A RUSSIAN CRIMINAL
DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT IN
THE CITY PRISON
Andre Abramoff Is One Of the Cars
Most Desperate Citizens-Es-
capped From Siberia

Detective Goodman learned yesterday
that in the city prison, doing five days
sentence for simple assault, there is one
of the most desperate criminals in the
state. The man Is Captain" Andre
Abramoff, and he, with four other Rus
the island of Saghalien, off the coast of
Siberia, in an open boat, and after
long passage on the open sea were
picked up by a vessel and brought to
San Francisco. There they had the au-
dacity to pose as political prisoners and
ELECTED great amount Of sympathy,
until it was learned that they were all
criminals of the darkest dye, and they
soon commenced their old practices
here. At present four of the five are
serving terms in San Quentin.
A few years later eight other convicts
made their escape from the island in the
same manner and managed to get to San
Francisco. Among these was a man
named Kavalef who took up with
Abramoff, and together they robbed a
saloon near Sacramento. Abramoff en-
tered the place and was unable to open
the till, but got all the whisky and eat
ables he could pack and divided with his
companion, who, however, became sus-
picious and accused Abramoff of hold
ing out the money and took shot at
him with revolver. The bullet struck
a suspender buckle and glanced Off
Abramoff made his escape. He admit
ted this saloon robbery last evening.
The next heard from Kavalef was his
murder of the Weber family near Santa
Rosa, one of the cruelest and most brut-
al killings on record, for which Kavalef
was afterward hung.
Abramoff came here some few weeks
ago and made the acquaintance Of Con-
stantine Cubarkin, Russian Jew, who
has tinkers shop on First street near
Alameda. The tinker helped him along
for time, but Abramoff at last de-
manded $5, which the tinker could not
give him, and one night a week ago
Abramoff held up his friend on the street
and tried to rob him of the money. The
tinker made his escape and Abramoff
was arrested. AS Cubarkin could speak
very little English, he could not make
the seriousness of the crime known to
the police, and the result was that
Abramoff was only tried for assault and
got off with a sentence of five days.
| Yesterday, however, Detective Good
man, who had been working on the case,
| had the man identified as one of the
| Saghalien escapes, and member of
probably the most desperate band Of
men ever in the state. Abramoff will be
tried now probably for highway rob-
berry, and an attempt will be made to
find out what other crimes he may be
held for.
The mans escape and his voyage
across the Pacific in a little open boat
is one of the most striking exploits of the
kind on record, and indicates the des
peraton which animates him. He doe
not feel at all kindly towards Cubarkin
and last evening made the charge tha
he knew the latter in Russia, and asserts
that he is guilty of serious crime and
is wanted in that country. 1t would
apparently, be good plan to sent
Abramoff back to Russia.

Imber Fined $50

Prof Napthali Imber, who was found
guilty of disturbing the peace several days
ago, was before Justice Owens yesterday
for sentence There were no preliminaries
and as soon as the case was called Justice
Owens simply said: Twenty dollars or
twenty days" The professor could have
paid ten times that amount and he coolly
deposited a double eagle on the clerk S
desk, taking receipt therefor. Imber was
arrested for raising a disturbance in the
Chicago lodging house. The severity OF
the fine surprised even the officer, for
it was proved that Imber had been greatly
provoked The prophet of the Kabala,
who is at present engaged in literary re-
searches of considerable value, will be pru-
dent If he removes his habitation from
such unsympathetic surroundings as the
Chicago lodging house and the police court
and pitches his tent in some peaceful val
ley.

A Bad Fall

George McCullum, a young man employed
by the Los Angeles Ice and Cold Storage
company, was seriously injured yesterday
by falling through an elevator shaft. He
was on the first floor of the building and
some one on the second floor started to take
up the freight elevator He rushed for the
car, intending to leap aboard. He missed
the elevator and plunged head-first into
the basement, striking on his head. He
sustained a fracture, a serious confused
wound on the back of the head, a bad hip
bruise, cut over the eye and his right
ear was almost torn off. He was taken to
the receiving hospital where Dr.s Hagan
dressed his injuries, after which he was
taken to his home. His injuries are
serious, but with proper attention they
are not expected to cripple him perma-
nently.

club and Messrs. Sutherland Hutton, c.
l.. Petchner and Councilman E. l..
Hutchison. AS Mr. Towne stepped from
his sleeper he was formally welcomed to
Los Angeles, the mayor being the first
to greet him. The visitors were escorted
to a carriage and were at once taken to
the Van Nuys hotel. They We're much
fatigued by their long journey and the
ladies Immediately retired.
Mr.. Towne fingered long enough in the
office of the hotel to chat with the mem
bers of the committee who followed him
there The Minnesota statesman is
gracious and easily approached. AS a
conversationalist he has few if any su-
periors, but it is in talking of the cause
of silver, which Is nearest his heart, that
he excels. After detailing the incidents
of his journey, he was asked what he
thought of the prospects for the cause
in the east, and, in response to the ques
ton, said:
"The situation in the eastern states,
and especially in the middle west is,
think, most encouraging. In Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky and
other states in that part of the country
there have been many encouraging signs
during the past few months, which show
that the silver cause is growing con-
stantly in the public mind, and we do not
fear the result of again submitting the
question to the people. Kentucky we, of
course, regard as perfectly safe now. but
in Ohio we have made surprising gains,
which cannot but bring good results
in the future.
1T had expected to see In the papers
before this the announcement of the
preparation of an address which is is
sued by the three national committees
which oppose the gold monopoly-the
Democrats, Silver Republicans and the
Populists. Such an address is now al
most ready to be sent out, and it will be
promulgated in a few days. 1t will be
a call to the opponents of the gold mo-
nopoly to stand together, and will show
the reason or the necessity for united
action. There is much Of encouragement
which I might give you now, but I will
reserve that until later. I will say,
however, that there is every reason for
congratulation on account of the strides
that have been made by the silverforces
during the past few months"
This is Mr.. Towne's first visit to CAL
ifornia.
A DISAPPOINTED CROWD
Some three or four hundred people
visited the Silver Republican club last
evening to pay their respects to the
