Acquitted of the Forgery
of Tickets.
A Jury Disbeiieves Whiteside and
AndrOss, the Disgraced Rail-
road Employees.

A jury in Judge DaIngerfeld's court yester.
day acquitted A. b. GreenwaId. tickle, scalper,
OF the charge of forgery in connection with the
utterance of altered passes on The Southern
Pacifc's railroad system between this city ana
Los Angeles.
GreenwalG, 1t Will be remembered, was
arrested in company with his brother. NJ.
Greenwald, and TWO Southern Pacific en-
ployes named WbiesIde and And7oss. The
TWO last named turned States evidence and
confessed 10 having fixed up the tickets as
they came into the ticket AUDITORS department
OF The Southern Pacific Company. where they
were employed and to having sold them TO the
Gree nwalds, who were in the scheme. The
evidence against NJ. Greenwald was so slight
that he was discharged, but his brother was
held to answer and subsequently placed on
trial for forgery.
The taking of evidence In the case occupied
the whole OF last week, the court even sitting
on Saturday In order TO hurry he trial on TO its
close. From that day an adjournment was
Ia en- until yesterday for the hearing OF argu-
ments Of counsel.
The opening argument for the prosecution
was made by Attorney Frank Kelly, the special
counsel employed by the railroad company.
Kelly was followed by eX-Judge Dibble for the
defense, who occupied the remainder of he
forenoon. In the afternoon w. w. Foote closed
Tor the defense, making one OF his usually Wig
or0us and lmpassioned addresses.
Foote claimed that Greenwald was entirely
Innocent of criminal intent and had purchased
the tickets in good faith, believing them to be
genuine. The &C ion of VIII eside and An.
dross was severely condemned, counsel claim
Ing that they had been induced by promises OF
immunity from the railroad TO concoct this tale
that should implicate GreenWald, who as a
tick ct broker was not beloved OF the railroad
company.
The closing argument for the prosecution
was made by Assistant District Attorney Hos
mer, who conjui ed the Jury to believe the story
told by Whitesi0e and Andross and say that
he men were all in The scheme together. Judge
Daingerreld charged the jury, which retired at
4:45 p M.
Their deliberations did not last long, for in
five minutes after retiring a verdict of not
guilty was rendered. The verdict met with
&c neral approval.

In reply to further questioning about her
movements on December 13, the date of
Wares murder, she stated that she had
spent the greater part of the day in Oak
To see friends in Hayes Valley. On going
home she went into the drugstore. All
she knew about the time was she left the
valley after II o'clock at night, but could
not tell what was the exact time of her
visit TO the drugstore. She bought some
benzine from Ware and left for home.
Next morning she went again to the
store, and there met Harry Job. with
whom she held conversation regarding
the murder. Then she called on Mrs.
Biehl on Ninth street, near Market.

THE TARIFF OR HARD TIMES.
BONDS BOUGHT IN THIS CITY

Ii prosperity came with the reduction
oil the tariff Campbell p. Berry. the Assist
ant United States Treasurer for this dis
tric', mas seen none Of il. Five months
ago MT. Berry was appointed in the place
of Colonel John z. Jackson, and he is now
thoroughly familiar with the ms and outs
OF his Office and knows what the rising
and falling of the stream of money that
pours into the vaults on Commercial street
means.
There was about $38. COO.O 600 in the sub
treasury when Mr.. Berry took charge. and
there is little or no more there now. in
spite of the fact that the duty has been
paid upon large quantity of imports held
in bond pending tariff legislation, and that
the internal revenue tax on liquor has been
increased from 90 cents to 81 10 per gallon,
and about 81, 100000 in gold has been re-
ceiVed for bonds recently sold to restore
the reserve fund OF 100000, 000 in the Uni
ted States treasury.
1.-THE fact is" said Mr.. Berry yesterday.
"that the revenue is falling off. 1t NAV be
due to the prevailing depression of bust
ness or TO the reduction of the tariff.
Daring the FIVE months of my incum bency
the receipts have fallen off to the extent
of about 81 000. 900, and we are now paying
out gold for silver. l am told that that is
time, when the orehardists, yineyardists
aud hOp-growers employ large gangs Of
laborers, there is an active demand for
silver. and we receive gold and green backs
for the white metal; but when the harvest
season is over the demand for gold revives,
and we are obliged to pay it out in ex-
change for silver and greenbacks.
"When Mr. jackson turned the sub
treasury over 10 me there was about
S38, 000 600 in the vaults. There is little
more tnan that now. Yet there is about
81. 100000 in silver more than there was at
that time and since that time l have re-
ceived between 100000 and $4,000, 900
in gold fnr the sale of bonds.
1.-THE Bank Of California, which | I'M
derstand was represented. in the syndicate
that purchased the $50. 100000 worth 1T
bonds recently issued. brought 81, 800, 600
worth of bonds and paid lis percentage Of
the premium and another bank bought
$500, 900 WORTH"
1t will be remembered that Claus Spreck-
els two or three weeks ago obtained
S1,5O0,0O0 from the Nevada Bank and de-
posted 1t in the Bank of California. MIR.
Berry stated that the latter institution
bought its $1,000, 900 worth of bonds after
it received Mr., Spreckels' deposit, and he
thinks the bank may have acted as agent
for the CAPITALIST in purchasing the Gov
eminent paper.
The Nevada Bank was not represented
in the bond-buying syndicate.
