After two weeks of untiring effort on
the part of the detectives and police of
this city the murderous assaiIants of
Isidor Goulet of 1911 Golden Gate avenue
on Septe m ber % have been run to earth.
Bert Gray, the last to be caught, was
taken into custody at the Mare Island
Navy-yard. where he is now in irons on
the warship Monadnock, upon which he
had enlisted as sailor.
The personnel of the murderous crew
was: Bert Gray. 20 years of age, and the
prime mover in the job; Charles Kelly, 19
years of age, and George Rowe, l6 years,
and big and stupid for his age. Kelly
and Rowe are also in custody and have
been for the past three or four days.
Goulet is still in great danger. After
the assault the three separated and met
on OpFarrell and Dupont streets later in
the evening, when they divided the plum
der, which consisted of a purse and $6, a
watch and part of the chain, Iocket charm
and several other small articles of value.
Captain Bohn and Detectives Ed Gibson
and Wren have recovered all of these, eX-
cept the watch and money, the robbers
having sold their plunder south of Market
street for less than SIS.
On the following day Kelly returned to
his home, where he was arreste d, but there
being no proof of his guilt at that time he
was released, but subsequently rearrested.
The fight or Gray and Rowe ana the
pursuit by the police. under direction of
Chief Lees and Captain Bohen, is de-
cidedly interesting. Rowe and GRAY stole
wboat from the foot of Fillmore street
and crossed the bay TO the Berkeley side,
where they abandoned the boat because it
leaked badly.
Near Berkeley they stole a sailboat and
that same day found them well up the
pofa
Tue re they hid in the thick tuies and
Gray, desiring to get rid of such soft fell
low as he knew Rowe to be, sent him into
San Rafael to get some money from a
friend. When Rowe returned to the tutes
he found Gray and the boat gone. Rowe
made his way back to this city the next
day and tell into the clutches of the DO
lice.
All this time the police were not idle.
Officers Livingstone and Floyd, who knew
Gray, were dispatched up the Sacramento
River in saiboat and they searched
every creek and slough to Sacramento,
where they received instructions TO go
over 10 Stockton and come down the San
Joaquin on similar search, their destipa-
ton being Vallejo. The officers made a
remark ably quick trip and last night they
telephoned 10 Chief Lees that they had
located Gray at Mare Island, where he had
enlisted as a sailor in Uncle Sam S navy
and had been assigned 10 the Monadnock
Admiral Kirkland was informed of
Gray's crime and the d. sire of the detec-
tlves to arrest him, so the young criminal
was placed in irons to await ( g arrival of
the warrant from this city. Last evening
Judge Conlan signed two warrants. one
for assault to commit murder and one for
robbery. Detective Wren will go to Mare
Island, and with Livingstone and Floyd
will bring the criminal back to-day.
The detectives place all or nearly all the
m bot bo
the other two fellows as his tools. In
connection with this assault and robbery
there is an interesting feature GRAY had
managed to work himself into the GOOD
graces of Goulet's niece, and shortly be-
fore the robbery she mentioned that her
uncle was careless with his money and
usually carried a considerable sum with
him. 1t was this knowledge that no
doubt prompted the young fellows CUPID
