THE KOVALEV REWARD.
It Begins to Look as if Nobody
Will Get It.

Who is to get the reward that was
offered for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer of Mr.. and Mrs Weber
in this city a few years ago? Chief of
Police Lees-then Captain of the de-
tective force-thought he was entitled
to 1t, or al least he tried to so con-
vince the court, but il was denied him.
Then it was taken for granted that
the man who supplied the information
on which Ivan Kovalev was apprehend-
ed and convicted would surely get the
reward. That man was Nladislau Ia
krewski But Judge Hunt of the San
Francisco Superior Court has decided
that he is not entitled to the money, and
Chief Lees did all in his power to Sc
cure that result.
The court found that some bits of
evidence were furnished by others than
Zakrewski, but the fact remains that
these scraps of information We're Of
very little use. and that 1t was Zakrew-
ski that informed Lees who was the
murderer. and that it was he who vir-
tually turned Kovalev over to the Off
GER
The question now is, Who is entitled
to the reward if neither Lees nor Ia
krewski have any claim to it?
