SAN DiEG0'S SENSATION
Startling Charges Filed BY a Business
Nan A3amst Chief of Police
RUSSELL

SAN DIEGO. CAL, June 26.-Charles S.
Hardy, wholesale meat-dealer and one
of the most prominent business men OF
this city. filed a set of sensational charges
against Chief of Police James Russell this
afternoon. Chief Russell was elected TO
his present position on May 4, and ever
since he took Office there has been trouble
between himself and Hardy. Before
being elected Chief. Russell owned and
conducted a private merchant patrol
service, and although now an officer of
the city he still operates the business
through his wife. who is the ostensible
manager.
Two weeks ago Harry Walker, one OF
RusselPs patrolmen, was arrested for the
alleged burglary of Hardy's meat market
He is charged with having stolen large
quantities of meat as far back as April l
ana down to the time of his arrest
Walker Is in jail awaiting trial in the
Superior Court.
In his charges filed this afternoon
Hardy claims that RUSSELL knew of
Walkers THEFT, had known it for months,
and although repeatedly advised of his
employees action neglected and refused to
discharge him from his EN- ploy, but in
stead shielded and protected him from
the law; and further, that Russell was
not only cogn liant of the robbery, but an
accessory 10 it as well. He asks to have
Russell removed from Office, and pending
the examination 20 have him suspended .
The affair has created a sensation.

REDDIEG MURDER CASE ENDS.
Wenoortaer, 'hs Slayer of WIhom
VoseZ, Found Gully of Man
sioUqbfeE

REDDING, CAL, June 26.-The trial oi
A. Weingartner, charged with the murder
of William Yosez at Harrison Gulch last
April, ended to-day at u O'Clock, when
the jury brought in a verdict of man
slaughter, recommending the prisoner to
the mercy of the court. Weingartner' $
plea was self-deiense. The evidence
against him was overwhelming, and a
conviction was inevitable.
Weiugartner, pale and haggard after
his ordeal. of the week, sank into a seat
beside his counsel as the jurors filed int
their places. With a look imploring
pity on his face he eagerly scrutinized
each Juror. At last the spell was broken
and the verdict was read.
As the foreman pronounced the word
guilty" there was hush in the court
room. Then all the emotions that had
been Gagged up in the troubled soul of Il e
defendant burst forth, and sinking nearly
to the floor he wept like child. He was
Quieted somewhat, but was scarcely able
to stand. He waived time and leaned
against the court railing to receive his
sentence.
Judge Sweeny severely censured the
jury for it's finding of manslaughter, and
was especially severe in his remarks to the
seven Jurors who at first held out for an
acouittal.
lie scored the jury for recommending
the efendant to The mercy OF the court,
remarking that WeIngartner had received
all the mercy he was entitled TO when the
verdict of mansiaughter was returned.
He nteneed Weingartner to a term Of
ten years in San Quentin, the extreme
penalty.
The jury was out from O'Clock yester-
day afternoon until noon to-day. On the
first ballot il stood five for acquittal and
seven for conviction. On the Inird ballot
seven were for acauittal and i've for con-
v.ction, and it remained thus until the
last ballot, when, Sin order to prevent the
expense of a new trial" as one of the
twelve men remarked, they compromised
and convicted the defendant of man
slaughter.

FRESNO WIFE EL0PES.
Takes VIII Her An of Her Husbands $
Personal Effects, Even TO Ms
C. ofbi10

FRESNO, CAL, June 26.-E. A. Wolf, q
young clerk employed at Mark Webster s
drugstore, is mourning the loss of wife,
She decamped this morning suddenly and
mysteriously, and, worst of all, Mr.. Wolf
says, she took with her all their house
hold effects. including even his clothing
She did leave him change of underwear.
The wronged husband is Of the opinion
that his wife eloped with a young man
named Daniel Dougherty, who came to
Fresno about two weeks ago. He was the
bill agent of Mrs. Dr. Terry, q medium,
who has been located in this city for the
/ past week or so.
To Dougherty, who is also known as
| Terry, Wolf lays the cause of all his do
mestic infelicities. He says that, from
the information he has gathered, Dough
erty and his wife became acquainted in
| Sacramento, to which city Mrs. Wolf
went on a visit several months ago
/ Shortly after her return home the hus-
band learned that his wife was Carrying
on a clandestine correspondence with a
young man at Sacramento. He inter-
cepted letter containing endearing ex.
pressions to his wife, and which was
signed Papa" With the missive there

