A busy day was spent yesterday by the
police detectives who are engaged upon
the Bellew murder case and they went
about their work with pleased counte-
nances, for both the suspected murder
ers were in custody and the hurry and
hustle was in preparation for bringing
the latest capture, Billy the Kid" who
was apprehended in Tucson. Ariz., back
to the scene of the crime to stand trial
for his life. Detectives Bradish and
Aub,e were in consulta ton for some
time with Deputy District Attorney
Holton. who was preparing the volum-
inous requisition papers. 1t was late
in the evening before all the necessary
documents had been prepared and by
this mornings mail they will go to Sac
ramento to receive the governors sigma
ture. Upon their return Detective Au-
BILE will leave at once for Tucson and
bring back the prisoner.

AN DISSATISFIED THIRST
william Vincent Steals Bottle of Vermutf
and Comes to Grief

u
and Comes to Grief
William Vincent, wild-eyed fellow,
who was evidently suffering from the
effects of prolonged debauch, made
home run yesterday afternoon, and with
in an hour after he had stolen a bottle of
vermuth with which to appease his
unquenchable thirst, had, been arrested
arraigned, tried and sentenced to term
in Jail.
Between and Q o'clock Vincent went
into the saloon of H. ]. A. Stuhr on First
street near Broadway and tried to beg
drink of the bartender, Theodore Tietz
The latter gave him the marble heart
and Vincent paced up and down for a
few minutes until Tietz's back was turn
ed, when he appropriated a quart bot
tie of vermuth, thrust 1t into his over
coat pocket and started for the door. He
had been seen, however, and was over
hauled, being given into the custody Of
an officer, who sent him to Jail
A complaint was Immediately sworn
to and Vincent arraigned before Justice
Rossiter. Announcing himself as
ready for immediate trial the witnesses
for the prosecution were heard and then
Vincent was sworn in his own behalf
He made a rambling statement, aver
ring that he intended to pay for the liq-
uor and was on his way to the front door
to see the bartender when overtaken.
When reminded that he had not cent
of money In his possession he eaid that
he intended getting some down the
street.
Justice ..Rossiter promptly found him
guilty, and. in view Of his evident con-
dition, bordering on delirium tremens.

POPE FOUND GUILTY
The Smooth Tool Thief Convicted on q Petty
Larceny Charge

Larceny charge
Before Justice Owens and jury Fred
H. Pope, the tool thief, was again tried
yesterday on the petty larceny charge
of stealing a box of taps and dies from
the Harper Reynolds company. On
Tuesday Pope was acquitted on SIM
liar charge by jury because Mr.. Har-
per could not swear positively as to the
ownership of the stolen goods. Yes
terday he was not so lucky, however,
for the jury after deliberating an hour
and half returned a verdict of guilty as
charged
Pope is at present doing term of five
months in Jail for a similar offense-in
fact, he and his pal, who made his es-
cape, confined their operations entirely
to the hardware line, and new hardware
at that. They had box about four fee.
long, a foot deep and six or eight inches
wide which was wrapped up in paper
and tied with string like an ordinary
bundle. 1t was so constructed that one
end dropped down by pressing spring,
and the box could be quickly loaded
with plunder.
They operated usually at noontime
when there were few clerks in the store,
one attracting the attention of the at
tendant by making some small pur-
chases, the other meantime going to the
rear of the store and quietly loading
the box. Then they would walk out,
carrying off their plunder before the
very eyes of the proprietor. This trick
was worked with such success that
hundreds of dollars worth of goods were
stolen before they were apprehended.
Popes pal happended to be near by
when the former was arrested, took the
alarm and made good his escape
In appearance Pope is a well dressed,
rather good looking fellow, but he is
said by the officers to be one of the
smoothest crooks in his line in the
United States. He offered no defense in
yesterdays trial, and evidently hoped to
escape in the same manner as the day
before. Upon hearing the verdict of the
jury Justice Owens set Friday at 2
o'clock for the passing of sentence, AMI
Pope went back to the tanks
The herald., 1897-02-11

