MURDERER FREDER1CKs.

Brakeman Bruce Identifies the Con-
demned as the Man Who Shot Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, May Another crime
has been fixed upon William Fredericks.
He has long been suspected of being the
tramp who shot Brakeman James L.
Bruce on the top of a freight-car near
Gold Run early in the morning of June
2Sth of last year. Bruce arrived in this
city to-day, and by request of the police
went to Judge Levy's court for the pur-
pose of viewing Fredericks. The brake
man unhesitatingly selected the con-
demned man as his assailant.
Subsequently Bruce interviewed Fred
ericks in his cell, but the latter as strenu-
ously denied that he was the man as the
brakeman insisted that he was.
The shooting occurred q day or two
after the prison break at Folsom, in
which several convicts were killed. 1t
was believed that Fredericks, who had
lately been released from Folsom, had
planted guns and ammunition outside
the prison just before the revolt. The
theory was that he hid in the neighbor-
hood awaiting TIE break to render assist
ance to those who might escape. AT any
rate, it is now proved that F'redericks
was hidden on a train with six or seven
tramps, and when ordered off by Bruce
was asIquick to use pistol as ne was the
day Ii rrick was slain.
