and transacting business with persons
whose only apparent interest in horse
flesh consisted of the effect that the
results of certain speed contests at
Emeryville would have upon their
pocket books. Having satisfied him
self on this point. the patrolman's
next move was to catch Mr.. Jones In
the act Of pool selling and also to OBJ
tain the material evidence necessary
to convict him of the offense. How
we'll he succeeded in accomplishing
both those objects was demonstrated
by his appearance yesterday before
Police Judge Mogan as complaining
witness against Mr.. Jones and his
production of a pool ticket which he
had purchased from the defendant.
Among the men whom Cornelius
had noticed at various times In con-
verse with Mr.. Jones were several at
taches of a nearby meat market, and
it was the sight of one of them emerg-

smile of a winner that afforded the

Attorney Oscar Sutro. representing

fees of the Peyton Chemical Company
yesterday by Secretary John P. Wal
lace after Sptro had tried to carry off
the latter company's stock record.
The ruse to get the books was a
time-worn one, but the aiertness of
Secretary Wallace prevented the rep
resentatives of the powder trust from
accomplishing their end. Frank Turner,
auditor Of the California Powder Com
pany, tributary of the DUPONT con-
Germ, in company with Attorney Sutro
called at the Chemical Company's Of
fees in the Mills building shortly after
o'clock .. m. Turner informed Wal
lace that he wanted to sign for some
stock. Ten shares were agreed upon,
and Turner affixed his signature to the
stock book of the company. This done
Sutro quietly picked up the book and
started for the door. Wallace detected
his scheme, and bounding over an in
tervening desk grabbed him just as he
was on the threshold.
Give me that book" cried Wallace.

torted the attorney.
struggle ensued. Wallace Is mus
cular and wrested the book from Su-
tro. In the scuff1e the attorneys hands
came in forcible contact with the door,
and the knuckles were cut. Turner took
no part In the fight, but acted as a
peaceable spectator. After he had Sc
cured the coveted book Wallace seized
Sutro and elected him from the offices.
In speaking of the trouble Wallace
said: 'Sutro tried to remove the book,
and 1 simply took it away from him
and threw him out. 1 had anticipated
something of the sort. The suit brought
by the DUPONT people in an endeavor
10 see the books of our company has
been thrown from Superior Judge Ker-

control of our company for some time.

which is held in the names of dummy

Jur1es with a monkey-wrench. The
Judge thereupon ordered that the
original charge of battery against Mr..
Roth be raised to assault with a dead
ly weapon.
1t was in the home of the Small
mans that the wrench was piled by
Mr.. Roth. He went there with intent
to utilize the implement in the shut
ting off of the Smallmans' water sup
ply, Roth being landlord of the dwell
ing, and when they protested he beat
a nimble tattoo upon Mr.. Smallman's S
Uranium and then transferred it to the
head of Mrs. Smallman to express his
resentment of her interference.
Mr.. Roth had an attorney, of course,
and prior to the appearance of Mrs.
Smallman in court the advocate informed
the bench that she had not been in
jured at all, positive information to
that effect having been given to him
by Mr. Roth. He withdrew the asser-
tion, however, when Mrs. Smallman ap-
peared and exhibited a countenance
discolored and bruised in spots. Her
delay in arriving was explained by the
fact that she had just come from ST.
Luke's Hospital, where the surgeons
had sewed up her wounds, four stitches
being required to close one incision
made by Mr.. Roth's monkeywrench.
The assault with a deadly weapon
charge will be heard to-day.
Olive Campbell, Lizzie Pierce and
Marie Wagstaff, who pleaded guilty to
one of several charges of shoplifting,

charges of embezzlement, will be SEN
