicuous brooch
with the word Antonette.
The woman stated that Lucchesi has
been living in this city about twelve
years, ana IS native of Lyons, France.
His fatner was an Italian Before
Lucchest came to this country he was n
pavior. but since he has been here. said
Anto!nette with somewhat expressive
look, he has not followed his trade.
During the conyer rsation Lucchesi turned
uneasily on ths bed like one In pain of
mind and body. His face naturally big
and bloated, was not improved by the
Jumps and discolorations over his ewes.
and large double chin was prominently
relieved by tight-ftting night robe.
When the reporter asked if there was
any truth In the assertion that he or the
woman had paid for police protection he
denied It, The woman distinctly said:
No; we have not paid five cents to any
policeman"
Asked about the relations between
OHanlon and Lucchesi, the woman stated
that there had been bad feeling between
them for two years past. She said that
OHanlon suddenly ceased to speak to
Lucchesi without any cause.
Lucchesi again turned uneasiy in the
bed, and muttered q few words in the
woman's ear.
"He does not wish me to say any more"
she remarked. He says let me get bet
ter and l will tell you anything you
want"
Lucchesps condition was better yester
day, bnt DIR. Bunker declined to pronounce
him out of danger. The injured man is a
big. heavy fellow OF 200 pounds or more

to be AZ years of age, but looks four or five
years older.
OHsnlon has been absent every time a
reporter called at his saloon. 81 told him
to keep quiet" said Judge Conlan last
night, "and he oheysd me-"
1t was rather difficult matter to find the
Judge Dimsef. The reporter was first in

Il am going to make charges against

but refused to give it on the ground that
If he did so the police would head him off.
They are trying to head me- off, now."
he said, "and are trying to get my wit
nesses out of the way.
$50 have decided that ] viii not give
them the names of my witnesses, but will
hold what 1 have until the commission

But tho charges against the police can
not be tried tomorrow night. as every
