Jacob Cossman, Favored
by Police Judge,
Is Wanted.

! Police Judge Mogan, candidate for
superior judge, friend of grafters and
J criminals, has become, through his per-
| nicious habit of freeing felons, indi-
rectly responsible for the robbery of T.
! Shibata a Japanese banker and mer-
| chant of 2255 Fillmore street, of s1200.
! The man who in reality committed the
crime is Jacob Cossman, a pseudo real
estate man, a forger many times over
and an ex-convict, who was released
/ on a forgery charge a year ago by
! Mogan.
Cossman's offices were at 1922 Van
Ness avenue and by means of forged
lease he induced Shibata to part with
( $1,000 under the supposition that the
premises at 1915 Fillmore street We're
being rented for a period of six months.
The owner of the property, F. X
Shrohimer. branded the document as a
rank forgery. After securing the mon
ey Cossman decamped.
/ The missing forger appeared before
Judge Mogan about year ago on a
| charge of forgery, preferred by Charles
! Colman. a halter. Through pull and
/ influence he escaped prosecution and
I was released by the court on his own
/ recognizance, despite the fact that he
had previously been convicted of for

paper on Wells, Fargo & Co, Hass

The State had been put to the ex-
pense of bringing Cossman back from
New Orleans, where he had fed. De-
/ tective Ross Whitaker was detailed on
! the case and was dumfounded when
! his prisoner was released after ar
raignment before Mogan. A brother
! from Germany who had plenty of mon
ey, 1t is alleged, was the person who
successfully blocked the wheels of JUS
I tice. After his release Cossman en-
gagged in the real estate business and
kept al that until an opportunity pre-
sented itself. He then boldly conceived
/ the plan OF forging a lease and sue

keeping a sharp look out for Cossman
ever since. Judge Mogans protege has

COURT CANvASSES;
DOC DECAMPS.

To be a candidate for an office OF
such Importance that one must go
from the city TO canvass votes for
the place may have much to recon-
mend it to an ambitious man, but
when one has a valuable dog of the
interesting age of six or eight months
which takes advantage of the excur5
sions Of it's master to decamp, cleo
tioneering loses several of Its delights.
Judge Kerrigan is such a candidate
and he has such dog. Since the cam
paign opened the dog has had the
felicity of arousing the entire police
department to a sense of it's duty
and making the bailiffs of all the Su-
perior courts bestir themse1evs beyond
their wont.
First the collie allowed itself to be
adopted by a little girl who lives in
the neighborhood of the Judges home
al Clay street and Presidio avenue.
The dog liked the little girl and
the little girl was enraptured with
the puppy. With chocolate creams and
lady fingers she allured the Judges

diction At that time he was in the

When he returned from his tour he
learned that the priced and pedigreed

wayward dog found. 1t stayed at home
for a brief period, but soon as the
Judge started on another pilgrimage
for ballots the dog again went astray.
This time Mrs. Kerrigan took up the
pursuit She advertised in all the
papers and got the entire police force
to search for the elusive animal. But
1t could not be found. On the day
before the Judge returned home the
dog appeared and joy reigned in the
house of Kerrigan. An emblazoned
collar, engrossed with the Judges
name, was placed on the dogs silky
neck and he was allowed to play in
the street on condition that he would
not leave the block But he broke his
parole. At night he was not be to
found.
Yesterday a woman called up the
Kerrigan house. and in an aggrieved
tone complained that her dog had

The Supervisors fire committee re-
ported yesterday in favor of granting
a permit to E. w Mcclellan to use
