CONVICTED OF FORGERY
California Professor Mixed IN,
in u Mystery.


FRESNO, Cal, April 24.-Prof w
Sanders was last night convicted nf
the crime of forging the name of Will
nam WOODEN to draft for 81, 400 on the
hutner-Goldstein company. a mercan-
TIE hrm. The case is one of the most
sensational ever tried in the country
solved
William Wooden was a native of Eng
iaho' aged seventy years. Years ago
ne came to California, and finally set
.ieo IN FRESNO, where he prospered. On
~lne last day of June, 1894, Wooden dis
appeared, and to this day no trace
Oh MIN has been found. Shortly there
aIter sanders filed for record a deed
10 the Wooden lands. Suspicion arose
that Wooden had been murdered bv
Sanders, as he had been the last man
seen In the rancher's company. and
that the deed was a forgery. Sanders
presented draft on a local firm for
$l,4O0, purporting to have been drawn
by WOODEN in his favor. This was also
thought to be a forgery. Finally San
ders was arrested on a charge of muir
der, but the grand jury failed to indict
him on the charge
Sanders told this story: "I had bean
negotiating with Wooden for the MR.
chase of his ranch for some time. in
tending to use the money of John
knausch, lifelong friend. On the
last day of February Knausch and a
man named Graves went to Woolen's
ranch. 1 also went, in a blackboard
ana was there when Knausch arrived.
knausch offered Wooden $4,000 for
the ranch. Wooden wanted $50 600
Then Knausch brought forward the
TWO sacks of coin and emptied a thou
sand $40 gold pieces on the table, saying
ne would give a check for the balance
on a Los Angeles bank. The bargain
was made at $4,000. Wooden gathered
up the coin and put it into sacks, which
ne loaded onto the blackboard, intend
ing to bring the immense treasure to
Fresno for safe keeping. We all started
Tor Fresno in the two vehicles, Wooden
and L riding together carrying the.
money Wooden became angry on the
way at me, and, taking the sacks of
coin into the other vehicle, he told me
to go home. 1 turned back, and since
; tnat time L have not seen Wooden,
Graves or Knausch."
Charles Ronloff, Woolen's hired man
saw Sanders and Wooden drive away
from the house on a run, Wooden sit
ting stiff and immovable, like a
corpse. Everything at the house was
left in confusion, $4,000 worth of notes
lying scattered On the floor.
The grand jury indicted Sanders for
forgery. He was tried and the jury
disagreed. Two weeks ago he was
again arrested, and the result was as
stated.

ton.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-President
Young. of the National League, today
issued card in which he says:
There seems to be a very mis-
taken impression in relation to the
resignation of Mr.. Lynch as league
umpire. Last Saturday night I re-
ceived la long telegram from Mr..
Freedman requesting me to remove
Lynch from New York and send an
other umpire for Mondays game. This
L positively refused to do, and in re-
ply to Mr.. Freedman, I sustained Mr..
Lynch. Certainly Mr.. Lynch could
not have asked for any stronger ap-
prevail or Endorsement from me than
my refusal to change him before he
had completed his SERIES Monday T
wrote him to go to Baltimore and
continue umpiring on the oath. Tues
day morning 1 received a telegram
from him asking that he he vindi-
Gated by remaining in New York the
balance of the week.
Il declined to accede to Mr. Tvnoh,,
request, and upon receipt of my tele-
gram Mr.. Lynch wired his resigna-
uon, leaving me without an umpire In
New York for Tuesdays game.
FOR eight years Mr.. Lynch has ner-
formed faithful, capable and honora.
Ole service as league umpire and no
man could possibly have been more
strongly sustained by me, and while
ne mad an unquestioned right to re-
sign, L think he did himself a ater
wrong than he did me, in not giving
me timely notice."

NEW YORK, April 24-The arena
of the new Manhattan Athletic club

Sweeney twice by hitting low in the
third round. Sweeney fought like
Trojan in the third. O'Keefe's left
eye was plunged up" in the fourth
from Sweeney's left-hand jabs. 1t
was all one way in the fifth, as
Sweeney punched right and left on the
face of his adversary. The last round
was of the same order, and the judges
agreed on Sweeney as the winner.
Young Glasgow, of New York, and
Young" Cooke, of Brooklyn, en-
gagged in six-round contest at $50
