Guy Rennard. Young Earl Was then
engaged in the cigar business. Fernal
was regular patron Of the place until
it closed, add thus the two young men
became well acquainted.
Earl met Formal again in San Fran
cisco few weeks ago. The crook APP
peared to be a pleasant, genial fellow.
After an acquaintance had been made
between the lady and Fernal, Mrs. Gar
ner received him at her apartments in
company with her son, neither OF whom
ever suspected but that he was all right.
Mrs. Garner was frequently seen in
his company, as they visited places o
amusement and took drives together.
Fernal being under suspicion for the
robbery, and Mrs. Garner and her son
having been frequently seen in his
company, the San Francisco officers pre-
sumed that they were implicated in the
theft.
Mrs. Garner informed Fernal of her
contemplated visit to relatives in this
city, and he said that he was going
south and would try and go the same
day she did.
He pretended to be the son of wealthy
man in the east aud was travelling for
health and pleasure. Mrs. Garnsr be-
lieved the story, as at all times his de-
pertinent in her presence was that of q
gentleman. She bad no reason to sus-
pect that he il said to be one of the
smoothest operators in the country.
Immediately upon FernaPs arrival in
this city he began to take in the town.
He stopped at the Phoenix lodging
house, and was always noticed upon
the street, for he dressed in the height
OF fashion. He went under the name Of
WI. Allen since arriving in this city.
He is originally from New York city.
ARRESTED ON TELEGRAM.
A day or two ago the police depart
ment received telegram from Chief
Crowley at San Francisco advising the
authorities to look out for and arrest
Fernal. A description was sent by
which the man was easily found by De-
tectives Benson and Auble. warrant
for his arrest was received yesterday and
he was Immediately taken in. The au-
thorities evidently had strong reason to
believe that Mrs. Garner and her son
knew something OF the affair, or they
would not have been arrested.
When Fernal found that he was in the
clutches of the officers he denied all
knowledge of the diamond robbery, and
even denied that he had any trunks in
this city. The officers could not be
thrown off by such a bluff as that.
After a diligent search by Detectives
Auble, Benson and Hawley his trunk
was found In bath room where he had
hidden it. Mrs. Kelly, keeper of the
lodging house, denied that she knew Of
Fernal having hidden the trunk.
THE DIAMONDS NOT FOUND.
The only thing remaining that will
serve to connect Fernsl with being a
principal in the robbery, is the fact that
the diamonds have not yet been found.
The detectives say the jswels are in this
city, and that they will be found today.
The superstition is that they are in some
cafe deposit vault.
HENRY GUY FERNALD.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-The man,
]. W. Allen, who was arrested in Los
Angeles with Mrs. Garner and her son,
Harry Earl, as told in Los Angeles
dispatch. proves to be none other than
Henry Guy Fernsld, a young confidence
man who came here from Chi
csgo a few months ago and who
was exposed here by Chicago lawyer,
who knew of Fernald's scheme to beat
local banks, though the nature of that
scheme was never fully known. Fernald
and Earl attended party at jacobson Q
house, it appears, the night of the rob.
