SANTA ROSA. Aug. 13.-H. A. Grill,

gree by jury in Judge Burnett's s
court, for having killed wintern F.

the death, penalty will be imposed. This
was the second trial of the case At
the first trial Grill was found guilty of
murder in the second degree and SEN
fenced to prison for life. His attor-
neys appealed and a new trial was or
dered. The appeal may, therefore, cost
him his life.
The tragedy occurred in Alexander
Valley last fall and was brought about
through the opposition of Pierce to
Grill as suitor for the hand of his
15-year-old daughter May. Grill. who
is about 40 years of age, desired to
marry the girl, but Pierce told him that
his daughter was too young to wed.
One afternoon Grill called at the
house OF Pierce. had an interview with
the girl, placed her in his buggy at the
gate and then went into the house for
talk with her father. Soon the two
men became engaged In a heated argu-
ment and then shot was heard. Grill
emerged from the house and drove
away with the girl. 1t was charged
that Grill had robbed Pierce after the
murder, as he handed his sweetheart
a large amount of coin during their
ride.
Throughout both trials May Pierce
has presented a complex study. She

Mrs. Lampert had just placed her
satchel on the floor and reached for
her pocket when a well dressed stran-
ger, without a hat, placed paper in
front of her face and inquired if she

negative and the man disappeared
Teller Parsons informed her she was
at the wrong window and the woman
reached for her satchel to carry it to
the proper place and then discovered
that she had been robbed. An old
satchel had been substituted for her

wants the ground to add to
the terminal of the Western Pacific
road. Negotiations are already under
way, and 1T was reported yesterday
from a reliable source that the deal
would go through. In that event the
shipbuilding trust will move its plant
to a site at Hunters Point, adjacent
to the Hunters Point drydock, and
will engage in business on a larger
scale than at present.
Virgil Bogue, chief engineer of the
Western Pacific road, recommended the
purchase of the iron works site a
year ago, but the matter was held in
allegiance by Gould until recently, when
the Southern Pacific Company was dis
covered strengthening its position on
this side of the bay to the extreme
annoyance of the promoters of the
new transcontinental road. 1t was
then that George Gould and Charles
Schwab, the head of the shipbuilding
trust got together regarding the pro-
posed iron works transaction.
Gould's terms were' satisfactory, but
for a time Schwab was at loss
where to move his works. Finally the
entire matter was turned over to

a TRULY feminine hidden pocket
~ in the back of her skirt caused
Mrs. B. Lampert of 400 Locust
street to be robbed of a croco-
dilo bag containing her savings of a
lifetime, $4,000. yesterday morning. The
theft was committed in the banking
rooms of the San Francisco Savings
Urion at California and Montgomery
streets, right under the eyes of an un-
seeing watchman, score Of bank en-
plcyes and a hundred early morning
depositors.
A clever thief who knew the habits
OF women had seen Mrs. Lampert drop
the bag TO the floor while she fshed
in her skirt pocket for her pass book,
and had coolly walked of with tue
meneyed bag, leaving an empty one
In its place. His movements were
figured to a nicely. Mrs. Lampert tri-
umphanNy produced the pass book just
as. he reached the door. 1t took her
about three seconds to change the pass
book from her right to her left hand
and reach down for the crocodile bag.
It took her about ten seconds to rea-
lie that an empty bag had been sub
stituted- Another second passed while
she screamed out the facts Of the rob-
berry and ten more seconds before any
Of the bank employees could reach the
door.
During this half minute the stranger
had disappeared, and al day yesterday
and last night the police looked for
him and the crocodile bag in vain.
The victim is middle-aged woman
She left her home yesterday morning
and went to the Hibernia Bank and
drew from her account there $4,000 in
gold, which she intended to invest in
real estate. After she had drawn this
money she placed it in a twenty two
inch alligator skin satchel and then
proceeded TO the Mint to have the gold
exchanged into currency, as it would
make her burden lighter and more con-
venient to carry.

followed her, awaiting an opportunity
to rob her.

this morning which fortunately ended
passengers or the company s rolling

L. B. Clark, a motorman, while bring.
ing the car down from the college heard
a noise at one side Of the track which
caused him to lean out and peer to the
rear. He does not know what happened
next. He surmises, however, that his
head came in violent iuxtaposition
rate, he parted company with the car,
and just remembers picking himself up
in a dazed condition and seeing the
car disappear around curve.
He remembers also Of going into a
house and vainly trying to telephone a
message which never reached anyone.
Then he started out after the car
again, which had gotten safely around
the corner, and had attained terrific
speed descending the hill toward Main
| street, distance Of seven blocks.
One agitated lady gripping UNI
brella in one appraised hand and bird

car. 1t did not stop. The car made the
distance to Main street safely and then
refusing to jump the track, came to q

his runaway After being taken to his

SOUTH DAKOTA SOAKED
General Agent Johnson Finds Crop
Prospects Ideal, However.

Winona, Mimi, May 3O.-There, has
been most unusual rainfall in South
Dakota this month. This is the state
ment made by A. G. Johnson, general
agent for the North-W Western road, who
is close student of climatic condi-
tons with regard to their effect on
crops. He has collected data cover
ing May and finds that the total rain
fall amounted to 1917 inches. In the
month of April the rainfall was 7
inches in South Dakota, SO that over
II inches of rain has fallen in sixty
days.
Mr.. johnson has collected data on
the rainfall in that state since 1890,
and finds that the average for May
has been inches. In the last few
years the rainfall has been much heav-
Ter than in the first part of this six
teen-year period.
In spite of the heavy rains this year
MT. johnson says that there never was
better promise Of a crop, with more
even, heavy and healthy stand of grain.
