return on the steamer Gaelic. They were
accordingly sent to the County Jail to

his clients right to remain. in this coun-

MARTINS LONG SERVICE.
Tom Martin, the hackman whose name
Is connected with the substitution along
with that of Gamble, has been doing this
kind of work for the United States Mar
shals office for many years. Heretofore
he has escaped any scandal and was re-
tanned by Marshal Shine when he took
office. because Of his good record. He
corroborates Gamble In every particular
and says that the substitution must have
been made on shipboard.
Tom Yung, who was arrested by Chi
nese Inspector Mehan Friday night In
connection with the substitution charges
was released yesterday morning on bonds
of $4,000 furnished by a surety company

MANY IMPLICATED.

Although United States District Attor-
ney Woodwork refused to divulge any
thing regarding the nature of the devel-
opments reached yesterday, it was learn
co that sufficient information was gained
from the substitutes to connect directly
with the crime three white men and one
Chinaman. Who these are can only be
surmised, but the developments already
made public point to DeputyUnited States
Marshal w. P. Gamble, Hack Driver
Thomas Martin and an unknown white
man, and Tom YUng, a Chinese merchant
having a store at $50 Dupont street.
Suspicion Of guilt does not stop here.
The names Of George A. MCGOWAN, AL
fred Morley and Frank V. Bell, who have
been doing a remarkably large business
on behalf of Chinese ordered to be de-
ported, are being connected in an I'M
pleasant manner with the present case.
In addition there is a decided clash be-
tween the offices of the United States
Marshal and the Chinese Inspection Blu
reau and as a result there are undercur-
rents of counter charges that may lead to
disclosures that will seriously compromise
these two departments.
Outside of the United States Marshal's
office the completely of Gamble in the
substitution proceedings is generally re-
garded by officials as established. The
Chinese inspectors, who decline to talk
for publication, are a unit in declaring
his guilt. The United States District At
torney's Office seems to share this belief

SHINE SUPPORTS GAMBLE.

On the other hand United States Mar
shall John H. Shine is positive that his
subordinate is entirely guiltless. He says
he has known him for more than thirty
years and he has absolute confidence in
his integrity. He first appointed Gamble
bailiff in 1899 and on January 9, 1901. made
him a Deputy United States Marshal.
Previous to that time Gamble had been
in the butcher business in Modesto and
enjoys a splendid reputation there. Mar
shall Shine was present during the exam
ination of the six Cinnamon yesterday and
stated at it's conclusion that in his opinion
there was nothing developed that would
connect Gamble with the substitution. He
said that five of the Cinnamon had failed
totally to identify Gamble as the man
who had conducted them from Chinatown
and the sixth had made an Identification
in such an unsatisfactory manner as to
convince him that II was false

CANDLES STATEMENT.

Gamble does not bear the appearance of
a guilty man. He discusses his connec-
ton with the case freely but without
making any direct accusations against
anyone for the substitution. He sticks to
the story he told in the first place, main
tanning unflinchingly that the men he Sc
cured at the County jail were the men he
delivered to the steward OF the steamer
He admits that the six men taken from
the Gaelic are not the men ordered de-
ported. whom he claims to have delivered
What is your explanation for this sub
stitution?' he was asked.
There is only one he said, land that
is that the six men now in custody were
substituted on board the ship"
When it was suggested that Chinese
inspectors were present and allowed no
Cinnamon to land he answered that there
were several gangplanks and it was pos
sible that the inspectors had been a lit
tie lax in watching them all. He said
the steward of the vessel merely locked
the Cinnamon I'D and went about his
other duties and it was possible for some
one with duplicate keys to release them

CONTRADICT DEPUTY.


Contradicting Gamble are Inspector Of
Customs Joseph Wilson, several employees
Of the Pacific Mail Company and a watch
man at the gangplank Of the Gaelic, in
addition to Steerage Steward Leslie's
written statement taken before his de-
parture. All those named declare that
the six men now being held are the iden-
teal ones delivered at the steamer by
Gamble 1t was remarked at the time
he brought them that the men were I'M
usually old to have come from China
only q few months before. Inspector Will
son says that Gamble started to go away
after turning the men over to Steward
Leslie and was called back by him with
the advice that he had better see his men
locked up. Gamble then went to the
steerage and watched the steward put the
men under lock and key.
It required the services Of three in
terpreters to secure connected stories
from the six substitutes during the ex-
animation by District Attorney Wood
worth. First Interpreter Gubbins was
tried, but failed to secure any !nforma-
ton from All Cat, an old Chinaman, who
admits having been in this country for
more than forty years Then D. D. Jones':

TELL SAME STORY.

The witnesses all told practically the
same story. They said that they went
to the store of Tom Yung, where thew
were told they could return to China
without paying fare and would receive a.
bonus provided they followed instruc-
tons Subsequently they were given $40
by Tom Yung and told to be at certain
localities in Chinatown on the morning
of September L. They were picked lp
one by one by a white man whom thew
describe as being thin, with a light mus
tache and a few tufts of hair on his
chin. They were taken first to a big
red building" where they were escorted
up two or three flights of stairs and
locked in a room. A little later they were
released and taken in a hack to the Pa
cif1c Mail Dock and put aboard the shin
Gamble was called in for Identification
and all but one said he was not the man
who brought them from Chinatown. This
one said he thought he was the man. but
the identification was made in such a wav
as to leave a doubt to whether he
meant that Gamble was the man who
took him to the dock or who escorted him
from Chinatown.
There were other revelations made dur
ing the examination that are regarded as
inport9nt by the officials engaged in n
ard which are said to implicate others
in the substitution scheme, but these are
being seduously kept secret

Mrs. Bell Hale of Big Canyon, Ell

lndulgent sister. A host of sorrowing
friends followed the remains to the
little cemetery, where beautiful grave
had been prepared by the Native
Daughters of Conrad Parlor No. IOI.
and Rebekah Lodge No. ia, of which
she was loved and most faithful mem
Der. The vacancy in both circles can
never be filed. Her death came as a

very unexpectedly. The funeral took
