SANDERS CINCHED.
GUILTY OF FORGING WILLIAM
WOOTTON'S NAME.
Cause of the Disappearance Sf the
Wealthy Californian VIII Prob
ably BE Ever Enshrouded in sIys-
terry.

Fresno, Cal, April 24-Professor
". A. Sanders was last night convic-
ted of the crime of forging the name OF
William Wootton to draft for $1.40c
on the Kutner-Goldstein company, a
local mercantile firm. The case is one
of the most sensational ever tried in
the county and back of it is a mystery
as yet unsolved.
William Wootton was a native OF
England, aged 20 years. Years ago he
came to California and finally settled
in Fresno county, where he prospered.
He accumulated money and bought
land until he could stand in his door
way and gaze over 5000 acres of land.
On the last day of February, 1894,
Wootton disappeared and to this day
no trace of him has been found.
Shortly thereafter Sanders filed for
record a deed to the Wootton lands.
Suspicion arose that Wootton had been
murdered by Sanders. as he had been
the last man seen in the ranchers
company. and that the deed was a
forgery. Then Sanders presented a
draft on local firm for s1,400, pur-
porting to have been drawn by Woot-
ton in his favor. This was also thought
to be a forgery. Finally Sanders was
arrested on a charge of murder, but
the grand jury failed to indict him on
the charge.
Sanders told his story He had been
negotiating with Wootton for the pur-
chase of his ranch for some time, in
tending to use the money of John
Knausch, a lifelong friend. On the
last day of February Knausch and a
man named Graves went to Wootton's
ranch. Sanders says he had gone to
Wootton's house in a blackboard and
was there when Knausch arrived.
Knausch offered Wootton $4,000 for
the ranch. Wootton wanted $4,000.
Then knausch brought forward the
two sacks Of coin and emptied one
thousand twenty dollar gold pieces on
the table. saying he would give check
for the balance on Los Angeles bank.
The bargain was made at $4,000
WoottOn gathered up the coin and put
1t into the sacks. which he loaded on
to the blackboard, intending to bring
the immense treasure to Fresno for
safe keeping. All four men started for
Fresno in the two vehicles, Wootton
and Sanders riding together and car
rying the money. Wootton became an
cry on the way, and taking the sacks
of coin into the other vehicle he told
Sanders to go back home. Sanders
turned back, and since that time he
has not seen Wootton, Graves or
Knausch.
The peculiar part of the story is that
Sanders IS the only man who knows
Knausch and Graves, and it is he who
has secured possession of Wootton's
wealthy estate. Knausch has never
returned to claim the property, which
Sanders says was purchased with his
money.
Charles Roh1off, wootton's hired
man, saw Sanders and Wootton drive
away from the house on a run, Woot-
ton sitting stiff and immovable like
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 tried and the trial resulted as
stated.

On April g. 1892, Irvine gave $1,000 bail
for his appearance at the May term
of court. Irvine was one of the lead
ers of the invasion movement made by
the Wyoming stockmen against John
son county in 1892, and is charged
with being one of the party of cattle
men who had a running fight with
F'lagg, one of the alleged rustlers, for
whom they were cunning. Although
nearly hundred shots were fired at

the invaders war ended was elected

editor of the Buffalo Voice. The in

rustlers killed during the invasion,

from Johnson county, those having
homes there abandoning them. Ir-
vines first visit to the county since
the invasion was on Saturday, when
he was summoned as witness against

claimed that the present charge
against Irvine can be disproved by
those who participated in the fight
with Flaoor, 80. -

st. Louis, April PA sensation was
caused today, when Mrs. George Laird, OF
Indianapolis, at the point of a revolver,
chased Joseph L. Hendricks, who says he
is Philadelphia detective, into the arms
of a policeman, who took the two and the
womans daughter, Miss Della Maud, to
the Four Courts, where the details OF a
double elopement were revealed.
The young lady told her story as fol-
lows: 1.-THE lady, Mrs. Laird, is my moth

VERY MEEK MANIAC.
THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL LORD
sHAFTA DOUGLASS.
Reporters Make Life Il burden For
the Weak-Minded Scion of NObil-
ity Who Wanted to Marry n Va
riety Actress.

Bakersfield, Cal. April 24.-Great In
terest is felt in the Lord Douglass
episode, and it is the general talk about
town. The young man, who is just
turned %, is the meekest maniac that
ever graced a narrow cot IN an rom
bound cell. His pale white face apd
rowing blue eyes show little sign of
insanity The general impression one
would gather from his appearance is
that he is of weak character and no
particular intellectual force. He is still
in the county Jail, awaiting his hearing,
which comes up tomorrow, and great
care is taken to Keep the IRON doors
locked. All day he has been receiving
visitors, mostly English friends, who
never fail to address him as my lord"
and newspaper men.
This evening, he declared he never
saw so many reporters. why blast
them, they're an awful nuisance" he
said. Several took snap shots at the
gained his good graces for a while and
took two good views of him. Later in
the day, this same reporter was asked
to ''get out His Iordship, if left
alone, would like to. talk, but his at
torneys have cautioned him to keep
still. During the few leisure moments
his lordship enjoyed, he spent reading
HUeIdl supply VI HldSd1IAeS WHICH
friends sent in.
This afternoon Miss Adds called at
the Jail, and was closeted with the lord
for quite while. After she came out
she told a friend he declared he was
still determined to marry her. This is
in contradiction to what he said this
morning. He then, after admitting he
got out the license, said he did not
know that he cared to marry her A
number of close friends were seen.
They all declared the young man is
not crazy, but they left the impression
he was not too bright and openly de-
clared he was ''the biggest fool in
town.
A new turn was given TO public
opinion tonight. when it became,
rum ored that his lordship's friend,
Burmester, who swore out the war
rant, Is also enamored with the little
Irish actress, and 50 declared himself
to newspaper man today. 1t seems
that jealousy as much as a desire to
keep his lordship from Throwing him
self away" played a part in inducing
him to have his friend incarcerated as
a mailman.
1t was learned today that Douglass
had no money in the bank on which
he drew his checks Monday night. A
check which was cashed by a business
house will be taken up by English
friends. The others will not be paid.

Crosby Explains.
General Freight Agent Crosby. of the

times upon the railroads, and was OF the
opinion that all the lines had always done
the best they could for Denver mer-
chants and manufacturers He said there
was never any complaint concerning the

eblo shall be made terminals. This
means that they will really be distribu-
ting centers on the Chicago freight level
The Southern Pacific, however, insists
that the commission shall not extend TINS
ruling to intermediate points, as that
would compel that road to abandon COM
petition with water-carriers on Transcon-
tinental business and fall back on local
business, which would compel 1t to help
develop its tributary country.
Freight Agent Smurr, of the Southern
Pacific, was on the stand the entire aft

which his road contended it should be al

If the concessions practically agreed
upon are made, Denver manufacturers in

able to make use of the rate for a short
haul, equitable with that made for the
long haul. This applies, however. to west

THE CARSON STEAL.

Carson. New, April 24-Inspector
Mason is still On the stand in the mint
case, and is being cross-examined Mason
is merely explaining the working of
bullion and the possibilities of abstrac-
ton.
The only sensational evidence given
today, so far as known. is the statement
of Inspector Mason that he had been in
fnery had been found in Jones posses
sion. 1t is thought that the evidence of
Hirch Harris, the present melter and re-
finer, when completed, will materially
strengthen the case against Jones.
The prosecution will make every effort
to have the court room doors open to-
morrow. so that reporters and the public
may obtain admittance.
