SACRAMENTO DAILY REooRDN1oN WEDNESDAY, MARcn as

ing been ascertained that MARITIME had
gone to Salt Lake or Denver. Crowley
gave instructions for Curtin's arrest
and a patrolman named Kelly ran
across him and took him in, and he was
brought up here yesterday. The officers
claim that they have a strong case
against him.
Anthony, alias Babe Curtin, is a
smooth young fellow, and does not have
the appearance of a crook, but he has
history. Many people will remember
the famous Franklin diamond robbery
some years ago, in which the window
was broken and tray containing for
ty<nine diamonds was stolen, and when
the inmates of the store tried to rush
out they found the door fastened. Cur
tin was the one who put the lock on the
door outside, while his pal, man named
Sargent, broke the window and got
away with the diamonds, making his
escape.
Curtin was arrested in Stockton, but
through some mysterious influence got
clear and forty of the stones were re-
turned to the owner.
On December 80 1894, the house of
]. j. Horton, at 1900 l street, in this
city, was burglarized and lot of jew
elry taken. officer Higgins arrested
Curtin on the Sd of January and found
some of the jewelry in his possession,
but he was so young and talked so feel
ingly of his relatives that Higgins put
him upstairs in the Woman's cell.
Handsome" Brady was trusty
then, and while he was cleaning up in
the morning Curtin slipped by him and
Ixyi Iii
and thence to the ground. Higgins had
only arrested him on suspicion, but on
the next day after his escape Mr.. Hor-
ton came down to report the robbery
and identified the jewelry found on Cur
tin as his. officer Hardy arrested Sar-
gent, his partner, on the 9th. Since that
time they have been quietly looking
for Curtin, but without success till now
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dickerson
and Mrs. Longton, her next-door neigh
Dor, came down to the jail and positively
identified Curtin as the man whom the
former found in her front yard on the
day her house was robbed, with Mar
tine. Mrs. Dickerson had a good op-
portunity to observe him. as she talked
with them, and they said they were
looking for man named Thornton

door, and when Mrs. Longton came to
the door she had the opportunity of
getting a good look at him also while
she talked with him for a minute or
two. Curtin was badly broken up
yesterday when the two women recog-
nized him.
After he and MARITIME had gone away,
Mrs. Dickerson discovered that the
house had been robbed, but Curtin and
MARITIME had escaped.
AS the description of the men seen at
the Govan residence and other houses
tallies with that of those who robbed
Dickerson's house, it is pretty certain
that MARITIME and Curtin did all the
work, and it is not to be wondered at
that the burglaries stopped when they
left town
Officers Hardy and Higgins deserve
great credit for their patient shrewd
work, which, it is hoped, will land one
of the sharpest criminals in the State
in the penitentiary, and officer Douglas
has contributed much to their success.

". |. MAYgERRY CONVICTED.
THE CHARGE WAS DISTURBING
THE PEACE.
But He VIII Have to Answer to the
More Serious One of Indecent
Conduct.

w. L. Mayberry, charged with dis
turbing the peace, was convicted in
the Police Court yesterday, and viii
have to answer to a more serious
charge.
M.& A. Ketchum the prosecuting wit
ness, stated that he was told by his
little girl that 'Mayberry had made an
indecent exposure in her presence, and
he pursued and caught him neal
Nineteenth and K streets. When he
first saw Mayberry the latter dodged
back into the alley at Eighteenth street
him. He followed Mayberry into q
saloon and the latter ran out. WheT
witness tried to arrest him he struck
witness and got away.
Ketchum said he pursued him because
his little girl told him that Mayberry
was the man who was acting indecently
last August in that neighborhood.
Special Officer Page said that boy
came to his house and told him thai
there was a man at Seventeenth and K
streets that they wanted arrested. Wit
ness went down and saw Mayberry
break away from Ketchum and run
Witness pursued him, and some young
men tripped him up and witness ar
rested him.
Vorena Ketchum testified to May
berry's conduct. She ran into the house
and told her mother. She recognized
him as the man that last August had
acted in the same manner.
Emma Peck testified that she saw
Mayberry walking rapidly away from
the vicinity of Ketchum's house. She
recognized him as a man who about a
month ago acted indecently in the pres
ence of herself and another girl at the
Sutter Grammar School and ran away
when the Principal pursued him.
Gussie Arendt corroborated the testi-
mony of Vorena Ketchum, and Myrtle
Moore testified to the same effect.
Mayberry testified in his own defense
denying that he had done anything out
of the way or improper He had been
to the Buffalo Brewery and came down
that way in order to see Captain Schoe-
maker, who lived at Seventeenth and
Q streets. He had turned back to dc
so. He denied everything testified tc
by the girls relating to his conduct.
c. t. Hughes, Mayberry's attorney
made the best plea he could under the
circumstances, and City Attorney
Brown made most scathing speech
depicting the defendants conduct and
regretting that the English language
was not copius enough for him to do il
justice.
Justice Davis said he had no doubt
the testimony of the little girls was
true, and that the defendant had been
in the habit of doing what had been
charged against him. He had not ex-
pected that any defense except insanity
would be made. He should therefore
find him guilty.
On demand Of City Attorney Brown
Mayberry was taken into custody on
the charge of indecent exposure at the
Sutter Grammar School.

