In December, 1894, Lydia p Wilson
shot and killed her husband, or a man
purporting TO be such. at their home ir
San Francisco, and was arrested and
charged with murder Her actions were
such as to warrant an examination re-

judged insane and committed to Ag-

CAPTURED AT ROSEvILLE.
ARREST OF ONE OF THE CLAY
BURGLARS.
The Silverware Recovered, but
One Of the Thieves Makes
His Escape.

Mrs. S. E. Clay of 172S P street will
soon again have the cherished silver
ware that was stolen from her house
on Sunday evening while she was at
church. Ii their intrinsic value was not
very great, the articles certainly We're
greatly priced, as some of them had
been in Mrs. Clay's family for many
generations.
There were two men engaged in the
robbery. One of them was arrested at
Roseville last evening, but the other
escaped after unloading his plunder in
the roadway.
The capture was brought about by
the publication of the fact of the burg
larry and description of the stolen ar
ticles in the Record Union yesterday.
f. w. Bennett of the Sacramento
Transfer Company, whose run is be-
tween this city and Roseville, was at
his dinner in the hotel there about 8
O'Clock last evening when woman en-
tered The dining-room and began tell
ing of the arrest Of a hobo with a
quantity of silverware.
Mr.. Bennett had read of the robbery
and he went to where the prisoner was
detained and called attention to the
occurrence. Many of the articles bore
the initials IS. Z. c. and he also rec
ognized the gravy ladle from the de-
scription given of it in the Record
Union" Mr.. Bennett was requested to
notify the police department on his
return to town, which he did, and the
prisoner and his plunder will be here
to-day
Efforts are being made to head off
the man that escaped. 1t was he who
carried the silverware in his coat pocket
and when the Constable pressed him
too close he shed his coat and got
away. The one under arrest Will, of
course deny any knowledge of the
burglary, and it will be hard to con-
meet him with it unless he may have
had some Of the plunder in his posses
sion when caught.
But for the publication in the Rec
ord -Unicn" yesterday neither of these
men would probably have been ap-
pretended. The perpetrators of scores
of robberies have succeeded in escap-
ing by the Withholding of the facts
from the press for several days after
the crimes had been committed. If a
crime he committed at night and the
circumstance is published the next
morning the news reaches the wayside
farms and country towns early in the
day and the people are all on the look
out for the criminal.
Too often the facts are suppressed in
order that some officer may possibly
discover the thief in town and get the
credit for his arrest. But the public
are more interested in the capture of
the criminal than in the regulations
of individual officers, and in most cases
the newspapers can be a. great aid to
Justice

The second trial of N. Cippa, who is
charged with having held criminal re-

son, occupied Judge Hart's court yes
terday. The girl was on the stand, and
proved a very obstinate witness. though
on Cippa's former trial she gave strong
testimony against him.
The trial of Ed. Steadman, similarly
charged, was yesterday continued by
Judge Hart until Wednesday and a
special venire ordered.
Mrs. Anderson, the girls mother, took
the stand and surprised the prosecu-

mer testimony and saying that the girl
was over 16 years old. She also denied
that she had testified in more than
one of the examinations in Justice
