A handful of lawyers and witnesses,
two young women, and the court Off
cials were in the Court of Common Pleas
this morning at ten o'clock when Judge
Hudspeth opened the door of his private
chambers and asked Judge Hoffman to
come to his room.
Judge, Hoffman. who was conversing
with News" reporter, walked into
the room and the door was instantly
shut The next minute the door opened
and Constable VIM. Wise was seen COM
ing out of the Judges room dragging a
tall black-haired. black mustached man
and thrusting him into the prisoners

You stay there"
At the same moment Judges Huds-
peth and Hoffman walked hurriedly to
the bench, the former apparently much
excited about something.
II wish 70 tell this Court" said Judge
Hudspeth, that there is man in this
room who has just attempted to bribe

to the prisoner in the dock-"eame to

son is Edward Wayne, who is now in
the County Jail sentenced to one years

duced asked 10 speak to me privately,
and at once told me that there was from
$1,000 TO 5000 for me if I would get his
boy out of Jail. He said that Charles
webber, who thought a great deal of
the boy, would give that amount if /
would suspend sentence.
HE WAS A MASON
"He told me that he was Mason,
and as I was one also, he hoped I would
consider the proposition. I told him
that 1 would have to consult my col
league, and I called in Judge Hoffman.
When my colleague came in, in the
presence of Constable Wise, I accused
him of contempt of court and attempt

into the Court at this moment, Judge
Hudspeth repeated the charge and in
structed the Prosecutor to prepare
charges against Wayne.

been drinking struggled to his feet and
several times interrupted the Court, say
ing that "Charlie'' Webber didn't say
so, but that he could perhaps raise the

His two daughters, Florence and Mrs.
Virgins, with John R. Virgins of Ho-

Papa did sit down, grumbling.
COMPLAINT FILLED.
Later a complaint was Haue OUT py
the instructions of Prosecutor Winfield,
and Papa Wayne was lodged in the
County Jail. Judge Hudspeth was high
ly indignant at this outrageous insult
to the Common Pleas bench. When he
called in Constable Wise he was trem-
bling with anger.
You scoundrel!" he said, pointing to
Wayne. and then to Constable Wise
said, Take that man away and lock him
up"

FREIGHT CAR ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Am Organized Gang at work in This
City and Newark.

Detectives John Mcclellan and Richard
5. Brow. employed by the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad Com
pany, have been for several weeks past
trying to find the thieves who have been
continually stealing freight from the
eompany's cars at Marion.
Red McMahon and Rose Smith, two
notorious characters of the West End,
were found peddling shoes on the streets
of Newark yesterday. They We're arrest
ed and the shoes were identified as those
stolen from the Erie Railroad Com
pany's cars. When questioned by the
detectives about previous thefts which
had been committed. Mcmahon told of
three pigs of copper metal he said were
buried in the ground on Manhattan ave-
nue., near Coyle's coal yard He said
they were stolen from the Erie Railroad
ears some months ago.
The detectives went to the place at five

metal as described
The patrol wagon was summoned, and
the metal was taken to the Third pre-
cinct station house.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 27, 1S94.-Six
detectives, under charge of Detective
MeNally, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
have unearthed clue which they hope
will run down the most determined gang
of freight-car fends in the county.
Goods to the value of $4,000 have been
stolen between this city and Elizabeth
on the west and Jersey City on the east
during the past two months. Last
night the detectives employed by all the
railroads entering here started out to run
down their clue. At an early hour this
morning, near the Bergen station, they
unearthed one thousand one hundred and
twenty pounds of copper, which had
been buried II mile from the station.
Nearby they found eleven hundred pounds
of brass railroad journals and quantities
of goods valued at $500. In making
their research they discovered evidence
which they claim will lead to the arrest
of the gang. Detective MeNally said this
morning that the robbers would be ar

support of pimps who had in turns robbed her. She had son in Denver, being educated at her expense, so a hope was bred rather late in the season of her existence for realization that she might some time become respecta- ble. She decided, therefore, to marry Rochefort and settle down to ar honest life, that her son might never know what kind of a woman his mother had been.
 The marriage terms were agreed upon and Rochefort executed deed to Mrs. Renaud for his ranch. In the mean time, though, he had become demoral- ized. In the course of his frequent visits to Phenix he had been thrown into the society of other French gentle men who pointed out to him the ad- vantages and superiority of the life of a ''mac" over that of rancher.
 He made another proposal to Mme. Renaud. It was that instead of her becoming an honest woman that he should become disreputable man.
 He has since insisted on this change of plan and she has as persstently re- fused. He has also been trying to get possession ot his ranch again but Mme. Renaud clings to that deed as partial recompense for the disappointment Rochefort has been to her.

