Important Decision Reversed

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Superior
Judge Wallace today practically overruIed
a decision written years ago by Asso-
ciate Justice Field OF the United States
supreme court, when the justice was a
member of the state supreme court. The
decision was in the case of William
Mason, confidence man. who attempted
to swindle an Italian out of $1,000. Before
the Italian could pay the money to
Mason he was dragged away from the
place by his swife, whose suspicions had
been aroused, ana OH this ground the at
torneys for the defense cuntended that
no crime had been committed. In sup
port Of this contention. at opinion writ
ten by Justice Field was cited wherein it
was held that in the csse of married
man rao was about to take another wife
but was prevented from so doing at the
last moment, was not guilty of bigamy
or any other crime. Judge Wallace re-
fused to dismiss the case on this plea and
the case was given to the jury who con-
victed Mason in four minutes.
The case will probably be appealed to
the supreme court.

Chaley Turner( (coiored)of Stockton, which

and Gallagher was awarded the decision
in the fifth round. The fighting was
fast and furious from the start, and at
times inclined to be foul, both men co M
ing in for the censures of tn referee
rounds. Gallagher seemel to have the
best of the argument. hammering Turner
numerically around the ring and re-
ceiving only few good blows in return.
In the third round Turner regained
part of his lost advantage. and kept Gal
lagher busy lodging uppercuts and
shoulder blows. Turner could not keep
up the pace, however, and the fourth
round closed without either man having
gained any particular advantage. In the
fifth round the men fought savsgely for IA
few seconds and then clinChed. While
wrestling Turner fell over backwards and
dragged Gallagher down ON top of him.
In falling Gallagher's knee struck Turner
in the stomach and hurt him quite badly.
Gallagher arose, but Turner lay on his
back and allowed himself to be counted
out. Gallagher weighed in at 140 pounds
and Turner at $50. Gallagher was a 7
to 10 favorite in the betting. :, Young
Mitchell acted as referee.

BOGUS DRAFT SWINDLER
Thought to Be One of a Gang Of Bank
Workers

InOuSuh 10 DC OHc OI 0hHk W h"'.>
Workers
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-After the
arrest of Robert Rotson of this city to-
day, the police think they have unearthed
gigantic system of swindling by bogus
drafts printed in the names OF eleven
different national banks and drawn to
the correspondents of those banks in
Louisville, Boston, Milwaukee. Indian
apolis, Chicago and on five banks in New
York city. Last week Rotson called at
the printing house of Williamson d.
Bereher and represented himself as the
agent of cancelling punch for the bank
ing houses, negotiated for the printing
of several thousand national bank checks,
which he said he meant to use in adver-
tising his patent. He left an order for
the printing and furnished the firm with
a stereotyped fac simile Of cashiers
draft in which the name of the bank was
morticed and could not be changed. In
addition to the printing OF the checks in
blank from the cut furnished, he ordered
that the names of the banks that we're
correspondents of the bank on which the
checks purported to be should be printed
in red ink.
The checks as then produced would be
an imitation of the orig nails used oy the
banks, the list of which he provided the
printers. Rotson's subsequent actions,
his nervousness to have the work fin
ished, aroused suspicion and they notified
Captain Miller of the case.
The official scented an attempt at
wholesale passage of fraudulent checks,
and at once detailed Detectives Tate and
Whitcomb. vino went to the printers and
awaited the arrival OF Rotson tor the
checks. They did not have long to wait
before their man arrived and he was
taken into custody. He insisted that he
represented punch manufacturing
firm and had the checks printed to use
in his business. Questioning led him to
admit that he had not been selling
punches for year.
SHE stated also that he had sold a punch
to the Third National bank. The cashier
OF that bank was in Captain Miller's
room at the time the statement was
made. 1t was promptly branded as.
falsehood.
The police are of the opinion that he
and others entered on IL scheme of whole
sale forgery. Tho prisoners familiarity
with the banking business in this city is
apparent from the fact that he selected
proper foreign correspondents of the
banks in this city whose names were on
the face of the checks. Rotson was held
in bail to answer the charge of conspiracy
with unknown persons t, defraud by
means of bogus checks.
