As far as the investigation has gone it

of his salary for campaign funds. This
has been going on ever since the begin

COMES To LIFE
FROM MORCUE
Abner johnson, Supposed to
Be Dead, Suddenly Appears
Among His Old Friends
ASTOUNDS NEIGHBORS
HorseshOer, Thought to Be
on a Marble Slab, Turns
Up Alive and Well

Abner Johnson has caused no end OF
sensation in the locality Of Devisadero
and Fulton streets during the last few
days by his supposed sudden death and
by his equally sudden return 10 life.
Johnson was well. alive and hearty on
Friday night when he left the black
smith shop Of William Cradock at sos
Deylsadero street 10 go. as he said, down
town. On Saturday afternoon what was
supposed 10 be the dead body Of Johnson
was found on Golden Gate avenue, near
Jones street and carried down 10 the
Morgue. Different friends were called TO
look ar the remains. one and all pro-
nounced the body lying on the marble
slab 70 be that OF Abner Johnson. Prom
inent among those 10 identify the lad
lying on the slab was his late employer
William CradOck, who, accompanied by
ms son Joseph. went TO the Morgue Sat
urdsy night, and there, without hesita-
tion, stated that the man lying there in
deaths cold embrace was no other than
Abner Johnson.
CradOck had known johnson for twenty
years and he was and is now positive
that the body lying at the Morgue was
Abner Johnsonis.
NoW Abner is well known in the vicin-
ity of Devisadero and Fulton streets. In
tact, everybody in that locality is ac-
quainted with his genial countenance. On
sunday morning when the news became
noised around that Abner was dead and
lying a. the MoHgue there was grief in all
that vicinity. There was a general dis
cUsstOn IL that section as 10 what was the
cause OF his death, but that he was dead
and gone forever was an admitted fact
This was the situation of affairs on
Monday morning. when Abner suddenly
lComed up, alive and well, and walked
into the grocery Of Julius Berendsen
st the corner Of DeYisadero and Fulton
streets and. throwing a quarter on the
counter. demanded some refreshments
Vow Berendsen is in no way a coward
and can hold his own in any fray and at
any time, but for once in his life ne was
perturbed when he saw the supposed dead
man suddenly appear before him. With
Z great shout ne said, why, Abe,
where cid you come from"
Abe looked up in a sort of dazed con-
6ition and said. We'll. they may try TO
Kill me. but 1 am not dead yet"
Abe then walked across the street TO
the blacksmith shop where of and on for
twenty years he had been doing casual
work. Here he was greeted with another
burst OF surprise. William Cradock, who
had stated that he had seen him dead on
the slab at the Morgue, was astounded
beyond expression, white young Joseph
CradOck, who had also seen Abe stretched
cold and stiff, thought the resurrection
day was al hand.
The Morgue officers deny that the
mysterious corpse" was ever on a slab.
The man who has caused so much ex-
Citement is IN a daZed condition and is
non-coLanl regarding his expert
ences.

BURGLAR TAKEN
BY A COACHMAN
VIM. Hogan, an Old Offender,
Captured While Looting a
House on Mission Street
EX- CONVICT rs JAILED
Miss Wanda Peterson Finds
Thief on Premises After
He Entered Five Rooms

William Hogan, an old-time offender,
was captured while committing bur-
glary in the residence of Miss Wanda
Peterson at 1904 Mission street last
night. John Engelhardt, a coacnman
in the employ of Dr. Summers, Is re-
sponsible for the burglars incarcera-
ton. as he followed the thief through
the house and held him until officers
Rooney and Crowley arrived.
Miss Peterson. who has recently
moved into the house. was reading in
one of the rear rooms when a noise
alarmed her. She opened her door
slightly and soon became convinced
that some one was searching a
number of rooms on the opposite side
of the hallway. Miss Peterson was the
only one occupying the premises, and
Engelhardt, who lives in small cot
tage in the rear. When Engelhardt
learned that a burglar was on the
premises he bravely came TO the aid
of the woman and began search of
the houses
Hogan was found in the kitchen.
He had already searched FIVE rooms
including the room of James Sum-
mers, the aged father of DR.. Summers
The amount stolen is small, from the
fact that most of the rooms had not
been fully furnished by tenants En-
gelhardt called upon the intruder to
halt. Instead of complying Hogan or
dered his pursuer to stay back and
called out this command: Stop, or
I'll kill you"
Engelhardt followed the thief to
the front door. The latter halted in
an attempt to release the fastenings,
and in a moment he was a captive.
Engelhardt then called for Miss Pc
terson and the lazy rushed to the side
walk and blew a police whistle. Pa
trolmen Crowley and Rooney re-
sponded, and the burglar was taken
to the City Prison.
