was taken. 1t seems that pretty nearly
every man who had been in the hospital
was summoned to appear before the
court. The only company that gave UNI
favorable testimony was Company l.,
and the testimony in the case of this
company was rather i'll the nature of
complaints than facts. Captains Glib
son and Wagner were the chief prosecu-
tors of the hospital management and 1t
is understood that it was mainly on ac-
count of representations by them that
the investigation was asked. The YER
dict of the court will probably not be re
turned before Monday as it will wait
for the evidence to be transcribed. 1t Is
certain. however. that nothing calling
for censure has been revealed.

What the Officers Say They Have
Learned Of His Career.


Joe Martin, alias John Burns, alias
the Curly Kid" was arraigned in
Justice w. A. Henrys court yester-
day afternoon on a charge of robbery
and his examination was set for Thurs
day, October 18th.
Martin it is alleged, is the fourth
man in the japanese robbery case near
Brighton of about six weeks ago.
The prisoner is about % years old,
but claims to be no more than 10. He
is somewhat taller than either of the
three other robbers, all of whom have
already acknowledged their participa-
ton in the crime, and one of whom is
now serving a twenty-five-years' term
in Folsom Prison.
Martin is evidently a confirmed
opium fiend and although young III
years, has seen considerable of the in
side of different County Jails.
He claims to have been brought up
in Sacramento, giving his former resi-
dence as Fifteenth and o streets, and
later claims to have lived near Sew
enth and f streets. He says that he
left here three years ago for the first
time. but Sheriff Johnson and Detective
Max p Fisher who have investigated
the prisoners antecedents, say they
have learned that the Curly Kid" left
here in company with Robert letter
ston. an incorrgible youth. about five
wears ago, and after beating their way
over the State on freight trains, Mar
tin was arrested in San Jose for bur-
glary. The District Attorney, owing
to Martins youth allowed him to plead
guilty to petit larceny and he was SEN
fenced to three months in the County
Jail of Santa Clara County under the
name of John Burns.
The picture taken of Martin then
shows him to be a full-faced, healthy
looking boy with rather innocent ex-
preston of face, and the ravages OF the
opium habit clearly show it's effects
upon his face to-day.
They state that the next to be heard
from Martin was when he was confined
in the County Jail of Fresno, again
charged with burglary, and the w1ndup
of this crime was San Quentin, from
which institution he was released on
May %, 1898.
Martin is a great admirer of Charles
Walker. alias Tone" Leroy, one of the
two opil1m fiends who robbed two Jap
anese and nearly killed E. c. Croly on
March Doth of this year. Tone" as he
is called by his fellow convicts, 1t VIII
be remembered, was sent to San Quen-
tin for life by Judge Hart end since
his arrival there and up to the time or
the Curly Kids" discharge from that
institution, Martin and Tone" became
chums and loud and long are the
praises the Curly Kid" sings for
Tone"
He rates Tone as a dead game man
who would rather do" life than con-
TESS, or squeal on PAL and strange
coincidence might be stated in connec-
ton with this affair. Leroy and Sea-
right formerly occupied the same room
in a lodging house of San Francisco,
that afterwards was occupied by Karl
Rolf and the prisoner and in which
room Rolf was arrested.

SENSATION IN SONORA.
Officers Believe That a Murder Was
Committed.

A correspondent of the Record
Union" writing from Quartz. says that
there was quite a sensation in Sonora
on Tuesday morning over the finding
in the tenderloin district, of a Ratchet
and a derby hat, the latter cut through
the top as if it had been cut BY the
Ratchet. Both Ratchet and hat had
blood, brains and hair sticking to then,
There was a pool Of blood where a body
had evidently laid. From the appear
ance of the ground it looked as if the
body had been dragged about twenty
feet and then picked up and carried
away
Sheriff Price has the case in hand
and is making a thorough investiga-
ton. A few of the citizens think It is
a practical joke, but the officers believe
a foul murder has been committed ard
are working, on that theory.
