Murderer Hill Exhorts His
Late Comrades in
Jail.
Remarkable Effect of a Letter
Sent From Hanghan's
Row.
Prisoners Gather Round and Are
Much Affected at the Blunt
Advice.
a.. @

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL)
908 Broadway, Oct. 6.
Murderer Hill, although 1t is not cer-
tain he will be in this world at Christmas,
has already commenced the work of try
ing to save the souls of his late fellow
prisoners in the County Jail. He has
written several letters to his Bible class at
the County Jail, one being to P. D. Nc
Mahon, who was recently sentenced to
five years for a brutal attack on an old
deputy constable of Elmhurst. Hill con-
graduates McMahon on the Iatter's con-
version, and his letter is very suggestive
of the matter which is met with in the
Salvation Army periodicals.
Now it seems that Hill has discovered
the source OF all evils. He tells Mcmahon
that evil thoughts lead to murder and
other crimes and that if man will keep
his mind on the Savior there is no
chahce for the devil TO get in his deadly
work. Referring to the devil, Hill says:
"As L have just shortly been over The
road which you are now star ting on, L
thought maybe few words as to the OBJ
structions which your 'old employer will
put In your way 10 try to discourage and
turn you back would be help to you.
Now, we can't help thoughts goin &
through our minds; what we can do Is
not to stop them Dut just let them go
right through"
c. r. Bennett, the ex-secretary of the
Society for the Prevention of Vice. has
also received a letter written TO "the
boys" Bennett is awaiting the decision
OF the Supreme Court in his case. Hill
tells him that he has always been with
them in spirit every Sunday at the meet
ings, and says 1.-The work at the County
Jail is Just as much on my heart now as
when l was with you in prison. SO you
can be sure that if cannot talk with you
l am praying for you" Hill asked the
prisoner in his letter why he delays
''boaId ding the salvation train when life
is so uncertain"
The prisoners in the County Jail gath
cred around very attentively to hear the
murderer's good advice. The letters were
very impressively read by ex-Secretary
Bennett, and at the conclusion had a
marked effect on the audience. JaiIer
Lane expresses great surprise at the infiu-
ence Hill exercises over the hard cases be-
hind the bars.

IUTRICACIES OF
THAT DECISION
The Water-F ront Boundary
Is Now Troubling
the Police.
General Opinion That the Case
Should Go to the Last
Court.
As It Now Stands the Litigation
Will Be in Progress for
Many Years.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

SUc broad way, oct. b.
Every day some new feature is brought
to light in connection with the water
front, that goes far toward proving that
the Supreme Court decision has not in
any sense settled this complicated ques-
ton.
AS matter of TACT, questions connected
with the water front are much more un-
certain and incapable of solution now
than they were before the decision was
rendered.
The fixing OF a new boundary line OF
the city of Oakland, which is practically
done by declaring that the States prop.
erty commences at low-water mark all
around the estuary and bay, conflicts with
the CITY charter, which provides that the
city of Oakland shall extend TO ship chan
mel. When the case was being led ex-
perts of the Geodetic Survey testified that
ship channel was eighteen feet of water
at low tide, and that in accordance with
this rule the end of the pier was about
one thousand feet inside the limits OF the
citv.
The recent decision declares that the
end OF the pier is about 1890 ieet outside
the city limits. 1t is this special portion
OF the territory affected which is now
! trou bling the police officials Oakland has
always exercised police supervision oves
The pier and has made many arrests at
shat point. Now the question is raised
that they have no jurisdiction outside
low-water mark, and al beyond is either
the county of Alameda or else a portion OF
San Francisco but that it is not Onkland
On the strength of this opinion City At
torney Dow has advised the City License
Collector uot to collect a license fee from
The restaurant-keepersa at the pier, ana if
this applies to the License Department il
applies equally TO the Police Department
The course which will probably be fol-
lowed by the city of not appealing the
ca Sc is growing daily less popular as the
intricacIes of the situation are becoming g
more apparent. The petition for a rehear-
| ing in the Supreme Court, many lawyers
| expect, will not be granted; but several
| attorneys agree that, with the litigation
ending with the recent decision, there will
/ be foundation for lawsuits for twenty
years, owing to the vast difference In the
| shore lines between 1852 and 1897 1t is
daily becoming more strongly the senti-
ment of the people that nothing will be
satisfactory except decision from the
Supreme Court of the United States.
