Suspect Haynes Displays Remarkable
Ignorance Witness.
VISALIA, CAL, June 8.-Little or no
interest seems to be taken in the trial OF
Silas LoYren, the alleged leader of the at
tempted train hold-up at Tagus on the
night of March IS. The first and only
witness called to-day was John Haynes, a
man who did not know the names of the
months, although he knew the days of the
week.
Haynes swore on cross-examination that
neither Mccall nor Britt ever told him
that Ardell or Lovren would come to the
camp and go with them TO rob the South
ern Pacific train. The witness never saw
the sandals, masks or red cloth found on
the body of Mccall, the bandit killed in
the hold-up, until he saw them in court.
On the Tuesday before the attempted rob-
berry the witness quit the plotters because
he was afraid Mccall would kill him.
Haynes said he was honest when he
'jined" the Salvation Army, but his hon.
esty left him after he had the first talk
with Mccall about robbing the train. De
continued to go to the Salvation Army
meetings and pray and sing as usual, but
he was not honest. Lovren told him to
continue to attend the Salvation Army
and he would not be suspected of com
plicity when the train was robbed.

Mrs. de Mooy of San Francisco Seeks TO
Recover Her Child, Stolen Nine
Years A0o.

SEATTLE, WASH, June s.-The recov-
cry of her child, a 10-year-old girl, whom
she claims was stolen from her nine years
ago while she lay on a sick-bed in a Sacra-
mento hospital. is the mission of Mrs.
Ella de Mooy of San Francisco, who ar
rived in Seattle to-day, The girl, who was
supposed to have been the lawful daugh-
ter of James W. Smith, well-known
sporting man, who recently died in this
city, appears in reality TO have been adopt
ed by Mrs. Smith. The child is known as
Isabella Smith, and since the separation
of Smith and his wife about three years
ago it has been an inmate of the Sisters
Academy.
Mrs. de Mooy is invoking the aid of the
law, and declares she will never return to
California without her child. She says
she was robbed of the little one through
the connivance of a brother-in-law resid-
ing at Fresno, her former home. During
these many years she claims to have been
in ignorance of the child's whereabouts.

had difficulty with the elder Shahamarian
over the depredations of goat and the
other, whose name was Peters, had trouble
over business matters. Peters and Shaha-
marian came to blows. This was nearly a
year ago.
Pastor Legler of the Russian church was
seen. He said that whenever he was
wanted at the Courthouse, he would tell
what he knew. He did not know anything,
he said. except the rumors that were
afioat. He seemed to be much excited be-
cause Russians had been suspected of the
murder. At his prayer-meetings nothing
earthly" was spoken of, much less Ben
1amln Shahamarian and the inability of
courts to punish him. As to who the per-
petrator of the murder was, Legler said ne
had not the slightest idea. He was posi-
tive, however, that the crime was not COM
mltted by any Russian or Russians.
The Russians in general say that the
murder must have been the work of Ar
menian enemies, while the Armenians de-
clare that the assassin can be found among
the Russians. A few months ago the elder
Shahamarian had trouble with Russian
named Huben. The Russian, armed with
an ak, pursued him, and Shahamarian
took refuge in his house.

LIEUTENANT PEARY'S PLANS.

