The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-13
LONG ARM OF THE LAW.
E. S. CattIey Brought From
Honolulu on ExtraditiOn
Papers.
He Was Accused Of RObbing p.
George Cow and Alb
seconded.

The long arm of the law did reach out
and catch E. S. Cattley. The chief crime
charged against Cattley is grand larceny.
AS described in THE CALL some weeks ago,
he gained the friendship of P. George Cow
and then deliberately robbed his friend,
stealing gold samples, wearing apparel, a
beautiful shotgun and many other arti-
cles. Then he made haste to sail for Homo
lulu on the barkentine Wilder.
The facts of the robbery were laid before
the Grand Jury, Cattley was indicted and
Lieutenant Hannah of the police detailed
to proceed to Honolulu and bring the ac-
cused to San Francisco. Hannah sailed
for Honolulu on the steamship Mariposa,
reaching his destination two days after
Cattley arrived on the Wilder.
Before the officer had been in town two
days he located his man. Cattley was
rolling, not SO very high, but quite grace
fully. He was living at the Arlington
Hotel and taking exercise daily on horse
purchased for his own use. He bad also
deposited $500 in Bishops bank. When
arrested by Lieutenant Hannah he feigned
insanity, but the officer referred the ques-
ton of sanity to medical expert, who
pronounced Cattley sane.
In due course OF time Cattley was
brought before Judge Whiting of Homo
lulu. officer Hannah called Paul Neu-
mann as witness. The genial Paul
testified that he was familiar with the
laws of California and that grand larceny
under the law of this State was felony.
The court remanded Cattley to the custody
of the marshal, subject to Officer Hannah s
order. On showing of documentary evil
dence Mr.. Hatch, Minister of Foreign At
fairs, directed that Cattley be surrendered
to Lieutenant Hannah.
Some of the property stolen from Mr..
Cow was recovered by the arresting Off
Ger. The beautiful shotgun which Mr..
Cow SO highly priced was found and will
soon be restored to the owner as a trophy
of the chase. The handbook covering a
deposit of $500 in Bishops bank may en-
able Mr.. Cow to recover that much in
cash. Cattley sold Cows samples at the
Selby works for sum approximating
$3.50.
On the voyage aboard the Australia from
Honolulu hither, Cattley was allowed the
liberty of the ship until near the port
night before last. Then as a precaution
against escape he was ironed. The sight
of the shackles caused him to shed tears.
On the way from Honolulu the prisoner
wrote long letter to Mr.. Cow confessing
the crime and pleading for mercy. Officer
Hannah had the letter when the ship ar
rived yesterday afternoon, and Mr.. Cow
will probably secure 1t to-day.
On the voyage down aboard the Wilder,
Cattley asked the captain all sorts of cues
tons about extradition laws, yet no one
suspected that the inquiring passenger
was fleeing from justice.
Cattley is a nice-looking and smooth
talking young Englishman. The story
that he told in San Francisco that he was
related to British consular officer in
Honolulu was not verified at that port.
He was stranger there, yet it is asserted
here that his family in England occupies a
good position in society.
