SAN JOSE, Sept. Joseph Theron, one
of the Folsom prison escapes, ate break
fast this morning on a county road, in
the edge of the town of Campbell. The
meal was given him by party of camp
ers, one of whom was F. Kenney, who
says he was formerly guard at Folsom
and knows Theron well.
Kenney first telephoned to the author
tiles at Folsom. who referred the matter
TO Sheriff Langford, at the same time
vouching for the fact of Kenneys ac-
quaintance with Theron and their belief
in his reliability in this matter, though
they said that instead of being a guard
he had been a prisoner there up to April
last. Kenney's story was as follows:
1--WE were eating breakfast In the edge
OF an orchard on Campbell avenue at
1880 O'Clock this morning when Theron
came up and asked for something to eat.
/ recognized him instantly, but he did
not appear to see me. did not want him
to and l stepped behind a tree. He sat
down and ate his breakfast leisurely and
when he was through asked where he
could get work. The men pointed to the
surrounding orchards and told him he
could get work at any of them.
HE then sauntered off down the ave
nue. in a southerly direction. l was con-
siderably excited and a little afraid and
I got on the next train and went to Los
/ Gatos. After thinking the matter over
/ concluded to telephone Warden Wilkin'
! son.
Theron wore a pretty decent-lookine
! dark suit of clothes. light colored soft
| crowned hat with black band. He haC
a short thick mustache and looked like
he had not had a shave for ten days"
Immediately upon the receipt of th'
news Sheriff Langford and three Deputy
I Sheriffs started for Campbell to take th'
trail. but up to a late hour tonight M
word has come from them.

THE BOODLERS.
Dick Speed in the Meshes-
JOhnaIee Too.

John Alice, formerly Lieuten-
ant Governor, and Richard B.Speed
of Nevada, former Coal Oil Inspec-
tor aud editor of the Nevada Mail,
added another interesting chapter
to Doodle history in State legisla-
ton at st. Louis this week by con-
Tossing that they were participants
in transactions which have pre-
viously been hidden from the gen.
eral public.
Lee was confronted by infOrma.
ton sent the Circuit Attorney by
Baking Powder Agent Kelley to
the effect that he had received
81 900 from Havemeyer of the
Sugar Trust, in 1899, and $3.50
from the American Tobacco Trust
two years ago. These were new
developments, of which Lee had
never said anything to the Grand
Jury.
"Did you receive this money!"
he was asked.
YVES" he admitted.
Speed-he should write another
article which our neighbor the
Mexico Intelligencer upon the 9th
er corner should quote, relative to
an alleged move in st. Louis for
Folk and against Sam b. Cook
Speed made a spectacle of himself.
The st. Louis Republic says Speed
came into the grand jury room"ev-
identity much worried over the Sc
cret which lie has carried about. "
He confessed to Folk that he paid
$500 to Sen. w. F.LyOns of Kansas
City in 1899 for his vote and in-
fiuence against the pas sage of a
bill by the legislature providing
for a reduction of the fees of the
coal oil inspector.
1t is said that he completely
broke down and with tears stream
ing from his eyes, said:
yves, 1 paid Mr.. Lyons $500 for
his vote and influence against the
coal oil inspectors bill. The tran
saction took place at the Planters
hotel in this city in 1899"
When Senator Lyons was before
the grand jury in April he was
questioned about this deal, but
stood on his constitutional rights.
He was afraid he would incrimi-
nate himself if he answered any
questions about the deal.

Perhaps not. yet why mott AS

Ed Butler and his ilk would not
reward Folk, either. The people
are going to nominate the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor next
time, and so far, looking over the
State, they seem about unanimous
for Folk. Some one is wanted in
