keep so much money in the house-the
amount after paying for furniture and pi-
ano had been increased to nearly $1,000 by
the repayment to the lady of some loans
she had made to personal friends-and he
suggested that the best place to keep 1t
was the safety deposit company's vault
She agreed to this and gave him the mon
ey. He returned and gave her key which
he said would open the box in the vaults
under the Home Insurance company's
building. He left after breakfast the next
morning, which was on Tuesday, saying
that he would be back on the following
Friday night and remain home till the next
Monday. The poor girl has never seen
him since, and on making inquiries she
found that she had been shamefully de-
ceived, robbed and abandoned.
Too proud to return home, and with her
heart afiame at the dastardly wrong in

HIS RECORD WAS NO BAR
A. G. Vignes Appointed to an
Office by Chief Glass
RESIGNED UNDER A CLOUD
Big Chief Was Well Aware What the
Cloud Was
But Despite the Fact He Restored the nan
to the City Pay Roll-The Bauer.
Bosqui Litigation

A. @. Vignes has been appointed special
policeman by Chief of Police John M.
Glass and has been detailed as guard for
the chain gang. He worked one day in
December and through the month of jan
uary and is at present engaged as an EN-.
ploye of the city.
A. C. Vignes has been in the employ of
the city before. He was formerly police
man and Chief Glass is certainly we'll ac-
quainted with his record, for it has been
before called to his attention in such a
way as to mark upon his mind what that
record is. Chief Glass has, perhaps, for
gotten it though and The HERALD will re.
peat it as told by an ex-member of the
commission.
Some time ago Vignes was a member of
the police force. He had beat in IN, the the
of those despicable characters known as
macs on a serious charge. There was q
little Italian girl who sold flowers to the
women of the district, and Vignes had
caught the party attempting to outrage
the little one. Vignes took the party to
1.-THE pull" commenced work to save him.
Vignes was offered 500 not to appear
against his prisoner. 1t is said that he
accepted. Anyway q charge of indecent
exposure of person was preferred against
the mac and he was released on 500 bail.
He never appeared for trial,an his bail
was declared forfeited.
The sum of $50 having been thus ex-
pended it was claimed that Vignes never
received but $50 of the 500 promised
him.
Anyway. be this as it may, charges based
upon the story above related were filed
against vignes with the police commission.
He heard OF this and resigned from the
force, thereby preventing an investigation.
But all the members Of the commission
know why vignes resigned. So did Chief
Glass and 80 did the reporters
This matter was hushed up at the time
until few weeks had passed by when it
was again renewed. Chief Glass had some
secret work to do and employed vignes
despite all that he knew concerning the
man.
One of the police commissioners learned
that ViRnes was again In the employ of the
police department by the grace of Chief
Glass. He proceeded forthwith to the
chief and informed him that if Vignes was
not Immediately discharged he would re-
vive the charges against him.
Here is one time Mr.. Glass did cave
down the bank, for he promised to dis
pense with Vignes' services at once and
did 90.
But vignes is again on the city pay roll,
placed there by Mr.. Glass, although he re-
signed under extreme pressure, and Mr..
Glass was fully conversant with the facts

Sensational Testimony In the
Holiday Damage Suit

Attorney Hunsacker Says She Is Trying

Motion for Nonsult

There was some sensational testimony

terday, although greater part of the time
was devoted to an argument of the defend
ants counsel for non-suit.
The pretty little plaintiff was the only
witness on the stand, and Attorney Hun
sacker asked her number of very pointed
questions. For instance, he wanted to
know of her whether or not she had ever
had relations with Edward F. Holiday that
were illicit.
At this Mrs. Fannie's face flushed with
anger but before she could put in an an
swer General A. B. Campbell objected on
the ground that it was not proper cross
examination. He said that if matter of
that character was to be brought into the
case it would have to be introduced by the
defense, for the plaintiffs attorneys did

There were really no new developments
in the Bosqui-Bauer case yesterday. It is
understood, though, that today Bauer will
file counter claim to the one put in by
the "Little Chief" against him. There is
only one thing that will prevent The filing
that the gang are making Herculean ef-
forts to pull Bauer down and to hush the
whole thing up. However, Bauer has made
the statement in the presence of four wit
nesses that he does not propose to be
5lackmailed any more. He has given these
details:
He claims that Bosqui was in the service
or the kerckof-Cuzner Lumber company
to keep the lewd women on Alameda
street from invading that portion of the
street near to Macy street. For this serv-
ice he was paid $l26.
Bauer says that after he had finished
this work the "Little Chief" came to him
and said that if he, Bauer, would give him,
the "Little Chief" 500 he would bother
Bauer claims that his wife had given
Bosqui $50, as the Little Chief" was
much feared.
When Bosqui asked for the 500 Bauer
told him he was very hard up and he would
try and fix him and leave check for him
at the police station. Whether Bauer left
the check at the police station for Bosqui
serts that the 500 check on the Farmers
and Merchants bank which he gave Bosqui,
bearing date of July 26, was to pay this
demand of the "Little Chief"
This is the story of the 500 check as
told by Bauer himself. Bauer has I'M
questionably and undeniably been bled
right and left and he has always been re-
garded as a safe man 70 deal with, for he
has treated those who blackmailed him
with great deal more consideration than
the blackmailers themselves have shown
Bauer. However, ever since the time the
license for the Horse Shoe saloon, for which
Bauer had yielded several thousand dollars
in gold coin, was taken from him, Theo-
dore has been very sore and has talked
more thar he ever did before.

exhausted that her voice was scarcely au.
