PAT CARR AND HIS MONEY!
How Two Attorneys Secured a
Money Exhibit.
The Robbers and the Robbed Both
Cincbed.
Singular Experiences of Man who Was
WRylaid Out of Court and Lost
His Money In Court
BY the Law.

A HgRALD reporter has ascertained
certain facts about the way q money ex-
hibit was handled in the superior court
which would seem to warrant rigid in
vestigation.
On the S0th OF last December, after
trial and conviction, John Mcdonald
was sentenced to eight years in the
Folsom penitentiary for robbing Pat
Parr of $40.
OnJanuary 9Th, few days thereafter,
George w. Olsen, who was g partner
with Mcdonald in the crime, pleaded
guilty to the charge and WAS sentenced
by Judge Smith to five years in the
penitentiary at San Quentin.
1t waa shown on the trial OF Mcdonald
that the two robbers had brutally a g.
sanlted Carr, inhIcting serious wounds
upon him IN the struggle for his money.
The money consisted of two 500 gold
pieces.
When the men were arrested they had
spent some of the money and had
changed both OF the gold pieces. The
amount secured from them was $3.50.
The money was an exhibit in ths case
and was used in the trial as one OF the
evidences OF guilt of the accused.
But Pat Carr could not identify it as
his money, because it waS silver money,
and he lost two $50 gold pieces.
After the trial was over Pat wanted
his money, or what was left OF 1t. But
he WAS forestslled by Messra. Rsddy and
Young, the attorneys who dciended the
robbers.
They put in claim to the money, and
asked Judge Smith to order that they
could withdraw tbs exhibit.
Pat Carr wanted his money. but the
expectant attorneys wanted It also and
at the request of R. w. Reddy the court
granted an order allowing him to take
the $34.60, and in addition to the bruises
he had received Pat Carr was also
mulcted, on technical point, out of his
money.
The attorneys and tho court agreed
that while it might be Csrr's money,
still what he lost was two $40 gold
pieces, and not $34 go in silver money
ana change.
| CLERK Forester spread the order at
length upon the records OF the court.
and there it stands today. an instance OF
the peculiar manner in which a man
may be robbed by footpads, and then 70
forth from court bewildered at the dis.
tinctions OF the law by which he is
stripped OF his belongings.

rnE NEW csINEsn TREATY.

sosator Whiis's Reasons for Favorlng
No Ratification.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Comment has
been csured by the announcement that
Senator White OF California fAvors the
new Chinese treaty. To the Associated
Press the senator has given for the fret
time the reasons for his attitude on the
subjects:
THE treaty recognizes" he said, "the
VALIDITY OF the Geary- -McCreary acts.
and explicitly declares that the Chinese
government does not object to It's en-
forcanient. This il a substantial gain,
oecauEe the supreme court sustained the
validity Of the Geary law by mere ma
determined the case has died, 80 all REQ
ognizs the uncertainty OF the second
action by that tribunal.
"The provision whereby the United
States agrees to furnish annually to
China the names Of Americana reniding
there, is in effect guarantee by the
Chinese empire that Americans Ars not
to be disturbed. While the Chinese
government Is not friendly to American
residents, the effect OF the proposition is
to make it liable, pecuniRrily or other
wise, for injuries to our people there.
'As to the criticism against the privi-
lege of a Chinese labolcr having wife,
child or parent in tina United States,
property or debts, the provision only ap-
plies to laborers registered. II we
agree, as in the Geary-McCresry act,
that they may remain permanently II
registered, | see no objection to tem.
porary absence. l admit that Cinnamon
swear anything, but in this case their
voracity is passed upon by an American
official.
''Individuals protesting to be inter-
ested have announced that the proposed
treaty will open tine door to Chinese
invasion, but no laborer can enter with
out return certihcsts, and II we admit
them there may be substitution, which
do not concede. The number OF labor
era cannot be increased, because one
certificate representa- one man.
"The right to return is explicitly rec
ognized by congress in the Morrow act
OF 1888, and the legislation was at that
time considered by auti-Chinese advo.
Gates % progressive. The presen,
treaty is drawn upon the lines OF the
Morrow bill and as soon as it becomes o
law, as the Chinese government intenda
to ratify it, bill can be passed provid-
ing for the enforcement OF the treaty
provisions, and containing proper End
stringent regulations and penalties.
The Morrow bill contained no provision
l.. for photography which is now supplied
by the deary-McClea laws. The
Chinese government declined to agree
to the treaty of 1888 upon the grounds
that certificates issued to departing
Chinese laborers should be granted BY
the Chinese consul. Mr.. Cleveland said
in his message to congress, dated Octo
Der /, 1883, approving the Scott exclu
sion act. that the views and necessary
effect of this contention would be tC
practically place the execution OF the
treaty beyond the control OF the United
States"

HILL AND THE TARIFF BIL1,

He May Aid tho Republicans in Getting e
1t Rocommitted.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-An interest.
ing suggestion 10 made In connection
with the possibility of the selection of
Senator Hill as member of the senate
committee on finance, to succeed the
late Senator Vance, to the effect that
such action might lead to an effort to
have the tariff bill recommitted to the
finance committee. With Senator Hill
GO a member OF the committee, dissatis.
fed with the main features OF the bill as
he is known to be. and especially antag.
onistic to the income tax, there would
DO good reason for hope on the part of
those who agree with him that the bill
would be materially amended should 1t
again 40 to the committee. II he should
stand with the Republicans of the COM
mittee, and they should vote solidly,
any changes desired by them could be
effected. There is a possibility. how.
ever, that the vacancy in the committee
will not be speedily filed, and it is be.
lieved that the Democratic members of
the committee will ask that Senator
Mills be given the place.

VETOED THE ORDINANCE.

Tho FiguerOa Street Improvement Meas
uro Was Defective.
The mayor yesterday returned to the
city council without his approval the
ordinance CT intention for the improve
ment of Figueroa street, adopted by the
council April 9th.
The ordinance in question provides for
the grading, graveling and guttering oi
Figuero street, from Adams street to the
south charter boundary of the city, and
the improvement is one in which quite a
large number of citizens in that section
of the city are greatly interested.
The mayor in his veto of the ordinance
states that its passage was premature, as
the city engineer had not established the
grade of q certain portion OF Figueroa
street covered by the ordinance. 1t is
likely that the grade in question will be
established at once and that the work of
improving the thofoughfare will then 20
ahead regularly.
