John Piggott, yho is regarded by the po-
lice as one of the cleverest pickpocKets
in the country, but who has heretofore
defied the authorities to convict him, was
declared guilty of grand larceny by a jury
in Superior Judge Cooks court last night,
and will be sentenced Saturday. The jury
was out about fifteen minutes.
Piggott was charged with picking the
pocket of Gregoire Henrioulle on Mission
street car while returning from the Ingle-
side racetrack on March II of this year
Henrioulle had two purses in his pocket,
one containing S34 and the other 800 in
gold. When he started to leave the car
at the corner of Mission and Seventh
streets he felt hand in his pocket. He
turned quickly and caught Piggott in the
act of withdrawing his hand. He grabbed
him and accused him of robbing him.
Piggott denied the charge, but as he did
so Henrioulle saw him passing something,
presumably one of his purses, to ChildS.
The victim of the pair promptly collared
the pickpOcketS accomplice and held them
both until the arrival of an officer.
The purse containing the $34 was found
on the platform of the car at Childs'
feet. The other purse was not recovered.
but when searched at the City Prison five
$50 gold pieces were found in Piggott' S
socks. The claim was made that the
clever thief had made away with the
purse and slipped the gold under his
waistband, allowing them to drop into his
socks while being taken to prison.
The trial of the case was begun yeSter-
day afternoon, Assistant District Attor-
ney Black conducting the prosecution and
Attorney George D. Collins representing
the defendant. Henrioulle was the first
witness and told of the occurrence as re
lated above. His testimony was given in
a convincing manner, and crosS-eXamina-
tion failed to shake it.
II. H. Hutchins, who was on the car
when the trouble occurred testified that
he saw Plggott drop something. Thomas
Connolly, the conductor of the car, Henry
Newman. a passenger, and Patrick j.
Parrell. the arresting officer, testified in
corroboration of the robbery and the sub
sequent finding of the purse at Childs
feet. Police Sergeant Martin and Detec-
tive Gibson testified to searching the pris-
oner and finding the gold in his shoes,
and Detectives Silvey and Eagan testified
as to his general reputation being bad.
The defense sought TO show that Pig
gott was in the habit of carrying his
money in his shoes, and that it would
have been impossible for him to have
slipped the money into his socks while
being taken to the police station. Mrs
Johanna FrederiCks, Piggott's landlady,
testified that she saw him place this par
ticular 800 in his shoes before he left the
house on the noon of the day the
robbery occurred. There was also an en-
deavor to show that Piggott and Childs
were strangers. but this was successfully
combatted by the testimony of Sergeant
Martin and the detectives.
The defense contended that Piggott

MAINTAIN STRONG
FORCE AT APIA

! New York. April ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Though
the three powers signatory to the Berlin
treaty have practically agreed upon the
instructions under which the Samoan
commission will act the administration
will maintain a strong American force at
Apia. The collier Brutus is going to
Apia, where she will remain until the col
her Scandal arrives. when, if the stua-
ton permits, she will proceed to Guam.
The collier Abarenda will soon start for
Pago Pago, where she Will take station
as guardship at the coaling station at
that port. These colliers have fairly large
crews and several rapid fire guns and
will be useful in case of another scrim-
mage with the natives.
1t is expected that the Samoan commits
sion will leave for Apia on the steamer
sailing from San Francisco on April 19.
Mr.. Trip is now on his way to Washing

MORE TROUBLE
is NOW EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, April 12.-News from
Samoa was received here with a feeling
of approaching dismay. There was a re-
fusal on the part of the higher officials
to discuss the sad event. The secretary
of the German embassy called early in
the day upon Secretary Hay. Neither OF
the officials would disclose anything as
to the nature of the exchange that took
place.
The arrest and detention by the British
naval officials of German subject is one
of the most dangerous features of the
controversy. 1t is said the consuls OF
the three powers stationed at Apia claim
extra territorial jurisdiction. involving
the right to try subjects of the respective
countries for any offenses alleged to
have been committed. Under this prac-
tice German Consul Rose may demand
the surrender of the German. If the man
is guilty it is considered improbable he
will be delivered except upon some
adequate guaranty that he is to be suffi-
GENTLY punished. 1t is not believed Rose
will make such a promise.
1t is believed Admiral kautz with the
cooperation of the British will continue
his efforts to bring the rebellious natives
to terms. This is not likely to be an easy
task in view of the somewhat small force
III
government may accept the proposition
! of the authorities of New Zealand to send
q regiment of soldiers to Samoa.
No protest thus far has been lodged at
the state department against Admiral
KautZ.
| At the British and German embassys
| news of the bloody conflict in Samoa was
| received with deep concern. Sir Julian
| Pauncefote expressed his profound re-
| gret at the collision at a moment when
| he had hoped the trouble was in far
| way to adjustment. German Ambas-
| sador DR.. Won HellOden stated that while
he was wholly without advices he deeply
regretted to hear there had been further
loss of life In all diplomatic quarters
| there was disposition to treat the news
| as grave, but not as disrupting plans for
| settlement. \ sharp difference has de-
! Veloped between the British and German
! foreign office rs to getting the high COM
| mission off for Samoa on the 18th. Lord
| Salisbury says the commissioners cannot
! be instructed by the governments SO as
| to get away on the 10Th The British view
! is that there is no chance of getting away
| until next month.
The following official German view was
! given to the Associated Press:
after Germany and the United States
! had arrived at such an understanding
! that the commission could have left San
Francisco on the 18th England raises new
| difficulties of such complicated nature
they cannot be dealt with geographically
! Germany feels justified under these cir
! cumstances to hold the name of her com
| missioner still back. The whole question
! on account of Samoa is pending at pres
ent not between the three powers but be-
| tween Germany and England
