WOMAN TOOK MORPHINE.
Was a Prisoner at Police station
when Drug Was Taken.

Louisa Delgadd white woman residing
in the Tenderloin district, took a quantity
of morphine in a cell at the police station
late Saturday night and caused much
concern among the officers on duty.
The woman had been drinking and
when searched nothing contra5and was
found on her person. She appeared in a
stupor when found by the turnkey on
duty several hours after her arrest, and
admitted that she had taken morphine.
Dr.. w. f. Norton was summoned and
worked on the woman for quite awhile
before bringing her into a normal con-
dition. The woman stated that she had
no idea of taking her own life. and that
she was i'm the habit of using the drug
She declared that she must have takea
too much and appeared glad that she had
not died before her condition was dis
covered.
The Delgadd woman and a white man
were arrested in the afternoon by city
Detective Stark. on'a charge of being sus-
picious characters. A man named Kelly
complained at police headquarters that
he had been robbed in the joint in which
the woman lived and that he had reason
to believe that she had relieved him Of
$40, and a gold watch and chain. De-
teCtiVe Stark took the case, in hand and
arrested the woman and man named
Chatham, who was also i'm the house
Both denied all knowledge of the robbery
and neither the money nor the jewelry
was found on the prisoners. They are
held for investigation.

he would be fired from the force.
1T is a similar state of affairs in Kan

looms that the law says Shall not exist;
here we have the gambling dens that the

made amenable to the law any more than
is Mrs. Nation.

Barrett and Shea are dead, and the money
intended for them will go to their families.
Scully and Stark have already been given
a check for 500 each by Postmaster Doyle,

tective Shea, and it is still held by the

The arrest of the Ocilla safe blowers at
tracted a great deal of attention at the
time Charges were preferred against the
detectives. and Barrett and Scully were
reduced to ranks. Later, Barrett died,
and Detective Shea was killed before the
government had paid the reward. Scully
is still doing patrol duty, and Stark is the
only member of the quartette on the de-
tective force at this time
1t will be recalled that Belmont escaped
from the United States prison, and has
never been captured. He was one of the
smoothest crooks ever placed under ar
rest in this city, and stated when taken
in custody that ne would not remain be-
hind the bars long. While Nelson was
a bright criminal, he was looked upon by
the local officers as only a pickup" of
Belmont's. Nelson is still serving his
sentence.

and that there was no need of the enact
ment of additional legislation There

men sworn to enforce law would do their
duty aud see to IL that violltors of law
were legally punished.

plishing the suppression Of Sabbath vio-
