left shoulder and stood with his right

Hoff was taken back to prison and
locked up. He was measured and found
to be just feet 6lA inches tall.
AT midnight the police had no new
discoveries to announce in the circum-
stantial evidence they have been find
ing against Albert Hoff. The authori-
ties are so thoroughly convinced Of
Hoff's guilt that they are not looking
in any other direction for d possible
murderer. Little attention has been
paid to Hoff's statement that just prior
to his departure from Mrs. Clute's
rooms a stout. well-dressed stranger
who was apparently on friendly terms
with Mrs. Clute called upon her, and
that this stranger remained after Hom

flesh Of CircumStantial Evi-
dence From Which He
Cannot Escape.

San Francisco, Dec. 17.-Albert Hoff,
the upholsterer. now in custody. is be-
ing involved in a mesh of circum-
stantial evidence. from which it will
be difficult to extricate himself, and
the police believe that he win surely
be convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Mary A. Cute, who was beaten to
death with a coupling pin in her fat
at 500 Guerrero street, Wednesday af-
ternoon last.
Albert Hoif feels that he is in peril
of his life, and is as nervous a man
as the officials have had in charge
for long time. His cellmates in the
city prison say that he slept little last
night. He walked about the cell the
most Of the night, and when lac lay
down he was restless and i'll at ease.
About o'clock in the morning he fell
asleep, but awol1e again in an hour
or two and resumed his pacing to and
fro.
This morning the prisoner was taken
in Judge Joachimsen's court for ar
alignment. He was permitted to change
has coat and to put on another pair Of
trousers. Els hands shook violently
as he removed and donned his gar
ments, and there was a furtive, scared
look about his eyes. He was escorted
to the court room by two officers and
placed in the dock. When his case was
called, Walter Gallagher appeared as
his counsel
HOm was taken from the dock to the
desk of the judge, and when asked
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-18

there is any truth in his statement,
nothing has been deducted to give a
semblance CT probability to the story
Hoff has undoubtedly prejudiced his
case by talking too much and too
wildly but his attorney has now sealed
his lips, and the accused is not likely
to involve himself in any more damag-
ing contradictions.
The police claim to have evidence in
their possession that the prisoner has
little regard for womanly honor They
even promise that they will produce
witnesses who will state that Hoff had
boasted to them of how he had taken
advantage Of women in whose houses
he had been called to do some wors.
as an upholsterer, and of how such
women had refrained from causing his
punishment because of the unpleasant
notoriety it would bring upon them.

redemption of bank notes, Mr. Gage
said this was merely to make clear
the same pledge as the government
notes
He does not agree with the ohiec-
tons suggested that the 10 per cent
deposit required Of the banks by this
section and the ? per cent tax, on them
Tor 2 safety fund would make it IN
profitable for them to issue circulation.
Ihere were other advantages secured
to them which offset this objection.
The purpose Of section 8, providing
that issues OF national bank notes shall
pc IN denominations above $40 was to
give the government the monopoly on
all small bills, in most common use
When section 10, providing for the
redemption of bank notes, at the New
DIRK sub-treasury and other desig-
mated points was reached Mr.. Cox
asked MI Gage why he did not specify
that the redemption should be in gold
or other legal money
WANTS FULL SWING.
The secretary answered that the less
discretionary power imposed on an
executive officer in the execution of a
principle, the better; for sometimes
executive officers have indiscretion and
do foolish things. Moreover. this dis
erection existed now
When the remainder of the bin had
been reached, a general discussion be-
san. In answer to crOss-fire Of
questions Mr.. Gage said the bill could
not result in a raid on the treasury by
bank notes. Ii was not the substitu-
ton OF an endless chain of green
backs for another endless chain" of
bank notes The banks would have
n WnHDnV-a ia
would be 70 their object TO do so or
they would be closed But so long as
dollar of demand obligations was
outstanding, so long this endless
chain" would go on.
IMPORTANT STEP.
He said: This bill is simply a step
in the right direction and a most i'm
Dortant step. It would save the gov
ernment 1925, 100000 of the very ubili-
ties which are most likely to be
brought against it. OF this, $125, 900 600
is i'm gold Then with the further
measure, recommended by the presi-
Sl0o,000,000 when required, the govern
ment would be so strong in time of
emergency as to resist any stress"
no DANGER OF SILVER.
Mr.. Brossius asked if the secretary
felt that the bill would obviate any
probability Of the country's being
forced to q silver basis?
The secretary thought it would, be-
yCnd question.
Suppose the next election should
bring in a house of Representatives
favorable to free silver?p asked Mr..
Fowler (Rep.). and a free silver bill
was passed by the house and by the
senate. Between 1898, when this free
silver measure might be passed by
congress and 1900, when the advocates
CT sound money returned to power,
could the country go to a silver basis?
Mr.. Cages answer brought a round
of laughter and applause
In view of the absolute certainty of
a presidential Veto, said he, u think
we could pull through"
This closed Mr.. Cages hearing and
he was given a vote Of thanks Several
members sought to have another hear
ing during the holidays, but there was
a strenuous objection to this, and the
original plan was adhered to, of adj
journing until Jan. -, when the Gage
bill, the monetary conference bill and
other measures will be taken up.
