WILLIAMS IN COURT.
Bold Western Robber Rsmanded
in $4,000 Bail.
leweIIer Newburser Says He's
Sorry He Didn't Shoot Him.
but Did Not Then Think the Man
Intended Robbery.

Edward Williams. the man who struck
Jeweller Newburger with a piece OF lead
pipe yesterday noon, was arraigned be-
fore Justice Noorhis in the Jefferson
Market Police Court this morning and
held in $500 for examination next Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock.
Williams was photographed at Head
quarters and paradei before supt. Byrnes
and the detectives. Not one Of them
recognized him.
He said that he was Edward Williams,
thirty-two years old. of San Francisco,
but beyond that he would not talk at
all. Being asked questions bearing upon
matters familiar to all San Francis
cans. he either refused to answer or said
he did not know in each case.
Williams is typical crook, and II he
came from San Francisco was doubtless
known as hoodlum there. He Is short
smooth-faced and wears his hair cropped
close to the scalp. His countenance
would inspire suspicion anywhere. and
the police feel confident he has Il crimi-
nal record IN some part OF the country.
Mr.. NewburRer was present In court
with counsel from Howe & Hummel's
office. A large piece of courtplaster
covered the edge of his bald spot where
leau pipe Tie SflH OIL his
scalp. He said that he had passed a
nervous night and had suffered from a
headache. but was thankful that the
damage was no worse.
II would have killed the man when
they brought him back to my store,
said Mr.. Newburger. "if l had thought
that he intended to rob me. I have
always declared since thief broke my
show window and stole some diamonds
several years ago that the next gentle.
man that came my way to steal and
gave me half show would never live

Williams went to Newburger's store

entered at noon yesterday he complained
that the stone had been Clipped. and
when Mr. Sewburger attempted to ex.
anime the stone Williams struck him
with a piece of lead pipe. Newburgei
scrambled to his feet and seized his re
volver, and Williams fed. He wa.
caught at the Greeley Monument by
citizens.
II thought the man struck me becaus,
he thought I had damaged his diamond
and was mad about It," said Mr.. New
| burge..
ut is lucky for him that did no
think then he was a thief"
| AS Williams made no attempt to stea
anything he was charged WITH feloniou
| assault.
He asked Lawyer Moran In the cour
to get a continuance until he had tim
to consult friends and counsel, and tn
continuance was granted.
