OFFICER SMITH
 "PARALYZED' Sergeant Conboy Finds a Policeman Dead
 Drunk.
To Be Suspended To-Day. Pending Action by the Po-
 lice Commission.
Accused of Insulting a Woman. Complaint Lodged by a
 SalOOn-Keeper.

His name is Smith. He is a police man and his beat is on Howard street That Is sufficient to identify him.
 He got drunk, dead drunk-in the language of the slums he was simply 'paralyzed." In his maudlin show Of authority he insulted a woman by claiming that she was soliciting, and dragging hoc into a saloon for ident!- fication. This is chapter one of the story.
 Captain Spillane learned of the af- fair through Sergeant Conboy, who discovered Smith in a saloon under the potent influence of the bright red liquor. Policeman Smith was sent home and. according to the police. will De suspended from the force to-day. That IS the end of the story up to date.
 Next Wednesday evening the Police commission will meet. Smiths case will be brought up for adjudication and he will probably be dishonorably discharged-"fired" would be a. more expressive term. In all probability that will be the sequel.
 It was 10 P. M yesterday when Scr geant Conboy learned by a telephonic message from Phil Ryan's saloon, on Howard street, near Fifth, that Officer smith was there and drunk as a
 lord. Conboy, as acting captain of the Southern station in Captain Spill lanes absence. at once sallied forth to investigate. He found affairs as stated and took Smith with him to head quarters at the City Hall. When Cap tain Spillane arrived the case was told him and Smith was asked for his story. He had to admit that he had been | drunk and in no condition to perform his duty. AS regards the case of the woman, he claimed that he thought | from her actions she was soliciting and told her that he would place her under arrest if she did not cease her con- duct.
 "She told me-" he said, with all the gravity he could master, that I was in no condition to judge what anybody was doing and that she would report my case. Then I let her go." Captain Spillane then sent the mar home and will suspend him to-day pending the investigation of the Police Commission.
 If the stories of witnesses are to be believed Smiths conduct was a flag rant violation of duty, as he is accused of dragging the woman into the saloor for identification. Nobody knew her | and that was probably the reason why she was released.
 As the woman immediately disap. peared her name could not be learned She has not made any complaint il person, but will probably do so to-day As matters stand. however. Smith i. known to have been drunk while or duty, and that will be a sufficient, serious charge for him to meet with out anything else.

do or die or go to the hospital. But the goat at last weakened little. It had hurled itself against the hateful door so many times that experts estimated it's spinal column to have been short ened materially. The police captured it and tethered it with a strong rope. Then did the goat bleat woefully, and, between whiles, eat of the restraining hemp. Plainly, the rope couldn't last long. The uproar of the prisoner out side reached the ears of the prisoner inside, and added to his other bangs that of an actual sorrow.
 As a final resort two brave men led the goat away, at intervals the goat varying the programme by leading them, and cached him in a livery sta ble, where at last accounts he was still expressing discontent and giving utter ance to grief.
 And Bill, well Bill sheds tears and pines for the yesterdays when he and his beloved mate roamed in freedom among the uncanny alleys and the tin canny heights of Telegraph Hill.

Strange Story of a Plot to Kill the Much Prosecuted Real Estate
 Agent.

There is a great deal of interest in commercial and real estate circles over the promised revelations of James F. Turner, who will be tried before Judge Cook tomorrow on a charge of grand larceny in connection with gigantic real estate swindles. From the outset Of the many trials and charges against him, Turner has denied that he is in any way guilty of criminal conduct.
 The defendant, who has been ac- cused of all the crimes in the list of real estate frauds, was discharged in one important case by the Supreme Court, while the jury disagreed in the first trial for burglary, a retrial of which begins tomorrow.
 The sensational feature of the pro- ceedings now pending is that the de- fendant insists on forcing his enemies to show their hands and crowd him as far as they intend to do at once. He says he stands ready to prove those who are prosecuting him have turned heaven and earth to shift others crimes on him. He promises revela- tions that will put him in d different light and make his prosecutors stir InefnSelNeS 10 SHOW ludI they are lh- nocent.
 "I shall swear to warrants for the arrest of an Italian barber named J. P. Frenna at once," said Turner last night T charge that he has threat ened my life: that he has lain in wait for me, insulted my brother and tried in every way to put me in a false light. I asked for the warrant on Friday and afterward changed my mind and de- | cided to wait until tomorrow
 It is alleged that the threat was made a few weeks ago near the City Hall, just after Turner had defeated part of an exorbitant claim made against him by one Dement,, note | shaver.
 Turner has been fighting the cases for four years. Those most interested against him are J. P. Frenna, bar Der; Jacob Bertz, proprietor of a res taurant, and l.. c. Megginson, for mer partner of Turner in various transactions affecting lands. Meggin- son is accused by Turner of forging a note of S100,000 against William Mur- dock, a Colusa County rancher, whose estate is now undergoing settlement. Attorney Pillsbury and others are in- terested for the heirs in trying to show that the note, purporting to have been made for $100, 900 in 1877, was originally
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-02

drawn for $100 and subsequently, raised. Turner promises to give some evidence against Megginson which will show that everything is not pure as the driven snow in the folds of the opposition. The chief evidence against him is that of Megginson and his as- sociates.
 My chief contention regarding Frenna, who accuses me of swindling him" said the accused real estate dealer, 'is that he never had any such sums as he claims I got or owed him, for he was in the laundry business in 1887 ard failed, not having a dollar. He opened barber-shop on Polk street, and five years later claimed that I owed him nearly $1S,G00. The truth is he never had any money until made it for him, and then he became an in- grate, as did the other two who are now denouncing me so bitterly
 T propose to make all these people show their hands. I fear nothing that they can do and I feel that they are afraid that the truth about themselves will come to the surface"
 If one-half of Turner's allegations can be substantiated there will be a great sensation before the famous land trials are over. He says he has re- ferred capitalists with whom he has lately been negotiating business mat ters to every part of his history, and that they have traced his movements for twenty years and pronounced his record as a clean one.
 This being the case" said he. "ny word ought to be taken for something and l tell you I can prove that there are men, whom I cannot now name. who have been plotting to ruin me and get my money. In my prosperous days l made good money and there are those who know it. I charge that the plots against me were far-reaching and that murder was in the plans of some of my enemies. I have eyi- dence that, in October, 1894, certain men bought hemn rone on Mnntpor,er,,