SHREVD DEFECTIVE WORK.
Officers Hardy and Higgins Run Down a
Dangerous Criminal.
After Weeks of Patient Work They
Capture One of the Burglars Who
Did so Much in February.

Some shrewd detective work has been
done and a clever capture made by the
efforts of two officers on the police
force. who have worked quietly and
patiently for the past six weeks and
bided their time. On February tth the
house of w. A. Govan, at 1412 Eighth
street, was burglarized in the afternoon.
A short time afterward, in the evening,
the residence of Frank Meckfessel, at
Thirteenth and NJ streets, was entered
and the burglars escaped. On the same
night the residence of Valentine Dresh-
er at 1918 K street, was burglarlzed
and about $500 worth of property taken.
On the 9th the house of G. F. Dickerson,
at SIS N street, was entered, and an at
tempt was made on the Sth, in the af-
ternoon, to enter the residence of Will
Bening, at Third and r streets, but
the burglars We're frightened away.
From the description given of the
men by those who saw them at the
Govan residence, which was entered
through the front window in the after
noon, and from various other circum-
stances. Officer Hardy became con-
vinced that a man named MARITIME, an
ex-cOnvict, and his partner, young
fellow named Anthony Curtin, also
known as Babe" and Kid" were the
parties who were doing the work. He
Informed the other members of the
force of his suspicious, but the two
suspected men took the alarm and left
the city.
Some Of the officers thought other
parties were doing the work, and made
some arrests, but to no avail. The
fact that the burglaries stopped when
MARITIME and Curtin left the city con-
ffrmed Hardy's suspicious and he and
officer Higgins went on a still hunt,
in which officer Douglas rendered them
valuable assistance. They gathered in
formation little by little and as a con-
sequence a short time afterward a list
of the stolen property was sent to the
San Francisco police with information
that the suspected parties were room
ing at 315 Stockton street and the 1oca-
ton of the fence" where the stolen
property had been sold. For some un-
explained reason, however, nothing was
done by the San Francisco police until
a private letter, containing the same
facts, was sent to Chief Crowley, with
a request for Curtin's arrest, it hav-

A KANAKA'S FATE.
Drowned in the American River. Near
the Routier Farm.

Drowned in the American River. Near
the Routier Farm.
Word was brought to the city yester-
day that a Kanaka in the employ of a
miner named Walter Kerr, who is now
operating in the American River near
the Routier farm, was drowned shortly
after the noon hour.
A scow containing the mining ma
chinery is moored in the river, and it's
position is changed almost daily. The
deceased. whose name was Peter La
brette, was sent out in a skiff to fasten
a cable farther ahead on the river bank.
He had 600 feet of rope, and it was
coiled in the slSiff, a portion in the bow
and the rest in the stern. Mr.. Kerr had
cautioned him against dividing the rope
in this way but the deceased claimed
that he knew what he was about, as he
had had lots of experience of that kind.
AS the skiff fioated down the stream
the rope was uncoiled. Labrette was
standing in the middle of the boat and
when one coil was exhausted and the
rope was drawn back to the other it
somehow caught Labrette about one of
his ankles and threw him overheard
He was seen to come up once and then
disappeared.
Mr.. Kerr sent word to Coroner Clark,
and a deputy was sent out to recover
the body 1t seems it was still fast to
the rope, but the shifting sands had
already covered it, and six horses were
required to draw the body from the
sand.
Deceased is said to have a brother in
this city.

A number OF carloads Of sulphur
have recently been purchased in this
county. and it is believed that a
market will be soon established which
will make a demand for that article,
equal to the entire output Of this
mining region Although the price is
pretty low it will give employment to
number of miners and teams, and
bring considerable amount of money
into the community.
Over twenty-three hundred dollars
have already been paid out for labor
in this city, on the new Congregational
church. This has been of decided
benefit to the community, and few
more building enterprises would be a
good thing.
