RESTRAlNS POLICE
COMMISSION FROM
ANY INTERFERENCE

Following the session of the police
commission last evening, Attorney
Foley, representing Henry Tostmann,
served injunction papers on the mem
berS of the board restraining them
from interfering with the liquor busi-
ness of the Fortuna Liquor company,
of which Mr.. Tostmann is half owner.
This service was a big surprise to the
board and came after a heated argu-
ment during which an effort was made
to induce the police commission to ex-
tend the time of the revocation of Mr.
TOStmanns license.
A few weeks ago Officer Moore re-
ported that while he and two brother
officers were attempting to arrest a
man in Tostmann'S saloon on South
Main street, near Fourth, TOstmann
strenuously resisted them and started
a general trough house." in which the
officers received the worst of it. This
statement of the case brought forth a
roar of laughter from the regular at
tendants at commission meetings. for
the officers were each more than six
feet tall and large in proportion, while
TOStmann might be almost five feet high
if he stood on his toes, and otherwise
looks as though he could sleep COM
fortably in one of his own beer glasses.
But the police commission failed to
see the humor of the situation and
promptly revoked the license of Mr
Tostmann, the revocation to be effect
i've last night.
Ask Continuance
Monday afternoon Tostmann and his
attorney paid the license collector $75
for a continuation of his license for one
month and last evening appeared be-
fore the police commission to ask that
the time of revocation be extended un-
til the last of the month.
Attorney Foley admitted that legal
proceedings questioning the right of the
commission to revoke the license had
already been begun in the courts, and,
although James and Saddler were in
favor of the continuation Mayor Nc
Aleer and Commissioner Mason feared
it might complicate the legal situation,
and refused to grant the favor.
Then Attorney Foley told the COM
mission that it had not revoked any
ones license, anyhow. The license is
held by the name of the Fortuna
Liquor company, while the commission
revoked a license supposed to be held
in the name of Henry Tostmann. 1t
was on this ground that the injunction
was secured and Mr.. Tostmann will
continue in business in spite of the
commissions refusal to permit it until
the case is decided by teh courts.

ACCUSER
Attorneys for Man Charged With MUIR
der Of Joel scheck AIleue Officers
Gained Evidence Through
Inquisltlon Methods

Extensive charges against the local
police department and it's method Of
sweating and treating prisoners against
whom evidence Is wanted. were made
yesterday morning In department one
of the superior court, i'm afHdavits filed
In the case of Ernest G.. Stackpole. who
Is under charge of the murder of Joel
Scheck
Yesterday morning Stackpole was
taken before Judge Smith to plead, but
before the man was allowed to plead
his attorney filed afIldavits with petit
tion TO set aside the information against
the man on the ground that he had not
been properly committed.
The chief affidavit in the collection
was sworn to by Stackpole. The ac-
cused man alleged that after he was ar
rested on the charge of murder he was
hustled to the city Jail and there
thrown into the dungeon.
That three times a day he was
dragged out into a sweat box and there
a gang of detectives crowded about
him and told him that he might as well
confess to the crime of the murder since
Mrs. Scheck had told all and had impli-
Gated him.
Says Detectives Abusive
stackpole further alleges that the de-
tectives became abusive in their
language and that the proceedings all
together made him so i'll that when his
case was called for preliminary exam
nation he was not in fit condition to
handle the case and that he was not
provided with counsel.
In conclusion Stackpole states that
against his wish he was hurried before
Justice Rose and that further against
his wish and without any legal right at
all Judge Rose excluded people from
certain parts of the court room and
tried the case without allowing anyone
to offer advice to the defendant
other affidavits in addition to that
made by Stackpole were offered to the
court and copies were filed with At
torney Fleming, who has been prose-
cutting the case for the district attor-
neys office.
This morning Stackpole will again be
taken to court and then the district at
torney's representatives will be allowed
to file their affidavits in opposition to
Stackpole's statements.
If the affidavts and petition of the
defendant are sustained the informa-
ton against him will be dismissed but
he will be rearrested in court under a
new information.
Even in that case the defense will
have attained its end in that Stackpole
will be allowed new preliminary eX-
animation.
The prosecution. however, is certain
that Stackpole's statements about the
police department can be easily re-
futed and they will fight against the
granting of new preliminary eX-
animation.
In case the petition for new trial
is dismissed Stackpole will be required
to plead to the charge of murder this
morning and arrangements are being
made to handle the crowds of the curl
Gus who thus far have thronged the
court room at every step of the legal
proceedings.
