The Men Who Were Robbed Will
Be Asked to Give Their
Assistance.
WHY MAJORS sR. was HANGED.
Lawyer ]. Richards "reminiscences of
the Famous Murder Trial Twelve
Years Ago.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
i IL.


Now that the excitement concerning the
arrest of the boy burglars and safe
crackers has subsided and the youthful
prisoners have told their stories, there are
not wanting those who think that the
prisoners should be kept from going to
State prison. 1t is evident to all who
have passed few hours in the boys COM
pany that they do not realize the enormity
of the many crimes they have committed.
The lads are not desperadoes; they are
reckless, thoughtless boys. They are not
sentimental, and there is nothing babyish
about them, but neither are they entirely
callous. There is probably great deal of
truth in the story told by Majors, that his
first ideas of burglary and safe.cracking
were inspired by story of crime and the
methods of carrying it out.
The part that is most puzzling is that
played by Mrs. WilImore. All the police
officials that have investigated the details
of the case, from the Chief down, say they
are positive that she must have known all
that was going on. 1t was intended to
place her under arrest to-day, but Chief
Lloyd said tonight that although abso-
lutely convinced that she knew all that

by Mr.. Hotchkiss that the sale would

and although questioned separately they
tell precisely the same story.
Willmore said that the trip was under
taken shortly after he found the Hlnckley
diamonds. He said: ''I had been work
ing for Mr.. Mason steadily for about
three and half years, and he told me l
could take vacation. Archie Majors and

a couple Of horses from the proceeds of
the bicycle which Mr.. Mason had given
me as part payment for the diamonds.

When asked if he ever thought of the

intended to take my mother and sister
along although l had not said anything
about it,"
Both the boys were in the Police Court
to-day, but only for few minutes. Their
attorney asked that the examination be
set for next Monday.
Abe Majors has shown aversion all day
to seeing his mother. He was asked this
evening if he had any message for her, ana
he replied, 'No; but tell Mrs. Willmore to
come and see me-" Several times during
the day Abe has asked people to tell Mrs.
Willmore that he wants TO see her. Mrs.
Willmore's absence, and her remarks that
Abe has led her boy astray, have been con-
veyed to young Majors, and he limited this
evening that only his love for Ina has kept
him from talking.
About six months ago Archie Majors,
who is supposed to be in San Luis Obispo,
told several OF his friends that there were
diamonds in the Willmore house, but it
was thought that the boy was romancing.
Now it is believed that the stories were
true. The incident referred to was before
Abe went to stay at the Willmore house
and soon after the Hinckley diamond
episode. Every effort is now being made
to find Archie and bring him to Oakland.
If Archie tells all he knows for the pur-
pose of saving his brother there will prob
ably be a revelation.

Never since the establishment of fruit

more favorable than at the present time.
In February last year over 10000 cases of

fruit-packing concerns of this place, while
sold.

was going on it would be impossible to
secure a conviction so long as the boys
stuck to the story that she knew nothing,
and so he sees no use in making the arrest.
1t is very evident that young Majors
love for the WiIlmore girl is very strong
and that he will not say word against
her mother. Although questioned several
times since his arrest he will say nothing
that will tend to show that Mrs. V ilmore
knew of what they we're doing.
The young girl, Ina, is a particularly
bright little woman and for SIX months it
has been known among their friends that
Mrs. Willmore sanctioned the engagement
should marry early. Abe Majors m lakes
no secret of his love for the girl.
The boys express sorrow that they COM
mitted such deeds, but the police think
that there is nothing in their manner to
indicate that they would not do the same
again if they were free. They told Ser
geant Hodgkins to-day that they have
been taught a lesson by their arrest and
imprisonment that they coul d never forget
for the rest of their lives. They both de-
clare that when they get out of their pres
ent trouble they propose to lead upright
lives.
1t is not thought probable that the boys
will be sent to San Quentin, and it is the
opinion of many lawyers that they cannot
legally be committed co the peniten tiary.
Attorney Ayers, who is defending the
boys, says that there can be no real de-
Tense where the boys unequivocally con-
fess their doings, but he says he will do
everything possible to keep the boys out of
the penitentiary. He is trying to per-
suade all the storekeepers whose stores or
safes were opened by the lads to sign af-
fidavits that they think the ends of justice
will be best subserved by having the young
burglars committed to reform-school
rather than 10 the penitentiary.
1T is very evident" said ATTORNEY
Ayers tonight, "that the boys are not
thoroughly bad. They have been wild
and reckless, but / do not think they are
beyond the pale of reformation. do not
relieve that any one whom they have
wronged will wish to see them branded as
convicts for the rest of their lives. They
got their silly notions from trashy liter
ature and they seem to be really penitent.
Both boys have lacked the bringing-up
that only father can direct, and to a
great extent they are to be pitied. They
both worked when they could get work
and up to few months ago Abe Majors
was good to his mother. shall probably
plead not guilty for them in the Superior
Court so as to gain a little time and partly
because the lads do not realize what they
have done and are not, therefore, legally
guilty."
Mrs. Wagner says that her divorced hus-
band, who is now in contempt of Judge
Woods court is responsible for Abe tax
ing a dislike to home and going to stay at
Mrs. Willmore's. Wagner is at present
keeping out of Chief Lloyd's way, and it
is thought that he could perhaps give
some light on his stepson's career if he
could be found.
Abe Mayors was asked to-day about
some trouble that it is reported he once
got into in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
in which he is credited with doing some
shooting. Both the lads deny the story,
