Detective Cudihee. in accordance with a
request sent to Chief OF Police Reed by
Chief Lees. OF San Francisco. was dis
charged from custody by Judge Jacobs
in the superior court yesterday morning.
because copy of the warrant had not
arrived. Schwartz was Immediately rear
rested on a warrant sworn out Saturday
manned in the county Jail last night in de-
fault Of 1.5o1 bonds.
The proceedings We're marked by a Wig
orous attack by Judge Jacobs on the po-
lice. during which he intimated that the
court had not been treated right; that
there was no warrant in San Francisco for
Schwartz arrest. and that the police
are the worst law breakers in the town.
Yesterday morning the Post-inteligen-
Ger told the story OF Schwartz arrest and
the proceedings in the superior court, fol-
lowing writ of habeas corpus sued out
by Attorney Melvin G.. Winstock. repre-
senting the prisoner. The case came up
again yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock.
but as luck had II. Chief OF Police Lees,
Of San Francisco. had not telegraphed
copy of the warrant. by virtue OF which
he desired the Seattle police to hold
Schwartz.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Fulton
stated that the telegram had not arrived.
and, fearing such an occurrence, 1t being
Sunday, he had prepared a complaint on
which Justice Austin had issued war
rant. He also said that Chief of Police
Reed had sworn TO the complaint.
Judge Jacobs had said Saturday after
noon that the telegram ought to contain
copy OF the warrant, and as il was want
ing he would allow the police TO hold
Schwartz until $3.50 yesterday morning, to
allow them an opportunity TO get II. Chief
Reed had wired for it, but had received no
answer.
Il want this court to be treated fairly"
said Judge Jacobs. 1T looks as though
the chief OF police. after the writ was
served. hustled down 10 the telegraph Of
flee after a telegram. 1t looks TO me as
though there was no warrant for the de-
PENDANTS arrest"
The insinuation was too much for Chief
Reed. and he told Judge Jacobs that he
had acted on the advice of the prosecut-
ing attorney That Mr. Fulton had pre-
pared a complaint, and that he had signed
it. He had no personal interest in the
affair Then the chief walked out of the
room.
After he was gone Judge Jacobs said
that the police were the worst law break
ers in the town. Chief Reed returned TO
the court room after a while.
Judge Jacobs held that Attorney Win
stocks contention about the warrant be-
ing part of the telegram was good and
ordered Schwartz released. AS soon as
this was done the warrant sworn out in
Justice Austin's court was served. After
considerable talk Judge Jacobs remanded
Schwartz to JAIL in default of $3.50 bonds.
The case will come up before Justice
Austin this morning at 10 O'Clock.
When Chief Reed got back to his office
he did not have to wait long before in
came a messenger boy with telegram.
1t was the Geographic warrant that Judge
Jacobs had doubted. 1t read as follows:
