IIe H. charged with Grand Larceny
Indicted nt san francisco Amer
LcayIng-T Arrest.

on Tuesday last there arrived
passenger who registered at the
Arlington Hotel as Erwin S.
Carttley, San Francisco" The
letter "r' is plain enough in his
surname as booked, although
newspaper mention of the same
person in S., Francisco gives his
name as "Cattley." The stranger
brought several trunks and valises
to carry his personal effects, and
was dressed n the style of an
English gentleman of leisure.
One of his favorite Co.'S
tunes after arrival was a
hunting suit including tan. color
ed riding boots. Carttley was the
life of the ships cabin on the
p ssage hith1r, being apparently
in very jovial spirits. After his
arrival he moved about town
freely and made arrangements to
enjoy life in the tropics. He
dickered with Thomas Lindsay
the jeweler for a gold watch, but
went off without buying the arti-
Gle. Yesterday morning he bought
a horse from A. J. Campbell, CIV
ing a cheque on Bishop & Co. s
bank for the purchase money.
1t would appear, however, that
had the steamer Warrimoo arrived
ON schedule time, or any time be-
fore the arrival of the Wilder, our
hero would have been registered
at the police station before any
where else. The steamer Mari
posa brought the following &C
count of Carttley, or Cattley, in a
number of the San Fran cisco
Call:
"INDICTED FOR FoRGERY-E.S.C CAT
TLEY, WHO ROBBED p. GEORGE
Cow, WILL BE ARRESTED AT
HoNoLULU.-THE VANCOUVER
STEAMSHIP WILL GET THERE
BEFORE CATTLEY ARRIVES ON
THE SAILING VESSEL.
The long arm of the law is
scare ing out for e. S. Cattley,
the young man who managed to
gain the confidence of a fellow
country-man, P. George Cow, on
a recent journey across the con-
tinent. For two weeks or more
he enjoyed the companionship
and hospitality of Mr.. Cow at
his club, in the woods and at
other places, and then robbed his
host in the meanest manner i'm
aginable.
LAS related in the Call, he
went to Cows apartments on
Taylor street and, presenting to
the landlady letter purporting
to be from Cow, secured the
latter's baggage, wearing apparel,
gun, traps and gold samples.
The samples were valued at $500,
and Cattley obtained $500 for the
collection ut Selby's assay office.
THE day after the robbery
was perpetrated Cattley engaged
passage for Honolulu on the
barkentine Wilder and departed.
Before leaving San Francisco
he made himself so agree
able and interesting to many
Of Mr.. Cows friends in society,
that one of them gave him letter
requesting the captain of the bark
entine to make the passage of Cat
tley as delightful as circumstances
would permit.
"Cattley had stated repeatedly
that he was a brother in-law of
the British Vice. Consul at Homo
lulu, and the friend of others
equally well-known in the capital
of Hawaii, and so obtained favor
able consideration.
"CattleY with all of his shrewd-
ness as a swindler, did not take
into calculation the power of
steam on the ocean. While he is
sailing away on the Wilder enjoy

he is travelling in advance
