courts, the stake-money is locked up by
an injunction, and it looks now as though
there will be but very little left of the
SIC, 900 for Sharkey alter Danny Needham,
D ]. Lynch, the lawyers, court iudg-
ments and training expenses are paid.
Sharkey was taken from his bed yester-
day afternoon and went to Vallejo
with his manager, Lynch. Just what this
new movement indicates has not yet come
TO light, but it is suspected that they have
received legal advice TO the effect that it
will be better for them to get out of the
jurisdiction of the courts, in view of the
present very active litigation on the SUBJ
iect of debts.
carp appeared in Justice Groezinger's
court yesterday afternoon and testified
that he was poor and owned only the
clothes on his back. Although having re-
sided here for several years he swore that
he did not know where Sansome street
was. 1t was the opinion of many of the
spectators that Long Green should take a
day off and make Mr.. carp acquainted
with the business part of the City.
The investigation into the alleged CON-
spiracy to rob the betting public is being
proceeded with very quietly. Detectives
have been working on the case, and it
is reported that the evidence they have
secured is overwhelming.
When Justice of the Peace Groezinger
called the case OF ]. F. Carroll vs. Robert
Fitzsimmons the courtroom was crowded
with spectators. Wyatt carp, who failed
to appear at the former session of the
court, was present and was the center of
observation by the curious crowd.
Attorney Arthur E. Mack was in attend
ance to look after Sharkey's interests,
while George Perry and Jacob Rauer rep
resented the plaintiff. Mr.. Rauer sat by
Mr.. Perry's side and suggested questions
to him from time to time. Mr.. Perry an
nounced at the outset lat he did not
wish 10 push the contempt matter against
Long Green's" friend.
carp was called to the stand, and in
answer toa question by Justice Groezin-
ger explained why he had failed to obey
he subpoena. He said the paper was
handed to him by a deputy sheriff with
whom he was not acquainted, and that
having a handful of correspondence at
the time, he placed the subpoena in his
coat pocket and forgot all about it. The
witness was deferential 10 the court.
There is no reason why l should dis
obey your orders in any way. L have
been an officer for thirty years of my life,
and for that reason l know what it means
10 disobey the court"
The court purged carp of contempt and
Mr.. Perry proceeded to inquire alb ut the
certificate OF deposit for he $40 coo stake
money. The witness said that he had the
certificate in lis hands at the time he
acted as referee and when the garnish-
ment was served on him. He told about
Lynch going out to his house on Golden
Gate avenue and how thew went down
town to some bank, wtere carp indorsed
the certificate. He could not tell the
name of the bank nor the street on which
it was located, beyond the fact that it was
about block and half from the Nevada
Bank on Montgomery street and in the
direction of the bay.
He denied that be had had any UNDER
standing with any person or persons as to
the disposition of the purse or the certif-
cate oil deposit.
"Do you own any property?" asked Mr..
Perry.
Mr. Rauer looked interested.
Nothing, except the clothes on my
back, replied carp.
He added that he had some race horses,
but they were leased by him for three
years from a woman who lives in Santa
Rosa.
Mr.. Perry tried to find out from the wit
ness the location OF the bank, but carp,
