Sacramento, Cal, September II. 1906.
Mr. H ManaSe Honolulu H /

/ Sacramento, Cal, September II. 1906.
| Mr.. H. Manase Honolulu, H. I.
Dear Sir: Yesterday afternoon
called on your son, Edward, who is
now confined in the county jail al
Sacramento, California. He had just
received a letter from you, in which
You said that a certain man here IL
Sacramento, who is called ''Slow john
wanted you to send him $500. to repay
the money advanced to the attorney
who defended your son. AS your son
Edward will write to you about this
matter. 1 viii not go into detail. I will
say that neither I nor my associate
Mr. Finn, have ever received a single
cent for our services in the matter.
We worked hard at the trial and did
the best that could be done at that
time We did not have money with
which to secure some of the evidence
Which we would have liked to have
had, but every one who heard the case
said that we did well under the cir
cum stances. What went against your
sor was the fact that he was a native
of the Hawaiian Islands. You of
course know that some people are so
narrow minded that they will not give
a man a fair trial unless he is a native
born citizen of this country. 1 will
write more of this in another letter,
as 1 am trying to get it into shape TO
be used in the petition to the Gov
ernor
I am informed that q certain attor-
ney in Sacramento refused to take your
sons case unless he was paid $500 in
advance. I suppose it was from this
that 'sSlow John" got the idea that he
could make you believe that he had
paid $500 to assist your son, while as
a matter of fact SLOW John did not
advance any money, and he had not
any money to advance if he wanted
to. He is trying to get this money
from you for his own purposes. and
[ am sure that it will never do Ed
ward any good If you send the money
to him. because he has never taken
any interest in the matter, and I be-
lieve that he wants to see him hanged.
Your son tells me that he has written
you in detail concerning the facts of
tht case and the evidence produced
at the trial. 1 will not have any more
to say about the facts at this time,
but will send you a copy of the evil
dence as soon as we can have 1t print
ed. I will say that ] feel sure that
YOU son acted in self~defense, and did
not intend to commit murder. If 1
felt that he was really guilty of muir
Gel. I would not take the interest IN
the case that I do, and / would not
feel like asking you for money under
those circumstances.
We have decided to take an appeal
TO the Supreme Court of the State OF
California but in order to do that. 1t
is necessary to have some money to
pay certain expenses, and in addition
to that we attorneys have put in lot
of work for nothing. so We feel that
we should receive some pay for our
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-09-25

turn in this time of trouble and he
sincerely hopes that you will assist
him to this extent.
I hope that you will reply immedi-
ately TO this letter and it would be best
for your brothers case if you would
forward the money to him by cable.
Trusting that you will assist your
brother and do it at once. l remain,
yours respectfully,

JURY CONYlCTS
MINING EXPERT.
Career Of John P. Walker, Ac.
complished Confidence Man,
Checked by Court.

Special to The Journal
Butte, Mont, April 30.-John P.
Walker, an all-around confidence man
and alleged mining expert, who at diff
ferent times has posed as Ray Stan
nard Baker, John D. de Forrest and John
D. la Franc, and who in the two years
that he is known to have been in Mon
tana, has duped several wealthy mine
owners and gained entree into the best
society, was convicted at Boulder to-
day of forgery. -
The escapade which has brought him
to the prison door was. in his connection
with the Baltimore mine, near Boulder,
in October of last year. He gave a
woman, with whom he made an arrange
ment for boarding miners bogus check
for $2,S57. Shortly afterward he dis
appeared and was caught at Mildred,
Utah, where he gave another worth
less check. "
The career of Walker has been re.
at Lander, Wyo., where he represented
himself to be Ray Stannard Baker, the
famous political economist, and hav;
ing a scheme which was to put the beef
trust out of existence He negotiated
in the name of the Rothschilds for the
purchase of thousands of cattle and
townships Of lands ends The The first payment

disappeared.
He next was heard Of at Virginia
City, in this state, where he appeared al
Baker, and secured an option on the
famous Kearsarge mine. Ten thousand
dollars was to have been paid on Ger
tain day, but when the day arrived
Walker had again disappeared:
Not long ago, while IN the hlttl'
Rockies, where he was received as min
ing expert, he rendered magnificent
banquet to his friends. At his direc
ton, the hotel proprietor secured tn
choicest Of everything. On the evening
of the banquet the guests arrived ant
patiently awaited the arrival of thei
host. Walker failed to appear and wa
not again heard Of until his last esca
pade.
At the trial at Boulder Walker denied
that he had ever been in Lander or Vir
ginia City and his defense was lapse o:
memory. He insists that he is a NAL
with double personality; that TO
years he has been afflicted with the los
Of memory, which at intervals cover
long periods of time.

Paul people, friends of Charles
w. Scrutchlns, arrived in the
city Saturday evening and Sun

.DAGGETT BURNED
IN AN EXPLOSION
Well.kn0Wn Travelling Man In,
iured Yesterday at Home by
Gasoline Gas.

"A. d. DdSeott, q Woll-kuOWI
travelling man living in Wagner's
addition, had a harrowingexpe
ence with an explosion of gaso
line gas Sunday morning. He
escaped serious injury only by
excellent presence of mind and
the timely aid of neighbors, but
as it is, is rather severely burned
about the hands and face.
Mr.. Daggett was sprinkling
gasoline around in his chicken
coop to kill the lice that infest
the abodes of fowls, and had
thrown out goodly quantity OF
the liquid, when he lit a match.
There was an explosion that
was heard for blocks and the
travelling man, burned and
stunned, and with his clothing
on fire, staggered from the coop
into the open.
For a moment he did not real.
ize what had happened, then he
saw and felt his burning clothing
and rushed for an ash heap near
at hand. In this he rolled and
rolled.
In the meantime, two neigh.
bors, D. D. Harger and A. E.
Winter, who had heard the OK
plosion, made haste to come tc
Daggett's assistance and the
flames we're extinguished in
short order.
The burned man was doctored
up by a Bemidji physician and is
resting easily today.
A pleasant outing party was
given yesterday by Mr.. and Mrs
Shilling and Mr.. and Mrs. Earle
Cell in honor of their guests, Mr.

supper was given for the visitors
on the Shilling lawn. Mr.. and
