CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Police Make Arrests In Steamer Ala
media Robbery.

San Francisco. June 2O.-On the arri-
val of the steamer Australia from Hon
olulu today local detectives arrested
three persons supposed to be impli-
Gated in the robbery which occurred on
board the steamer Alameda on her last
voyage from Australia to this city,
when $4,000 was in some mysterious
way removed from the vault rooms of
the vessel.
When the Alameda arrived at Hon
olulu one of the passengers to leave the
vessel was an ex-convict from Austria
liza. He spent money lavishly but moth
ing of the robbery being known at that
time little attention was paid to him.
A few days later the steamer Gaelic
stopped at Honolulu on her way to
China and Japan, and the eX-convict
took passage on her. He paid several
debts with new English sovereigns. and
when the robbery story reached Hon
olulu the detectives in that city began
n search for accomplices of the con-
vict, and furnished such information to
the local police that on the Australia's
arrival today three men were taken
into custody.

Mrs Browns Idea of Desserts of
Abe Majors.
MURDERED MANS WIDOW
DISCUSSES EFFORTS THAT ARE
MAKING FOR THE MAN.
Says Arguments Now Being Used to
Have His Sentence COMMITTED, if
Successful, Will Later Be Utilized
to Obtain Pardon For Him-Too
Dangerous to Be Loose.
Especial to The Herald.)

Ogden, Utah, June 20.-"I think he
should be shot" Such was the frank
statement of Mrs. William Brown,
widow of the late Captain Brown, made
to a Herald reporter, who asked her
how she felt regarding the efforts be-
ing made to have the death sentence of
Abe Majors committed to Imprisonment
for life.
There are many things to take into
consideration" continued the lady, but
to sum it all up, after thinking it all
over, that is my view. / think he
should be shot. ] do not say so merely
because it was my husband that he
killed. | think he is too dangerous d
character to let live and be turned
loose on society. He would be turned
loose in short time, if the sentence
were committed to imprisonment for
life.
Those same arguments would be
urged to secure him a pardon perhaps,
by these same people and eventually
he would get it. If youth can be urged
as an excuse for committing a crime
then no one is safe. l do not form my
conclusion influenced by any desire
for revenge, but there are other lives
to consider. If he were to get off from
this so easily he might kill someone
else some day. Then, too, there are
other young men who may be about
to take up a life of crime. If he gets
off so easy from the consequences of
his crime they may argue that as they
too are young they may escape punish
ment for criminal acts
