THOSE BUNoo CASES
One OF Them Is Dismissed and the
Other Goes Over


Yesterday was the date set for tbe
lrial OF the notorious bunco steerers who
have been attracting so much attention.
or late The district attorneys office
was on hand in Justice Owens court to
prosecute the case and the bunco men
were there with their attorney. ready
TO defend themselves. The detectives
were also present, but the one person
whose testimony was absolutely neces-
sary to secure a conviction, the com
planning witness, had long departed for
other fields.
The first case against P. Newell.
Burke and Starr, for whom complaint
was issued by one Baker. on the 1st of
May, was dismissed. The other, against
Jack Thomas, p. Newell andB. Stewart,
against whom Ed Todson was the COM
planning witness, was reset. Todson's
complaint was issued April 1st, and he.
too, has departed. An effort will be
made to locate him and secure his pres
encc as a witness at the trial. =
Detective Hawley said: I'VE are CO.

witnesses in these cases seem to have
only one object in view, and that is to
get their money back. AS soon as thew

A FIRE FIEND
Tried to Burn His Own
Building
WANTED THE INSURANCE
JOHN VAsALo ARRESTED ON A
CHARGE OF ARSON
An italian Sets a. Second Fire, to His
Place After the First Has Been
Extinguished

John vasalo, an italian, made two un-
successful attempts yesterday afternoon
to burn his cigar and fruit stand at $40
Upper Main street. The place, which Is
not worth over $3.50, was insured for $500,
and the act was committed for the pur-
pose of securing the insurance.
The first attempt was made at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon. Some one near
by saw flames and smoke issuing from
the roof of the fiimsy frame building and
turned in an alarm. The department re-
sponded, and the fire was soon extin-
guished. There were evidences which
convinced the firemen that the fire was
Of incendiary origin. They could not find
Vasalo, who has been running the place,
and reported the matter at police head
quarters.
Officer Rico was sent out to the place
to see what he could find. There was no
one around who could tell anything as
to the whereabouts Of Vasalo, and after
fruitless search the officer returned.
A little later, at about $3.50 ocolck, Dep
uty Constable Joe Mugnemi was pass
ing the place when he found it again on
fire. He hurried to the nearest tele-
phone, about half block away, and sent
in a second alarm. He then ran back
to the place where the fire was burning,
found Vasalo trying to get away. He
Immediately placed him under arrest.
By thie time chemical engine had ar
rived, and the fire was again put out.
Mugnemi brought his prisoner to the
city jail, and after locking him up went
back to where the fire had been set and
made an investigation.
He found box in corner Of the room
which had been filled with papers satu-
rated with kerosene. It is supposed
that lighted candle had been set in ti1!e,
which had ignited the papers when it
had burned down to them. The floor
and walls around the box had also been
saturated with kerosene.
Mugnemi found two insurance policies
for $3.50 each. One was made out by the
Aachen- Munich Insurance company of
Germany, with offices in San Francisco
and the other in the Home Insurance
company of New York. They were both
Issued on the goth of January Of this year.
The interior of the place was pretty
badly charred. If the fire had not been
put out promptly the whole row of frame
buildings south of 1t on Main street
would probably have been consumed. as
they are flimsy affairs and all built
close together.
Vasalo had evidently contemplated
burning the place for some time. as he
had let his stock of goods run down to
where he had hardly anything in his
stand. sThe manois said to be of un-
sound mind, and once, served three
months in an insane asylum.
