into the Waterworks department alone.
He returned and told Gouveia that the
combination had been changed and he
could not open the safe. Richardson
was then driven to Woodwards place
and the combination was learned. They
returned to the Waterworks office. He.
was away for about fifteen minutes
They returned to the Anchor saloon,
Gouveia being paid 81. Richardson had
a large quantity of gold in his pocket.
Gouveia was invited to take a drink
and went into the saloon. Several
men were in the saloon playing dice.
Gouveia states that he had his drink
which Richardson paid for, the latter
throwing some gold before the players,
saying 'rm in the game
Second Clerk Daniel Woodward of the
Waterworks department said Richard
son visited him between $3.50 and
o'clock the night of February II and
asked for the key to the safe and later
he came to ask for the combination.
He asked Woodward to so back with
him as he was too full to open it alone
Woodward refused to go with him. The
key was returned to Woodward in the
morning. Woodward stated he knew
of government money only being kept
In the safe
High Sheriff Brown stated that he
was present at an interview between
Assistant Attorney General Fleming
and Richardson on the morning of
March 9, after the arrest. Richard
son had then stated he had driven from
the Anchor saloon on the night of Feb
ruary IL to the Waterworks office and
had taken 800 from the safe. He said
he had been in the Anchor saloon with
a crowd whose intention was to go to
the Brunswick billiard parlors, He

COMMITTED
Judge Binds Clerk Over
to the Circuit
Court.

On charge of embezzling 800 of
public moneys, Vivian Richardson, for
mer chief clerk of the waterworks de-
partment. has been bound over to the
Circuit Court for trial. Judge Dickey
found the evidence sufficient to cause
the prisoner to have his case advanced
to the Circuit Court.
Richardson was represented by Rob-
ertson & Wilder, the prosecution being
looked after by High Sheriff Brown.
The complaint was read, specifying as
one charge, the embezzlement of 500
of public moneys from the Waterworks
Department Wilder demurred on the
ground that the complaint did not set
forth sufficient facts to sustain the
charge of embezzlement, alleging that
on the statute there was no such per-
son as the clerk of the Superintendent
of Waterworks who was in charge of
the public money. Wilder's contention
was that the statute provided that the
superintendent OF Waterworks is the
person to collect water rates and to
safeguard moneys. The demurrer was
overruled by Judge Dickey.
Superintendent of Waterworks An
drew Brown was put on the stand and
stated in answer to a question as 10
what were the duties of the chief clerk.
that it was his duty to collect all mon
eys due the department and to have
them in his safekeeping. The chief
clerk had no orders to remove moneys
belonging to the department on Feb
ruary II. Mr.. Brown said he had had
a conversation with the defendant in
which he had asked him on what night
he had entered the office, and question
ed him also as to the amount of money
he had taken He stated that the
was practically a confess
sion. Richardson had then told him
he had taken 800 but had replaced it
the next morning The defendant had
not come to the witness voluntarily.
Richardson said the money had been
taken on or about February 10. but he
was not sure of the date The con-
versation was held on March 1.
John Gouveia, hackdriyer. testified
that about 1880 p. m. on February II he
was called to the Anchor saloon by
Richardson. He carried a note for
Richardson to Clerk woodward of the
office who lived on Punch
bowl woodward had refused to re-
turn with Gouveia. and the latter re-
ported the result of his mission to
Richardson. Gouveia was then in
structed by Richardson TO return TO
woodward and procure the key to the
safe in the Waterworks department.
Gouveia followed instructions The
hacknan thea drove Richardson TO the
Capitol building and Richardson went

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2o-what
may turn out to be the expected flank
ing movement OF the Japanese troops
is the appearance of a number OF Jap
enses ships off Potansa, near the Gulf
Of Chingtaitse, as reported to the En-
peror to-day by General Kuropatkin.
Military experts here have long regard
ed that vicinity as the probable point
of Decentralization of the second Jap
anese expedition. 1t is not far away
from Takushan Twelve miles TO the
east) and connects by road with Port
Arthur Q5o miles to the southwest)
and Fengwangcheng fifty miles to the
northwest) where the Russians will
make their first obstinate resistance
Though the Japanese are building in
trenchments on the Yalu, it is believed
that they will advance soon. The ar
rangements for a turning movement
are complete and experts say that such
a move could properly begin at Taku-
shan. as Fengwangcheng lies at the
angle of an equilateral triangle, with
Takushan and the mouth of the Yalu
as angles at the base OF the triangle.
The Japanese embarkation undoubt-
edly will be covered by warships, and
the Russians recognize that 1t will be
impossible to prevent it.
I'VE will strike after they have land
ed,'' grimIy said a member of the gen.
eral staff
General Kuropatkin is aware of the
strategic Importance of the vicinity of
Takushan and it is understood that he
has made arrangements accordingly.
General Kuropatkin's report TO the
Emperor is as follows:
General Kashtalinsky reports as fol-
lows on April 10:
All is quiet on the Yalu. The Jap
anese are throwing up intrenchments
opposite Golutsky and farther to the
north. The numbers of japanese
troops are increasing. They are con-
centrating at Wiju and spreading
toward the north along the Yalu.
. 'Cossack sentineIs have observed
the lights of Japanese transports near
Chingtaitse, opposite the village of Po-
tansa, twenty-five versts west of Ia
tungkau. The vessels were anchored
at a distance of fifty versts from the
shore.
According to dispatches from Gen.
eral Mistchenko, Japanese ships were
also seen near Souchou.'
