mond at 2204 Pacific avenue. but when
she reached Third and Market streets
she stopped the hack and told Carpen-
ter to take the two suit cases to 2204
Pacific avenue. as she inteAded to do
some shopping.
When Mrs. Tobin reached Dimonds

time the police were notified and De-
tectives Matheson and Mulcahey were
detailed on the case. They found Car

was locked up in the City Prison till
he sobered UP.

remembered asking a bartender in
some saloon TO look after the suit
cases till he called for them. The de-
tectives took Carpenter to several sa-
looms he is in the habit of frequenting,
but no trace Of the missing suit cases
could be found.

SEYMOUR WINS JUDGMENT
AGAINST THE FAIR HEIRS
Judge Hebbard Holds That Former
Captain of Detectives Is Entitled
to SI1,1OO.

Superior jude Hebbard has entered
judgment for S11,100 In favor of ex-
Captain of Detectives John Seymour
and against Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs and
Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt, heirs of the
late James G. Fair. The judgment rep
resents the salary Seymour would have
collected as manager of the San Fran
cisco holdings of the Fair estate had he
not been discharged by the defendants
years prior to the expiration of the
contract entered into by him with the
late Charles L. Fair and ratified by Mrs.
Oelrichs and Mrs Vanderbilt.
1t was on June Is, 1902, that Seymour
resigned his position as chief of the
local detective force to accept employ
ment as the manager of the Fair estate
at a monthly salary of $500. This position
he retained until after the death Of
Charles L. Fair, when he was dismissed
Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt hold
ing that the services of manager were
no longer required.
Then Seymour fled suit, but Mrs.
Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt con-
tended that Seymour could not recover,
as the contract upon which he based
his action had not been reduced to
writing. Judge Hebbard held, however.
that the oral contract was sufficient
and gave Seymour judgment
Seymour is now chief of the Wells
Fargo detective force.

his own State, North Dakota. which
hit the packers between the eyes. AMI
which apparently explains why they
have been opp Ssing the pure food bill
