The Rape fiend Convicted of
Only Simple Assault.
THE EVIDENCE Insufficient
Judge Smith Takes Occasion to Talk
Very Plainly
peution for Probate Of VIII Of Charles
L. Ducommun FlIed-Other Pro.
bate Hatters-Oeneral Court News.

Jean Renault, the rape fiend, was yes
terday convicted in department one be-
fore Judge Smith, of simple assault.
Renault was charged with assault with
intent to commit rape on an 11-year-old
girl named Henrietta de Kersanson, at
Manhattan station, in January last. 1t
was shown that Renault took the child,
with her twin sister, on his lap, and at
tempted familiarities with them, but
did not accomplish his purpose. This
being the case, only simple assault
could be proven. After the verdict, and
when the attorney was attempting to
argue for leniency in Renault's behalf.
Judge Smith took occasion to speak
very plainly from the bench as to the
man and his crime. He said that he was
sorry that he could not send Renault to
the penitentiary, where he belonged, as
1t was only a matter of time before some
other outrage was committed. Renault
will be sentenced on the Goth, and will
probably receive the full limit.
This is the third time that Renault
has been before the court on a similar
charge. On the first charge he escaped.
but on the second he was convicted and
sent to San Quentin. The man is be-
lieved to be q monomaniac, and when
released will, in all probability, repeat
his crime.

them enter a house on Main street
Hear the vicinity. They were absent for
several hours, and when requested to
furnish an explanation, said that they
had been enjoying themselves at d

suspending Ditwig and Woodward was
sustained. The charges against the
men will be formally inquired into at
later date

ACCUSED OF FORGERY
Passed Check Upon . Saloon r1an Which
Was Bogus

Detective Bradish made an important
capture yesterday morning, when he
took into custody young man about Is
years OF age named H. o. Gilmore. The
man Is accused of forging a check for
$23.50 drawn on the First National bank
and purporting to be signed by Easton,
Eldridge & Co. Last Saturday Gilmore
presented the paper to Charles Ber-
nard, who runs the saloon formerly
conducted by Fred Czarske. at 122 West
InHu street. 1t was cashed, but on
Monday, on presentation at the bank
payment was refused, as the firm runs
no account at the bank named; and,
besides. the signature was a palpable
forgery. Bernard brought the check
TO headquarters, and Bradish was put
upon Gilmore's trail. He and Detec-
tive Steel tracked Gilmore from
place to place during Monday evening,
but could not get him, he keeping Just
a few minutes ahead. Finally he was
located in his room at S11 South Main
street, where he arrived at o'clock in
the morning. At the officers arrived
and arrested him. In explanation OF
his having passed the check, Gilmore
said that it had been given him by
Charles Shattuck, one of Easton, Ed
ridge & Co.'S agents. as commission for
the sale of a lot. When confronted by
Mr.. Shattuck he still stuck to his story.
even when the latter positively denied
ever having given him any check Tic
signature is clumsy job, and the
check Is made out upon blank such as
is never used by the firm, they hay
ing their own private blanks. 1t was
made payable to II. 0. Gilmore, and the
writing in the body of the instrument
is Identical with Gilmore's endorsement
on the back. Neither Easton, Eldridge
4 Co or Mr.. Shattuck carry any dC-
count at the First National bank.
Gilmore claims to be carpenter and
has had some dealings with Shattuck
in figuring on the construction of a
house. He has been drinking heavily
and this may have been the cause for
his passing the bogus check. A charge
of forgery will be sworn to against him
and he will be arraigned today before
Justice Owens in the police court The
officers claim that Gilmore served q
term in the city Jail not long ago on
some minor charge. carrying concealed
weapons.

The most important news brought
by the Kinau was to the effect that
the volcano had broken out, and
was in a very active state when
the steamer left the big island.
According to passengers by the
kinau, the fire appeared in the
volcano last Friday shortly before
midnight. The illumination could
be seen plainly at Hilo. Eleven
hours after the fire made its ap-
pearance, the lake rose 500 feet,
and within 200 feet of the top, oc-
cupying an area of 250x200 feet.
This would make the lake about
the same size, or larger, than when
it fell in on December 10, 1894. Since
that date smoke and steam has
been constantly issuing from the
hole in the ground until December
9th of last year, when fire appeared
in one corner of the pit for a few
hours and then disappeared.
All Hawaii will be more than
pleased to hear of the good news
about Kilauea. The presidential
party and tourists that left by the

witnessing the volcano in as active
a state than ever before.

ary 4th, sends the following about
Madame Pele:
Latest news from the volcano is as
follows: Activity began Friday night,
| the Sd inst, at 11;30 p. M, and caused
q rise of about 200 feet in the lake that
night. Since then the lake has been
rising gradually and activity is be-
coming greater. Mr.. Lee thinks the
| lillumiDat might have been seen at
Hilo. The lake is at present about
200 feet wide and $50 feet long. From
the floor of the crater to the surface OF
the lake it is probably $50 feet.