JUAN RIOS CRIME.
Overtaken After Three Years
 of Wandering.
Relentlessly Followed Duringia Tour of Arizona and the State
 of Sonora.

Juan Rios was arrested for a crime committed three years ago, the theft ot four burros, three pack saddles and robes and quantity of provisions On account of the uncertainty as to the exact location of the point at which Juan ceased to be messenger and be- came thief the matter is likely to be. come an international affair between Pinal and Maricopa counties. The story told by Bernardo, the woman rob- bed is as follows: She was living in Pinal, had wood contract and Juan was driving the burros for her. After three months service he desired to quit the agitation of the burros and enter another department of the wood busi- ness; he preferred steady and quiet life at the wood camp to the tumultuous existence incident to daily associa- tion with the burros go he was hired as wood chopper.
 One morning he left for the camp with the burros intending as was SUD- posed by Bernardo to surrender them to her son. On reaching the vicinity of the camp he left the burros, entered the camp, found Bernardo's son asleep, stole everything a burro could carry and moved on. This camp was so near the county line that Bernardo herself was unable to say in which county it was.
 Juan wandered up and down the faces of Arizona and Sonora and Der nardo followed like a Nemesis. She recognized him last Monday morning and twenty-four hours later he was in the grasp of the law which protects alike the life and property of the million aire and the burros of the widow.
 Juan admits the truth of Bernardo's statement ubject to some modification and amplification he did not steal any thing from the wood camp. He took the burros without any collision with her but he explains that she was in- debted to him for three months com panionship with the burros. She had no money and told him that she in- tended to pay him in burros. This met Juan's ideas of remuneration for three years ago the coinage of burros in Arizona was free and unlimited, there was no prospect of demonstration and there was no ground for & belief that the burro as circulating medium would ever degenerate to his present worth lessness.
 On the morning therefore Juan left he decided to quietly pay himself out of Bernardo's wealth of burros and thus spare his kind hearted employer unnecessary bangs at the departure of the long cared songsters.
 Justice Johnstone before whom the hearing took place, decided to hold him pending the settlement of the question of jurisdiction.

Four Days Missing.

Last Friday there occurred from the Gregory house what was regarded until last night as a mysterious disappear. ance. James Vacil came to the Gregory house several weeks ago from one of the mines in the northern part of the terri tory suffering from Bright's disease. He left the house last Friday and has not been seen in the city since. There was belief that he had committed suicide. The belief was based on his despondency, as he had been suffering intense pain and seemed to be thor oughly disheartened.
 Last night telephone message was received from the county hospital, stat ing that the missing man was there.

ROCHEFORT'S CASE.
The Story of His and Mime Renaud's
 Love Affair.

The Story of His and Mime Renaud's
 Love Affair.
 Ellie Rochefort, the Frenchman who tried to commit suicide by hanging at the city jail on Monday, night took a more rational view of things yesterday morning and and was released to appear in ten days and answer to a charge of distur bance of the peace.
 There is story connected with the affairs of Rochefort and the woman Blanche Renaud who says he tried to kill her on Monday afternoon. She says that he is either insane or a mur- derer at heart but she is inclined to be- lieve on account of the manner in he is crazy. He called at her house and said he came to kill her but was pre- vailed upon to eat dinner saying the killing could wait few minutes.
 Having finished his meal he drew 8 knife and made dash for the woman. The point of the weapon almost touched her breast when she turned and ran screaming into the street. Rochefort was immediately after arrested but not before he had wounded another woman and an afficer.
 But the romantic part of story of Mime. Renaud and Rochefort is this:
 Until six months ago Rochefort was an honest ranchman near Phenix. He became acquainted with his country woman and an affection at least on his part sprang up between them. The ad- vantage of the union, however, was all ha cida nE Mp,a Eor years she had lived prostitute, the
