POLICE ARREST
YOUTHFUL THIEF
CoNFESSES TO MANY PETTY
RoBBERlES
Officers Believe They Have Caught
One of Dozen or More Lads Whc
Have Organized for Purpose oi
Pifering Stores

Robert Wilcox, 12 years old, is the
first of a dozen lads who the police
believed are organized to pilfer stores
about the city, to be arrested. Officer
Moore captured young Wilcox about
o'clock last evening near North Spring
street store.
From what the police can learn the
boys have been working a system OF
stealing which until recently baffled
detection. When the authorities began
to suspect that the thefts were the
work of a gang of youngsters they
found it hard to trace the crimes to
anyone in particular.
For more than two weeks the officers
have been working on the theory that
the boys had organized a band but
until yesterday afternoon they were
unable to find any direct clew. After
following young Wilcox about for a
short time they were anabled to get
some idea of the operations, 1t is said.
The Wilcox boy was taken to the
police station and was sent to Captain
Broadhead- There the lad told the
whole story of the thefts. He produced
several articles from his pocket which
he had stolen, he said, during the af-
ternoon.
The boy lives at 114S South Olive
street. The police believe that this lad
has been led into the path of crime by
other lads older.
Officers Moore and Carol will work
on the case until they have discovered
the identity of the other members of
the gang. They believe that they will
recover most of the stolen property

WRONG PRISONER
QUITS THE JAIL
WALKS OUT OF BASTILE WITH
ANOTHER MANS COIN
Officials Are Obliged to Recoup the
Robbed Man From Their Own
Pockets - Closer Watch on
Departing Inmates Ordered

Owing to the blunder of the police,
one of the prisoners in the city jail
was able to pass as another man, secure
nearly $40 deposit and obtain his re-
lease.
This is the second time this year
tnat prisoner has escaped from Jail
by assuming another mans name. and
in future a different procedure will be
adopted in all cases where prisoners
have cash bail.
James Anderson was arrested on a
charge of drunkenness and in default of
bail locked up in jail.
James Henderson, an aged man, ar
rested by Patrolman Vignes on the
same charge, was found to have $37.
He was locked up to sober off," An
derson demanded to be let out on bail.
saying that he had plenty of money
in charge Of the desk sergeant or prop
erty clerk. Assistant Jailer Murray as
certained that the supposed Henderson
had nearly $40 to his credit and allowed
him to leave. The man made a de-
post of IS. of Henderson's money, and
left the station.
A short time after it was learned
that the wrong man was allowed his
freedom and Captain Broadhead made
an investiga tion. Henderson was given
his liberty and the money that was
taken from him by the shrewd trick of
Anderson will be refunded to the old
man by the officers who were instru-
mental in allowing the prisoner to es-
cape.
Desk Sergeant Mcclure, on duty at
the time that Anderson cozened the
officers Assistant Jailer Murray and
Patrolman Vignes, viii probably share
the loss in order that Henderson may
be reimbursed for somebody's blunder
The story leaked out yesterday, but
no one could be found who would adj
NIT that he was responsible for An
derson's clever escape.
Patrolman Vignes is much chagrined
over the affair and says he will cap
ture Anderson and make him pay
dearly for the ruse that ena bled him
TO secure freedom at anothers expense
and Incidentally secure nearly $40 not
his.

HOLIDAY LEGALITY
MILL IIAur TrnT
WILL nHVt ltJI
ATTORNEYS PREPARE HABEAS
CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
JslIs Crowded With Prisoners Await
ing Trlal-cases May Go to the
Supreme Court for Final
Decision

More than a score Of habeas corpus
petitions are being prepared by attor-
neys in Los Angeles, and unless the
holidays are declared at an end within
a short TINT there will be a concerted
movement on the part Of the ATTORNEYS
to test the legality Of the enforced
holiday season I'm Southern California.
1t Is not proposed by the attorneys
to fight against the constitutional right
of the governor to declare holidays
Their attack Will be directed against
the superior judges refusal to even
grant habeas corpus proceedings in the
higher courts.
At an Informal meeting of attorneys
yesterday afternoon a general plan of
campaign was discussed, and when the
attorneys left the meeting 1t was to
prepare for immediate action.
Since the San Francisco disaster and
the holidays Immediately following the
catastrophe the county and city jails
have been crowded with men and
women arrested and held to await trial.
No trials can be held, and men against
whom simple misdemeanor charges
have been filed have more than served
out any fine that could be given them,
and have yet to stand trial.
One Case Heard
According to the statement of attor-
neys. such condition of affairs is un-
constitutional, for a man is entitled to
have his case carried to the superior
court no matter what may happen, un-
less 1t be in time of rebellion or in
vasion.
In only one case thus far permission
for a hearing on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings has been granted. This was
the case of a kidnapping charge filed
against Eugenio Bustillo, a young
Mexican millionaire. Attorney Allan
der, representing the young Mexican,
was refused habeas corpus proceedings
in the superior court and then carried
his case to the appellate court, where
he was granted the right to explain the
case to Judge James of department
seven of the superior court.
The case failed as test for the Grim
inal charge against the elder Bustillio
was withdrawn before the petition for
habeas corpus could be heard.
In the case of Mrs. Alberta Dabney
Storrs, who was arrested on a charge
of having murdered her husband, at
torneys for her will probably present
a petition for habeas corpus today to
the appellate court in an attempt to
have the complaint against Mrs. Storrs
dismissed under the statute of lmita-
tions

RANEY HINKLE CASE UNSETTLED
Decision of the Supreme Court Throws no Light on the
 Senatorial Muddle.

The supreme court on last Mon- day passed upon the Rqney- Hinkle election contest case appealed from the Independence chancery court, and declared that the chancery court had no jurisdiction of the subject-matter of the action and the decree therein was void.
 This places the matter back just where it was before the contest proceedings were filed and leaves the people yet in doubt as to who is the rightful nominee.
 Mir. Raney has not been in the city since Sunday and 1t is not known what his intentions are, but it is presumed that he will appeal to the senatorial convention and will endeavor to have the conven- tion meet and pass upon the mat ter at an early date.