tors Of the dastardfy deed a creditable
piece OF work has been done.
In contravention Of Warmers state
ment that Brown was the one who struck
the fatal blow the latter is reported as
having made a statement to the Tucson
officials in which, while he admits being
present at the murder he claims he had
no hand in the killing and left Los An
geles to avoid being called upon as
witness. When rogues fall out there is
every chance of Justice being done and
between the courter denunciations of
each other already begun by the negroes
there will undoubtedly come the truth
concerning the whole affair.
CHARACTERS OF THE PRISONERS
Warner, the first captured and now
lying in jail here, Is stout built black
negro, 21 years of age who has scraped
up living in various ways, avoiding
hard work as much as possible. He is
something of a musician and singer, be-
ing possessed Of a strong baritone voice.
During the recent engagement of the
Uncle Toms Cabin company at the Bur-
bank theater Warner appeared upon the
stage in plantation glees and choruses
He plays the guitar, and in company
with several other young negroes has
eked out an existence by singing and
playing around saloons, etc, passing
the hat for what could be collected
Brown, or Billy the Kid is thick
Tipped, repulsive looking fellow whose
ambition 1t Is to- pose as a prize fighter
and all around tough. He is a former
pupil of Joe Cotton and has engaged in
several small mills" in this city and
surrounding towns for whatever purse
could be secured. Muscular and attn
letic, he also avoided work whenever
possible although at one time he was
employed for short time in brick
yard, but found this too combining and
laborious. Although but % years old
he had risen to the dignity of having a
lady" one of the denizens of a low
negro dive, and spent most of his time
hanging around low resorts with COM
panions of his caliber.
These are the two men who, by their
own statements, are guilty of the at

A PRETTY LOVE STORY
Young People From Denver Come to Los
Angeles
And at This q -ctna Green Their Young Loves
Arc Plighted-How They Fooled
the Old Folks

Love will find a way" and distances
are none too great in these days to sepa-
rate the lovers. This is again illustrated
by pretty romance that has just come
to light. That readers of the papers
were not earlier apprised Of the facts
is not to be wondered at when it is con-
sidered that the people much more di
rectly interested did not know of them
until yesterday, when it was much too
late to divert the course of events.
Miss Nellie Louise Cook, Is years old,
a pretty petite brunette, only daughter
of a wealthy and well-known hotel man
in Denver, came to Los Angeles about
a month ago, presumably for her health,
though it was not known then that her
illness was an affection of the heart.
Miss Cook is a cousin to Louis Phillips,
the multi millionaire, who owns the
Phillips block and much other property
in and near this city, and she made her
home at the Phillips villa, in Spadra,
which is this side of Pomona. Miss
Cook became favorite in Pomona So
ciety and made many a young mans
heart go pit-a-pat. They did not know
then that the pretty brunette was al
ready claimed in love.
1t has developed since then that Miss
Cooks parents sent her to Southern CAL
ifornia in the attempt to prevent her
marrying the mar of her choice, VIII
liam Henry Reddell, a blonde young
man of %, dashing and handsome in ap-
pearance, who makes his living as store
keeper for the Denver club in Denver
The only objection the parents had to
Reddell was his lack of wealth. and as
the best means of preventing match
the young lady was sent to her relatives
here, but as they had not written about
the real cause of the visit Mrs. Phillips
did NOT suspect any lovers ruse.
The parents of Miss Cook even hoped
that Reddell was not informed of the
whereabouts Of his inamorata, but they
did not consider the fact that trains
run every day and carry letters to and
fro. Thus it was that regular cores
pondence was kept up between the two
and by arrangement Mr.. Reddell came
to Los Angeles on January goth and
here met Miss Cook. A marriage Ii
cense was obtained on that date and to
lose no time the loving young people
went at once to Rev. VIM. Bennett. of
the Baptist church, at University, and
were married.
The young couple then returned to
Denver but succeededlin suppressing the
fact of their union until they were ready
to go to housekeeping. When the reve-
lation came there was the usual storm,
the angry father declaring he would dis
inherit his disobedient daughter. 1t
looked much as though Father Cook
meant exactly what he said, but an AS
sociated Press dispatch received here
Tuesday evening brings news that the
parents are reconciled and have be-
slowed upon the young people the par
entail and maternal blessings.

tempted robbery which ended in mur-
der Which one struck the deadly blow
has not yet been determined, although
the preponderance of evidence would
seem to point to Brown as the assassin.
A complaint charging them jointly with
the murder has been on file several days,
a warrant having already been served
on Warner while like instrument will
within a few days, be read to Brown
The necessary papers should be back
in this city by Saturday at least, and
Brown will undoubtedly be safe in jail
here by Tuesday night next.
