4 Alley Romance.

AND All GOO WANTS A RAIL
ROAD TICKET.
Both Were Disappointed - Chief
Hilton Defends the Course of the
Police Department-Hoy Makes
Lengthy Statement-Wants His
S365, But Not All Goo.

The Plum Alley Romance" is assum-
ing new complications. Charley Hoy,
wants warrant for All Coos arrest on
the charge of larceny or embezzlement,
and he can't get it. Chief Hilton de-
clares with some force that the police
department has been grossly misrepre-
scented by the Utah Methodist. To
wind up the matter the managers of
the Rescue Home are endeavoring TO
send Mrs. Charley Hoy to San Fran
cisco.
It want the 1865 which l left with
my wife before l went to San Fran
CISCO said Hoy yesterday afternoon.
Il don't want her. If she does not
love me any more 1 don't want her to
come back to me. If she likes Wing
Dun better than me / don't want her,
but 1 don't want him to have her.
Il want to say this to the ladies at
the Rescue Home: If my wife wants
to become a good Christian, why does
she have to go to San Francisco? If
she wants to be Christian, let her
stay at the Home and / will pay her
expenses. L will pay anything reason
able and any week that / fail to pay
she can be sent to San Francisco. l
don't ask that she live with me or that
see her. Just let her stay there and
become a Christian and l will pay the
expenses.
IF they are going to send her to San
Francisco, where / believe Wing Dun,
the man she ran away with is, then
1 want the 1866, and l want her ar
rested for stealing it. / asked County
Attorney Putnam on Monday for a
warrant, and he said I didn't have
enough testimony TO convict her. l
have All Look, who saw me pay her
the money, and All Gung, who saw her
with it. The money belonged to the
firm of Quong Ting Hi and she was to
send it to me in San Francisco when
I wrote. sent three letters to her, but
as she had gone she did not get them.
Il suppose that Wing Dun has the
money. She gave it to him to get away.
If they send her to San Francisco he
will come to the Home there and she
will say she wants to marry him. He
will take her out and Will put her in
bad house. OH / know him. Didn't l
pay his expenses here for four years
because he was sick and couldn't work,
and then l came home once from Og-
den and found him in a compromising
position with her. He is bad man.
1T is wrong that 1 wanted her to do
anything bad" and Hoy's eyes flashed
as he thought of the charge that had
been made. He showed the rooms
heater and more comfortable than the
houses of half the white persons of the
city
II did not refuse to issue a war
rant" said County Attorney Putnam.
Hoy did not ask for it in so many
words. But don't think that his evil
dence is strong enough to convince a
jury"
will you issue a warrant now if he
wants t2f' asked
Il need more time to consider the
matter" was The reply. Il haven't
looked into the case thoroughly"
Chief Hilton's Statement.
1.-The statement of the Utah Metho-
dist that the police department is try
ing to get this woman back to a life of
shame is wrong and uncalled for" said
Chief Hilton. They say it adds great
ly to the romance that the police de-
partment, through it's chief, has made
every effort to bring the pretty fugitive
back to the arms of her whilom mas
ter
That is not the truth and it was
written by some one ignorant of the
case. In the first place, so far as 1
can learn, the two are married in Chi
nese custom. She was not used for
immoral purposes, for l have made
diligent inquiry. But 1 did learn that
she and Wing Dun carried on a liason
when Hoy was away. The facts of our
connection are these:
When we learned that the woman
had mysteriously disappeared we hunt
ed her, and when we found her at the
Rescue Home we dropped the matter.
When Hoy, on his return from San
Francisco, complained that she had
taken 1855 of his money, we went TO
work again. That was our duty. Last
eX-Chief Pratt and / visited
the home with Hoy. Mrs. Plummer
wouldn't let Hoy talk to or see the
women We talked through an inter-
prefer whom don't consider reliable
I'VE did not ask that the woman be
sent back, for Hoy said he didn't want
her. But it was our duty to find out
who stole that money and bring him or
her to justice. We think that Wing
Dun and the woman took the money
Hoy wants a warrant for her arrest
and he says that he can't get it."
