and to General Morales. who was killed
in the expedition, to see several United
States officials and politicians, to obtain
aid for the filibusters
The real object of the expedition. he
said was the capture of Santo Domingo
by the insurgents with view to OBJ
tanning Samana Bay as a coaling sta
tion for the United States. a scheme
which had been a favorite one of Gen
eral Grant.
Cunningham testified that he had sent
in bill to General Jiminez for $4,000,
which the general said he considered
was rather large for what were ser
vices really rendered to the United
States, and offered him 1900, which
he said he never received.
Cunningham said he was not en-
ployed by the United States Govern
ment in securing arms for Jiminez.
Did you inform the United States
Government what the real purpose was
for which these arms were TO be used?'
Il told the Government officials they
were to be used to help Gomez
After further testimony Justice Fitz-
gerald dismissed the complaint on the
ground that one of the conditions by which
1T was alleged that Jiminez agreed to
pay S25, 900 was that payment was con-
ditional upon a regular Government be-
ing established in Santo Domingo by
the revolutionary party within two
months, and that no proof had been
presented to establish that fact.

Bold Thief Caught in Act of
Robbing Freight Car at
Fruitvale by Deputy Sher-
iff Barnet of Oakland
DROPS REVOLVERS AT
OFFICERS COMMAND
A. E. Voss, Carpenter, Con-
feSseS to Many TheftS
and Much Stolen Property
Is Found Hidden in House

OAKLAND, April 12.-With a sawed-on
shotgun. loaded with buckshot, aimed at
his head, A F. Noss, a carpenter OF
AIlendale, caught in the act Of robbing
Southern Pacific freight cars at Sather
station, east of Fruitvale, surrendered to-
night 10 Deputy Sheriff Edward Barnet;
Noss made an attempt 10 escape and
tried to draw two pistols he had in his
pockets. but the officer got THE drop
TOO quickly and forced the car looter into
submission.
After ais arrest Voss was disarmed and
manacled. He made a confession to
Sheriff Barnet and the deputy, the Sher-
ffss brother, in which Voss admitted he
was responsible for the many thefts OF
merchandise which have occurred IN
freight cars at Sather station.
An epidemic Of stealing several weeks
ago led the Southern Pacific Company TO
place Deputy Barnet at the station on
watch His vigilance was rewarded to-
night when Voss drove up to the long
string Of cars on the tracks near the sta
tfon. Barnet, who was in the building
cloee by. saw Voss break of a lock on a
car door and enter, after he had backed
his wagon TO the opening. Quickly the
thief tumbled several boxes Of merchand-
ise out. AS soon as the wares were on
the wagon Barnet quietly edged over TO
the car. Shotgun in hand he ordered
Noss 10 come TO him. With an oath the
surprised thief jumped at the officer and
started to draw his pistols.
If YOU move your hands I'll blow your
head off" declared Barnet, aiming his
weapon. Voss took the warning, sulkily
moved toward the officer and, dropping
his weapons, allowed. himself TO be hand
cuffed. The Sheriff was notified and re-
paired TO the station.
Koss was taken TO his residence in
Laurel street, Allen6ale tract where hun
dreds Of dollars worth of stolen mer-
chandise was brought TO light. He ad-
unitted he had been stealing for many
months.
Voss was sent to the County Jail.
