which betokens the excessive use of some
deadly drug. His eyes glared fercely and
he trembled with suppressed excitement.

FENCE" BROKEN lip.
A TamaIe Vendor Who Received Stolen
Goods.
Nearly thousand Dollars Worth Of Property
Already Detectives Aubie
and HawIey's Good Work

John Thompson, undoubtedly the
fence" for a regularly organized gang OF
thieves and pickpockets who are working
Southern California, was arrested by De-
tectives Auble and Hawley few days
ago and has since been kept securely in
the city jail while the sharp detectives
were out corraling the plumber they had
stolen. The list so far varies from Los
Angeles to Pasadena and conists OF every
thing from liver plate to ear ring. The
fellow will not betray the gang.
The police say that. Thompson is an ex-
convict, having served in Sing Sing. Folsm
and San Quentin for various crimes. He
is known to have been buying stolen
property from thieves for q long time.
Under the guise of running tamale
stand, he would receive watches and
other jewelry his pals would turn in,
Francisco. That explains why so little
plumber has been traced to pawn shops
and secondhand stores, recently. In the
properly recovered there are quantities OF
precious stones, removed from iewelry,
with gold and silver pins. settings,
chains, watches, thimlbes, ETC., and
opera glasses.
Of the plumber already identified there
is the jewelry stolen from Mrs. Bartram s
South Hill street residence some time
ago, with other matter stolen from H. Il.
Dunn and Rev. A. c. MAXWELL of South
Pasadena, and from Mrs. Cannon of
First street and Union avenue and from
Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh OF Alhambra. There
is a lady's ring, fine diamond SCI in
pearls and gold that has not been identi-
fled. The plumber in the detectives hands
will value at nearlya thousand dollars.
The clever rascal even had bottle OF
nitric acid withwhich to test the jewelry.
A part of the recovered goods is in the
form of old gold pins, lockets and
brooches that had been registered at the
postoffice by Thompson on April LIST, adj
dressed to the mint, San Francisco, Cal,
and which evidently had been sent there
to be melted into money. This was re-
covered by the detectives on Geographic
message and an order signed by Thomp-
son. This capture is the result of months
OF patient work by Detectives Auble and
Hawley in their struggle to break up the
gang OF thieves that Is known to be in
existence here, and it is already thought
that their efforts have been successful.

Spring street, between Second
and Third, at O'Clock last night
OH which to begin operations, and had
begun to harangue the gathering crowd
when an officer, after requesting them to
move on, arrested them for obstructing
the already crowded street..
They were very defiant at the station,
and when 1t was learned that only the
woman was speaking. they were both
. released. The scheme is something like
this according to Rice: He does not
talk. His wife does. She has child a
few months old. 1t is illegal to place an
infant in a prison cell without its
parents consent. Madam is arrested;
demands her child; will not have it in
jail; is necessarily permitted to 60 home;

Mr.. Rice said to a reporter that he ex-
pected to found here church'of Christ s
United Followers, and that they were
speaking on the streets while their tent
was coming. He said he had had just
such cases sixty-four times and had been
sent to the Illinois penitentiary during
the worlds fair on the same charge. He
was desperately anxious to give out har-
rowing details and volunteered to supply
the cuts of himself and wife.
Finally the sneering remarks of some
OF the crowd shamed them off the
street, and mob followed them to their
lodgings on Upper Spring street. The
fellow insists that he be arrested and so
intends to preach again, with his wife
who has nursing baby, on the streets to-
day. Rice will pass his big hat for the
collection. They got 65 and 50 cents last
