MARCO HELLMAN SUED.
A Creditor Who Thoughts He Was Abou
to Leave the state.

A Creditor Who Thought Ho Was Aboua
to Leave the state.
A suit was begun yesterday against
Marco Hsllman, which resulted in his
being hunted up upon an order OF court
by deputy sheriff. The defendant is
a young man who acquired considerable
notoriety hereabouts as baseball man
ager. and who got into other muddles
not very creditsble.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Val
Schmidt, and was brought to recover
$500 lor money borrowed by Helman.
Mr.. Schmidt alleges that the ex- base
ball magnate fraudulently represented
to him that he was about to receive
money from some San Bernardino coun-
ty mines when he borrowed the money.
He never received his money back, and
further claims that Hellman has made
arrangements to leave the state for the
purpose OF deirsuding him.
In addition TO judgment for the
amount loaned, ana interest, he asks
that Hellman be imprisoned until he
satisfies the Judgment.
Under this complaint, which was Gs-
signed to department two OF the eupe-
rior court. an order for the arrest OF the
young man was issued pending the
hearing of the case and he was placed in
custody. He had not been taken to the
county Jail at late hour last night, and
probably succeeded in securing bail.
The defendant is NO relation OF Mr.. |.

Mr.. Macnsii's Umbrella.

Mr.. H. L. Macneil. as he walked out Of
the Bryson block yesterday afternoon,
carried handsome silveg-mounted silk
umbrella which has a history. AZ
there were no indications OF rain, peo-
pie thought it rather odd to see him
with an umbrella, and he mad to explain
ita presence several times before he
reached his home.
1t was Christmas present to him
two years ago, and the nsxt day it dis
appeared, whether "borrowed" or stolen
he did not know, the result was the
same.
Yesterday morning he got a telephone
message from the Electric Railway com.
pany that an umbrella OF his was at the
offics. He went there and found his
long lost Christmas present His name.
which had been engraved upon it, had
been partially eraoed. That's why he
carried an umbrella on q clear. cloud

and made all monthly reports; that he
had private cash book in which he
would enter ell money received. but at
the end OF the month Mr.. Burns would
direct him to pay but certain desig-
mated amount into the state treasury.
This amount would then be entered in
the cash book of the office, the differ
ence between the amount received and
the amount turned over being repre-
sented by tags, these tags reing placed
in the safe during the month in lieu of
money borrowed by Mr.. Burns and 9TH
ers in office, aud alao by employees
about ths building. Mr., Reynolds stated
that he understood that Mr.. Burns
would make up these monthly deficen-
cies in one lump.
In extenuation of his connection with
the crime OF falsifying the recorde and
his participation in this stealing, Mr..
Reynoldi stated that Mr.. Burns was his
superior, that his bread and butter de.
pended upon his position, and also that
Mr. Burns was indebted to him in
large sum Of money. and be did not
wish to run any risk OF not receiving it
back vet, notwithstanding the business
ability and natural shrewdness which is
accredited to him, il is most remark
able fact that the daily journals and
private cash book mentioned above
should be now missing. 1t is not rea-
sonable to suppose that person who
for two years and half had deliberately
and systematically falsitisd the books
for the purpose of allowing his superior
to steal the money OF the state, should
not have retained this private cash
book, which he says was always locked
in his drawer, and thus be enabled to
eubstantiate his statement and clear
himself, if such thing be possible. of
any beneficial participation in this
crime.
This system OF patent. unblushing
fraud, began almost at the hour of his
incumbency, reaches in unbroken lines
to the end of Reynolds deputyship,
and in less bold, though scarcely less
corrupt manner. continues to the end of
Burne' term. The shameless mendscity
OF these smbezzlers ontotrips in cunning
the barbor and other public robberies
discovered by Ghis Office. But while the
ssal OF condemnation and public con.
tempt should be stamped on this new
edition OF stealing made easy" yet in
the deaert OF regard and sympathy for
its originators, an oasis of admiration
intuitivsly arises from the fact that they
permitted the people to believe that the
law requiring the collection OF fees by
the secretary of etate was not dead
letter, by magnanimously turning over
to the state some OF the money collected.
In the interest of public justice, as q
safeguard TO the treasury and as warn.
ing to all others who might have an in
clination to follow in their footsteps, it
is proper that the garb of telon should
be fitted to the back OF each one of the
thieves who participated in this rob-
berry.
With this object in view, and to re-
cover to the state the money stolen,
submit to you the foregoing facts, for
such consideration and action on your
part as you may deem proper in the
premises. Respectfully,
JOHN z. DUNN, Controller.
Following this is a table showing in
