'e'4oeA ~ LdInpert, the alleged default
ing Police Court clerk of Oakland, who has
been missing since last Friday morning, is
on his way to Honolulu, and he is accom-
panied by fair but frail young woman,
whose name is said to be Gertrude
Mahoney. Lambert and his female COM
panion sailed away on the Mariposa,
which left for Australia by way of Homo
lulu week ago yesterday, and they will
probably land on Hawaiian soil to-day.
Lambert was one of the last to 90
aboard the steamer, he and the young
woman going up the gangplank lust be-
fore the steamer sailed. They drove up in
coupe to the Office of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company on Montgomery street
shortly before 3 o'clock and Lambert
bought two tickets for Honolulu for J. c.
Thomas and wife
Lambert seemed to be suffering from the
effects of protracted spree. His face was
very red, and his hands trembled as he put
out $3.50 in gold in payment for the two
tickets. Directly he secured his tickets
he entered the coupe and the latter went
rattliig over the stones in the direction of
the Oceanic dock. The pair attracted no
attention as they went aboard, all eyes be-
ing rive ted on the members of the "Gaietv
Girl troupe. Lambert seated himself in
the main saloon, while his companion,
with brazen effrontery, stood in the door
and complacently watched the wharf re-
cede from view
The above comes as a report from San
Francisco, but an Oakland man saws that
he Is positive that he has seen Lambert in
oakland since the steamer sailed. This
party says that Lambert was seen at the
corner of Broadway and Fourteenth street
on Tuesday night last talking to several

in Oakland.
Yesterday Police Judge Woods ordered
Experts Ensign and Bloom to open the
safe, and these two gentlemen were en-
gagged all day in the work. They did not
succeed in their task and will try again to-
day. Ensign has national reputation as
a safe-wOrker, and took the Job of opening
Lamberts safe for $50. He is now prob
ably sorry that he did so, for he spent one
day on his work so far with but little re-
suits. At noon he said he had two good
clews to the combination, but as the lock
admits OF 0.O00 combinations and as the
further belief prevails that Lambert fixed"
the safe, II is thought the experts will have
an uphill job.

there and a member of the Government

reception.
The young woman who is said to have
accompanied Lambert to Honolulu was
not named Mahony, as has been published,
but Mahanny. At least the latter was her
maiden name. Some five years since she
married Il gripman on the San Pablo
avenue car line named Nalerga, with whom
she lived a year. He secured divorce
from her. Since that time she has been a

There was a story out late last night in
Oakland that the ex-clerk was still in Oak
land in hiding. That he did not get away
on the Mariposa at all, though it was his
intention to do so.
The report is that some of the girls fast
female friends in Oakland went over Fri
day to see her off, but not seeing Lambert,
they asked where he was. The girl said
he had gone up town but intended to come
back The steamer sailed and the party

not care whether Lambert showed up or
not. She had the Doodle and another
fellow on board. About 10 minutes
after the steamer sailed, the party
said. Lambert came putting down on the
dock He did not seem much dlsap-

An Oakland man said last night that ii