the Santa Cruz barber. At present George
f. Plyler, a bill collector. Bismarck n.
Schoedde, veterinary surgeon, and
Henry Bradley, an employe in Plyler's Of
fee, are charged with the crime. The
police claim to have formidable array OF
evidence against these men and to-day
they secured information which may lead
to further arrests.
Plyler and Schoedde were taken to
Santa Cruz this morning, but Bradley,
who Is frightened almost TO todistraction, was
allowed 10 remain in the City Prison here
as the officers believe he can be induced to
confess.
Schoedde and Bradley have already
made partial confessions, and Henry
Loryea, also a negro, has made state
ment that he was approached by PIyler
on Friday and asked to participate in the
crime. The details of the plan to lnlure
Harris were explained to him, and he
agreed to enter into the plot. He went to
Santa Cruz with Plyler on Sunday, the
day OF the deed, put says he did so only
because he wished to have his expenses
paid TO that city. He declares that he did
not have anything TO do with the plot
after reaching Santa Cruz, but was in
formed by Plyler that the deed was PEI
petTated in the office OF prominent Santa
Cruz physician
Scnoedde and Bradley also admit that
they agreed to join Plyler in his diabolical
work. Both say that they weakened upon
reaching Santa Cruz and had nothing to
do with the crime further than partici-
pating in the arrangements.
Plyler steadfastly denies any connection
with the affair whatever, and says it must
be case of mistaken identity. He sug-
gests that one of his eight brothers may
be the guilty person.
A most damaging witness against
Schoedde is his own wife. Mrs. Schoedde
made full statement this morning to
Chief Kidward of this city and District
Attorney Lindsay ana Sheriff Besse of
Santa Cruz. She says her husband told
her several days previous to Sunday that
he was going to commit the deed, and
boasted that he would be well paid for it..
The woman tried to dissuade him from
his purpose, but without avail.
Plyler seems not to have taken ordinary
precautions to conceal his crime, for he is
known TO have approached more or less
directly six persons with a view to OBJ
tanning their assistance. One OF these is
prominent and reputable physician, an
other is veterinary surgeon and County
official OF high standing In the commun-
ily. The others were Bradley, Schoedde,
Loryea and negro named Miller.
The statements of Schoedde, Bradley and
Loryea that the crime was com mitTed in
the office OF a Santa Cruz physician is dis
credited by the positive testimony of
Harris that the deed was perpetraled in
the lodging-house where Mrs. Plyler had
taken rooms for the night.

An Appeal VIII Be Taken and the
Legal Battle to Save Him
Kept Up.

OMAHA, NEBR., June 26.-"It ia the
sentence of this court that you be confined
in the penitentiary of this State at hard
labor for the period OF twenty years and
pay a fine of 1903, 76s 90.'
This was the sentence pronounced upon
Joseph S. BARLEY, the ex-State Treasurer
convicted of EN- bezzlement, by Judge
Baker of the criminal branch of the Dis
trict Court, before whom Barley was
tried.
1t closed the record Of the most noted
criminal trial on the dockets of n e braska
The session of court at which this result
was reached was marked, like all the other
proceedings in this case, by legal skirm-
ishing, invoking all the technicalities
known to the law for the delay of the
progress of justice. The courtroom was
well filled with mem bers of the legal pro-
fession and laymen, and during the prog
ress of the legal battle which marked the
close of this case in the District Court the
most intense interest prevailed.
The entire morning was taken up by the
defense in making a record, motion after
motion being made, some verbal and
others written, and even after the sentence
had been pronounced motion to vaca te
part of the sentence was filed.
These motions were all overruled, and
after these tedious legal formaIities had
all been disposed of sentence was imposed
upon the defendant.
The bill of exceptions for an appeal to
the Supreme Court is about com pleted and
will be ready for filing tomorrow. The
defense is very confident that bail will De
allowed, and that BARLEY will be Iiber-
ated within few days. Attorney-Gen
eral Smyth will at once file with the Clerk
of the Supreme Court objections to ad-
mitting the defendant TO bail
Tonight BARLEY occupies a cell in the
county jail. but is quite cool. He is yet
10 be tried for stealing $500, 0O0 more. The
charge upon which Barley was convicted
was the embezziement of $l51, SS4 As.

