ARE TRYING
TO FIND LOOT
Pinkerton Men Hoping De-
faulter Smith Will Send
for Some of ''Planted" Coin

While Smith appears a rejuvenated man
,and his formerly careworn face is assum-
ing look of gayety and cheerfulness.
the Grand Jury is still satisfied that the
public funds the former Tax Collector
stole are within his reach. With that end
in view the detectives of the Pinkerton
agencies are on the alert in the cities
where the loot is supposed to have been
planted In San Francisco the local
branch of the agency has men constantly
watching Smith and his visitors to pre-
vent his reaching the plumber he is be-
lieved to have hidden.
Although the Pinkerton men are active
at the direction of the National Surety
Company, the local police seem peculiarly
apathetic regarding Smith. The inf1uen-
tial friends that the diSgraced man has
seem to be exerting a powerful pressure
on the police. that prevents the depart
ment from treating Smith to the strong
arm" given the ordinary crook Smiths
desire to be treated as an unfortunate
| financier''. seems to extend to the police,
who have handled him with silk gloves
There is no probability of further in
dictments against Smith being found by
| the Grand Jury until more plumber has
] been recovered. The inquisitorial body is
| not satisfied with the standing of the
!, case so far, and feels that it is due the
] puOilC lldt IiiOlc liiuucy SliOuiu De lOunQ
| and additional indictments brought Until
this is done the Grand Jury will pay but
little attention to the case, feeling that it
/ has done its duty and collected enough
kevidence for a strong prosecution of the
embczzler in the courts
/ A peculiar state of affairs has resulted
| from the dual investigation by the Grand
| Jury of Smith and Attorney George d.
! Collins, who is under Indictment for big
amy Smith has taken his cue from the
accused lawyer and is planning his de-
! Tense on technical evasions. Smiths at
| torney, Fire Commissioner John j. Bar
rett, is preparing to attack the validity
of the Grand Jury and its indictment of
! his client. This is the line of defense
| planned by Collins. and it would be no
! surprise in law circles If the two accused
men should exchange tips and points in
the attempt to invaidate the jury and
secure the reputation of all its acts.
! The continuance of time granted to
Smith in which to plead will expire on
/ Tuesday, and the embezzler will be
| brought into court for the first step in

BOY RECEIVES
A LARGE FEE
Mysterious Payment to Lad
Raises Expectations i'll the
Neyills Flcmming Case

Evidence of sensational developments
to come in the suit of William A. New
ills and United States Senator John P.
Jones against William F.lemming and
others over stock of the Amador Tun-
mel, Mining and Milling Company mark
ed the progress of the trial before
Judge Murasky yesterday. Amos S.
Hixsen. formerly employed by Nevills
as a bookkeeper, was on the stand for
interrogation regarding various papers
that passed in the transaction that cul-
minated in the litigation.
On many points Hixsen's memory
was extremely hazy, but one thing he
remembered was that he drew up an
agreement for Nevills by which one
Fred Holz, a mere boy, was to be paid
$1,000 at the time the trouble between
Nevills and Flemming began, for SER
vices rendered" What services the boy
rendered the witness was unable to say
except that he was the custodian OF
certain papers, among which was a
bond between the litigants for the
transfer of certain properties for $780,
600 and letter referring to the ANA
dor and other companies in which New
ills and his associates said they would
return the money that had been put into
the Anlador Company by Flemming and
others"
Nevills and his associates assert that
these documents were taken by some
one for a purpose They say they were
willing to return to the defendants the
100000 they put into the company, but
that the defendants refused to accept 1t
and entered into conspiracy by which
they hoped to freeze Nevills out.
The defense ayers that the documents
claimed by the plaintiffs to have beer
lost were never in existence, but thai
other documents were that would throw
an entirely different light on the case
Ihey will endeavor to connect the pay
ment of the fee of $1,000 to the boy Holz
with the alleged disappearance of these
other documents. but just how Attorney
MCGEE for the defendants refuses tt
state.

H Meinburge retired sea captain
living at 1883 Noe street, reported to
the police yesterday that he had been
thrown downstairs by an agent for a
clock company. He said that he has
a sign No Peddlers" on his front steps
and when the bell rang on Wednesday
afternoon he went to the door. He
pointed to the sign and the agent got
mad and seizing the captain by the
arms threw him downstairs. He was
told to swear out a warrant for the
agents arrest, but he refused, saying
it was the duty of the police to make
the arrest without a warrant.

benefit of numerous creditors who had

principal creditors were TreadwelI &

the latter having a claim of $1,000. OPP
penheimer was directed to remove the

Burned to Death in Jail.

James b. Cannon, son of Laurel
farmer, employed as chef in leading
Philadelphia club until he became such
a religious crank that he was consider
ed dangerous, met horrible death in
Greenwood, DEL. Tuesday of last week.
Leaving Laurel, Monday he went to
Greenwood and began holding meetings
in the streets. He was ordered to de-
sist, and, on assuming threatening
attitude, was arrested and placed in
the small wooden Jail preparatory to
being sent to an asylum. His praying
and singing kept the town in a stir I'M
til about 4 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Soon after he had quoted down and
the citizens had fallen asleep the Jail
was discovered to be on fire. Vigorous
efforts were made to save the unfortu-
nate man, but without avail, as the
building was soon reduced to ashes
When the ruins were searched for the
body of Cannon only small part of his
body and few bones were found.
A coroner's jury rendered verdict
that Cannon came to his death at his
own hands. 1t is supposed that he
fired the building.
