SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.-Captain
Lees added a notch to his record yes
terday when, after four days of search
w. Winthrop, behind the steel bars
and heavy doors of the City Prison.
He has piled up enough evidence, more
over, to make matters look dubious for
the captive, and has followed out the
clews so well that the capture of Pete,
the man of the mask and revolver, is
said to be the next step in this singular
case of crime
Winthrop was captured by Detective
Cody in Oakland yesterday morning,
and he was taken to the City Prison
in San Francisco before noon. The
arrest was made on Sixteenth street,
near San Pablo avenue, and it is be-
lieved that Winthrop had been to the
Postoffice a short time before and was
then preparing for an early flight from
the State. He had a ticket for Mojave,
bought on Saturday, and was waiting
only for final word from his family.
In case of alarm he was prepared for
instant departure, and the Chief of De-
tectives thinks he meant to fly last
evening.
Soon after his man had arrived, Lees
served on him two bench warrants, and
at 4:3O D. M had him taken from the
detectives room in the City Hall to the
City Prison, and there formally charged
with robbery and assault with intent
to commit murder. Winthrop was cool
and unconcerned, but there was ner
vous twitching of his clean-shaven lips
which betrayed his emotion and dis
tress. After being booked, he asked
to be put in the same cell in which he
had been previously confined, as he evil
IDENTIFY thought it would again prove
to be put in the same cell in which he
lucky. He will be arraigned Friday.
When Campbell was brought into the
room with Winthrop the prisoner in
quired casually of his Hawkshaw visa
Wis who's that?"
And then the Hawaiian patriarch,
lifting his hand dramatically, said
L
man. That is the man."
Winthrop did not finch. Instead he
cooIly bit piece from the plug of to-
bacco he carried.
When interviewed his first state
ment-in fact, the sentence that alter
mated with every other one-was, i've
nothing to say"
II. w. Matthews, the attorney who
defended him successfully on the muir
der charge before, had talked with him
and he had taken his warnings to
heart.
I'm as mum as an oyster until my
attorney releases me-" he said.
''Yes, 1 know Campbell he said, in
response to a question. I've seen him
twice"
"Have 1 spoken to him? Well, yes;
once"
The name of Donald Archibald Ur-
guhart has been connected with the
Campbell kidnapping affair, but Captain
Lees processes to believe that there is
nothing in it" The condolences are
strong enough, however, to provide
basis for rumors that the young min
ing mans connection with the case did
not end with Winthrop's invitation to
assist in the abduction business.
The friends of Campbell are Indlg-
nant of the reports that he is given to
going on sprees and afterward tells
marvellous stories of being kidnapped
and robbed. They denounce these
stories as part of the plan OF the de-
fense of Winthrop.
Fred Wundenberg, a well-known Ho-
ro1uIu man. who was formerly Post
of the Hawaiian Gov
ernment, said yesterday: i cannot un-
derstand why these stories are clrcu-
