Nobby Clark was Phil Crimmins. His
memory was not equal to some incidental
details in the transaction, ana Mr.. Barry
inquired:

James Kerwin, who keeps a saloon at
ITO Bay street, did not get even as near to
McKenna as had O'Hanlon. A friend of
his named Hayes wanted a saloon of very
bad reputation Oh Pacific street, in
the coast region, and had said TO
him that McKenna offered 10 get
him license for $500 Hayes afterward
raised the $500, and Kerwin went with
him TO see the tender of it; but Hayes
went into McKenna's Office alone, and a

said to Kerwin; THAT will be all right;

Under cross-examination the witness
denied saying this, bul said that McKenna
told them the Commissioners would not
grant the license on any account. He
told another story about another friend,
Hickey by name, for whom Frank Nc

Tonin, and that the next day McKeuna

All the old party workers, the young
fellows who had held fat City Hall jobs
under the Buckley regime of years gone
by or who were holding them now, as well
as the substantial old warehouses of the
party, were there in force. Would be

Buck was stubborn at first. He knows

power 1t would give him to win on other
points that he was playing. He
has other matters on hand, but he
got his men in the convention so
that he could swing them If 1t came to a
battle. He used them as his tools and now
they are playing dummy. Budd got his

LITTLE ANNIE MOONEY.
THE EMILY j. FREEMAN MYS-
Terry CLEARED UP.
A Sacramento Carpenter Finds His
Long-Lost Daughter, who Was
Kidnapped at Picnic in
1888 by Mary Cuneo.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-The mystery
surrounding the identity OF a young
woman calling herself Emily J. Free
man, which few weeks ago occupied
considerable space in the Denver and
San Francisco papers, has been cleared
up and it transpires that she ia Annie
Mooney, who was lost at picnic in Bel
mont, San Mateo county, CAL, in 1883.
Her disappearance at that time created
great sensation. Her father was James
Mooney, carpenter, and, though he
was certain the child was kidnapped. he
was absolutely unable to find any clue
of the child-thieves or even to fasten
reasonable suspicion upon any person.
1t is likely tho child was stolen by Mary
Cuneo, the dissolute woman whom Miss
Freeman thought was her mother. The
woman took the child all over the coun-
try, and to Mexico and then deserted
her. Mary Cuneo is now serving term
in thu county Jail for misdemsanor.
She has at all times refused TO gay any
thing about the case. The attention of
James Mooney, who is still living
in this city. was attracted by
the recent newspaper publications
to the efforts OF ths police to learn Miss
Freeman's Identity and it occurred to
him that she might be his daughter.
He wrote to her at Denver and she re-
sponded, and answered his questions.
Other correspondence followed. and it
seemed so probable that Emily Freeman
wss really Annie Mooney that meeting
was arranged. Miss Freeman started
west and met her father at Sacramento.
Ae soon as be saw her he was convinced
she was his daughter. Annie Mooney ia
now at the home of her father, on
Twenty-fifth street. Mary Cuneo will
say nothing about her motives in steal
ing little Annie Mooney, nor will she
admit that she was the kidnaper. She
never attempted to obtain ransom
from Mooney or in any way to secure
gain from her knowledge of the stolen
child's whereabouts. Mooney today
notified the police of the happy out
come of the attempt to learn who Emily
Freeman really was.
