THIEvING PEDDLER.
He May Prove to be One of the In-
dustrious Burglars.

About $3.50 o'clock on Friday morn
ing stranger entered the barroom of
the State House Hotel at Tenth and
K streets and showed credentials of
good-fellowship by shaking dice with
the man behind the bar.
1t then occurred to the stranger that
he was in need of a messenger boy, and
on making inquiries concerning one,
was referred to the telephone. The
State House telephone closet opens into
the baggage-room. and after having
ordered messenger boy the stranger,
realizing that winter was near and that
an overcoat and an umbrella might
soon come handy, explored the bag
gage-room and selected a greatcoat be-
longing to j. Wright, and then at
tempted to find his way TO the street
by the back door. which was locked.
He next tried the back stairs, but in
the end was obliged to come out the
way he Went in. Again he stopped and
threw the dice with the man behind the
bar, having the stolen coat, with the
umbrella wrapped in it, over his arm
at the time.
Officer Greene was standing at Tenth
and K streets when the thief appeared.
and few moments later it davned up
on the bartender that when the stran
ger went TO the telephone he had no
overcoat. Officer Greene was notified
Of this, and Immediately gave chase to
the man, who had turned into Ninth
street toward l.. When the officer
reached Ninth street nobody was in
sight, so he ran down to l. street and
stood moment, when ne saw a man
with an overcoat slung over his arm
enter l. street from Seventh.
Greene followed the quarry down T.
street until he entered Welch's saloon,
between Third and Fourth. Greene fol-
lowed him in, and realizing that he
was the same man whom he had seen
come out OF the State House barroom.
arrested and lodged him in Jail.
Yesterday morning the stolen prop
erty was identified and the thief, who
gave the name of William McCarty
and said he peddles soap and powder at
residences for a livelihood, expressed a
desire to plead guilty to a charge of
petty larceny.
The City Attorney, however is in
clined to believe that the crime com
mitted constitutes burglary, and in
stead of six months in the County Jail
McCarty may find string of years in
the State Prison awaiting him.
The police believe that McCarty is

WORDEN SAYS He HAS NOT.
DENIES MAKING ANY CONFESS
SION AT FOLSOM.
The Condemned Train-Wrecke1
Says the Recent Story is
a Fa1sehood.

A rumor is going about to the ef-
feet that Salter d. Worden some time
ago made a confession of guilt in con-
nection with the Yolo train-wrecking
affair of which he was convicted and
is now under sentence of death Re-
ferring thereto the San Francisco
Post" last evening said:
''Salter d. Worden has made no con-
fession.
In order to impede the movement in
the condemned mans behalf, enemies
of Worden have industriously circu-
lated the statement that since he has
been confined in the penitentiary at
Folsom he had made a confession.
" Don't do anything for Worden,'
they said, for Warden Aull has full
confession from him, made when he ex-
pected to be hanged, and it will be pub
lished after his execution
The truth of the matter is that Wor-
den wrote farewell letter to his
mother when he expected to be hanged.
He left it in the hands of the prison Of
ficials, to be delivered after his death,
but not to be opened. When his eXecu-
ton was stayed they opened the letter,
expecting to find a confession, but it
did not contain a single admission OF
an discriminating character.
THE statement that Worden had
made a confession had reached Gov
ernor Budd, and was repeated by him,
so Attorney Montieth Immediately
wrote to Worden, asking him if he had
many any statement of any kind. This
morning he received the following re-
ply:
In answer to your question in your
letter asking me if / had ever made
any statement or confession to any one
in this prison since / have been con-
fined here of my having been present
or of having been connected in any

Since my confinement in this prison,
November 26, 1894, / have never held
any conversation with any person in

One Stable.

Tn racing circles it is understood that

OF late the horses have been divided
np among different stables, under lease,
but this has been changed. Referring
10 this matter, the San Francisco Bull

''W. B. Jennings was down from Sac

membered that Mr.. Jennings brought
no Rancho del Paso a carload of horses
from New York, and when he arrived
ht was announced in the Bulletin that
the big Sacramento concern would fit
him out with stable for the California
tracks. The announcement was con-
frmed by Mr. Jennings himself yester-
day.
. i will ship down to IngleSide about
fourteen horses in a few days. said he.
I'VE are now selecting them at Sac
ramento, and it will be a spell before
We will exactly know what the stable
will be composed of. However, it is our

short spell ago.
