troll of the lands or buildings.

Rev. Prichard Arrives to Lead the
First Presbyterian Church
Rev. A. d. Prichard pastor-elect OF the
First Presbyterian church, arrived with
his family on the 1:20 p. m. Southern Pa
cific train yesterday. They were met by

ness to convey them to their new home at

management of the ladies of the congrega-
tion.
Rev Prichard has been the pastor Of the
Arlington avenue church of Brooklyn, N.
T., for seven years. which he built up to
q prosperous and thriving church from a
very small nucleus Judging from an arti-
Gle in the Brooklyn Citizen, which chroni-
cled his last service and his farewell SER
mon, he must have been greatly beloved
by his congregation. He closed his sermon
in the following words: II shall not say
goodby; am just going to another field.
We shall meet again-ir the morning

! ACCUSE I EACH OTHER
GANG or ToUaHs SHOWN UP IN
ALARCENY TRIAL
WHO ROBBED YOUNG DARsT7
Dpv Accuses Haskell Of Doing the job
Another Of the Gang Tells HIS
Tale-The Police Accused

A rsw aide In the case of Albert A. Dow.
charged with having robbed RolEn >.
Darst. on trial in Department one, was
presented by the defense yesterday.
So far the evidence has proved that DOW
and Darst were together on the night OF
the 18th Of June, made memorable to the
latter by a feeling of loneliness the next
day in the place where his pocketpooK'
containing 1855, had reclined the day De-
fore. So much has been admitted by the
defeuse. but that is the extent OF its con-
cess.on.
The witness Haskell, who admitted on
the stand to having hand in the deed IS
the party alleged by the defense to be
the one who committed the crime FOLLOW
ing up this line, the defense placed a num-
ber Of witnesses on the stand yesterday
to testify to the character borne by Has
kell, the mainstay of the prosecution. The
first witness was Alec Burmese. alias
RED" ''Red" is clever IN his way, but
was not above suspicion at the time Oh the
robbery. He was taken into custody with
Haskell and charged with being an accom-
plice of Dow's. He was confined In the
c.ty's strong house nine days without
charge being filed in court against him.
Yesterday he testified that while IN jail
Haskell, who occupied cell next to his.
confided to him that he had committed the
deed, but that Police Detective Goodman
had promised to release him if he would
turn states evidence and "squear' on
Dow. This appealed to Haskell so forci-
bly, that he didn't even hesitate, but ac-
cepted the proposition without murmur'
Several other witnesses testified that
Haskell's character was very bad and that
they would not believe him under oath.
The last witness for the defense was Dow.
who told a story in which he exonerated
himself as much as possible. claiming he
was drunk, and throwing the blame for
the robbery on Haskell. In his closing
statements the police force and Detective
Goodman In particular came in for hot
shot
ION Monday after my arrest" SAID Dow,
Goodman took me to his private office,
and said: Now, look here, Dow. II you dig
up the stolen money I will release you.
replied: Goodman, If I had the money l
would give 1t to you and get out haven't
the money and don't know where 1t is.' To
this Goodman replied: Well, do as you
please; II you don't dig up I will send you
to the pen.'
AFTER 1 was held to answer" continued
Dow, II was overlooked for some reason.
and was confined three days in the city
fail before l was removed to the county
Jail"
After this hot shot Goodman took the
stand and entered a general denial. On
cross-examination. he testified that he was
a native Of Russia and left there when
20 years Of age Several insinuating ques-
tons were asked by defendants attorney,
who tried to make Goodman acknowledge
that he had received some of the stolen
funds.
This closed the taking Of testimony.
which was followed by arguments by Pros
ecuting Attorney McComas The defense
will have its innings today.
