And longed for your hands through

Then the sun shone long as an eye that

CHARGED With
CRIMINAL LIBEL
Fremont Older, City Editor
Of the Bulletin, Before
the Grand Jury.
The Evening Sheet Ordered to
Prove That One of Its
Statements Is True.
Judge Campbell Naturally Wroth That
He Was Said to Have Taken
Straw Bonds.

| The Grand Jury spent most of yester-
day afternoon listening to witnesses in
relation to charge Of criminal libel that
has been brought by Police Judge Camp
bell against Fremont Older, the local
editor of the Bulletin.
Sidney Killet was arrested some tim
ago and held in custody on TWO charges
of having burglars tools in his posses
sion.
Judge Campbell admitted him TO bail in
the sum of $1,000, or $500 on each charge.
Chris Newman. who is an expert in the
employ of the Grand Jury, was instructed
10 look into the bond, and after an inves-
tigation reported that Herbert Judge.
who qualified as a surety, did not appear
on the assessmen troll as the owner of the
property he stated belonged to him while
swearing in as surety.
The Bulletin published an article stating
that Judge Cam pbeil had accepted straw
bond IN the case and commenting severely
on the action of OF the police magistrate.
Judge Campbell was naturally wroth,
and wnen the matter was taken up by the
Grand Jury he summoned witnesses to
show that the property that Judge had
described as his own had been acquired
after the assessment roll had been male
up and that the bond was perfectly good.
When called on to testify Judge Camp
bell told the jury that either he or Older
should be in jail.
Ii the bond was not good he wanted
10 go to the jail and if the Bulletin
charges were false he wanted an indict-
ment for criminal libel brought against
the local editor of the evening sheet.
Older and couple of reporters who
were concerned in writing the libel were
called to testify and spent few uncom-
Portable moments explaining their con-
nectioa with the affair.
ExLert Newman was also called in and
told OF his Investigations. The jury did
not decide whether or not to brin.s an in
dictment and may hear more testimony IN
the near future.

WAS a CRIME COMMITTED7
The Police Investigating the Reported
Drowning at the Ocean
Beach.

The police are making an effort to find
who the man is who was supposed to have
been drowned In the surf near the Cliff
House on Sunday mSrning.
Shortly before SUI IVrise on that day four
men in a hack drove up to the Golden
Gate Villa on the ocean boulevard and
tried to induce the bartender of the place
to give them liquor on credit. They re-
mained In the saloon short time and
then went away.
About fifteen minutes later three of the
men came back. One of them was
drenched with sea water, and ne and his
companions said one of their mum ber ran
into the surf and was carried out by the
undertow and lost. The man who was
wet said be ran in after him, but was un-
able to save him.
The hackman told the same story as the
three men he had in his carriage. One of
the men was known TO the bartender as
"Sheeney" Lewis, and they called another
Adam. but the others were strangers. The
three men shortly afterward drove off in

THE SAFE TOO STRONG.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to
Crack That Of August
Pistolesi.
The Burglars Were Novices or They
Gould Have Broken the Anti
quated Box.

An unsuccessful attempt to crack the
safe of August Pistolesi. grocer at 752
Washington street, was made last Sunday
morning.
Pistolesi says he noticed Chinaman
hanging around the store Saturday even
ing and when he asked him what he
wanted received non-committal answer.
The grocer thinks that while be was put
ting out the lights and getting ready 10
close the store the Chinaman sneaked In
and concealed himself. In the morning
the front doors were partially open and
the back door entirely open. Through
this entrance it is supposed that the &C.
com plices OF the first man made their en-
trance.
The burglars were evidently novices in
the art OF safe-cracking, as they were un-
able to get into the somewhat antiuuated
safe in the store. The hinges were taken
off. and the men being unable TO get the
door open, then attempted 10 pound it in
with an ak they found in the building.
When they found it impossible to break
in the heavy iron door they tried to pry
off the top of the safe, but were unsuc-
cessfuI in this also, though they mad e
quite a crack in the safe.
A Chinese woman living in the third
story of the building heard the pounding,
but thought it was an earthquake. The
men took no goods from the store and
seemed 10 be after money alone. Their e
was bout $l00in the safe.