was tintype of young man, which
wolf presumed to be that OF him VINO
styled himself Pspa'
Wolf went home TO his wife and accused
her OF corresponding with this man. she
at trst denied il, but when ne produced
the letter and the tintype she admitted
that she had been receiving letters from
him and had answered them.
Of course the drug clerk raised a storm
and be wrote to his wife's mother at Oak
land telling her OF her daughters conduct
ana that he would not support her any
longer. The mother-in-law came down to
see if she could not right matters, but it
seems that she only made them worse
The result was that Wolf ordered her to
leave. She returned home, and after that
Wolf and his wife succeeded in patching
up matters, she having pleaded with him
10 forgive her, which he finally did.
erything went smoothly again until
about week ago, when the husband dis
covered that his wife was again in CORE
spondence with Dougherty. She was re-
ceiYing and sending the letters through q
lady friend in this city, who took them
from and TO the postoffice. This lady
friend, by the way, has left Fresno on
what is purporteG to be visit, but 1t
seems that she, too, suddenly left her
husband.
When Wolf accused his wife Of again
mitted it imm ediately and then became
very much excited. They were in their
rooms at the Hughes block and Mrs.
Wolf seized a vial of chloroform and
drank the contents in an attempt to COM
nit suicide. Wolf quickly called DIR. Coe
and the woman's life was saved. The
husband this tina told his wife that If
she engaged in any further faithless con-
duct he would send her home. In fact
affairs have been very much disturbed in
the family during the week. To aggravate
matters sister of Mrs. Wolf came down
from Oakland a short time ago and she
proved as Intellectual in patching up the
differences as did her mother few
months ago.
Wolf says that he has now learned that
Dougherty was a frequent visitor at his
home while he was al work at the drug
store. This information has been given
to him by other roomers in the lodging
house.
Wolf left his wife in their rooms this
morning shortly after o'clock to go to
work. his wife seem med to be more pleas
ant to him than usual when he lett, but
he had no idea that she was intending to
leave him. At about noon man con-
nected with the lodging-house came down
to the drugstore and notified the clerk
that Mrs. Wolf had levanted. Going to
the rooms the husband found that they
had been stripped of clothing, dishes, fur
niture, and in fact all the household ef-
fects, including even q half-sack of flour.
Mrs. Wolf undoubtedly departed on the
northbound train which leaves this city
at 10 30 o'clock in the forenoon.
How abe succeeded in packing up so
quickly and getting her effects moved in
period of three hours is something of a
mystery.
The wronged husband is taking matters
philosophically, however, and says that
now he does not want his wife back. He
expects that Dougherty will desert her in
Jew weeks and that she will then want
to return 10 him, but he is determined
that ne will aot take her back.

Pattison Building and
Contents Consumed
by Fire.
Heavy Loss Supposedly o.
casioned by the Crime of
an Incendiary.
Prevents the Sounding of an
Alarm by MuffIIng the
Firebell.

FRESNO, CAL, June 26.-The town OF
Sanger, situated on the Porterville branch
of the Southern Pacific, fifteen miles south
of this city, was visited by FIRE about
midnight last night and the principal
business block now lies in ruins. The loss
amounts to $50, 900, which is covered by an
insurance of $50, 600.
The building was owned by I. N. Patti.
son. IT was a two-story brick structure,
the upper floor being occupied as q
lodging.house. The loss is divided among
the following: I. N. Pattison of San Fran
cisco, owner of the building, $4,000; FL
more Brothers, drugstore, $4,000; Gaudrau
& Dirvin, BARRIERS, $500; Rodgers Brothers,
saloon, $500; n. HELEN barger & Ingels,
grocery, $4,000; g. F. Bemis, ieweler,
$500; William Bar, $3.50; Lafferty Il Sons,
restaurant, $4,000.
This is the second time the Pattison
block has been burned. About three
years ago 1t was destroyed by fire. 1t was
rebuilt Immediately. 1t is a valuable
property. bringing its owner $500 month
in rents. 1t is believed that it will be re-
built a second time.
Constable Irvine arrived from Sanger
to-day and expressed the opinion to THE
CALL correspondent that the conhagration
was of inoendiary origin. He said that
shortly after the flames we're discovered q
in the grocery-store there was deatening
explosion, which knocked the timbers
and glass of the front into the street. A
few nights ago an attempt was made to
fire the block occupied by Kutner d Co.,
across the street from the Pattison block.
Last night, when the iremen attempted
20 ring an alarm, they found the bell
muff1ed, which points s9most conclusively
to incendiarism.
It was only through Ghe most energetic
efforts of the tiremen that the adjoining
buildings were saved. The town has only
a small chemical engine. but it was put to
effective service. Wet sacks were also
used o great advantage,
A mum Der of men who were sleeping in
the upper story of the Pattison building
had narrow escapes with their lives
heavy wind was blowing during the con-
fagration, and cloud Of sparks dropped

citc depot For a time it seemed that this
building would be destroyed. Division
Superintendent Burkhalter of the South
ern Pacific, who was in this city, dispatched
two locomotives equipped with pumps
and fire hose to Sanger to assist the fire
department. but by the time the engines
arrived The flames had ubsided.
