POLICE UNEARTH
STOLEN JEWELRY
PASADENA OFFICERS RECOVER
MORE LOOT
Another Can Containing $4,000 Worth
Of Gems Dug Up on Grounds
of the Country
Club
Pasadena Agency.
ia East Colorado Street.

PASADENA, Jan. 25.-Police Captain
Austin today unearthed another lot of
jewelry buried by John Morgan in
small cinnamon can in the grounds of
the Country club near the wash which
runs through the grounds, the value
running UP to some three thousand dol
lars.
OF this lot but one watch has been
Identified. 1t belongs to ]. Beekman,
q Cook tourist agent who stopped at
Hotel Maryland during Christmas
week. This last lot Of jewelry buried
by Morgan was uncovered this morning
upon information gained by Captain
Austin from d friend of Morgan's in
Los Angeles.
The knowledge of this pal was gained
from letters and papers found in Nor
gan's possession. This lot of jewels
found today includes q choice lot of
rings, lockets, chains, brooches and
stick pins.
This last find establishes beyond a
doubt the fact that the boys under ar
rest have carried on for some time
regular system of theft, and the police
say tonight that they fully expect to
find other jewelry. .%
The three bell boys were given their
preliminary hearing this afternoon,
John Morgan being the first to appear.
After listening to the reading of the
charge against him Morgan told Judge
Congdon that he did not wish to have
lawyer appointed to defend him. His
second hearing will be in the court to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Wilson was next brought before
Judge Congdon. When asked if he
had procured an attorney he answered,
mo, it is not necessary" His pre-
liminary trial was set for Thursday
January g. at 1890. Wilson is now
of the opinion that he was to have been
left out of the division of the plunder,
and he declares that he did not know
anything of the burying of the jewelry
on the Raymond grounds.
Morgan is regarded as the smoothest
criminal of the three, and his previous
record is being looked up by the police.
for the state, he was not ararigned this
afternoon when the others were, and
will probably not have to face the seri-
Gus charge of robbery as will the other
two if he sticks to the story he now
tells.