Goes to Newfoundland to ArrGn0e His
Northern TOyG0e.
NEW YORK, N. Y, June 8.-R. E..
Peary, United States navy, sailed from
Brooklyn on the Portla yesterday morn
ing to st. Johns, n. F., to complete ar
rangements for his coming voyage to
Greenland. He will return to this city
shortly and ex poets to sail for the north
about July 8.
Peary had intended to sail for England
on June to fill his long deferred engage
ments to lecture before the Royal Geo
graphical Society of London and the Scot
tish Geographical Sociery of Edinburgh,
but he found at the last moment that the
interests of his next Greenland expedition
would not permit him to go abroad and
so his foreign engagements are again post
poned.
a number of scientific men and students
who, for purposes of their own, desire to
visit Greenland, will take advantage OF
this opportunity to sail on Peary's
steamer. Some newspapers have an
nounced that Peary is going north again
to secure the very large meteorite which
he was unable on his last return from
Greenland 10 bring home with him,
fine aerolites that are now in the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History in this
city. This, however, is merely an Incl
dent of his enterprise. Nobody knows
whether his vessel will be able to get
within many miles of the north shore of
Melville Bay, where he found this great
meteoric stone.
Peary's most northern point on this trip
will be Cape Sabin, at the entrance TO
Smith Sound. Turning south again he
will endeavor to push into Jones Sound,
which is very little known, the only ex-
plorer who has ever pushed far into it be-
Ing Inglefeld in 1852.
After he has picked up the parties he
left on the coast he will visit Cum berland
Sound in Baffinland. where DR.. Franz
Boas spent winter among the natives
and if the conditions are favorable Peary
will spend week in Hudson Strait, the
great waterway 500 miles long that unites
Hudson Bay with the sea. The prospects
are that Peary's fourth expedition to
Greenland and his seventh, counting the
auxiliary expeditions which have supple
mented his arctic work, Will be fruitful
and interesting.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 8. - Sheriff Lyn-
don has not relaxed his endeavors to as
certain the whereabouts of Murderer
James G. Dunham. The greater part of
to-day was occupied by himself and corps
in making a review of the situation, in
order that no section of the country
through which the fugitive was liable to
seek escape was left unguarded.
That Dunham was or had been in the
mountains between Mount Hamilton and
Panoche the Sheriff did not doubt, but if
he was still there he believed it exceed
ingly unlikely that he conld escape with
out detection and capture, as the noun
taineers were well posted as to Duham's
appearance and were upon the constant
lookout for him.
On this account the Sheriff did not con-
slider his long and tedious search as either
time or labor lost. He had established
sentinels throughout the mountains who
would at once communicate any informa-
ton received regarding the murderer.
In addition to these he reported Sheriffs
Scott of Fresno County, Bargwardt of
Kern County, Merritt of Tulare County
and Warfield of Merced County as being
upon the hunt in the western foothills of
the San Joaquin Valley.
Sheriffs Holbrook of San Benito County,
Matthews of Monterey County and Ballou
of San Luis Obispo County were reported
to be on guard on the eastern side of the
mountain range. and all had their senti-
nels among the residents.
A large number of the ranchers are re-
ported to be securing the mountains in
the hope of securing a trace of
the fugitive. Sheriff Lyndon, to facili-
tate this search, yesterday decided to
issue 10000 placards containing the two
pictures of the murderer and announcing
the rewards for general distribution.
One thousand of these will be printed in
Spanish and distributed in Mexico and
among Mexicans in various sections.
The reward fund now reaches almost
the $4,000 mark. Chairman M. H. Hyland

SEATTLE SEALER'S COMPLAINT.
Declares That American Revenue Cutters
Give Corporations Monopoly
on FurS.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 8--Captain
Larsen of the sealing schooner Bering Sea,
who has been engaged in the business for
many years, declares that the efforts of the
United States to protect seals have long
been farce He boldly asserts that the
Bering Sea feet of revenue cutters 'stand
in" with corporations, and that meanwhile
the seals are slaughtered and exterminated.
1.-The slaughtering goes on" the cap
tain said, land our Government winks It's
eve. The Alaskan Commercial Company
and the Northwestern Commercial Com
panv have lease from the Government
of islands where the seals breed. While
the sealers are killing few animals out
in the open sea guarded by Uncle Sam s
cruisers these two companies have men
EMPLOYED slaughtering them by the whole
sale on the islands. They say the pups
die because we kill their mothers out in
the open sea, when the fact is that the
hunters ashore, in their merciless exter-
mination of both sexes alike, wound num-
bers of young seals which crawl off and
die.'
"a revenue officer told me it was dis
grace the way the Government was cater
ing to those two powerful corporations.
Why does Victoria get all the sealing
trade? / will tell you. American revenue
cutters watch American sealers like cats
watch mice, and pounce upon them on
eyery occasion, when at the same time

many American schooners swing the
British flag from their masthead.
